Halloween Blog Hop!

Hi! Welcome to my stop on the Trick or Treat Blog Hop! I am very eager to share with you some cards that I have made just for this special occasion!

First, if you haven't come from Kathy's Blog then go there and start the short little hop from there. :)

Ok. Now to my favorite part- the sharing part!! I absolutely love to make cards, and I happened to have some My Mind's Eye "Blackbird" (MME's Halloween line from last year)paper, diecuts, and brads. I knew they'd be perfect for cards. Plus I had recently won some Halloween pun stamps from Joy's Life that I just *had* to use! The funny thing is, we really don't do that much for Halloween, although last year all of us kids went trick or treating! :P It was funny... all 4 of us running (yes, RUNNING!) from one house to the next. We got candy though, and that's all that mattered to us! :)

I got a little carried away and made 7 cards total, but it was SO much fun! I challenged myself to use just the MME supplies plus some twine and Stickles, and I found out that product challenges aren't really that bad!(Click on this picture to see the cards better.)

Close-ups of cards:

So... which one is your favorite? Leave me a comment and tell me which one you like best and I'll pick one lucky winner to receive a scccaaaarrryyy prize of Karen Foster stamps and some Basic Grey bling (ok, it's not that scary)! All comments need to be received by midnight October 31st. Be sure to check back and see if you won! :)

Oh-- and of course I'd LOVE for you to follow my blog! I try to post pretty-sorta-regularly so I'd love for you to pop in and see what I'm up to!

Now go trick or treating to Andrea's blog and hopefully you won't get *too* spooked! :)

Leafing Memories Behind Blog Hop!

Woo hoo! It's time for another fantastic blog hop! :)

First of all, if you didn't come from Steffanie's Blog, then go back to Amanda's Blog and begin the hopping there. If you get lost along the way, just hop on back to Amanda's Blog! :)

Now, let's get started with the fun stuff!

Here's my layout I made for the hop this time. We were challenged to use pictures with LEAVES in them, and I immediately thought of these pictures! They are from 1997 (I was 3 back then!) and my mom had apparently gotten some camera film that was black and white! I loved the softness of these pictures. My mom was nice enough to let me scrapbook the ORIGINAL pictures! Thanks, Mom!

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket "Nutmeg" line

Solid Cream Cardstock: Michael's

Brown Cardstock (title): Bazzill

Stickers: Cosmo Cricket, Jolee's

Buttons: Basic Grey, American Crafts

Twine: The Twinery

Cricut Cartridge (title): Printing Press

Glossy Accents (for title)

Pen: Zig

Other: Eyelets, corner rounder, thread

And now for the even FUNNER (is that a word??) part! I'm doing a giveaway of 17 scrappy items since this past Tuesday was my 17th birthday! :) All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post. If you like my blog, you are always welcome to follow me, but following isn't required to be eligible to win the prize.

Now that you've left me a comment (wink, wink), hope on over to Mandi's Blog and see what she has to show you!

Auntie Em, please email me at limegreen(dot)flower(at)juno(dot)com! Thanks everyone for the nice comments and thanks for the ones who became new followers of my blog!

Welcome to the Sketch Blog Hop!

Woo hoo! Welcome to my stop on the blog hop! If you haven't come here from Shanon's blog, then go back to Amanda's blog and start hoppin' from there.

Ok- now that we've gotten that part out of the way, I get to show you my layout I made from Amanda's awesome sketch! My little sister, Laura, and I love to dress up, and we hadn't done it for a while so we did it and had a little mini photo shoot. You can totally tell Laura is more photogenic than me! Haha! (Well, I think she is anyway...) Laura's the one with the pink flowers.

For this layout, I just got some papers that I thought coordinated together, and used them! I rarely do that, so I'm very proud of myself for stretching my creativity and NOT being OCD about all the papers matching "exact!" :D Enjoy my page--

Supplies: Patterned Paper: American Crafts, Teresa Collins, Cosmo Cricket, My Mind's Eye; Mist: Tattered Angels; Letter Stickers: BoBunny; Pen: American Crafts; Other: pom pom trim, flowers, brad

And of course, this wouldn't be complete without a giveaway! I have a special CK magazine, 2 sets of AWESOME American Crafts Thickers (one chipboard, the other foam) and then a Cosmo Cricket Blackboard album. All you have to do is leave a comment and for an extra entry, become a follower of my blog! If you are already a follower, leave a comment telling me that too! :) I will draw a winner on Sunday morning August 21, 2011 and post the winner here.

And now you need to head on to Mandi's blog! I'm sure she has some awesomeness ready to show you!
