November Shoe Box Cards

And just like that... the holidays are upon us.  

Times flies when your having fun!  Shoebox cards are always fun.  Here are the amazing creations for November!!

This card uses a cricut wreath with stamped berries and simple bow wishing Autumn Wishes.  (There were options for both gold and red.)  Many years ago, Kathy brought me a bay berry wreath as a gift and so this card is in honor of her.  

Anita wowed us with another beautiful card and shared tips to use markers to color beautiful roses with dimension.  Love the textured dots on the white side and the pink polka dots on the bottom.  This is a very classy card.

Beth's very punny card features raspberry, black and white... love the pearls and the white dots on the black paper!  and the ribbon really adds an elegant touch... The inside says... Full of fiber (clever, she used a label maker to create the punch line)... You're Welcome.  What fun!  We all enjoyed the humor!! Beth is a dietitian:)

Here's Julie's super cute Turkey card.  It's the impossible card with a turkey!  It's so cute!!  The different sized scallop punched cardstock really makes the turkey!  Such a darling card.  What a fun and festive card!

Melani really challenged us with this card... we had to stamp, score, fold, punch, mask,  stamp again... and color.  The thought behind this card was touching... when a friend is down and out, "Best Friends listen to what you don't say"  the greeting changes from thinking of you to hugs.. It's pretty amazing!

Roxxy treated us to a friend card too... and coloring... Lots of coloring tonight... and that actually helped because there were more coloring supplies available.  This sweet little card features a slate blue card with pop of yellow and a piece of rich colored B&T paper.  It also sports a teal ribbon.  It's a very sweet card.

Shannon shared this fun bubble gum card...  We stamp the bubblegum machine and colored it and cut it out... then stamps the balls and the greeting.  Such a fun card!  There was lots of giggling involved with this card.  

We missed Kathy and hope she can make it next month!  The next shoebox cards will be Tuesday, December 4 at 7:00 PM.  Thanks for stopping by to check out our creations!  We love our girls night and are so glad to have Beth join us again!  She fits right in!!

Hello Pumpkin layouts

Hi Everyone,  

Always a joy to work on Halloween layouts!  These were particularly fun... probably because stamping was involved.  This kit is Hello Pumpkin.

This is a list of the stamps sets used:
E1032 Typography Alphabet
D1806 Hello Pumpkin Scrapbooking
z4045 Cats and bats Scrapbooking (retired)

Cricut font Arial Bold
Cricut cartridge Artbooking spooky fence 

This the hostess club layout.  it uses pattern 8 from the Make It From Your Heart  volume 3 pattern book.  This layout was a lot of fun to create!  The ghosts and cats are stamps from Hello Pumpkin scrapbooking.  Boo is from the retired cats and bats stamp set.

What fun this layout was to put together... zip strips and cricut fence and bits of this and that.  It's a charming layout that will bring a smile to anyone's face:)  This super cute layout was inspired by Brenda Rose.

This bewitching layout is fun and fabulous.  It uses lots of zip strips and the orange stars add a touch a whimsy to this darling layout.  This layout also includes stamping, the web, the spider, the bats and stars as well as the title "good witch".  The word "Fright" is cut from a PML card and Trick or Treat is from the Artbooking Cricut cartridge.  This layout is inspired by Julie Carriere.  

It's always fun to add a different look for the kit.  Here's an unexpected layout using the large striped paper.  An extra 1/4 strip of black was added to the top and the bottom to create the look.  It's a fun design and was inspired by Kristin Reiss.

The last layout was fun to mix and match.  This page is decorated using stickers from the complements and a the Marigold Shin Han Marker to color in the stickers.  This simple layout comes together quickly!!

The next Hostess Club will be Tuesday, December 11 and we will be creating layouts featuring Grateful Heart.  Please order your kit by Saturday December 1st and join us as we create at least three layouts using this lovely fall kit.  Doors open at 5:00 PM.  See you soon!!
