Creative Team Members Mendy and Lisa Bell

We would like to welcome yet another Creative Team Member, Mendi Yoshikawa. I am so excited to share with you her talents. She used so many of Lori’s shapes on this one project, I had to have her give me a list.

Halloween Owl Pocket Card
Scallop Border in Baby Icon Set
Toxic Treat Labels for the Boo To You phrase

Haunted Mansion Pocket Card
Toxic Treat Labels for the Trick or Treat title

Mendi said ‘These fun pocket cards are perfect for sending personal messages to loved ones over Halloween. They would be so great to slip in a child’s lunchbox on Halloween day or to send to a grandparent as happy mail this month!” Mendi has some great projects and instructions on her blog, be sure to check it out here.

Today we have eye candy from 2 different designers. This last one is by me, Lisa Bell. I created this fun Halloween Banner last weekend to decorate my house. (I love that Mendi and I used some of the same Echo Park Happy Halloween papers.)  I  used every Halloween paper I had in my stash for this. Halloween papers tend to stay the same color schemes which is great when you can’t find the papers you want anymore.

I used the “Build A Banner Set” for the base and the “Vintage Font” for the title. Then decorated with bats from “Halloween Embellishments 1” and “Haunted House,” “Spider and Web” for the web and spider, and the skull and cross bones from “Halloween Embellishments 2.” I have more detailed pictures and instructions on my blog here so hop on over.

Thanks for sharing a moment with us while celebrating Halloween!

 

 

Creative Team Member Joy

Today for our Friday Feature I have 2 cute jack-o-lantern’s to share with you. Joy used the “Pumpkin Box” for her project. She says

“You can make the bag as big or small as you’d like.  I chose to make them tiny enough to hold a mini candy bar.  This project is perfect for making in multiples!  Think…the whole class or office.  You only need glue to add the pumpkin face, the whole bag is created with some very straightforward folding.  You’re going to LOVE this design! ”

Check out her blog for more info. I love that she did these tiny size.  Thanks Joy, these are adorable and perfect for a tiny treat.

 

Guest Designer Tamara Tripodi

October is upon us, can you believe it. Time seems to run quicker the older I get. I truly love the fall. In Utah we already have beautiful leaves changing on the mountains. It is a beautiful site, much like this project by our guess designer Tamara of Happy Wife Crafty Wife. I LOVE this project!

The Thankful title is Lori’s “3D Card Thankful” cut from Echo Park’s This and That Christmas, also designed by Lori. I love how she used it not just as a card, but turns it into a home decor project. What a great way to bring the season inside your home. She also cut the summer tree found in the “Camping Icons” set.

Look at the detail she has put into this card by adding the 4 Fall Leaves, Decorative Pumpkins and button to the bottom of this card. Such a great idea.

Thanks Tamara, this is a beautiful project!
