Halloween Layout - Witch 2013 - Guest Designer for Scrappy Dew

Happy Hump Day!
Today I am a Guest Designer for Scrappy Dew.
I love this file called Witch 2013.
I actually don't do alot of layouts these days but I wanted
to use every little bit of this file...


I love the border of cauldrons... and that cute little cat is my favorite..


I really love everything about this file..


I used all paper from my stash.
On the green polka dot paper I splashed orange acrylic paint on it.
I love the way it looks with the paint.
Have a great Wednesday....
Check back next Wednesday for another cute file from Scrappy Dew!

A Grand Adventure Is About To Begin... Pinque Peacock

Happy Sunday to everyone!
Today is my day to post at Pinque Peacock.
I have some great pretties (as my grandchildren call them) but
I didn't know what I wanted to do for this post.
I got some fabulous Hello Kitty covered buttons so I wanted to use...
  I had it all planned...
THEN
Lori came over to make a snowglobe card and asked for a 
pregnant lady silhouette...(which I didn't have )
So I asked on facebook... and Voila!
Cheryl from Creative Kuts just made one for me
Just like that! She is amazing!
This gal is not in the store but I think she could be if 
enough people asked for her...
Thanks again Cheryl!!!





Then I thought a beaded pearl pin
elegant floral, and a fabric covered button
would look perfect on here.
You can find them all here at Pinque Peacock!
I used glitter paper , and spellbinders for the scalloped circles.
The sentiment says 
A grand adventure is about to begin.. Winnie The Pooh

All That Stickles Button Blog Hop

Welcome to the Button Bonanza Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!


Buttons are fabulous embellishments to all types of craft projects,
 and what better than to spruce them up with some Stickles?!

 If you have just come across the hop and are looking to start at the beginning,

 please visit All that Stickles! 
If you've come from Karen  S's blog, you're in the right place.

I decided I would make a holder for all my buttons..
I didn't actually put any Stickles on my buttons, just because
 I couldn't make it look the way I wanted...
I have my buttons in a box some where but can't find most of them 
but when I do I have a altered jelly bean holder for them.
I used pink gingham tissue paper and modge podged it onto the jar.
I then put GLAM PINK STICKLES on the gingham tissue.
I used my MS  button punch to make buttons and made a 
border with them. On the buttons I used LAVENDER STICKLES.
I made Laura's Buttons on the internet!
I found three of my favorite buttons and  put them on the container.
I hope you all like it as much as I do..

Pinque Peacock - It`s Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Today is Pinque Peacock day at LauraLeesDream!

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
So I decided to use a beautiful fabric covered button and 
small splendid swirl done with breast cancer fabric.
This was a custom order. I just love all my buttons and swirls
(I got 10 different ones)...
I also used  a beautiful pearl stick pin.
I found this great little giraffe with the Breast Cancer ribbon.

I used silver stickles to add dimension.


I used a scalloped circle spellbinders on the very bottom.
I also used a butterfly circle spellbinder for the next layer.
Everything is inked with different pinks.
Hope is computer generated.
The patterned paper is from my stash.
It is very old but I love it.


This Breast Cancer Awareness Giraffe is from Kadoodle Bug Designs.
