Spooky Spirits!!!

I know.  Halloween is long gone or a long time coming!  BUT I wanted to share with you the layout I did for a challenge over at Soul Scrappers which I WON!  Yes, me who never wins anything actually took first place for this layout.  It was a lot of fun to play.  All you do is enter the contest which has a name, thus "Spooky Spirits" as above.  Then the person who is actually judging sends you a "bunch of stuff" that you are suppose to put on the page.  Well, this is my results. Hope you like.

Hugs,
Alicia

Wyoming and Montana Layouts

Have challenged myself to use some stamps that I had to make a scrapbook page with it from the card idea that I saw originally with the stamp. That make sense? Anyway, I did two. They are simple but I did accomplish my own challenge on this. How about you see what you can do with some of your stamps that you have around?? Thanks for looking

Flower Fun 3D Project

I had so much fun making this picture.  This was cased from a Stampin Up Magazine for demonstrators.  Some of the supplies have been discontinued but if you have any lurking around that you want to use up this may be one project to help you. There were several accessories that were needed and that helped me to use up my stash that I have been working on so endlessly.  Where did all this "stuff" come from???  LOL!!  Me and no will power to any of it!
Anyway, hope you like this offering.  I will have to tell you if you haven't used the Timeless Type Alphabet Junior Sizzlits  die set yet, you will really like them.  They are perfect for both card making and scrapbooking.  Besides, they come in this really adorable box set with flowers on the lid.  Hope you enjoy.  More to come tomorrow trying to use more of my stash and the Sizzlits.
If any questions about it or anything else,, please let me know.

Vintage Clock Box

Hope everyone had a great New Year so far.  I have been really busy getting everything in order to start doing one of my New Year's resolutions which is to use as many stamps and accessories that I have that I have not used ever or in awhile.  So here is my first offering.  Had a lot of fun making this and have the supplies to make another one in a different color.  This would make a great gift so if you have any extra supplies or stamps that you want to use, try making this with them.  Let me know what you make, would love to see it!
Hugs,
Alicia
