Try It Tuesday~ trying to get my spooky on !!!

Hi guys~
I have done three Halloween layouts and I'm trying really hard to be spooky but adorable and funny are more my style.  I'll show you what I mean:):):)

I did this one for Clear Scraps. The pumpkins,lamp post, hand and crow are cut out of acrylic, using a die-cut machine. The paper is by S.E.I. The little girl is what makes it adorable:):)

This a great example of funny.  My hubby told lets go for a ride, I want to show you something.  He never said a word and then I saw it.  Made him turn around so I could get a better shot of it. So fun!!!! The paper is by The Paper Studio, 7gypsies  and American Crafts.

This one is my challenge layout with Bo Bunny for September.  All products are by Bo Bunny.
Another example of funny!!!!

I'm linking these spooky creations up over at Paper Issues ~ you can too!!!

A quick one~ using the Eclectic Butterly stamp!

Hi!! Connie here with a quick scrapbooking layout using the Eclectic Stamp {butterfly} by Darkroom Door.
I stamped the Butterfly on (misted) white cardstock, using black ink by Ranger and then cut it out. Repeated that  process several times:)
 
After I photographed this, I thought ~ I should have stamped some butterflies on the striped background paper, so I did.  I like it much better!!!!
 
 I used the color"watering can" by Ranger {Wendy Vecchi}!!
Love the color and the stamp looks and stamps beautifully!!!


Thanks for stopping by~

I love this old mirror~I'm going to hang it upside down, so "o" ring will be on the bottom, right next to my JBS hotel key board in my bathroom.  It is really fabulous. Picture does not do it justice.  It was $4.  The cool hook was free.

Collins Group with Craft Crossing~

Hi guys~
I'm back from the Collins Rep Group Convention ( retail stores) in Houston.  I had a wonderful time and took lots of classes. I  did three scrapbooking layouts, a bunch of cards, decor piece and a "big" surprise.

These are some of the make n' takes I did. The manufactures represented here are Canvas Corp, Hero Arts, Maya Road, Elizabeth Crafts, Copic, Petaloo Flowers  and Graphic45.
I also did a Bo Bunny layout (forgot to take a picture).

Don't you love the flower pin.?  It was white and we misted it~
The card is with Copic. It was air brushed with the re-fill ink:):)

 The Christmas tree card is with Elizabeth Crafts. Her glitter is just the best.  Stays on the card not your hands:)  The card in the back with the Star cookie cutter is Maya Road.  I took a class with them and learned way cool trim techniques. 

The card in the middle is with Graphic45. It is using their big tag.  It is beautiful.
I have already thought of several things I should have taken pictures of so I'll do another post on this soon. and a BIG thank you to Pam at Craft Crossing for letting me tag along:)

**************************************************
Missed you guys, but had lots of fun (if you call getting your leg caught in the table cloth and twisting your knee) :):) and learned even more!!!
This Friday is~
so be ready!
 
see ya soon~
