Halloween Invites

The theme for the Halloween party this year is Zombies.  I am a little disappointed, I have such a collection of cute monsters, pretty witch.es, wiggle eyes and bling.  Here are the 2 prototypes, we are going with the invite on the left.  Cut with my new Cricut cartridge, Frightful Afair.  At least I got to use my new cartridge.

Stamp-a-Faire Limited Supply Challenge

Cards were made for Stamp-a-Faire Limited Supply Challenge.  The top card (which I can't seem to turn around) was based on Ashley Cannon Newell's card.  I used stamps from Half and Half and Simple Sunflowers, totally changed up the colors.  The second was a pretty close lift of Betsy Veldman's card although I used stamps from Day Dreamer and used the Fillable Frames #10 die for my window.  The 3rd card was a copy of Nichole's  original card but I used Simple Sunflower stamps for my flowers and my sentiment is from the Half and Half set.  Link to the challenge with tutorials can be found here:

Stamp-a-Faire Mini Book Challenge

My pics are out of order that bottom picture is actually the cover.  This little book is SO CUTE.  I ended up buying the die that we used to cut the pages.  All PTI products, the stamps used were primarily Round and Round and Day Dreamer.  Tutorial and posts can be found here:

I used PTI ribbon on my card and die cut the butterfly ande flowers from the card using PTI dies.  Stamps used were Round and Round, Day Dreamer, and Flower Fusion sets 1 and 2.  I hand cut the grass.

Foam drink cozies with Cricut

I saved this idea a long time ago, wish I could find the blog I got it from, but basically just cut vinyl names and designs and burnished them on to foam drink cozies that I bought for next to nothing at the end of last summer.  I made one each for Jackie, Jeanette, and my 3 nieces. 

OK, got lots of cards made at the Hillvue crop over the weekend.  These are just my originals, there are a ton more that I lifted from other people, LOL.  The patriotic cupcakes are just a Studio G stamp and leftover papers.  Ride Em Cowboy is cut at 3.2" from County Fair and face stamped with retro Peachy Keen faces, LOVE them.  Circus lion is cut at 5" from Wild Card 2.  The Patriotic Flag was another attempt at using up stuff.  The paper was from an old scrapbooking "page-a-day" calendar while the flag and star was from my collection of old Deluxe Cuts laser cuts I never used!  The vintage man and women are cut from Art Deco, I love these but wow, a lot of tiny details to cut.  The blue flower card I whipped up from leftovers from a scrapbook page from a class from who knows how long ago, Anna Griffin, probably CK convention pieces left over.  "Lovely" is made from DCWV Lady Couture stack and a couple of misc. die cuts, this is a GREAT paperpad for making cards, the images are awesome, very little work to do.  And last is surfer dude, how cool is he?  Cut at 5" the surfer is from H20 and the island is from Pack Your Bags.  This cute guy's face is also stamped with those retro faces from Peachy Keen.
