Halloween creations through the eyes of a kid!
Halloween is such a fun time of year and of course kids really enjoy it. It is also such a great time for many people to express their creativity.
Today I thought that I would show you the creations my daugther J’Naya made. I guess she is following in her mommy’s footsteps just as I did from my mother, and my mother from her mother. Guess it is in our blood! I do come from an amazingly talented family of crafters and artists! I certainly feel blessed and expressing myself through cards, scrapbooking and stamping is also great therapy, wouldn’t you agree?!
J’Naya created 2 Halloween scrapbook pages. She keeps reminding me that I am bringing the camera to take pictures of her tonight so that she can put pictures on her pages. Then she also made each of her classmates and her 2 teachers Halloween cards. She used the Graphic45 Magic of Oz collection to create her cards. It was so fitting that the Wizard of Oz was on TV last night and we just had to watch it together!
Have a Fun and Safe Halloween!
ALL GRAPHIC45 Magic of OZ papers on SALE this week: 75cents each! E-mail me a list of the papers that you are interested in….I have them all, but once gone they are gone!~

Monthly Memories this Thursday!
Thursday Oct 13th from 6:30-8pm is this month’s Monthly Memories layout. As you can see the Theme is Halloween. I have given this layout a grungy look. This layout could easily be turned into a Fall Theme…just add a few leaves!
Space still available. E-mail if you would like to attend. Please do not wear good clothes as we will be doing some splattering! Graphic 45 paper as well as BoBunny papers featured.
Thanks,

NEW Product arrival!
So many goodies have arrived that I’m not sure where to start. But, if you are making your Christmas cards, creating Christmas Projects and Christmas layouts, you are in luck. I have an abundance of Christmas Papers in Stock. The following are the lines I have :
Graphic45′s Christmas Emporium, 
- Kaiser’s December 25th and
- 2 different Christmas lines from BoBunny: Father Christmas and Blitzen.
To go with your Christmas projects, snowflakes are always a nice touch. I have pewter snowflake brads. But what is Christmas and Winter without snow? (OK, we might not get so much snow here in Victoria, but it is definitely a touch that I like to add.) To do this I brought in White Liquid Applique. Squeeze a little here and there on cards, projects and scrapbook layouts then a little blast of heat with a heating tool will make the magic happen. The white liquid will puff up. But don’t stop at snow! If you have an image of a cup of cocoa, put some on the top of the cup, heat and now you have foam or whip cream! Over heat it and it will go a bit brown which is actually burning it. But with the right image, this is a good effect (think smoke coming from a chimney or fireplace maybe).
I always love putting ribbon on projects and May Arts ribbon is a winner with me. Lots of variety and colours. I have an assortment of colours in:
- Grosgrain 3/8″,
- Sheer/Ruffled 1 1/2″,
- Reversible Satin 3/16″,
- double-sided Satin 3/8″,
- and the very popular ribbon strand of leaves in 2 different green colours!
This is the start of my ribbon section.
Gift Giving: Are you stuck on what to give someone special? Kaiser has created 2 great Beyond the Page Projects that would be great for Gift Giving! Give one as a gift on it’s own to a crafting loved-one or decorate it in your own special way and you will have created a lasting gift for someone special. The 2 projects are (see attached pictures):
- 12 Drawer Storage Box
- 25 Drawer Treasure Chest
Other items that have arrived:
- BoBunny’s Forever Fall and Welcome Home collection of papers
- Tim Holtz Distress Inks and refills
- Mod Podge
- Scor-Tape
- Bazzill Cardstock to match Christmas lines
- Also Graphic 45′s ABC Primer paper
Happy Creating!
