Halloween Boys - Paper Issues

Hey there! 

Do you love going to crops?  Ever think about joining an online crop?  Everything you need is with you in your craft room, and you can create and chat all at the same time from the comfort of your pjs!  Win win if you ask me.  This weekend, Paper Issues is having an online crop.  Go to......Paper Issues Friends and Fans, Fall Crop to play along.  There are prizes to be won and lots of inspiration.  I am not even sure how many challenges there are but I know there are a ton. 

I am playing along with the "Playing with Patterns" challenge.  You can use a dress pattern, mix up different pattern papers, or anything with a fun pattern that you find.  

I decided to mix a gazillion patterns on one layout.  I used the October Uma Thurman kit.  I really need to get my Halloween photos documented.  

Good Times - Paper Issues

Sometimes the crazies over at Paper Issues decide to throw an impromptu crop.  

This weekend happens to be one.  

I have a challenge for the masses....

Pile it On.

Add as many different things that you can.  Each different thing worth 1 pt.  Goal is to reach 10 pts.  

So chipboard, 1 point no matter how many pieces you use, enamels, stickers, etc. 

It was much harder that I imagined. 

I used Spellcast from Pink Paislee.

1. Patterned Paper

2. Cut File (FREE from the PI store - Love you to the Moon and Back.)

3.  Cling Label

4. Chipboard

5. Washi Tape

6. Ephemera

7. Puffy Stickers

8. Stickers

9. Flair

10. Enamels

11. Date Stamp

12. Thickers

13. Sequins

Last year we took my boys chum, Jayden.  We had a great time.  The screamed like girls and clung on like babies but it was fun.  We went through several Haunted Houses.  

At the end of the night, there was a parade.  The light would blink different colors, making the photos a different color.  I thought it was cool, so I created a photo strip.

National Coffee Day - Paper Issues

You have until midnight tonight to participate in the Fall Crop happening over at Paper Issues.  There are tons of prizes to be won.  I created this layout for the Handmade Embellishment Challenge by Jen Chesnick.  I decided to use her very own PaperPOP.  You can find different varieties here in the Paper Issues Store.  However, it can be anything handmade.  There are so many different challenges: Shape Challenge, Color challenge, sketch Challenge, Flair, Die cut or Printable Challenge, Swag Bag Challenge, Big Title Challenge..... the list  goes on!  Head over to Paper Issues Friends & Fans to check it out for yourself.  

Fall Harvest - Paper Issues - Crop

Good morning!

Time to wake up and participate in some, if not all of the fun challenges over at the Paper Issues Fall Crop.  Now, 10:00am, is my time for a challenge.  I have challenged you, and all other scrappers, to create a layout using the amazing Swag Bag.  Only offered over on the PI store.  It contains lots of bits and pieces of the most current product available. 

The catch is, you can only use one, uno, 1, sheet of 12x12 paper to accompany your Swag Bag layout.  You can mix and match bags or use only one, that part is up to you.  

Here is what I created.  

Grab a Swag Bag or anything else you need from the store with code: Mary-Ann for 20% off.
