Creating with Cuttlebug

Hey everyone!  Roree here, and today I have a Halloween project that I created for the Pink Paislee blog to share with you using the Cuttlebug.  I’ve created some Halloween Treat Bags.

I found the black bags at the craft store.  I cut about an 1 1/2″ off the top of each of the bags with pinking shears, so they fit into my Cuttlebug embossing folders.  I embossed them, then I added stickers, brads, chipboard letters, and paper from the Phantom collection to decorate them.

(Skeleton Scroll embossing folder)

(Mini Monsters embossing folder set)

(Diamonds in the Rough embossing folder)

Check here for a list of supplies used.

I finished the bags off by adding some shredded paper and candy.  It is a quick and easy way to dress up your Halloween treats.

That's it for me today.  I hope you are having a good one.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

OA Un-Banner Challenge

Hey everyone!  Yesterday on the October Afternoon blog, Vivian Masket posted a fun "Un-Banner" challenge.  The challenge is to use a banner, but in an unexpected way.  I played along with her challenge, and this is what I came up with:

It is a small gift bag, perfect for child (or even an adult ;) ).  I used the banner pieces from the Sidewalks Chip 'n Stick set as teeth for a fun, monster kind-of face. 

He's a funny looking little guy, isn't he?! 

I finished it off with products from the Sidewalks and Boarding Pass collections.

You can head on over to the blog here to see what Vivian came up with for the challenge.  And if you decide to take on the challenge yourself, be sure to link you project up in the October Afternoon Flickr Gallery so we can all see what you came up with.  

That's it for me today.  I hope you have a great day, and thanks so much for stopping by!

Pink Paislee Hot Hues Color Challenge

Hey everyone!  Thought I would stop by to share a layout I made for the Pink Paislee blog.  I got to work with this month's Hot Hues Color Challenge.  Here it is:

Aren't the colors wonderful?!  They  work perfectly with the Vintage Vogue collection, which I used on my layout.

 I was very inspired by the layout of the challenge photo and decided to base my layout around that design. 

In place of the Hot Hues photos, I put some Ephemera and Chipboard Pops along with my photo.

Then new Spool Buttons reminded my of the color swatch down the side of the Hot Hues photo, and that is how I used them.

And I finished off the layout with the Wood Shop Wood Chip alphas for my title.

If you get a chance to play along with this month's Hot Hues Challenge, don't forget to post it in the Live Pink Gallery so we can all see your creations.

Hope you have a wonderful day.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
