Boo To You...Blog Hop

Jearise from Lorby's World is our hostess for this hop 

so please make sure you start with her blog 

where she has some treats but no tricks for this Boo to You hop.

Trick or Treat. 

Smell my feet. 

Give me something good to eat...

Tonight we celebrate Halloween with porch lights on and ghost and goblins who come a knockin'.

This hop is to celebrate all that is fun and scary come Halloween night 

so join our crafters who have conjured up some Halloween fright or laughter as it well may be. 

Here is your broom for the ride through this hop....

These are some goodies I have prepared for my little Trick or Treaters tonight...

 This darling little Calderon is from a SVGCuts collection from last year... Party on Elm Street

Each of the candies are decorated...the suckers have googly eyes...

the candy bars have wrappers...

oh, how fun this was to take to work and show off...but they ate most of it...so I had to make more...

I love the added ribbon from Stampin' Up and the Epiphany embellishment with the spider,

oh how I hate spiders...

This next project is a wall hanging I put together...

I had every intention in hanging it in my entryway ..but it never made it there...lol...

so I will share it with you all...

I used a bunch of files to put the little witch together... if you look you can see a witches hat a the top and her legs hanging out the bottom... I have some of my very own original files along with some SVGcuts files and Silhouette America online store files...

This was a fun wall hanging to put together... the picture does it NO justice...

Thank you for ringing my doorbell and now continue to CallyAnn's blog. 
 If you stumbled upon my blog tonight and wish to begin the hop…start with Lorby’s World

Should you get lost out there…here is a list of the hop…so sit back and check out the Tricks or Treats we have for you...

OMG!!! look how cute this is...

if I can say so myself...lol

I used this digi file from MyGrafico

by Revidevi

Smiley Trains

I used the print and cut feature on my Cameo

to print these cute little trains ... then put them on my cutting mat

and the Cameo did all the hard work...

I can totally see a birthday party with all the kids having their

very own cup...and what a savings for mom...not using a bunch of cups...

then toss them when done...or even send them home with a goodie bag...

oh wow, the possibilities are endless...

maybe I should have made a goodie bag too...oh well

the cups and the gift bag...

oh yeah the gift bag...

it too was printed on my printer then cut with the Cameo...

I love how you can take just about any digi image and make an .svg

to cut with the designer edition of the Silhouette America...

here are some more pictures of the cute cups...

Now it's your turn to make something cool..

to get this? whatever the present might be its a gift in itself...

So I attached a red 12 x 12 patterned paper for the base

The Wild West

by Mel's Brushes

 This is a fun western set, you can use them as a brush in your Photoshop or like program...

or use them  as a vector EPS, PNG or JPEG (like I did)

I pulled the image onto my Silhouette America Designer Edition virtual mat and used my Cameo

to cut the star. I first traced the image then pulled it from the original art.

Then cut the image... Easy Peasy !!!!

I used the rosette file by Lori Whitlock to make the cute backing to the star...

put it together on a Lori Whitlock self closing box...

so cute !!!

Hey Friends of Speedy TV...

Let's Distress...

heehee

Distressing is our challenge this week

over at Friends of Speedy TV Challenge 41

So I had so much fun distressing this map
I first stamped the image on to some vellum
then took a lighter, yeah I thought I might set the house on fire with this one...
but I did not...heehee...good thing huh...ROFL...

you can see that I took the lighter underneath the vellum and burned
other areas to give it more of the distressed image...
I then crumbled it up in a ball then laid it out flat.
I used Xyron to adhere it to the card base
that was also distressed with a distressing tool and some
ink to the edges...
I cut the compass with my Cameo
oh and stamped the ship on vellum too then fussy cut it...
a few stamps from the same stamp collection

'Buried Treasure'

and here I have another
Distressed card...

I used core'dinations card stock and an embossing folder
sanded and rolled up the corner...
added a little stamp and a die cut spider
oh how I hate spiders...lol...

Now it's your turn to win this...

Come join us

OMG! have some exciting news...

Oh yeah doing the happy dance here

I am the newest addition to the

Tutorial Time on Speedy TV 

of Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co 

design team 

Now how exciting is that...

oh yeah baby...

so this week is my 1st project I made for  this team...

here's the scoop...

a design team member does a tutorial

then you have 1 week to make and post/link

 your project that you made using that tutorial...

So this weeks tutorial is by Pam Stang

on Distressing

she shows you have to do different things to 'distress' your project...

from inking the edges to tearing off a corner...

Now is my turn to show you what I did with this tutorial...

I used the new stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co.

Holly Jolly Greeting Stamp Set 

I used ink to change the color of the designer paper, 

I did not like the white in the paper and I wanted it to look vintage...

so then I inked the edges and then took the distressing tool to the edges...

added some ribbon from the stash...

there you have it...

My 'Distressed' creation...

Be sure to check out the other 

wonderful design team members for inspiration on...

split letter for the 'W' with my Cameo then added the frame from

'My Whimsy Frame'

set at the MyGrafico Shop

Cut the vinyl with the desired design with my Cameo

I used the Silhouette America Designer Edition to design my project...

added it to my very plain wedding album ( yep a 3 ring binder) ...

I was so .... empty before

Now it looks great... 

I just love how it turned out...

photoed with it are some pages from the inside ...

Happy Craft'n everyone...
