For my project I used the Happy Howl-aween image below.
I created this layout with the Happy Howl-aween images and I just LOVE how the ghosts are so whimsical. I am all about cutesy Halloween!
Happy Howl-aween layout
I printed the digital image in several different sizes. I used the largest size of the tombstone and ghosts for the foreground and the moon. Then I used smaller varying sizes of the tombstones and ghosts and fussy cut them separately so I could pepper them throughout the scene. I fussy cut hills and popped up the front hill so I could layer the tombstones. The haunted house and fence were cut out using the CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge. I then distressed the edges of the title and sponged on Scattered Straw Distress Ink and attached it to a piece of orange tulle that I gathered in the center to make a spooky bow.

I sure hope this inspires you to create something ookie, kookie or a little bit spooky!

Howdy Hop-a-Long! Today we are participating in a mini blog hop. I partnered up with a fellow Close To My Heart Consultant to show you a couple of ideas using the Close To My Heart Cricut cartridge Artfully Sent. This cartridge is jam-packed full of fabulously easy cards you can make in a flash! There are 700 images on this cartridge, including pop-up cards, fold-out cards, icons, sentiments, pocket cards, sleeves, scenes, envelopes and an adorable font. The options are nearly endless. My card was a combination of two different pop-up cards.
Two Foxes Icon – I just love these little guys!

I also used this cartridge to decorate the inside of some Halloween cards I made. Here is the inside of those cards.

So as you can see these are very versatile! Thank you so much for hopping over, now please hop on over to Kim’s blog if you haven’t already been there yet today. You can find her here at:

What a great time I had participating in this challenge! We have such a sensational team of paper crafters involved in this. It was organized by every single member, in a true team spirit! We used Sketch #104 from Cardabilities for inspiration. http://www.cardabilities.blogspot.com
We invite you to hop on over to each blog listed and comments are welcome. We would also LOVE to see any projects that this hope may have inspired in you!
I used the Close To My Heart Skylark paper for my layout. I felt that the design with the beautiful sentiments of Spread Your Wings and Believe in the beauty of your dreams fit with the college graduation theme. Also above the photo of my daughter and her grandparents are the words Beautiful Memories was perfect. I also used CTMH embellishments, including Resin Flowers, Opaques, Sequins and Twist Ties. I added a little color to an off-white flower with the Lagoon ink. I used the mini Crazy 8 Punch to make the center doily.
