There is a new Prompt over at The Creative Type! Using Negative Space. Here was my take:
I created my own orange sparkle letters and made a spider's web out of Stickles with a rhinestone spider. Here's how:

I used Heidi Swapp "Center of Attention" letters in white. Then I dabbed orange acrylic pant on them (apply thickly to create texture).Once that dried, the applied Stickles "Orange Peel".For the Spider web, I used Stickles in "Diamond". It would also looked good using "Frosted Lace". Then I used a large colored rhinestone for the spider!

Thought I'd share on my blog my latest Halloween Decorations. The idea first came about when I found black vintage metal cupcakes holders at a garage sale. It was in the summer, but I figured I would use them for something! I purchased vintage images from Etsy and orange shred and put it all together!

New Prompt is up and running at The Creative Type! Yippee! Love that this makes me get back into being creative with scrapping and pushing myself to try new things!

Prompt #20 is masking so here I used a black pencil and some mismatched old letter stickers. I would suggest when using letter stickers that you "unstick" them a little by pressing the stick side down on your pant leg or a paper towel so it picks up some of the lint and won't be too hard to remove later. I just scribbled all over the title with a black pencil, took off the letter and voila!

So happy to wake up today to an email from my friend Suzanne: "Your tennis booties are featured in an Etsy Storque article." Yippee! They are actually booties that I had made for her new little baby Zoe. Now she has famous footwear!

Haven't posted for a while but with it being the summer time seems to fly. I thought I would share some party ideas. This is a momento book I recently made for a couple's baby shower. I have made this before in the past and it seems to be a nice thing to add to any shower. Basically guests can write out advice, a prayer or a welcome and then place the card in the album. The parents get to take whole an album full of well wishes and advice they can read for years to come. The album is from 7 gypsies and the letters I used for "Micah" is from American Crafts. "Blessings for" are also from American Crafts and it is from their Remark rub ons line.

I also picked up a red wire basket for quests to put their cards in at the $1.00 store. I was hoping for a Martha Stewart-esque look with the ribbon and the tag for cards. Simple and sweet!

Here are some pictures from the 4th! We hung out at Matt's cousin's house. The older kids look like Sparkler Ninjas and I love that little Kate wants to get right in with the big kids and play Xbox!

This kid with these kids are at Hume Lake Camp this week. And YES I am being one of those Moms that is missing him and it is too quiet around when normally all I crave is a quiet home with no yelling, whining and arguing. Go figure!

So to send him off, he needed a wallet. I have no idea where his wallet went, so I decided to make him a duct tape wallet. Super easy and fun to make! Instructions can be found here!

I also made this

for my cousin in law's birthday. It is from Sweetwater Scrapping and I just found out they have the cutest blog. Lots of good ideas an eye candy on there! Check it out!
