Treasure Each and Every Moment!

Scrapping all the fun moments of the great things

in our kids life is probably the most fun thing we could

do both for us and for them to see in the future.

It's all the little things,
the funny and crazy things

that make us laugh and remember all the fun!!

So..dont' forget to get out your camera and take lots

of photos this Fall & Halloween

and get them in books to remember forever!!

designer: Ann-Katrin
supplies: GP448, 450, ESG 007, GP445

designer: Petra Offrell

We love Petra's style of scrapbooking with lots of
overlays and misting, butterflies,
and handmade flowers.
The picture of her daughter and
her cute painted face of a leopard looks perfect
with all the gorgeous colors around it.
It's so, so cute!!

supplies: BGP 202, 222, 211, 220, 213, 206,

GP 454, 452, 455, ESG 003

designer: Julie Walton

This layout uses alot of Glitter cardstock, love that stuff says Julie!!!

Her priorities here were a banner, which she made from
punched circles folded in half and

stapled to some scrappers floss with bows at each end.

Some fussy cutting of the pumpkins and spiders
which were raised up on some pop dots.

And a tone on tone title with a little pizazz to make it pop.

And then the added pop of a little glimmer mist.

supplies:
GDC 109, GP455, GCBA004
GP321, GCS050

designer: Katarina Damm

We love all the gorgeous colors that Katarina picked for this card
and the adorable little vampire. Even the chipboard sticker
and tiny little flowers match perfectly! The printed
purple glitter cardstock gives it just the right amount
of spooky details for the backround. So Cute!!

Have a great day and be inspired!!

It's so Spooky !!!

Halloween is just around the corner, only a month

away and it's time to shop for Halloween costumes for

our kids and get the trick or treat candy

from the stores while the selection is still good!!

so...

with the weekend ahead we have a wickedly spooky layout

to share and lots of buckets, cards and decorations

to get you in the Spooky mood!!

Have fun Creating.....

Designer: Debbie Fitzgerald

Tips: Fussy cut along spider web of GP455 and layer on top of favorite paper.

Use black glitter cardstock to frame your page elements. It will also bring out the glitter

of your other Best Creation papers (like the spiders and tombstones).

supplies:

GP 320, 458, 457, 455, GDC 004, ESG 007, GCBA 004

for class parties, friends or who ever comes

a knocking on trick or treat night !

tip: Use tags on sticks with netting for names or cute

decorations to make everyone scream with enve :)

supplies: GP 455, 447, 319

GDC 004 & chipboard letters

Designer: Jona Saavedra

It's always good to reuse something old again

and create something fun and useable!

So our Jona created this fun window box to

decorate for halloween filled with pumpkins

and witches and beautiful fun papers.

She also added tags and stickers

and cut out the letters from our paper

for the Trick or Treat at the top.

supplies: GP 446, 456, BGP 220, stickers MSS034

Designer: Kim Holmes

How cute will this look stuffed with candy to give a trick or

treaters on Halloween night? It was quick and easy too!

Kim just grabbed an empty paint bucket from her local hardware store

and covered it with all the yummy paper in the Halloween collections!

Added some ribbon and it was done-instant fun :)

supplies: GP 443, 450, 447, glitter papers

paint bucket from Home Depot

BGP 213, EC006, ESG 006 element stickers

Designer: Teresa Horner

For this bucket I cut out a spooky moon and then an extra 3" punch

in orange bats. I ran it through my printer twice to make

it say More Candy-less Tricks & I put it on top of our

Happy Halloween sticker. I popped up some

bats on the front and top and put lots and lots

of little glitter dots from Stampendous around the

top of the can and the top edge. Lastly, I tied lots

of fun ribbons and hung spooky tags off the side.

supplies: GP 452, 458, 096, BGP 212

gold glitter cardstock for the moon

tips:

You can use all those cute diecutes in 12x12

for cards too! Tina cut the cute pumpkins out on the paper and

popped them up and added a cute chipboard sticker! Super

cute and super easy to make!

We hope you have fun creating and stop back next week to see

lots more spooky fun layouts !

Thanks for stopping by,

Got Flowers?

Today we are sharing some fun ways to make and use flowers

on layouts, projects and cards. There are so many ways

to make them by scrunching, misting, punching, embossing,

die cutting, tearing, stitching or just plain using the papers

and cutting out the beautiful shapes on them!

We hope you love what we have to share and

hope you have time to make a few of these today!!

designer: Tracey Taylor

Design Tip: Use cut pieces from patterned paper in lieu of the letters
(like 'o') in your title to add a little interest.

Materials:
Autumn Splendor papers used: Pumpkin Cluster, Acorns, Leaf Medley, Sunflower Medley
other: lace, flower, rhinestones, string

designer: Alicia Barry

Materials used: Autumn Splendour papers: GP 410, GP 407, GP 414, BGP 223
I also added some Bella chipboard letters, Prima blossoms, and some little chipboard butterflies.
Tip: For the sunflowers, I cut 4 sunflowers from GP 410 in different sizes.
I trimmed around each one, but also cut between each petal.
I then shaped every second petal so it would stand up from the rest
to create a 3 dimensional effect.
I then layered the 4 sizes together with foam squares and adhered to my layout.
I find that because the Best Creation glittered papers are a little thinker than most,
the petals hold the shape really well.

Designer: Natalie Dever

Exploding boxes make a great gift and are super easy

to make. Each layer of square gets smaller so that it

all can fold in and you can top it with a gorgeous lid.

Too Cute for Words!!

Today we have 2 gorgeous Fall pages to share with

all of you and some cute Halloween decorations

to inspire you before the holidays!

designer: Debbie Fitzgerald

Debbie has some great ideas for todays page to

share with all of you!!

Besides layering so many cute papers

and using lots of popped up stickers and chipboard

embellishments she pulled out a piece of

aida cloth from her stash and spritzed it with

glimmer mist and pulled the threads to

make it look like fringe. And then ....she stitched

the border with embroidery floss and added

little beads! How cute is that!!!

supplies: GP408, 410, 411, 414, 417 &

ESG 003, EC 003 & BGP 222

designer: Rita Barakat

Rita added more to this already cute paper

by adding swirls of rhinestones and popped

up lots of cute pumpkins everywhere to

add to the cute pumpkin patch where the kids

are. She painted over the letters to make

them more uniform and add a little

more glitz and shine to the layout. Sooo Cute!

designer: Julie Walton

This really adorable card

was made with our glitter dots

and sunflower papers cut up with some ribbon

and a little stitching! Love all the colors!!

supplies: BGP223, GP410

designer: Kim Holmes

Cute idea to decorate choc bars with

gorgeous glittery papers and even

cuter stickers and some ribbon!

This would be a great idea for class parties and special

people you want to give something

a little extra special!

supplies: ESG 007 stickers & GP 458, 318, 324

designer: Jing-Jing Nickel

This is a really fun project to recycle a cute tin

that you may have already laying around somewhere

and re-decorate it to hold

lots of candy for co workers!

The adorable border in orange is made with

a punch and the bats are popped up

with our BC pop dots!

supplies: GP 319, GP 452

designer: Katarina Damm-Blomberg

Katarina made this cute wallhanging out

of a recycled frame. She painted it and added

lots of stickers, ribbons and glitter.

Super cute!!
