I took my inspiration from those cute Halloween signs -the Witch is in/out. I thought those were really fun and thought this would be a GREAT thing for the Christmas holiday. 

Cartridges used:
Teddy Bears on Parade - Elf Bear cut at 8" w/ layers
Arts Philosophy  - Base square cut at fit to page (11"), the little tag square is cut at 4"
Arts Philosophy - Banner cut at 1"
Sophisticated - Letters - small - 3/4", 1", and the sign letters cut at 3"

I added a little wire to the "shop" banner and curled the edges.

Paper is from SEI Glitzmas line -

What would a blog hop be without some blog candy. I will be giving away 2 prize packs. I will be drawing 2  winners on Tuesday 11/13 - via Random.org.

 

Hope you enjoy and

Happy Scrappin'

For this blog hop
I made 2 card  the first one I used this  cute cartridge Teddy Bear Parade.
Witch Bear Card:
Witch Bear A2 card
The card is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4"
Cartridge:
Teddy Bear Parade
Bear cut at 3" w/ all layers
I added a little 1/4" banner to add the sticker to a few pop dots on the bear and banner.

The second card is is also a witch but a cute/sweet witch.

The stamp set is from Inky Antics called Halloween Witch Honey Pop. This is a stamp that you are suppose to use on the inside of a card w/ the special Honey Pop paper, however, I just wanted it to be on the outside. That is the great part with Inky Antic stamp sets. I colored this witch with my Spectrum Noir Markers and added a some detail w/ my glitter pen.

The card base is DCWV - cards
The paper for both cards is also from DCWV - I used my favorite Halloween pack Bewitched. I seriously might just run out of DCWV Bewitched paper. I love the bright pinks, purple, and traditional orange black.
The Happy Halloween, Get Candy, and the three little banners are  from SRM sticker borders.

The gems are from Queen and Company.

What would a blog hop be with out blog candy???

Well up for grabs will be this Cute Halloween stamp set, a set of Halloween glitters and this little pumpkin stamp.
 Just leave a comment by Wednesday 10/24 and I will draw a random winner on 10/25. Winner will have 1 week to email me back to claim the prize.

Hope you enjoy and
Happy Scrappin'

Halloween Goody bags

This weeks challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps is to make any project with PKS stamps. I love the Cricut Teddy Bear Parade - I think it layers nicely and you can cut a little smaller items and still make it look nice.

Since my daughter is in preschool and only has 10 total kids in the class I figured I'd make a cute little "treat" bag this year. I knew I wanted to use the PKS faces and the Teddy bear cartridge but picking just 1 of the bears was hard. She has 9 girls in her class and 1 boy. So I didn't totally want to make it all girly.

I picked up some cute little Halloween goodies - (since kids get way!!!! too much candy at Halloween I wanted something else). I found these little disc, stamps, and a puzzle and thought it would be perfect for this.

I cut the cute little bears at 2.10 " using my gypsy I hid all the lines and then stamped the cute little PKS face on them. I did the layers for the pumpkin outfit.

I added them to a top note template I made a while back for the tops of such treat bags. The bags are 4x6 and work perfectly for these.
Since there is a boy I didn't want all pink either so I used the green card stock from DCWV Bewitched mat stacks. The orange/green paper is from Michael's.

Hope you enjoy  and
