Shadow Box Card

My first shadow-box card, made for my amazing boyfriends amazing mother. I used the Sophisticated Cricut cartridge to cut out a lot of the shapes and the words. To color the papers I used Tim Hotltz Adairondack alcohol inks in gold and watermellon, and used a silver sharpie marker for additional highlights.

Printable Spooky Photo Mat 1

I just made these like 5 mins ago, I crumpled a 6" x 4" piece of black card stock, rounded the corners with my EK Sucess 1/4" punch, and faux distressed all of the cracks and edges on it with Staz On Ink (cotton white). So instead of having to go through all the motions of making it yourself (it's very messy lol), I thought, I'm going to scan this to share with others as a free printable. Click on image to view original size, then right click & save to your computer:) Enjoy, Its free and NOT copyright but if used in your minis please let ppl know where you got it from by copying the link below :) Blessed Halloween/Samhain Everyone xo

I made more in various colors after scanning it into my pc by changing the colors using an image editing program. scroll down...

Baby_Footprints_x3 Scut

I'm making several baby mini albums and made these files for them, so thought I'd share for anyone looking for the same thing :) The footprints were NOT created by me, I just simply opened scal and placed 3 on an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock to cut them out, it saves time as I have 3 sons and I'm scrapbooking all 3 of them at once.
