~The Paper Passion~ Is hosting a crop this weekend!!!

Happy Halloweenie Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Happy Halloweenie Blog Hop" hosted by Paper Patch Crafts! 

If you've hopped along from Shelley Toneys' blog then you are right on track!  If not, be sure to visit all the blogs on the list at the end of this post! 

We've all had fun creating with the new Websters Pages "Once upon a Halloween".  If you love it as much as we do, you can purchase it here at the Paper Patch Crafts Store. 

If you LOVE Halloween treats more than tricks then be sure to comment on everyones blog, and on Annes' Paper Patch Crafts blog to be entered in the random draw for some fabulous blog candy!

Creating with this Websters Line was so much fun!  I used patterned paper and several embellies to layer the flowers on this page.  I absolutely cannot get enough of Websters Cameos.  They are really fantastic and unique.  The crochet lace reminds me of fancy cobwebs.  I cut the spider out of the transparency paper and it's hanging to go right over the photo that I choose to place in the 5X7 Mat.  From my stash I used Prima swirls and random rubons that I had on hand!

A closer look at the trim and embellishments.

If you know me well, then you know that I am not a big fan of Owls.  Thus the sentiment on the card "You are Scaring Me!"  ...But I must admit, that owl is pretty darn cute with a flower pattern! 

One of the 12x12 pages comes with numerous card sized sentiments/sayings.  This one is perfect for that simple Halloween card! 

Lastly, another layout ready for 2012's pumpkin carving photo.  Once again, I layered patterned paper flowers with trims and embellishments to create dimension to the project.  The green crochet trim and purple scalloped edges are pretty unconventional Halloween colors.  They look great together!  This paper is so pretty with the cameo pumpkins, I just had to use it! 

I hope you are having fun hopping and hop along to the last blog on the list!  I'd love comments if you would like to take time to leave one!

Happy Hopping & Happy Halloweenie!!!

Girl Land Cards

Hanging out with my girls in the scraproom late into the evening is one of my favourite things to do. They create pages for their "Smash" books, or paint and chit chat while I play around with whatever is leftover from the last projects I worked on. The table is usually a mix of DT papers and embellies, new purchases or old favourites.

With still lots' of the fabulous Websters "Girl Land" products to work with, I created a few cards for my stash.
