The Crafty Pickle Halloween Page!!

When you are trying to get a cute fast page of one of your trick or treaters ...here is a fun way to use the Pathfinder Paper pack with layering a few of the papers underneath your photo and then cutting little black circles under the Halloween button flair from The Crafty Pickle Shop to make them standout on the page!!
 Then I turned one of the flair into a badge for the "Best Costume Ever!!" award, then I scattered the Autumn sequins mix with small staples over the page and added the star stamp from the Close to my Heart stamp set Artiste. I also stamped the leaves with Brown Stazon and the used water colors to make the leaves match my page!!

Products used:
Pathfinder Paper Pack
halloween button flair
red patterned color pop flair
autumn sequins mix
Close to my Heart Stamp Artiste
Brown stazon, small stapler, paper trimmer,& foam mat from CTMH

The Crafty Pickle Thankful for cards!!!

Hi Kristin here with my first blog post for The Crafty Pickle and I thought that this "Thankful Heart" stamps set just screamer for me to make some pocket pages cards for the kids to write what they were "Thankful" for this year!!

On the top left hand corner cards I thought that I would put a 5X7 picture of my family and I would slide it under the "Thankful Heart" stamped sentiment, then on the cards the kids would write over the wood grain embossing folders from Close to my Heart Heart and all the different techniques I tried with the 3 different leafs stamps that were in the Thankful Heart stamp set, and then I added the arrow button flair set on the cards for you to follow your eyes around the layout!!!
