Hi everyone! Thank you all soooo much for stopping by my blog everyday to leave awesome comments on each Jacob post, it means the world to me!!! I made this Team Jacob card for Chloe (Jacob's Owner) and to add it in his super cool luggage (below). I had fun making this card I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the Jacob doll and Pumpkin Carving cart for the wolf and moon silhouette. I used my Tim Holtz Type set die in my Cuttlebug for the letters. I stamped the face with Peachy Keen Stamps. I had my hubby draw a 6 pack on Jacob eventhough he really didn't want to LOL! I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone he drew it haha, promises are meant to be broken sometimes LOL! Just don't tell my honey I told you!

I am so sad to see Jacob and Clippy the Koala leave me, how dare you!!! LOL!! Well at least I will get to see Jacob again on November 18th when I go see breaking Dawn woo-hoo!! hopefully he takes his shirt off again so I can see his hotness LOL!! I really enjoyed having Jacob visit me these last 2 weeks, he was such a helper and we even did some fun stuff like Trick or Treating and taking a trip to a Corn Maze! Jacob and Clippy are welcome back in my home anytime!!!! Jacob and clippy are packed and ready to leave Southern California for a much cooler climate in Illinois where they will be going next to http://coolbeansbylb.blogspot.com/ house, so be sure to check out L.B.'s blog in the next week or so to see how Jacob will be helping her out! L.B. I really hope you enjoy having this hot scrappy assistant in your home, I sure did eventhough I think my hubby was a little jealous, and my son thought he was getting new toys LOL!!

#130-131 Friday the 13th Blog Hop

Thank you to ELSA CRICUT LVR for making this amazing blinky!!

Welcome to the Flaunt It Friday's Friday the 13th Blog Hop hosted by Sandra! This is a fun, cute and spooky hop where we will be featuring the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cart. We are so sorry that this is up way late because of problems all day posting with Blogger, and we are aware of some missing links in the hop so be sure to keep checking back when you can!

For this week's challenge we are asking you to use the HAPPY HAUNTINGS cartridge and the cut choice this week is the FRIDAY THE 13th phrase on Page 54! You can create anything you want and for an extra challenge try to challenge yourself to create something different from last week's project. If you do not own this cart feel free to use any similar cut from any cartridge, you have one week to enter the challenge. 

For my first project I made a layout just for today! I have to admit I don't think I've ever took any pictures on such a spooky day! I stamped the sentiment on this Tim Holtz tag with Fired Brick Distress ink and inked it up I think it looks bloody! I also punched some borders with my MS Drippy Goo Punch. I made a little Jason doll with my Gypsy and the hockey mask I made using the Blackletter "Free" Gypsy cart and got the circles from Plantin Schoolbook. The body, gloves, ax, clothes and shoes are all from Everyday Paper Dolls. I also added some blood to the ax and used my chalks to give his clothes a dirty look. I embossed the photo mat with my woodgrain embossing folder and inked it up and added some buttons. Isn't this paper so perfect for this theme!! Luckily I found it hidden in my stash of papers and it's from Rusty Pickle. The phrase is from Happy Hauntings and I added pop dots underneath

Here's a close up  of my masterpiece LOL!

Now onto my 2nd project which is a mini album made out of coffee filters!!  My 2nd cut choice from the Happy Hauntings cart was the large pumpkin with a curly vine. All papers and embellishments are from K & Company.

The title says "Aidan's 1st Pumpkin Carving" and is filled with the "extra" pics that are leftover from my scrapbook layouts, a good way to use more pictures instead of just having them sit in a box. I used drippy goo punch for the green slime, used my branch punch around the title and embossed the pumpkin. The letter's are from Tim Holtz Typset die. I also added some stickles to the pumpkin vine and added several pieces of ribbon.

Page 2 and 3 I punched each photo mat with the cracked branch punch from Martha Stewart and also added a pumpkin border.

Page 4 and 5 I stamped all faces with Peachy Keen stamps which I used Pumpkin Faces, and Pumkin Face Assortment and Monster Faces. Yes that picture is of me and my son when he was only a 1 year old!

Page 6 and 7 I also embossed all large pumpkins with my woodgrain embossing folder in my Cuttlebug. Isn't he cute! He was so little LOL! The little owl was a piece of patterend paper that I cut out.

Page 8 and 9 here's our final pumpkins...can you guess which one was mine? I made the skull pumpkin and my hubby made the ugly man face haha! I also carved my son's little baby pumpkin!

Back cover more green slime and I also stamped both sides of all of the pumpkin tags. Here's a little pumpkin monster that I also cut from patterned paper.

I cut all tags from Sweet Treat, and all pumpkins from Create A Critter.

On this side I wrote cute pumkin poems on all of them which I found online, and did my journaling on one of them.

#76 Yankees Card

Hi everyone here's a fun card I made for a Cutom order, my customer asked for a Yankees Birthday card and I first I had no idea what I was going to do especially since I know nothing about sports LOL! Then a lightbulb finally went off in my head and I thought "Yankees Logo"!! I am so glad that lightbulb went off because now I know what to make when I need Masculine cards, I can't make logo cards of their favorite sports teams.

