Little Scraps of Heaven Designs DT Halloween Blog Hop

Happy Halloween!!!

This year for Halloween we, the Little Scraps of Heaven Designs DT, decided to get together and have a Halloween Blog Hop.

We've been preparing for halloween for days here (weeks if you count decorating) and have been having a fun time doing it!

I've made pumpkin and halloween banners to hang in my home, halloween cards, cheesecloth ghosts and even some fun Halloween treats for the kiddos.

If you have been following the hop and have come from Dana's blog then you are in the right place. If you have just happened upon my blog please join us and head to Tricia's Blog to start hopping with us.

For the blog hop, I've decided to work with the "Ghouls Night Out" pattern collection as well as a few elements from the "Haunted Graveyard" pattern collection.

I've been dying to work with it and this seemed like the perfect excuse!

Here is the two page layout that I created:

 Here is a close up of the left page:

and the right page:

Aren't these gals just the coolest?  I'm really trying to figure out how I can incorporate them .. you know .. mix them up in other ways ... for future projects ..

The spooky tree and cat

For my project today, I decided to first see what characters or things from the 80's that Emily liked most. This is of course, her hop, and I wanted my project to directly relate to something that would make her smile. Well, Emily informed me that she LOVED Rainbow Brite as a little girl..... and who wouldn't??? A cute girly girl character with LOTS of color!

Happy Birthday Emily!

I hope that you enjoy this birthday card that I made especially for you.

For this card I pulled out my copics (I only have a handful of colors, but luckily I had what I felt was needed for little Miss Rainbow).  I found a cute Rainbow Brite coloring page which I sized down and printed on my curious metallic paper.  My Birthday Celebration Stack from DCWV really jumped out at me to coordinate with the coloring of the images.  Lastly, I accented with some red and white bakers twine to give the illusion of sunshine streaming down on her  .. cute, huh?

I'm so happy you stopped by today.  Don't forget to stop by everyones blog for their fantastic creations and many chances at different blog candy!

I'm offering a bit of candy myself.  Leave me a comment and follow my blog for a chance at winning a scrapbook kit which will contain solid and coordinating pattern pappers, ribbons, and embellishments.

If you'd like to stop by my FACEBOOK page, I'd love for you to join me there too ... however, this is not a requirement.

Now, head on over to Kathy's blog to see what she has in store for Emily today!

The 12 days of Christmas (Day 7) Guest Designer

Hi Everyone!
If you are here from the 12 Days of Christmas Blog hop for the Guest Designer entry ... well, you are in the RIGHT spot!


Thanks so much to Lisa over at Honeybearz Designs for hosting and for having me as a guest!
If this is the first you've heard of this hop, you had better head on over to Lisa's blog to check out today, and the last six days of hops.  She has gathered some absolutely amazing prizes for blog candy.  You certainly DO NOT want to miss out on that!




My project today is a set of cute little Elves that I've paper pieced together using patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I just love her Jolly Little Elves as they are so incredibly different than any others that I have seen out this year.

I'll be posting these cuties for an AMAZING promotion that will be going on from the MOMz ebay Design team tomorrow evening on ebay.   Watch my items HERE to see it (6pm PST).

Now head back over to Honeybearz to continue on with your hop.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Merry Christmas to all!

I am so glad you joined us today! Boy themed projects seem harder to come by so that is why we have dedicated TWO whole days to nothing but boys! Hopefully you are able to walk away with some fabulous ideas in mind. We have a lot of very talented people that will be sharing their projects with you and what would a hop be without a little prize at the end.....?

There is a FANTASTIC prize package waiting for you! All you have to do to be eligible is...

Little Scraps of Heaven Designs $20 gift certificate

Paper Piecings by Nikki $20 Gift certificate

The Beary Scrap $15 gift certificate

Beary Sweet Designs $20 gift certificate

What a FABULOUS PRIZE!!! I sure could do a LOT of damage with all of these incredible files!!! :)

Now onto my projects for the hop -

If you know me, I have boys. Everything about me is boys. Even the two dogs are boys ... I'm surrounded by them and can't get away :) I must admit that I love it though. Nothing like snuggling with my boys!

Nothing says BOY to me more than Pirates, Cookies, Trains and Smiles ..... for that I'm sharing some of my personal layouts capturing each of these fantastic traits of my little ones.

First, we have PIRATES .... YO HO!

Who could be afraid of this cutie?

What Boy does not like a good homemade cookie? Especially when they get to lick the bowl?????

Now for the TRAINS. This layout is from the year that we first discovered trains. It's been years and my boys have yet to tire of the wonderfully complex world of trains. The more trains around the happier they are. I do not see this fascination ending anytime soon and fully expect it to carry over to adulthood.

And Finally SMILES ... the type of smile that makes you chuckle and your heart melt a little bit.

The kind that you want to capture in a box that you could somehow open every now and then when you need a pick me up.

There are some fabulous project for you to see from Day one of the hop ... If you want to check out Day 1 of the hop CLICK HERE.
