Psychotic Ramblings from a Serial Scrapper AKA Craft Room Therapy

Its no secret that Halloween is big at our house!  I created this layout for this month's Design Team reveal at Just Imagine/Kreaxions. I used the Kreaxions circle cutter and the #310 punch with the "A" circle template to create the doily.  I love the look of the black doily!!  So do you decorate for Halloween??

  I created this layout using this week's sketch from Nuts about Sketches (#341).  I even hand sewed on the layout!  Something I haven't done in a long time!  I use the circle wreath on the paper as the circle on the sketch!  I love it when the paper does the work for me!  Do you use sketches?  What do you look for in a sketch?

I created this cute birthday card created using the Kreaxions circle cutter and #903 punch.  To create this doily I used the Kreaxions circle cutter to cut a 12 cm circle and then cut a 5.6 cm circle out from the center of that circle.  I then used the circle stencils to mark the punching lines.  I punched the inside of the circle first using the positioning parts.  After punching the outside of the circle, I backed the doily with a contrasting color to help the flowers "pop".

Today is mini crop day at Turtle Soup so be sure to check out all the fun challenges the Design team has cooked up today. Today I challenged members to disguise a card like a layout -- Basically to convert a layout sketch into a card :D To start I choose this sketch from PageMaps Then made this card based on the sketch. Hope you hop in and join the fun!

Check out  this super fun layout of me (that's right I actually have a picture of me  on a layout!) and my son.  For this layout, I used this week's Sketch from Nuts about Sketches! The sketch called for lots of circles which were a breeze to cut out with the kreaxions Circle Cutter!  I thought the half circle at the top of the layout looked a little plain, so I "dressed" it up a bit but using the circle templates and the 903 punch.  I then added the doily behind the flower using the star template and the 903 punch with the "A" inserts.

I loved playing with this week's sketch at NAS!  I love that Shawn offers 2 page layouts with lots of photos!  (as I take lots of photos!)  Be sure to check out all her sketches!

It's the first Monday of the month whhich means its time for the Design Team at Turtle Soup to share their takes on this month's sketch.  And here is my take on the sketch.

Wishing my hubby a very happy 23rd Anniversary!  Wow! we look so young!    Hard to believe it was that long ago!
