Scraptacular Guest Designer Creations

I am so excited to be chosen to be a guest designer for Scraptacular for the month of October. It is this wonderful store in Douglasville, PA. Beth is super, the store is wonderful, & the forums are "the" place to be. Lots of challenges & chats, & give aways. If you are in PA, stop by for cropping time or classes, or just to shop. If you are outside of PA, go online & check out her yummy products!!

I have to admit that I have never scrapped anything for Halloween before. Fall, yes, but never Halloween. So, with this SPECTACULAR October kit, a fire was lit under me, & I finally did some Halloween los. Here is what I did with this fabulous kit.






I feel I need to explain this next one. We had this humongous! spider (I'd say a good 5-6") on our deck last year. She was gorgeous. My dh, being the city boy he is, wouldn't go near it, & couldn't understand my fascination with it. (My father had always had us out in creeks & fishing, & in nature. That still runs in me to this day!) I was getting as close as I could to it, & was watching her daily. When you got to close, or she got scared, she would shake up & down so fast on her web! My oldest daughter, who was 3 at the time, had seen Charlotte's Web a few weeks before having this spider, so of course she named her Charlotte. One day the spider laid eggs, then shortly there after, she was gone. Of course I took pics (again dh thought I was crazy).




I wanted to do something to portray the beautiful web that she wove. I came up with this idea using just white thread. I cut slits all around the mat & then "wove my web".



I did a little webbing around the letters too.



So, those were my creations as Guest Designer for Scraptacular. I hope you enjoy them, & I hope to design again for her in the future!

Red Carpet Studio ABC Random Blog Hop

Welcome to the ABC Ransom Blog Hop,  hosted by  Red Carpet Studio !   If you've come from Stephanie J's  blog, you're in the right place. The Red Carpet Studio designers thought it would be fun to host a mystery blog hop while showcasing projects that can be made using all those leftover letters in your stash - hence where the "ransom" comes in. Ransom notes play a huge role in mystery/suspense films, and are often created out of random letters cut from magazines, newspapers, etc. in order to disguise handwriting.  While we won't be doing any kidnapping or holding anybody ransom today - we do have some creative projects to share with you! For my project using leftover letters in my stash, I created...   I used letters from a leftover Thickers pack, & used them to frame around the girls picture. I just randomly placed them to form the frame.  I used Basic Grey paper, & embellishments, & some random buttons & o
