Creepy Spider Coffins...all glitzed up..

Go HERE for the Chain Linky CLIMB 

I may just turn into Glitter today...LOL! Got an unexpected order for coffins for 
a wonderful young mans class party. I had been making some of these 
coffins (check this post out) for my little ghouls for this Thursday's festivities. 
A chat turned into an order. Thanks my friend. I so hope Chris enjoys giving out 
these treat boxes.  
In all, over the past few days I have made 55 coffins. It was so much fun and I 
had a learning light bulb in the Cricut Craft Room too. (I will share this a little 
later, after I have thoroughly tested it). 
Here's a few pics of my creations. Leave me a message if you would like more 
information on what I used and dimensions. Have a Happy Halloween and hope 
you have some crafty time to scrapbook those memories. 
See ya later folks. Got to clean up my mess and go on to the next project. 
Head on over to TOP TIP TUESDAY and check out the latest
challenge on Seasons. I have linked my post of our Halloween/Fall Season. 
Enjoy the many Tips I see and some I use too.



Have a great Halloween and Fall!!!

Actually got to create more this month. This weekend was an unexpected crafty adventure with a few friends. I decided to make treat boxes for the little goblins, ghost, and ghouls that will be ringing our door bell this Thursday night. We don't get as many as we used to but, I still plan for about 20. Here's just a few of the coffins for this year. Used my Artiste and the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge from Close To My Heart. Most of the Papers are from my Close To My Heart stash from a few years ago and then theirs left over papers from kits and other projects.
 (Love using up my left overs).
Here are a few of the Coffin Treat boxes.
As always, I seem to really like using my Glitter Glitz Gel from CTMH.
So easy to use on the tiny areas of my cut outs.

Here's the Layout I did using a mixture of scenes from the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge. This was fun putting it together. This is for Pumpkin carving pics from last year 2012. I know, I am so behind. That's the fun of it for me. Just picking what I want to scrapbook or feel I am in the mood for. No Chronological order. I'd never get it done if I tried to do it that way. Though I will say, I have most pictures in my sort/file system chronological and by event as well. Go Figure...LOL!


I shared this in my Scrapbooks layout Tab above right after I did it. I know not everyone explores the tabs. Thought I would post it here as well.

Then here are a few cards I did too.
 
All the cards are made with left over items from other projects.

Yes, I got busy. I was going to make three different posts, just not feeling into 
computer stuff lately.  Sorry for the long one.
Hope you enjoy. If you would like dimensions or more information on these projects, let me know in the comment section below. I do not mind sharing.
 


Here's a few pics from this years Pumpkin Carving and festivity's with Trevor.

Kristine Widtfeldt from Close To My Heart shared some awesome Halloween layouts using our Artbooking Cartridge.

Artbooking Made Easy ~ Halloween Mini Albums

Hello my fellow bloggers and crafters. 
Hope you are having a great start to your Fall Season. I can not believe we 
are into the first week of October already. Do not know where my 
September went but it was here and gone before I could blink. 
Since I have been super busy on the home front and trying to adjust to 
changes as well as maintaining my Lupus to some 
degree (not that I have any real control over it), I wanted to share 
this awesome video from Close To My Heart. 
I have been slowly putting some art work together for you but, they are 
still in pieces (to many other priorities...yuck....in the way).  Hopefully by 
next week I'll be caught up in most areas. I am sure many of the 
blogging community experiences lapses in posting...
...As I always say..."Life Happens"... 
..."If we didn't live life we wouldn't have anything to share, scrap, or 
create with or about."  
Until I post my creations, I hope you enjoy this video with Jill at 
Close To My Heart. Such awesome projects and great tips using 
our CTMH Cricut Artbooking Cartridge.

If you would like to get your Artbooking Cartridge Bundle at 1/2 price, 
contact me through my website at www.OhMyScraps.ctmh.com

I would love to help you achieve your memory keeping goals.
Thanks so much for dropping by. Do browse around to see what may inspire 
you to Tickle your CREATIVE  BONE!!