 The baseball is from the new Life's A Party cart I love that cart there's so much on it! The hat is from Stand and Salute and the baseball bat is fromn Everyday Paper Dolls, I made this a few weeks ago and I am so sorry but I do not remember which cart this font is from.

Here what I found online when the lightbulb went off LOL! My Inspiration:

Be sure to mark your calendars for the IMAGINE THAT BLOG HOP hosted by me! This Sat. 3/26 @5Am PST

#9 Sexy Nurse card LOL!

Hi everyone I have some very exciting news to share with you....Abby from Scrapbookaholic By Abby has asked me to be a Designer on her SEI challenges. The challenges will be held bi-weekly with Blog candy sponsored by SEI! I am so trilled to join her on her creative journey. For this week's SEI challenge the theme is Smiles/and or laughter, well I chose both LOL! I cut the doll from Everyday Paper Dolls and cut her hair from Paper Doll Dress up it's actually my favorite hair from both of those carts and it's the Vampire Girls hair LOL! It kinda reminds me of my hair except I have brown hair. I stamped her face with PKS BABY FACES, the syringe, and giant band-aide are from Everyday Paper Dolls also. The tag where I stamped the perfect sentiment is from Gypsy Wanderings. I used the SEI With ALL MY HEART paper line for her shirt, and 2 background papers. On the white colored paper I stamped a pink swirly and inked the edges with pink chalk in and added some ribbon. Please make sure you head over to Abby's  blog to enter her Smiles and Laughter Challenge to win some beautiful SEI paper!

#167 Softball Just Because Card

Hello and good evening everyone! I made this card for Throwback Thursday which is Sport's Theme. This was a real challenge for me since I don't like sports, I just got this sentiment stamp at the Scrapbook Expo that I went to on Sat. and I was thinking of Emma's Challenge and how perfect this would be to use this sentiment with a baseball/softball player swinging a bat, or even a golfer, tennis player! Yep I was thinking of you Emma while I was shopping LOL!!! The scallop sqaure is from Gypsy Wanderings and the girl is from Everyday Paper Dolls I love making dolls! I then added some Prima flowers,brads and a pop dot to the ball to complete the look. Keep an eye out because I will be posting more projects tonight HINT Halloween cards, baby card, and a layout! Stayed glued to your computer LOL!

#102 Back to School Card (My Sheri Crafts)

Since I've already made a card for this week's challenge at Paper Playtime I've decided to make another one for My Sheri Crafts back to school challenge. For this back to school card I cut the scallop square from AE, then stamped the entire alphabet  background, the apple and books are from Hello Kitty Greetings (I didn't know that was on there LOL!), the boy is from ACY and the pencil is from Everyday Paper Dolls. For the pencil I cut it on a light tan paper, then colored the eraser, metal part, pencil and pencil tip with markers. The sentiment is also a stamp, which is a stamp from a Hero Arts set that I got at JoAnn's for .98!! Gotta love them deals!

#82 Bubbles theme for (Paper Playtime #7)

Plenty of bubbly embossing LOL!

I am so happy and excited to be Queen again at Paper Playtime for the Bubbles theme. I decided to do a LO of my son's 1st trip to the Aquarium when he was 10 months old while on vacation in Mazatlan, Mexico 2 years ago!!! I was inspired by the fish tank he was looking at in the picture here, so I used my creativity to make this Layout look exactly like a fish tank what do you think!?! I embossed pretty much everything with my cuttlebug, added some stickles, distress inks and used my Peachy Keen stamps on some of the faces.  I used 6 different carts so here is a list:

Plantin Schoolbook-   circle
Zooballo-  title and orange fish
Everyday Paper Dolls-  Purple fish
Create a Critter-  Seahorse, green plant, blue waves (it was a layer to something else that I welded together to make one long 12 inch strip) starfish, sea shell,  and yellow/red/white fish
Life's a Beach-  coppery colored coral reef
A Child's Year-  bubbles

#72 Grill King Father's Day Card

I cut all images from EPD on mostly white paper to make it fast, and I use chalk to color everything. The background paper is from DCWV paper stack, it's the kitchen stack. I create smoke above the grill with some doodling and gray chalk, and stamped sentiment.

#69 Water LO

These are some cute and funny pics of my son on a very hot August day while on vacation. We bought a big gallon of water and he got so happy and was reaching for it he wanted to hold it and drink it all, my husband and I felt the same because it was hot! The title and water faucet are GS, the red frames that I CB'd are GW. The water drops are from EPDDU. I made one large water drop for my journaling.  I also put 4 buttons and 3 different strips of ribbon.

#63 Pool Time 2 pg LO

Pg. 1Pg.2

Here's a 2 pg LO I created about the 5 pools at our hotel. The title is from SB I distressed with white chalk ink. The boy, float, and 3 beach balls are EPDDU, the two palm trees are SYI and the marquee is SB. I did some journaling and added a border of fish stamps. I put stickles on the balls and trees. I put 2 different strips of ribbon across both pages and final touch I added Prima flowers and buttons.
