Howl Are You Halloween Card

Hello! I hope you are finding some time to create some Halloween/Fall projects. We've been having fun here at Joy's Life's DT blog with a Free For All week.  

I remembered that I bought this super cute Cottage Cutz die last year and decided to use it.

  

The stamp comes from Joy's Halloween Puns Set.  It would work great with projects featuring all kinds of creatures that howl!

There's still time for you to grab your own Halloween Puns here.

If the paper I used looks familiar, I used the same paper pack for the green, brown, and orange challenge we had a few weeks back.  This was actually the project I was going with.  I had to change it up a bit before I was kinda happy with the result!  

I'm glad you could drop by today.  Thanks for leaving comments.  I really appreciate them! 

Happy Fall You All!

Halloween Bat Treats!

Hello, there! I've got a Joy's Life DT Halloween Treat 
project for you today.   I am so glad to make it through this hot Summer and into my favorite season, Fall! With it comes my favorite holiday, Halloween!

 I made these super cute and simple to make bats, using my Cameo.  If you have to create a lot of treats, this is one project that can be mass produced.

  
 Joy's Holiday Occasions stamp set is a must have set since it covers so many holidays.

Grab yourself a set here.  It's still early enough to receive it by Oct 31st for those Halloween projects. 

I used the Bat Candy Bar Wrapper file and cut it out on my Cameo.  Add a few googly eyes, decorative twine, and Joy's rubber stamp and you are set!

Are you making any Halloween projects?  Leave a comment and a link, and I'll stop by!  

Be sure to drop by this Saturday because Joy's Life is hosting a Halloween Blog Hop!  Hope to see you there!

Candy Apple Pumpkin Picking Color Challenge Card

 Hello!  The weather has been so nice here in Colorado with the change in the season.  Here's a pic I took on a drive a couple of weeks ago to Aspen.

If you've been following the posts this week on the Joy's Life's Design Team blog, you've seen that we are doing a Pumpkin Picking Color challenge. (That is....green, brown, and orange.)  

For some reason, I really struggled with this one.  

I then broke out my brand new Create A Critter 2 cartridge and ran with it!

Isn't that candy apple fun? And the stamp is very versatile!

 The saying comes from Joy's Halloween Puns set. 

 If you don't have you own, you can get it here in time for Halloween.

I'm really loving these stamps and my new cartridge!  The paper I used is from K&Co's Spooktacular pack.  The candy apple is on CAC2 page 58 and was cut at 3.5"  I think you'll be seeing more CAC in my future posts since I love these carts so much! :)

Are you working on any Halloween projects?  I'd love to hear about them.  Leave a comment and a link, and I'll be sure to drop by and say, "hi"! 

I hope you have a great day!

Kitty Cat Swatch Tag Book

Hello!  Thanks for stopping by!  I've got another post for JoysLife.com.  As you can tell from earlier DT posts this week, we are all doing our version of a Swatch Book.

  I remember when I was a little girl, my dad installed Formica counter tops.  He had samples of all the colors available and they were bound with a key chain. Looking back, I realized that those were Swatch Books! 

Since I have a house full of kitties, I decided I'd make a cat themed one. 

The stamp I used on the cover is from Joy's Halloween Puns Set!

 

Here's where I'll journal about my cat, Panzer.  The stamps and on the next two pages are from Joy's Lots Of Puns set.

 This next page features a picture of Panzer with a stamp from Joy's new Pun In The Sun set. It's perfect for him because he is the sweetest cat EVER! 

 The next two pages feature stamps from Joy's Sweet Popsicle Puns set. The paw print and the heart come from Lots Of Pun.

 This final page uses Joy's Sweet Popsicle Puns set again and sums up Panzer so well!

All the papers and embellishments come from 3 Bugs In A Rug Frisky paper collection.  The cards are cut 3x5 and I rounded the corners for a softer look.

This was a lot of fun and is inspiring me to make  journaling cards in the hopes of getting back into scrap booking.  Let me know what you think and if you'll try this someday!
