Halloween Layout

Howdy Peeps!

Welcome back! Today I have my last project for the week. In addition to the cards, I also made this layout using the "Black Widow" collection by We R Memory Keepers.

The picture in this layout has special meaning to me. It was taken at a Trunk-or-Treat event held at the school I was working at the time. These two little girls really thought I was Sonw White. They asked their mom, "How did she get here from Disneyland? Doesn't she have to go back?" They were SO excited to get to meet a "real" princess that it really touched my heart.

I had some leftover hexagons from the card I shared earlier this week so I featured some on this layout. The doily was punched from the mini Lucky 8 punch sold at Pages. I used a small corner that is hidden behind the layering on a different card that I shared yesterday! No wasted paper in this craft room!

Thanks for checking out my projects this week! As always, they are on display at Pages From the Heart.

XOXO,

Witchy Halloween Cards

Hello Peeps!

Becky again with two more Halloween cards using the "Black Widow" collection by We R Memory Keepers. This line is now in stock at Pages From the Heart.

Coming up with a sentiment with the word "witchy" in it was a little tricky but I think "Witchy Wishes" works well! The spider and sentiment are both a part of the "Witchy" stamp set. I embossed both of them with clear embossing powder for a different effect. 

The witches hat came from the same "Witchy" stamp set I used in the previous card. I added orange Stickles in between the stripes because one can never have enough sparkle! The doily was cut using the new mini Lucky 8 punch by We R. These are in stock at the store and very easy to use!

I'll be back later this week with a Halloween layout with a sweet story. Thanks for reading!

XOXO,
Becky

Spooky Halloween Cards

Hi there Peeps!

Becky here and this week I will be sharing some Halloween projects I have been working on. This month I worked with the new "Black Widow" collection by We R Memory Keepers. It is now in stock at Pages From the Heart so come on in and check it out!

Today I have two cards that I made.

This card is a homage to one of my favorite movies ever, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." I have watched this movie every Halloween for as far back as I can remember. I used a hexagon punch to punch out the shapes (although this would work well with any small, repeating shape). I pieced the pumpkin together by cutting three ovals and popping the middle oval up with foam squares. The orange letters are a new item at Pages From the Heart from Doodlebug.

For the second card, I used one of the large tags that are a part of the collection along with some scalloped squares. I used the Sew Ribbon tool by We R to add some sparkly ribbon. This tool can be found in the store.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow more!

XOXO,
Becky

Back to School: Rolodex Mini-Album

Hello Peeps!

Today I am sharing my last back to school project. My last two projects were both gifts that would be great for a teacher at any point in the year. Today I have a mini-album for parents to share pictures of their student through the years.

I started with a Rolodex. I have heard these can be found regularly at thrift stores but after months of searching, I finally broke down and bought one at an office supply store.

Supply List:
Authentique "Curiosity" - Studious, Learning, and Desire papers
Authentique "Curiosity" - Details and Elements stickers
Coordinating blue and yellow cardstock
Tab punch
Rolodex

I created one tab for each grade level. Since my inspiration for this project has just started preschool, I made blank tabs so that his mom can add pictures as he goes through school. I also left the backs blank so that she can add her own journaling.

Thanks for checking out my projects this week. As always you can see them in person at Pages From the Heart.

XOXO,
Becky

Back to School: Altered Paint Can for the Teacher

Welcome back Peeps!

It's back-to-school week here on the Pages blog and I am back with another project. This time it is an altered paint can that would make a great gift holder for your favorite teacher.

Supply List:
Authentique "Curiosity" - Interested, Studious, and Determined papers
Authentique "Curiosity" - Details stickers
Twine
Clothespin
Blue and white cardstock
Coordinating ribbon

You can find these cute plastic buckets at Pages in different sizes. The key to adhering paper to the bucket is using a strong, clear glue like Scrappy Glue.

Thanks for reading! I'll be back tomorrow with one more school project. This time it's a gift for parents!

XOXO,
Becky

Back to School: Post-It Holder

Hi Peeps! Welcome back...to school! This week I will be sharing some back to school inspired projects using Authentique's new "Curiosity" collection.

Supply List:
Authentique "Curiosity" - Studious and Learning paper, Details and Elements stickers
Safety pin
White tulle
Post-Its

I'll be back tomorrow with another gift for your favorite teacher!

"What's Up" from Basic Grey

Hi....this is Debbie.  I made a card and gift bag for my friend Tina and then got carried away with the scraps! I made six cards and a gift bag out of four sheets of the "What's Up" collection by Basic Grey. The banners with the pennants, letters and cute little birds are easily hand-cut to become an embellishment. Or even easier, just mat and layer! "What's Up" is in stock at Pages From the Heart and several of these cards are on display at the store.
