Creative Team Members Christine and Corri

Are you ready for more? I love love LOVE my job. One of the perks is seeing all the wonderful projects from our Creative Team. I have even more amazing projects to share today. They never cease to amaze.

First I have Christine. She has created the cutest wall hanging. She used the “Scalloped Squares” for the background then layered all the elements to it. I have always wanted to try making a ‘plaque’ with that shape, but haven’t found the time. Great idea Christine 😉 The spooky title, cat and house, come from the “4 Halloween Titles,” with the web from the “Spider and Web Set” and spider from the “Witch Icons”

Christine said “I love making my own home decor for the holidays.  This wall hanging will be great for my entrance way.  I’ll probably string some fake webbing around it and cut out some vinyl bats to adhere to the walls around it.  What fun it will be when my neighbors come over to trick or treat.”

I love how she used the glitter paper for some of her embellishments. So cute Christine. You can see more details and pictures on her blog here.

 

Next I have a project by Corri for you. I cannot get enough out of the Halloween projects from our talented team.

Corri used the “Boo Banner,” “Build A Rosette 1.5,” “Build A Rosette 2,” and “Build A Rosette 3.” I have to admit when I first saw the “Build A Rosette” files, I was confused until I saw Corri’s last project. Here are all 3 shown in the same photo so you can see the difference in sizes.

Ladies, thank you for your fabulous work, these projects are stunning. Love love love all the projects!

Creative Team Member Natalie

I love Creative Team days. They always have such fun ideas. We truly have the best team.

Natalie surprised us with this cute box she created. She used the “Witch Hat Window Box” then added a cute tag from the “6 Labels.”

Natalie says “The other day, I was at the grocery store, searching for a treat for my little scout group, and I ran across Hostess Ding Dongs…. First let me tell you I have a secret obsession with Hostess, maybe because I had a three year drought while we were in Canada, because ever since we came back, there has been plenty of zingers, donuts, fruit pies, you name it, we have tried it.  So I giggled a little the other day when I came across the Ding Dongs knowing we haven’t tried them yet, mainly since I don’t really love chocolate cake, my kids do, I could pass on the calories.  But when I saw them, immediately I had the phrase, Ding Dong the witch is dead come to mind.  Crazy how craft projects come to mind in the oddest places. I bought them, and as soon as I came home from the grocery store, I ran to the computer to see if Lori had a cute box, or bag, or something that I could put these little babies inside.  And sure enough she did.  So now the hardest part is to figure out who to give them too….(and hope I don’t offend them…hee hee)”

Great Job Natalie! Love it!

New in Shop TODAY

I am so excited to share so many new shapes with you today. I love the fun new Halloween shapes and banners as well as the boxes, have you seen them? I want a bowl full of paper pumpkins and acorns sitting on my table. Enjoy the last little bit of October with these paper crafts because Christmas SVG’s are coming.

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!
