A Cherry on Top October blog hop

 


Hey friends!

Welcome of the A Cherry on Top October blog hop!
The design team have each created a pumpkin-themed layout to inspire your fall crafting today.

Here's the blog line up:

You can also find a process video on my YouTube Channel.

I went for a Halloween theme for my layout, and the terrifying GUTS of the pumpkin as my subject. LOL!



Aren't those Halloween Thickers from Pebbles the best?! They worked great in a snarky way for my "spooky" layout.

I created a large pumpkin shape on my cricut to use as a mask. I slightly adhered it to the middle of my white cardstock and chose 4 Halloween colors to splatter close to the masked edges.

Once removed, the pumpkin shape remains, outlined in splatters!


I chose some papers from my stash in the same 4 colors as my splatters and used them to back my two photos of my son being dramatic over pumpkin guts.


I also backed my white background with a black and white striped border from the Howl collection by Fancy Pants.


I used cardstock stickers from the Hey Pumpkin collection by Crate Paper. The enamel bits are from a Halloween button collection in my stash - I just snipped off the backs of the buttons to adhere them to my page.


OH the HORROR of those pumpkin guts! LOL!!!

These photos crack me up, but I was the exact same way when I was young.
I will definitely include that in the journaling.

Happy Halloween, Sistahs!

Happy Halloween all!

Today I'm bringing you another October Daily layout I created using this week's prompt from Lasting Memories to use squares!

I screen shot this meme a while back when people were doing the "3 fictional characters to describe me" because I thought it was hilarious, true, and perfect for my OD!


I've gotten some fantastic Halloween happy mail recently, and this lovely little tag was part of one I received.


I'm getting to the end of my Maggie Holmes gold letters (sad face) - that I was a J!


I also need any excuse to use the adorable wax seal I got at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, so that definitely made it into the layout too!


I planned a big Halloween party this past weekend at my church, and because of that planning, my October Daily had to take a back burner. Which honestly, will probably be the case with a lot of craftiness soon because I have a birthday party coming up then a Disney vacay! All fun things, but hinder the crafting. Sorry for the MIA blogging. Will be on as much as possible!

I hope you join us over at Lasting Memories for an all new challenge this week!

Have a spooky day!

Starting October Daily

Happy Friday, ghoulies!

Today I'm bringing you the very beginning of my October Daily album. I don't print photos at home, so I will be doing them in small batches and posting every few days.

I'm enjoying this project. My first few days were over a very busy weekend, so I have a LOT of photos for a few days, but it shouldn't be like that all the time.

Here's day 1 and 2!


I'm using a photo-a-day challenge with digital text, so I included that with a list of the monthly challenge. A while back I found these hard plastic smash book dividers at a discount store, so I cut one down (it was surprisingly easier than I thought!) and used it for my 5x7 photo. I put some trim on the divider tab with a few embellishments. These are the faces of pure joy after an amazing TN football win!


On the other side of the divider, I taped this Crate Paper glitter paper bag. I put a football and a banner on the outside. The inside contains an account of the amazing TN vs GA game from last weekend and our reactions to the Hail Mary victory! So fun.

Ha - Is is just me or do the rest of you have **tons** of pocket page cards and still end up making your own? On Saturdays we wear Orange - Mean Girls ref... and my two little Vols with their Kroger cookies samples. Good Saturday.


I used to LOVE playing with the LightBrite. My son found it at my parents' house & enjoyed it too. We celebrated the husband's and the bro's birthdays, and neither gave me a wonderful photo, so they get skulls!


On Saturday, we ended with the boys in the bounce house.

Day 2 - we had some family time & my cousin took these cute photos. I used a gold metallic glitter theme, and this might be my favorite page so far!


October is for BOOOOts (get it, the ghost?) and giving babies candy. I love a good, unplanned Sunday afternoon with my boys.


Our city does a fun thing where people paint rocks and hide them for kids to find. It's called Hendersonville Rocks. We found a strawberry rock at the local outdoor mall while we were strolling and riding trikes!

So far October is lovely. Looking forward to catching up on my days, and sharing more soon.

Thanks for looking!

Halloween Happy Mail

Hey everybody!

October is zooming by already. I love this month. Today's is husband's birthday, and our anniversary is coming up & so many fun, outdoor activities are planned - it's a good time!

I made a couple packages of happy mail recently, and it should have all been received today, so here we go!


I made a flip book for my friend Cheryl & filled it with things I hoped she could use for her October Daily.


I just adore this paper from My Mind's Eye! You'll see a lot of these little banners pop up in my October Daily too.



The Happy Haunting is just from the manufacture's strip at the bottom of the MME 12x12 paper. Also, I'm LOVING my new fuse tool!


I super love these little bags from Target. I cracked up, because when I received happy mail from Cheryl, she had sent me the same bag & straws too! We definitely have the same tastes!

I also created a pocket letter for a fun gal in the Hey Nae Daily group & I love how it turned out.


We have the recurring theme of the MME paper banner!


I'm also loving these Halloween stamps I got for basically a steal at the Studio Calico warehouse sale back in the spring.


Gotta love the Dollar Tree sequins & confetti. Another theme you'll see a lot in my OD.


Stay tuned for an October Daily update very soon! The first week will be up soon!

Thanks for looking - hope you got some spooky inspiration!

Sparkly projects

Hey hey hey!

Just popping in to bring you a couple of small projects I've been working on lately.

First up, I won the entire Urban Chic collection from the WeRMemory Keepers blog! It was so exciting!

I decided to share the love and create some mini pocket letters for a couple ladies in my Happy Mail group. It was my first mini PL, and it was so fun!


I hope they enjoy these little goodies!

Next up, I have created the cover and title page for my October Daily this year! I had a little bit of a hard time finding an appropriate 6x8 album, but I found this lovely Simple Stories Album on Amazon.


This crepe paper/tulle/glitter ribbon will be a recurring Halloween theme this year. I sewed the crepe paper to the tulle, then I sewed the glitter ribbon & then I hot glued the entire thing to the album.


I cut the numbers from cardstock and just mixed my own black and silver glitter mix & adhered it with hot glue! I will have to be sure to not pack it with my decor that is stored in a hot attic!

I also created my title page. It was a lovely surprise to find the inside of the album was black and white polka dot! I love it!


I can hardly bring myself to use this gorgeous MME paper! I kept it relatively simple so the paper's beauty will shine.


I also am so all about sequins lately, of course I have to have a sequin pocket on my title page. The pocket card is Becky Higgins - another Halloween collection I super love.


I found a super cute pack of Halloween buttons at Tuesday Morning, so that's where the spider & spider web came from in the shaker pocket.

I can't wait to fill up this little album with October fun and make it chunky chunky chunky!

Supplies:

Mini PL - all paper Urban Chic from WeRMemory Keepers

Halloween album - Simple Stories
Glitter Ribbon from Dollar General
Something Wicked paper - My Mind's Eye
Hocus Pocus Card - Becky Higgins Project Life
Shaker sequins & confette - Dollar Tree
