"Fright Night" Handmade Halloween Card using MME "Haunted" Papers

Sketch N Scrap also has the new car sketch up and running.... Take a look at Card Sketch # 12:

Here is my "Halloween Inspired" card:

I used various papers from the MME "Haunted" paper pad and embellies by K&Company, Martha Stewart, and Jolees.  Very simple, and "cutely" spooky!!!!

"Together Forever" Wedding Scrapbook Layout

2 Broke Girls also has their new sketch up!!!!  Here's a look at sketch # 25:

And here is a layout I made for my cousin's recent wedding gift (I added photos of MY wedding ONLY for purposes of this photo... They were removed and this layout was placed inside a shadow box as their gift!!):

The colors of the wedding were a bright blue, red, and white.  It was also a "country" style wedding so I wanted something that brought that out as well.  These papers were PERFECT!!!!! I just so happened to have some photos that would match the overall "theme" of the page and put them in for the pic!!! 

The papers are by Recollections and Cloud9 Design, as well as basic red and white cardstock.  The "lace doily" paper in the back was cut using the new Edge to Edge cartridge on my Cricut Expression 2.  I cut a circle in the center so it left me with just the outside piece.  I outlined all the papers with a Silver Paint Sharpie for added detail and stamped various "banner" stamps from Hero Arts in Silver Brilliance Ink for the banner at the top.  I finished the banner with some silver liquid pearls (LOVE this effect!!!).  I added flowers from Petaloo, Recollections, and Paperhouse Studios.  The chipboard title is by 7 Gypsies and was heat embossed with silver embossing powder, then also topped with liquid pearls in white.  The small wooden piece hidden in the flower cluster is Studio Calico.  

Well gang.... Thanks sooooo much for stopping in!!! Have a LUCKY day :-)
