Best Witches -- for Joy's Life

It's a scary week this week with the Joy's Life design team.  We're creating witches, ghosts, and monsters.  Yeah, we're in full Halloween mode!

I found an adorable witches hat card I wanted to try, and I'm pleased with how it turned out.  What do you think?

 

 

The sentiment is from the Joy's Life "Halloween Puns" stamp set. I cut the hat out on my Silhouette, using an SVG witch hat file from The Cutting Café. The spider is from The Silhouette  Online Store.

The woven bow is from 3 Girl JAM. I combined Harvest orange and Tuxedo black ribbons together to form the bow. Papers are all from Close To My Heart.

I hope you enjoyed today's "scary" creation!



Best Witches -- for Joy's Life

 Happy Sunday, everyone. Joy is having a card parade on her Joy's Life blog today, featuring Halloween cards from her design team.  It wasn't a requirement to participate, but I so wanted to use this SVG file from The Cutting Café that I knew I HAD to participate!

 

 

Isn't this just the cutest? I used the Joy's Life Halloween Puns stamp set to stamp the fun "Best Witches" sentiment. 

 

 

The card was cut out on my Silhouette, and it uses the witch boot shaped card cutting file from The Cutting Café.  The Halloween papers are some of the first I ever bought.  They've been in my stash for a few years now, but I think they are from Fancy Pants.

Check out the Joy's Life blog to see the other wonderful creations from the Joy's Life design team.

Boo! for Joy's Life

Happy Monday, my friends.  The theme this week for the Joy's Life design team is Halloween bags.  I found an adorable one at My Scrap Chick that I decided worked wonderfully with the adorable Joy's Life Halloween Puns stamp set.

 

 

Scary, isn't it, LOL? I thought this was the sweetest ghost I'd ever seen with those rosy cheeks and top knot.

The Halloween Puns stamp set and all of the Joy's Life sets can be found in the Joy's Life store.

 

Don't forget to check out the Joy's Life design team  projects all week to see more Halloween bag inspiration.

There's lots of great 3D ideas out there for Halloween.  I had trouble figuring out just what to make.  Then, I found these cute treat boxes, and knew what I wanted to do.  I'm getting together with two good friends late in October, and I thought these would be perfect to tuck a few sweet treats in:

 

Aren't these fun? The sentiments are from Joy's Life Halloween Puns stamp set.

You can find this set, and all of Joy's wonderful stamps HERE in her store.

This coffin box cutting file is from the Silhouette online store, and can be found HERE. The boxes were cut out on my Silhouette Cameo. I cut them out with black Close To My Heart cardstock, then heavily inked the edges with CTMH White Daisy pigment ink. The sentiments were stamped on CTMH Gypsy colored cardstock.  The banner shape was created using the Designer Edition software, and adjusting a banner shape to fit inside the coffin box. The bats, also cut out on the Silhouette, were left over from a project earlier in the week, and fit perfectly.  Lucky me! I used some Totally White twine from Trendy Twine. 

Halloween is all about the candy, so how about some blog candy? I have some Halloween stamps, ribbon, Halloween rub-ons, and embellishments to give away.

Too Cute To Spook -- For Joy's Life

I know it's only  September, but I've been working on some Halloween things already.  I wish I could get going on Christmas! Maybe soon, LOL!

This week, the Joy's Life design team is sharing scrapbooking ideas.  It's been a few months since I've found time to make a layout, so I enjoyed this assignment very much!

Golden Retrievers are wonderfully docile dogs, and my Sophie is no exception.  I dressed her up until she felt silly and went on a Halloween photo shoot for this layout.  What do you think? Is she too cute to spook?

 

 

Joy's Life "Halloween Puns" stamp set was used throughout this layout.

 

You can find it, and all Joy's wonderful stamps in her STORE.

I used Fancy Pants Halloween papers on the layout, and a Fancy Pants acrylic spider web overlay.  The Close To My Heart Artbooking cartridge was used to cut the picture frames and bats.  The arrows and fancy rectangle shape are from the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge. I also used some chipboard arrows from Umwow Studio on this layout.

I hope you enjoyed my Silly Sophie and her Spooky Halloween outfit.  She's ready for the holiday.  Are you?
