Project Life >>> Week of October 27th

I seriously had so much fun putting this week's Project Life spread together. Since we had so many Halloween activities this week, I decided to use the Glitz Raven line for the whole spread. There were so many fun elements in this line which made putting things together really fun.

This week we were challenged on the Glitz Design blog to use Whatnots on our project. Whatnots are die cut shapes and cards that come in a package filled with lots of bits of goodness. The big pumpkin, owl, chevron tag and "love Halloween" card are all from the Whatnots package. If you want to check out more Whatnot inspiration, be sure to check out the Glitz blog this week.

Pumpkin Carving /// Trick or Treating // Birthday Boy /// Candy!

We Dressed Up! /// Iron Man /// Ms. Captain America /// 70's Bridesmaid /// Gandalf /// Zombie

We all had fun dressing up in our family this year. Ward and I don't usually dress up, but we did this year and loved it! I wore the bridesmaid dress that my aunt wore at my parents' wedding. Pretty cool that the dress has survived in a closet somewhere for over 40 years!

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend.

Raven Blog Hop >>> Glitz Designs

Happy Halloween! If you celebrate Halloween, I hope you have a fun filled day!

Today we are doing a Glitz blog hop filled with inspiration and creations using the Glitz Raven collection.

I dusted off my circle punches and had some fun creating the background for this page. I'm wondering why it's been so long since I've used those punches! I filled in a few of the circles with stickers and those fabulous Glitz Giant Rhinestones. Those are seriously so cool!

Want to join in the blog hop? Just leave one comment per design team member as you check out the projects today. One random commenter on the blog hop will win a Raven prize pack from Glitz!

Hello, Halloween!

Are you like me a take a bunch of photos on holidays, but then don't do anything with them until a year later when the holiday rolls around again?  After the holiday, I'm ready to move on and don't seem to scrapbook those photos right away. Plus, if I wait a year, then I'll have brand new holiday products to use!

Today on the Glitz blog we are wrapping up our cross promotion with Prima and I have another project to share. I may be biased, but I think Glitz really outdid themselves with their Halloween line this year. I just love the patterned and the classic colors.

One of the items in the Prima pack of goodies was a 12 X 12 diamond background stencil. I used some black mist and the stencil to give the background a little extra texture. I had a lot of fun layering up paper, trim, stickers, tags and that cute owl rhinestone on this page.

Last year was a really fun Halloween. Now we just need to figure out what the kids are going to dress up as this year!

I hope you don't get tired of Halloween posts around here this month!

I've been busy creating a bunch of stuff with the Glitz Raven collection. The patterns and classic Halloween colors are so easy to work with.

This picture was taken last year before the boys headed out for some serious trick or treating. I think this was the first year we let them run around the neighborhood with friends without any parents. The neighborhood streets are block off from cars and they had a set area they could go in plus they were with older kids, so now worries that they weren't safe! I'm pretty sure they had a fabulous time.

I really liked how this background photo looked with the photos, but I want to add some splashed of color. I cut some paper strips the same width as some of the striped sections of the background paper and filled them in with some pops of color. I really like how the bright colors look again the black and white background.

Be sure to stop by the Glitz Blog this week of  a lot of fun Halloween inspiration!
