Luigi Halloween Layout- Lollipop Crafts #49

If you are looking for Kaboodle Doodles post, please scroll down.

We have a fun and easy challenge for you this week at Lollipop Crafts, the challenge is "anything but a card" and since I am trying to get back to scrapbooking my pics this was the perfect opportunity to crank out a layout.  We are sponsored this week by Robyn's Fetish and it's T-team's (Tammy's team) turn to share their talents, so make sure to check out their projects when you enter the challenge this week.

Here is a little about our sponsor:

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is
is owned by Robyn Weinrib.  Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to offer the winner of this challenge 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps and 1 digital paper set of their choice.

These are pics of my little Lucas last year at his school Halloween party, he was Luigi from Super Mario Brothers and he looked so cute with those little freckles and mustache.  They made ghosts from paper plates with streamers and played mummy wrap for their game.

Now now only did I create a layout, but I tried a new technique!  I created this fun little flower embellie, by pulling the stitching on one to gather it into a circle.  I then created a smaller one so I could have 2 layers, attached to a huger Glubber dot, and added a button to finish!

Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #56- 3/2/1 Recipe

It's challenge day at Kaboodle Doodles and this week we have a recipe challenge for you!  We are sponsored this week by Gingerloft and they have provided our DT with images- thank you Gingerloft! One lucky winner will receive FREE images as well, how cool is that!

The recipe this week is as follows:
3 designer papers, 2 solids, & 1 embellishment. I decided it was time I got back to scrapbooking, so I grabbed this fun image "You Rock" that you can find here. I thought it was perfect as this is my Lucas with his Student of the Month medal, he just started Kindergarten this year.

I used papers from the DCWV School Days stack and used a layout from my new CTMH idea book called  Magic that you can pick up here. All my papers are inked with CTMH Black ink. I also used my Cuttlebug embossing folder to add the numbers to the red strip.  I put his medal in this fun little keepsake holder that my friend Darla gave me.






I added my journaling by computer generating it and then cutting in strips, this is another first for me!  I am usally horrible about journaling on my layouts but am going to try to do better in 2011!

WOO HOO- go me, I actually completed a layout for 2011!  Sue ( my close friend and CTMH consultant) is gonna be so proud of me!

Now make sure you head over to Kaboodle Doodles to chek out what rest of team has done and join the challenge!

I am also entering this in the following challenges:

Card Creations & More-anything that sparkles (All my papers are sparkly, you can see best in photo with journaling- see all those sparkly stars).

 ECP Challenges-something for the boys (this layout is all about my sweet boy)
