Halloween Ghost treat card and Hanging Out With Layout….

I saw this card on Kelly’s blog and thought it was the cutest little card and I made mine a tad bit different. It was a lot of fun…we did it Saturday morning as a Make and Take at SCRAPS in Houlton…Thank you Kelly for sharing your card with all of us here in Maine.

So here’s our version of Kelly’s card…I only had 2 cardmakers on Saturday, and one was I believe the youngest student we have had so far…He is only 6 years old and he made an adorable card. He definitely has talent, be sure to check out the layout he did on Monday night. Yup, he came back to our class on Monday evening and he did a fantastic job! It’s nice to see the creativity of these young kids. So enjoy our cards and our layouts.

Treat cup is from Stampin Up, stamp is from the G series and instead of heat embossing we just used the versa mark, to create some depth on our card. The ghost was cut from Make the Cut, the RiP was cut from Wild Cards cartridge.

This first layout was the color that I had originally planned to do, but once I had it on my table, I wasn’t sure if I liked it, so I kyboshed it and went with my second choice, which I will be posting below. When I had this paper on the table, a couple of the girls commented on the colors and so I decided to throw it together after all…this layout will be down to SCRAPS for sale for $12.00, all you have to do is add your own pictures and any journaling.

  Isn’t this the cutest little monkey ever? Oops I just noticed I forgot to put the bows on this page, guess I best go do that right now :)

So here’s the page I did for the class, I think I like them both, what’s your opinion. We love to read your comments so please be sure to leave them. Thanks, Enjoy the rest of the girls/and young men’s layouts.

 

So here’s our youngest scrapbookers layout…way to go Collin! 

All the cut pieces in these layouts were done with svg files and cut with Make the Cut software.

Leaf Jumpin

So we are back on schedule with our classes resuming at SCRAPS! Tonight’s layout was a long the lines of a more primitive layout, with an old crow, prim sunflowers, prim colored papers, with chalking and using pen for added dimensions. I used MTC to create all the cuts for this layout. I used vinyl for the second page of the title “Jumpin” and on the first page, we used Maya Road spray mist to the green title “Leaf”, and on my layout I wanted to add just a little more, so when I got home I dug out my Copic markers and used my sprayer to add some more primitive/fall like colors onto my title. I really liked how it came out.

I forgot my camera again tonight :( so as soon as the girls email me their layouts, I will post them. Each one came out so nice, and I think this has definitely got to be the quickest class we ever had…we were done before 8 pm! Here is my layout: Enjoy!

FALL Layout

October 4th Class….Yay, it’s on :) Scrapbooking night at SCRAPS in Houlton. We have taken the summer off and a few of us met throughout the summer doing some layouts and cards and I think we had a really nice time getting together and sharing ideas. Since our break, I think there has been 2 Scrapmania’s and one retreat at Toni’s camp…so much fun getting together and scrapping, sharing some details of our lives, laughing, eating, crying, scrapping, eating ( oh did I say that already, it seems at everyone of these events, we have the best food ever) If you have never gone to a Scrapmania or a Retreat…you should…it is the most relaxing time ever and with great company with the same goals of getting some nice scrapbooking pages made.

Be watching for SCRAPS big announcement…it is so exciting, if you haven’t heard already….I think you will see some new and exciting things happening at our little store. So be watching.

Onto this week’s class…I want to thank Dina L…for her wonderful cut files. We have been working together to help turn them also into MTC files, making it easier for you to have all your pieces ready to cut, add paper, hit cut…how easy peasy is that?

Recipe for Fall layout:

4 Choc Chip Cardstock cut at 6 1/4 x 4 1/4

2 Green Cardstock (your choice) 6 x4

2 PP (your choice) 6 x 4

2 Choc Chip Cardstock 4 1/4 x 4 1/4

2 Cream or Tan or Lt brown 4 x 4

2 Cream or Tan or Lt Brown 3 x 11 3/4

2       “                        “ 4 1/2 x 11 3/4

2 PP ( your choice)   4 x 11 3/4

If you like the effects, I chalk all my pieces to add a little extra dimension to it. I leave about about a 1/4 inch border all the way around my layout, and in between the strips that I have on this layout. I used the Cuttlebug on my top borders, and my 4 x4  mats.
