Halloween Fun with Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying your long weekend.

Today I have another layout to share with you for Sparkle N Sprinkle

using some fun new Halloween Stamps.

I have very few Halloween photos of my little ones, so the ones I do have are so precious to me! They were 3 and 5 here. I have used the new Authentique papers for this layout and I love that little border of witches that I used right behind my photo!

For my title I have used Camera Life and heat embossed it with Concord Star.

I used the Witches Brew stamp set and the same EP for my sentiment. I used Clementine EP on the middle layer of my die cuts. To add a little sparkle to my border I used Purple Rain GL and 1/8" Tear-ific Tape. For the double layered hexagons, I applied 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape to my paper, punched it out, burnished with Cloud Nine GL, and adhered with foam tape.

For my border I did some punching, layering and sewing with my machine.

I used Flourishes 2 in the corner and heat embossed with Detail Black EP.  I added a spritz of silver spray ink.

Creative Costumes with Oly*Fun

Hi everyone! Today I have a fun project to share with you. 

I was given the opportunity to create with oly*fun from Fairfield World  and it is super easy

 to work with I must say! I have included some information on it at the bottom of my post, so be sure to check out all the fun things you can do with it!

Our theme is Creative Costumes so of course I wanted to make something cute for our new grand daughter. Did I mention how amazingly cute she is???

Anyway, when I saw the colors I thought of flowers, and my daughter wanted something with sun flowers. Since sweet Skylar is not big enough to actually Trick-or-Treat this year, she will just be hanging out looking cute in her costume.

I started with a cute onsie to match the theme. To make the ruffle of petals around the neck, I drew two petal patterns on paper and cut them out using Snow White and Lemondrop. I stitched two layers of Lemondrop petals on the neckline, overlapping the petals, then added the Snow White petals on top.  I added detail to the petals using my Tombow markers.

I used Fabri-Tac to adhere a cute brown ruffle ribbon from my stash, and sewed a trio of buttons on to complete the flower neckline.

For the stem, I folded Kiwi to form a three layer thickness and basted down each side. I folded in thirds again, and whip stitched the edge closed on the back side. I used a simple running stitch to attach it to the garment and added some fun ric-rak on top using Fabri-Tac. 
For the leaves I die cut the fabric using a Tim Holtz die. 

See, cuteness overload!
