A little bit of Halloween Mischief

Hi there! I'm not sure how November got away from me, and December flew by in a blink of an eye. I figured that before the New Year got here, I'd better get my Mischief artwork posted for you.





If you are interested in making a little "Mischief", too, you will need to order your kit before January 31, 2012.

Hope your Halloween was as much fun as our's. Thanks for stopping by.

Merry Christmas from our house to your's!

Merry Christmas from our house to your's!




Here a few last minute cards I made this week to send out. Hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas.

We just finished up Christmas with the grandparents, and the kids are settling in with their new toys. My son says his favorite toys are play-doh and Candyland game. My daughter really likes her Lalaloopsy stuff, though she is currently playing with brother's Hot Wheels race track.

God bless and Happy Holidays!

Believe in Wonderland Magic

Good evening. I've been missing in action for a few weeks now. I wanted to share my latest artwork with you.

A fellow CTMH consultant, Helen Onulak, has a weekly scrapbook challenge posted on her blog. I have followed her blog since before I signed up as a consultant. Yesterday, I found myself really inspired by this latest sketch and decided that I would dig my favorite kit (from the current idea book) out and create a new scrapbook layout. Hope you like!

The purple cardstock was inspired by 2 of my favorite CTMH consultants (and close friends), Ms. Dawn Ross and Ms. Heather Jane Schmuckal. We love purple!

I also have a set of Christmas cards to share with you. I'm sorry that I don't recall the name of the CTMH consultant that they were inspired by. She does lovely work, and it just so happened that I had the same scrap pieces left from my Believe kit. Here they are:

Now, last but not least are some fun french fry boxes that I made using the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge. I finally figured out how to make them! I'm going to share a link from the lady that inspired me to create these fun Christmas gifts. She is another CTMH consultant, Ms. Vicki Wizniuk. If you check out her blog, you will find the dimensions that were used to create these.


So there you have it...my latest creations. Merry Christmas from the Bennett Family!

Wonderland Workshop

Yesterday, I started working on scrapbook layouts for the Wonderland Workshop. After opening the stickease package and looking at the suggested layouts, I decided to change mine. These changes meant that I also needed to add some extra cardstock, such as Heavenly Blue, Grey Wool and White Daisy. I think you will agree that the changes were well worth using what I had on hand.



One of my workshop attendee's requested that we create some of the die-cut cards shown on the Wonderland brochure. To save money, I used stamping instead of the suggested Icing Overlays.
As you can see, I also used the snowman and sentiment from Pair-A-Phrase stamp set. I love how these cards turned out. I was having so much fun, I decided to create a few more Christmas cards to send out this year.


Supplies Used
Wonderland Workshop Kit
Wonderland Stickease
Silver Glitz Gel
Additional Grey Wool and Heavenly Blue Cardstock
