I loved having the chance to do a bit of scrapbooking today. I made a couple of quick layout using these new gorgeous Feels like Home papers, Cardstock in sugarplum, charcoal & fern, and the beautiful sugarplum shimmer pen... I love this pack and so many of the new stamps  Can't wait to play again with this beautiful paper!!

Had fun putting together this layout today. I used the thin-cut alphabet for my titles. I really like how the captions came out. I have a pile of thin off-cut strips from a card-making project which I saved for captions / journal strips. I used my corner rounder on them, and I think this is now my new favourite thing!!!

Even though Halloween is not huge in NZ, my kids like to dress up for it. My youngest has her birthday on Halloween as well, so we usually have themed parties to celebrate. I have started making layouts and treat boxes in the lead up to her birthday...EEK!! This one uses the nectarine cardstock on both the dark side (titles & witch hair) and light side (photo mats).

I am loving the new Candy Apple Stamp pad, & pairing it up with other colours. These two paper doll cards are a little Christmas flavoured. I used some of the smaller stamps from Septembers Stamp of the Month "Just Treats" to decorate the backgrounds & outfits, and the "Love with all the Trimmings" stamp set. I used the Shaker Window thin cuts to frame the sentiment on the first card.     I really like the Pebble background on this second card and the subtle stamping in the background. I added some sugarplum shimmer for a little shine     ...

Time for some Halloween cards. First off, for my little ghosty card I tried the wild backgrounds with Nectarine Stamp Pad on white daisy, then sponged to soften. This ghost stamp is so cute!! I also love the Fancy Tags dies, and the 'No Tricks just Treats" sentiment fit just perfectly. I really like the little candy corn stamp from this set too - I had to look up the right colours though because we can't buy that candy here in NZ  I decided to try other Halloween cards using the paper doll stamps & thin cuts along with some...
