Halloween Banner with Cricut

Provo Craft is having a banner contest for their HSN day at the end of the month. You can enter 2 different banners which is what I wanted to do and I had the idea of making a small one. I thought about it and figured that a Halloween one would be cute since I just received my Teresa Collins Scary and Chic cartridge. It's adorable by the way! I think my favorite thing about the banner is the size and the fact that I used only cardstock.
Here is my 1st submission using Scary and Chic and the Wild Card cartridges. I also used stickles, Martha Stewart glitter, cuttlebug swirls embossing folder, Shabby Shutters Distress Ink, twine, and a few silver pearl accents.

I love to listen to music while scrapbooking

Here is a listen of a song that Jennifer Hudson has done with a dance club beat. I know it won't be everyone's cup o tea but I love high energy songs!

Scrapbook Royalty Charity

I just wanted to send  a shoutout to a group that needs help promoting. Scrapbook Royalty is a group that specializes in raising money for charity groups through crafty endeavours. This year they have undertaken running crops at various Scrapbook Expos and putting on several other retreats and events. They have giveaways and are currently having auctions with donated items they acquired through CHA vendors meaning that some of these items are not available for purchase yet or brand spanking new!
Find them here:
Ebay Auctions for Charity
They also had an online event that I participated in and I actually won something! I will be getting a prize from Heartfelt Creations which is a stamping company so I'm very excited as I've been on a roll with winning things. I need to buy a lottery ticket.

Christmas in July challenge #3 3D scene

For our next challenge we were to make something outside our comfort zone. I went ahead and made a 3D scene. I'm going to put either a photo, stamped image or quote inside the door. Oh yeah the door opens! I was thinking that because of it's circular shape it would look good with a battery operated tealight behind the door.
Recipe:
Christmas cart, door dark brown paper,
christmas cart, door blackout kraft paper, covered in green, top cut off
christmas door, door shift kraft paper, inked with distress ink walnut
all door pieces at 5.65"
christmas wreath green cardstock, 1.52", inked with walnut, added red ribbon, red & clear bling
snowflake paper die cuts with a view cut out with MS circle cutter, cut in half
base is styrofoam circle, I painted and distressed it, added glitter, flock, flakes (doesn't really show up in the pic)
I also added a backing to the door to make it stand up, I basically just cut a strip of paper and made a stand

Christmas In July Scrapbook Layout

I'm involved in an online challenge where we have to create various projects. Here is a LO for the Christmas holiday. I can't believe that people are already talking about it!

I used the Jolly Holidays cricut cartridge for the mittens and bird and the gypsy wanderings cart for the small border of presents. My paper was Die Cuts with a View Christmas stack from last year and also a sheet of provocraft christmas paper pad. The rest was cardstock and bling from stash. I embossed the bird and mittens with my polka dot cuttlebug folder. I also added white flock on the mittens. They are free hanging from a button with some red bakers twine. I attached the other bakers twine with my tiny attacher (love that thing).
