Well, maybe not quite so creepy!  I received an awesome email from Echo Park Paper indicating cutting files from some of their fabulous kits were now available in SVG format at iDieCut.com.  Woohoo! As Nadya and I were browsing at iDieCut, she LOVED the spider web from Echo Park’s Happy Halloween line…so we decided to take advantage of this week’s 25% off coupon and spend some quality time creating while Daddy slaved away at work. With the help of my Make The Cut software we created this fun shaped card:  The web is cut from glitter DCWV cardstock and adhered to a grey shaped “shadow” layer card (love my Brother Backster for this one).  No web would be complete without a spider, so we searched through my cutting files and found “the perfect spider” (according to Nadya) i n my SVGShop folder.  I cut him out using Make The Cut as well – then added the “fuzz” – easily created with Heat N Stick Powder and black flocking. His eyes are red adhesive pearls. Nadya and I were both pleased with the results! While we’re one the subject of spiders, I’m proud to showcase one of Nadya’s creations using a Halloween Digi-Stamp from SuzyQScraps designs: Her medium of choice: Fiskars Gel Pens, so of course there is a lot more glitter, shimmer, and shine in person!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Hold on to your hats – I actually scrapped! Ok, now that the shock is over, here’s a peek at the mini album I put together of Nadya’s preschool Halloween party fun.  I’m only showing 3 of the 27 pages since the others features children that aren’t mine. I used Jessica Sprague’s Photoshop Friday #24 Spooks Mini Album templates paired withDesigns By Kristine’s October Afternoon digital kit to create this fun and gender neutral album.  I’ve already sent it off to be printed – each sheet has 3 mini album pages on it, so I’ll trim them and then bind it all together as a fun memento for her classroom.  Who knows – maybe I’ll even get an album of her Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat photos done – Daddy’s desk photos are in dire need of updating!

Have a fabulous evening!

Rounding out my last 2 October Doodle Pantry projects, I played with Laurie’s Birdie Bat and Birthday Birdie digital stamp sets. This cutie is colored using the Magic Pencils technique with Glossy Accents and Stickles for emphasis. DP, CS, and ribbon are from my stash.I used the Magic Pencils technique along with Stickles to color this precious birdie.  I added some eyelet ribbon and organdy flowers for a fun and feminine touch.  The stitching is courtesy of my purple Staedtler triplus fineliner pen. The CS is Bazzill embossed with an SU texture plate.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween.  Nadya enjoyed her weekend adventures with a Fall Festival on Friday and Trunk or Treat with her friend Abby on Saturday.  We will be “selling” her excess candy tomorrow at one of the local dental offices – they send the candy to our troops overseas and Nadya doesn’t make herself sick eating it – a win-win situation!

Have a fabulous week and for those in the US – don’t forget to VOTE on Tuesday if you haven’t already.
