Cutest Little Pumpkin in the Patch

The theme this week at Fantabulous Cricut is Leaves. I knew I had a cute picture of my littlest nephew with a pumpkin that would be perfect for this one. Used paper from DCWV Indian Summer....and a large, flocked houndstooth marquee cut from Recollections. Title is computer generated...then mounted to Storybook marquee banners (pop dotted the layers.) The bear is handpieced....I had a clip art image I loved and I re-created him with George, Paper Doll Dress Up, and added a Stretch Your Imagination pumpkin. Cuttlebugged the pumpkin with distressed stripes....made another I attached to a Paper Doll Dress Up fence...and sprinkled some silk leaves all around. This is for the Paper Playtimes Pumpkins or Spider Webs challenge and Frosted Designs Fall/Halloween challenge.

Dinomite!

Still scrappin' those Disney pics!  For this one, I used the sketch at Stuck on U Sketches, well....I sorta used the sketch....I cannot follow sketches no matter how hard I try!!  The basic layout of paper is the SOUS sketch anyway.

I used PDDU for the dinosaur and palm trees as well as the bone (aged with ink) for the title bar.  Used Thickers for the title, and the little triceratops was hand pieced by me from a clip art image (I printed it out and cut from it.)

Pirates of the Gift Shop

To get my mind off of all the snow, I've been scrappin' Disney pictures (finally!)  My crew loved to go around trying on different Mouse ears...these pics were at the Pirates of the Caribbean.  I used the pirate map from PDDU, cut at 10" real size, inked well, for the background.  Matted the pics..added a skull and crossbones from Indie Art and a title from stickers.   I like this one....and it only took 30 minutes!

Bootiful - SOUS challenge

Stuck on U Sketches had a wonderful sketch this week.   As soon as I saw it, I knew what I wanted to do....but it took until today for me to get some time to work on it.  Used Imaginesce paper and black spider paper is Heidi Grace.  The title is Imaginesce and SYI pumpkins.   The circle is made from witch's hats (PDDU) and then filled in with little Halloween critters from PDDU and SYI pumpkins. 

Halloween '09

My husband's family had a Halloween Bash this year.   Here are the adults!   Paper is a black polka dot glitter from DCWV.  The borders are dimensional stickers from WalMart and the bottom paper is imaginesce....as is the rub-on title.  I attached some of the pictures with pop dots for interest.  The haunted house is PDDU, cut at 4 1/2" real dial size.   I added black glittery paint to the windows...and put some little 1" PDDU ghosts in the house.   Used silver metallic ink around the whole thing.  Attached with pop dots.

Witch's Brew - Practical Scrapper's Challenge

Made this layout of Kati last Halloween for the Practical Scrapper's Challenge which was to use decorative edge scissors.  Paper is last years DCWV Fall stacks and the green spider paper is from Target.  The little witch embellishment is from PDDU and Pooh and Friends. (Details are on my other blog:  Love, Laughter, and Creations!)  Used spiders and webs from PDDU cut on real size 2" and 3".   Title is a vellum sticker I had in my stash. 

Fall Fun!

This is the first layout I've made without having a picture first.  I was playing around the other day and made a cute little crow out of Doodlecharm's eggs for a card.  I liked him so much, I decided to make a layout with him.   Kati will have to get photographed at the Cedar Bluff Fall Festival in a couple of weeks.

The paper on this one is DCWV Green Stack.  The title is Pooh Font (Marker), cut in yellow and inked with a mahogany ink.  The fence is PDDU, detailed with a bronze gel pen and ink.  The crows are Doodlecharm eggs and PDDU for the hats.  More details are on my other blog,sherrisllc.blogspot.com.  The pumpkins are George ovals, inked, glued together, and embellished with rafia bows. 

You Take the Cake

Baby Bo's 2nd birthday!   This layout depends on the pattern paper........used Sassafras Lass and Prima Dude....as well as American Crafts Game Day.  The title is cut from ZooBalloo and the clown is PDDU.

Here is a close up of the clown:

scrap swap characters

I signed up for a swap where you had to make a paper doll and a title for a boy, a girl, a holiday, and anything goes. Here are my creations!

Isn't She Lovely?

Kati going to prom last spring. I really wanted to make a paper doll of her in that cute polka dot dress. I cut the doll at 4 1/2" on blackout...then I used the Cave Girl's hair...embellished with bronze gel pen and ink. The dress is the hula girl's bra-top and the prom girl's dress (handtrimmed to make it shorter and I cut the top portion of it off as well.) I cut these double - one in white and one in pink. I used a standard hole punch in the white layer and then ran it through the cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. Added a big pink bow at the waist and some earrings. The shoes are the Prom Girl's with some handtrimming to make a heel for them. I did her face myself and used some gel pen accents...chalked the cheeks. And she had to have some nail polish. All the paper is DCWV from a variety of stacks.....lettering is from various punchouts/ stickers that I had in my stash. The trim is a clearance find at Wal-mart. Flower was in the "closet" too...can't remember where I got it.

Bo is One!

My nephew Bo received a ride-on John Deere tractor for his birthday. That was my inspiration for this scrapbook page. The little "Bo" is made with PPDU, but all the clothes and hat are hand cut. I used basic cuts from the cartridge and cut around them. He was the first doll I tried with PPDU. Lettering is Alphalicious.

Sock It To Me!

My first layout of 2009! The only thing my daughter Kati asked for this Christmas was a sock monkey. Here is her scrapbook page with her monkey, Bob! (She got sock monkey slippers too!)
Papers are Daisy D's Bambino collection and I just pieced the different designs together on brown cardstock. Then I used a strip of banana paper for the upper/lower borders and trimmed with some yellow ribbon. Attached a red ribbon and bow to the side and used Keystone for the letters.
The sock monkey is my design! I used paper doll dress up - cut 2 brown figures at 4 1/2" and one ivory one, using blackout. I glued them all together, rounded off the ivory hands, and trimmed the brown bodies hands/feets so the ivory would show. I cut a 1" and 1 1/2" oval one from George in ivory and a 1" and 1 1/2" oval two from George for the mouth and bottom. The tail was the monkey on Zooballoo....cut at 4"1/2 on Layers/Shadow in brown and ivory and then hand trimmed until I liked the look. It was glued betweent the body pieces. The hat was the top third of the pilgrim boy's hat in ivory with a brown band from the same hat. The pompon was made from crochet yarn. The eyes are Favorite Findings buttons, and I drew the facial details. And we had to put his bottom on to match the doll! We love him at our house!
