Grateful - Paper Issues

Every month, Paper Issues offers a FREE printable.

They have asked the design team to come together and show you different ways in which you could use these FREE printable. 

I decided to fussy cut the fox and use him on the bottom right of my layout.  

This is my boy, 5 years ago.  Playing with his bow and arrow with his Thanksgiving hat he made at school.  If you look close, he may have tattoos and listen closely to hear his battle cry!

Isn't he cute? My boy and the fox!

Go HERE to see all the FREE printable that PI has offered over the months.  

I used Pink Paislee Cedar Lane collection.

TWD - Fancy Pants

  Fall has to be my favorite time of year!  The cool crisp breeze, remarkable foliage and candy!  lol.  Just kidding but not really!  I was excited to see that this week, over on the Fancy Pants blog, the Design team is focusing on Halloween.  

This year, costume choosing has become a battle. I want cute, like Buzz Lightyear, a cow or a minion.  My 10 year old wants to be a ninja, the Grim Reaper or Freddie Crueger.  We just can not compromise.  We, meaning my son and husband, have settled with a scary clown costume.  I will have to say, it is pretty scary.  The little kids are not going to like him. 

I am afraid that last year was the last time I had full influence on what he became for one night.  Zombie was the worst thing I would let him become.  Fake scars and all, you could still tell that it was him beneath a touch of make-up.

You can see more of my layout and the creepy zombie from last year over on the Fancy Pants blog.  

GUTS - A Flair for Buttons

Hello there!

Zombie - Paper Issues

Some of the the Paper Issues Design Team have come together to highlight and spotlight Crate Paper's After Dark collection.  You will see home decor, a few spooky layouts and some cards.  All created with the amazing Crate product.

Yes, please, send me double of everything.  I love love love it all.  

This is my boy last year a a zombie.  

This is also how a zombie waits for pizza.  

I am in the background crying, because this was the last year that I will have any costume control.  Being a zombie is on the edge.  This year, he has crossed to the dark side.  

This product was fun.  I layered,

and layered,

and layered!!!

Happy Halloween folks.
