Mischief in Studio J

Can you tell that these are both from Mischief?  One obviously is, but one looks a little different.  I made them  both in Studio J.

I love that I can change the colors in Studio J to match my pictures.

For this layout, I used Studio J's No Limits layout and the photo collage, shared by the very creative Amy Ulen.

I love that I can still use my Mischief paper and embellishments on this layout with a very different template.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for looking!

Another Mischief Card for Cricut Circle Challenge

Another Mischief creation (have I mentioned how I love this paper?) for a Cricut Circle Challenge.

The challenge: use the below sketch with 2 cricut image cuts.

I pulled out the Art Philosophy cartridge (okay, it was already in my machine...)

I cut the moon as the circle shape at 1.75".

I cut the tree at 3".

The sentiment is from the zip strip on one of the Mischief papers.

CTMH supplies used:

Mischief paper pack

Honey cardstock

Black ink

Art Philosophy Cartridge

Mischief WOTG stamp set

Fright Night stamp set

Thanks for looking!  I hope you enjoyed a little more Mischief!

Love Your Layout: October 2011

Simple Mischief/Remarkable Wreath Card

Since I was holding a workshop this evening, I only had time to do a quick and simple card.  I already had the Mischief paper out, so I decided to do a wreath for fall with traditional Halloween colors.  I used Black, Sunset and Gypsy for my wreath.  The paper behind the wreath is from Mischief paper pack.  I finished it up using the ribbon from the Black Mini-Medley pack and Sunset Cardstock for the base.  I also sponged all the edges with Black Ink.

Thanks for looking at my quick and simple card!

Mischief Workshop on the Go

Just a reminder that I will be holding the Mischief workshop Monday evening, in my studio. 
I thought I loved this layout before I started it, but I had a lot of fun putting it together and love it so much more now that I have it done and with my pictures on it.  All I have left is journaling, but I wanted to be sure to post it today.
These pictures are from last Halloween and that was the only year that my kids went with a theme and both followed it in their costume choices.  My son isn’t dressing up this year, so I am so glad that they decided to do this last year.  My son was Harry Potter and my daughter was Hermione Granger.  We had so much fun taking these pictures and every time I look back on them, I smile!

I hope to see you there for a little bit of Mischief!

So Grateful Card

I’ve had such a busy week that when I finally got a chance to get crafty tonight, my mind was not in a creative place.  So I used the opportunity to “case” the Thanksgiving card from the Idea Book on page 66.  Mine is slightly different, but not enough that it is really noticeable.
So here is my cased card:

Supplies used (all Close to My Heart):

• Wishes (Sentiment Secured)
• Grey Wool CS
• Olive CS
• Colonial White CS
• Mischief Paper Pack
• Grey Wool ink
• Olive ink
• Sunset ink
• Sunflower ink
• Olive Mini-Medleys
• So Grateful Stamp Set
• 3D Foam Tape

I absolutely love this stamp set and can’t wait to be in creative mood and really play with it.
I hope you enjoyed my cased card and I hope to be more creative in the upcoming days!
