Warm Wishes Notecard

I haven't been scrapping in a while, but I've been doing quite a few notecards as we travel around as they are easier and don't require as much "stuff" to be dug out of the cabinets while we are traveling from place to place.

In honor of the recent time that we have spent on the beautiful beaches of Hatteras, North Carolina, I fell in love with this adorable little Beach Crab from the Sea Creatures Collection from FileKutz by LisaJane. I thought he was perfect to grace the front of a little note card. I wanted to mimic the warm sands and beautiful blue waters of the coast so I used a combination of textures on some cardstock to create a warm friendly card.

Here is a close up of the adorable cut file.

Sneak Peak of My Halloween Book

Using my Bind-It-All and FileKutz By LisaJane Files

Well October is almost here!! And you all know how much I love Halloween.. I have already started my 2010 Halloween Book for my boys.. A few weeks ago I was really sick and my hubby went out and bought me a Bind-It-All... And I just love it.. So I wanted to show off some of my book, I wanted to have the pictures in My newsletter, but then my BIL was hit a killed by a car.. and I am still dealing with that, but I am trying to get back into scrapbooking to keep my mind off of Life Stressor's so I hope all of you like what I came up with so far.. I will show it completed with title's and pictures after Halloween!! So here are some of the pages and close-ups. You can find almost all of these design's I used in the VDBC store, and the other's will be added with in the next few weeks. I will also give the recipe of each 2 page layout when it is completed, so check back the 1st week of Nov to see the end results!!

The last pic is the front of the book, I am not done with it yet, but I wanted you to see the shape I designed and cut from my cutter using chipboard.. Now this was my 1st time using the Bind-It-All tool and I didn't glue my pattern paper to the chipboard before I cut it, so I messed up on the holing, it all worked out and i just covered my mistakes, but next time I will glue my pattern paper to the chipboard before I cut, so that is my tip for this project. Hope it inspires you!!

Also I will be holding a Challenge at VDBC for the October Anniversary Party starting on the 15th: "Show me what and how you use your Fav Crafting Tool" 1st, 2nd and 3rd Prizes... 10 files, 5 files and 1 file..

And much more will be going on and many prizes!! So come join the fun!! I will announce again the day I start the challege with the link for thread and posting pictures, but this can give you a head start on choosing your tool and project!! Have Fun!!
