Digital Delights by Louby Loo Design Team Project

 
Happy Fall Y'all!
 
I am showcasing the "Fall Fun" paper piecing file
from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.
 
All of her paper piecings come together so nicely
 with no rough edges and her files also come with layers for on top of the layers.
Awesome feature ** two thumbs up**.
 
 
 
I used Night and Fall by Recollections for my scrapbook papers.




 
I have seen quite a few layouts on Pinterest and Facebook with twine
around the photo mats, so I added that to this layout it seemed like it was
missing something and it really is a nice touch.



 
You can find the file that I used HERE, if your interested.
 
 

Thank you all for stopping by today, and please feel free to leave a comment
and if you have a question please just ask!
 
Happy Scrappin'

Center-Step Card Blog Hop

 
Good Morning! Today I am in a "Center-Step Card" Blog Hop hosted by Ashley 'GlamourssideofScrappin' Townsend! The hop will start with her, HERE.
 
 
The Center-Step card is a elegant way to dress up any card and you really don't see them that often so this is the perfect time to start making them for the upcoming holidays. The best news is that they are very easy to make, if you have a Silhouette machine leave me a comment with your email address letting me know your interested in the file and I will send you the template so you can start making your own!
 
If you don't own a Silhouette (Cameo or SD), you can find the tutorial HERE.  
 
To make my card I used a few stickers from the "Echo Park: Winter Park" Collection,
cut out some snowflakes added stickles to them and the snow.
 
Very simple and still looks elegant.
 

 
The sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps "Snow Day"

 Stickles added to the snow bank, I used Baby Blue for the top
and Frosted Lace for the rest of the bank.

Designs on Cloud 9 Sketch Challenge

 
 
Good Afternoon! I posted this on my Facebook page: Creative Cricut Designs, but forgot to post to my blog. Designs on Cloud 9 is having a sketch challenge until September 29, 2012. It has been awhile since I have been able to join in on paper piecing challenges, so this is the first one and I think it turned out pretty good. 

 
For my layout I used the Freebie:
Flying Witch that you can grab HERE.
For her face I used Peachy Keen Stamps: PK-293 The Cornies
The title is cut from the Silhouette Studio (Cameo)
Film Strip is also from the Silhouette Studio
The end caps and cat are chipboard cut outs from the Paper Studio
 
-------------------------------------------------
 
This is the sketch that you need to follow, but remember,
you can switch it up a bit as long as you stick to the elements.
 
 
Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to check the right side of your screen to see what blog hops I have coming up.

The Crazy Dog & Cupcake Blog Hop

Welcome to our Crazy Dog and Cupcake Blog Hop! 
 
What started out as a random idea for a blog hop turned into a funny theme! We threw out some ideas on different "odd observances" in the up coming months ~ one being National Dog Day and the other Cupcake Day ~ everyone seemed to like these two themes so we put it to a vote! Who would have thought it would have turned into a tie?! So we voted once more ~ thanks to Pamela's creative thinking, she put the two together. What could be more fun than working with dogs and cupcakes! So sit back and enjoy the fun and creative projects the group has put together for you today!
 
No blog hop would be complete without some fun blog candy to win! Today we have a very gracious sponsor ~ KaDoodle Bug Designs is giving one lucky winner $15 in free files!  All you have to do to win the prize is:
 
1.  Comment on each stop along the way
