Here is my youngest 2008 Halloween LO. The sketch is based on this weeks Creative Scrappers design. The papers are Booville and Stampin Up's retired Bold Brights - Lovely Lilac and Green Galore. I love cut outs, but never seem to have the mojo to use them. Here is the scalloped circle, then I followed the sketch for the photos, then punched various sizes of circles from the coordinating printed sheets. The title is cut from cricut Pooh and San Serif. I added some black Stickles to the Halloween, then mounted the "hundred-acre" on dimensional. I made a bow out of some leftover ribbon, then sewed a little charm to it before tying it to the button and using glue dots to adhere. Thanks for looking! April
The papers are standard cardstock and Recollections Rockets and Sprockets. I also have the matching stamps...aren't they too cute?!?!? I used the bubble border punch from EK Success. Images are all colored in watercolor pencil, then blended with SU's blending pen and embellished with a white gel pen and Sukura stardust pen. The are all adhered with dimensionals. Font is Almagro and the chipboard is Basic Grey and inked with SU's Taken with Teal. I used adhesive and mini glue dots to make the ribbon bumps. Thanks for looking! 
The base is Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip textured cardstock. I used Versamark ink and stamped the circle stamp from the retired set called "Rivited". Once that set, I used the "m" from a little wooden dollar set from Studio g and sold at Michaels. The "m" is stamped in Whisper White craft ink. Next, is Real Red and cut at 10 1/2x10 1/2. The next layer is Whisper White and cut at 9 1/2x9 1/2. The photos are cropped at 4x5 1/2 and 4x4. The circles are punched in Garden Green (r), Real Red, Brilliant Blue (r), Yo Yo Yellow (r), Only Orange (r) and Chocolate Chip at 1 1/2". The "m" is Cricut's Lyrical Letters and uses the Jumbo feature. It is cut at 3/4" in Whisper White. I cut off the left side bumps to match the m&m logo, then run it through the Xyron sticker maker. The trick with the Xyron is to rub really well all the way around the image before you peel the plastic sheet. (I use a pen or tweezers to rub as close to the image as possible.) I inked the circles with their matching ink before attaching the m's to the middle. I have a dimensional under each. The journalling is on Yo Yo Yellow and uses Bookman Old Style and Bernard Condensed. The title is stamped with Chocolate Chip ink on 2" and 1 3/4" circles and I used bits of leftover ribbon to add a little more texture. Check out the close up of the base and handmade m's! Thanks for looking!
