Smile Kitty

Hi Crafty Friends,
Playing along with the Cat Lovers Blog Hop and Paper Smooches DT/Blog Inspiration Challenges! I was inspired by two cards from the Paper Smooches Blog for this card. Even though the DT used the Chickie, I used the Cat from the Chubby Chums set so that I could join the fun at the Cat Lovers Hop! The blog post is from April 22, 2011 HERE and then I used a photo from a DT below.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite kind of cat?
A: Me? I would say a Tabby Cat

Supplies:
Paw Ribbon
Paper Smooches Chubby Chums

Little Pumpkin Monsters

Hi Crafty Friends,
How about a Halloween Tag for all those SPECIAL treats you will be giving out to friends and family? The NEW October Mini Release from Your Next Stamp has the cutest critters and monsters that are perfect for tags and treats. I used this darling scallop die tag from Kat Scrappiness and colored my monsters to look like little pumpkins. Check out the my sister's little monster Thomas in a pumpkin below.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

A: Me? I make little dog treat bags for all the dog owners and their pups in my neighborhood.

Raccoon Hay Ride

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's NEW RELEASE time at Digi Doodle Studios and you are going to love all the gorgeous Fall and Christmas Digis. These darling raccoons in their red wagon playing in the leaves are just perfect for fall cards. It's called Raccoon Hay Ride. While I don't have any pictures of raccoons or me in a wagon, I think my dad looks like a raccoon sometime... HA! See below.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you like raccoons or are they a pain in the butt in your area?
A: Me? I think they are kinda cute, they never get into my garbage but they must be getting into someone's because they are HUGE here in Chicago.

My Dad, Totally looks like these raccoons in this pic right?!?!

Playing in the Leaves with Autumn Day

Hi Crafty Friends,
Is it Fall where you are yet? Here in Chicago the leaves are changing and I am LOVING it! It's my favorite time of year! Gorgeous colors everywhere! This darling lady from Digi Doodle Studios loves to play in the leaves just like me. I love this digi called Autumn Day, she is the perfect fall image. I am sharing my inspiration below (me and my twin playing in the leaves as kids).

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you like to play in the leaves? Did you when you were a kid? As an adult?
A: I haven't played in the leaves for years unless you count trail running in them! I think that counts

Help, were stuck!!!!

My Nephew, Thomas... raking them up to jump in!

Halloween Haunted House Shaker Kit

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you ready for Halloween? I made this fun shaker with the NEW Kat Scrappiness Shaker Kits. This is the House Kit. These make shakers SO EASY to create. Simply paint, color, decoupage the frame, or keep it plain. The kit comes with three pieces the base which is just the foam, the acetate sheet that fits perfectly on the foam, and the frame. All you need is sequins and glue! No need to fussy cut shapes or foam tape to bend around corners.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What are you being for Halloween?
A: Me and Maddie are going to be UNICORNS! But in the past we have been Thing 1 & Thing 2; Princess Leia and EWOK, and Cowgirls (see below).

 I created my background using the Kat Scrappiness Crafter's Essentials Fall dies.

 

I painted my house frame from the House Shaker Kit with acrylic paint and sealed it with ModPodge. I glued the foam down to the patterned dot paper and added the Hocus Pocus Halloween Sequin Mix.
