Tammy
Here's a layout of my little guy's first halloween!  He was just three months old!

Karrie
Playing around with old stuff and trying to made cards, this turned into a journal page.
Just Be Wicked!

 Majo

I created this Halloween Tag in Mixed Media style. I used Gesso and texture paste for my background, some Tim Holtz Stamps and dies from a Stamp-/die set from Sizzix.

Happy Haunting ♥

Challenge # 239 - Oct 24 - Heritage

Hello, Karrie here...  My turn to hostess, it's challenge # 239, and I want to see something from your Heritage!  A photo that is older than 20 years, a piece of memorabilia or ephemera older than 10 years, or maybe document a memory  you have of something longer than 5 years ago! 
Oh and USE AS MUCH other STUFF AS YOU CAN! 
What does heritage mean to you?  Old photos or old paper, or new supplies that look old ~ I don't feel that there should be too many restrictions on creativity and creating.... But please explain in your blog post how it fits the theme.

My photo is my mom and her baby sister, this pic is from about 1954...

My fabulous team mates have made these:

Amy

I decided to make an Christmas ornament using a picture of my oldest.

Tina

I'm using a picture of me when I was 4 (umm 50 years ago!)

Gail

Photos of an old apothecary (est. 1869) located in Niagara-on-the-Lake. I used mostly BoBunny - Heritage line.

Haven

Photo from mid 1970's

TammyL
The pictures in my layout are from my last trip to London in 2000 and so the British paper is at least that old as well!

Shirley

I am not so much a heritage person in as much as the style of scrapbooking so today I am going to share a double layout created using the "proofs" from our wedding photographer.  I wanted the photos to speak for themselves so I choose to keep the embellishments to a minimum.  We recently celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary so I'd say this meets the "heritage" criteria

Challenge #238 - Mixing up the Stamps

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia hosting the blog this week.

Welcome to a new challenge theme! This week we have a special theme using stamps. You can create any kind of project mixing your stamps, combining two or more images or stamp sets in your project. Easy and fun!

Here is my project

On this card I used two different stamps, the first to stamp the banner  and the second to stamp the sentiment. HERE you will find a complete steps to create this card.

Janis

I used a sentiment stamp, an image clear stamp, and a digi stamp

Majo

I have used a Rubber Dance Stamp for my main image, a sentiment from PI. The little white flowers on my background are also from Rubber Dance Stamps.

I have inked my background with Distress Ink in different colours and sprayed a bit of water onto it, just love the texture it creates!

Tammy C.

I created a small canvas art piece this week to shake things up a bit.  I used Distress Paints for the background.  The stamps were from the Thankful set from CTMH.  Stop by my blog for all the details and more pics!

Maria Pilar

I used two stamps as background: wispy chrysanthemum outline and solid with blue and yellow ink.   And the sentiment is another stamp embossed.

You can see more details HERE.

Amanda

I used a Christmas tree stamp and sentiment stamp to get a start on my Christmas cards!

I know to many these colours are traditional Halloween colours but I have decided to go away from any themes and must make a nice easel card.
