Exciting News!

Two Exciting things happening!

First is I am so excited, I just can't believe it! I was chosen for my very first Design Team! Can't believe it!
Its for Fantabulous Cricut!  http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/  This will force me to get out of this funk i've been in!

Second, you should notice that I have a new button uptop about the Nov. 30 days of Gift Making Hop!  Excited about this too! Its 30 days of 30 different gift projects! From Gift ideas, cards, layouts and all sorts of stuff! Watch Daily for where you are to go each day! I've gathered some of the best talented people, not everyone i wanted was able to participate, but we have an awesome group! So each Day will be just one blog you visit, unlike other blog hops.  I did this so you could really pull in the project and get really inspired to get some gifts made!  Some may even have their items for sale so you can get some great gifts purchased before hand! The full list of the schedule will be posted Oct. 31st!

Stay tuned! Tons of Exciting stuff happening!

Exploding Halloween Boxes MTC Files for sale!!

This is a Make The Cut File for several different style exploding boxes. I made these from scratch. They are set at the correct size for the average exploding box sizes, with marks for scoring. There is 2 styles that are non-specific the cross and square boxes with matching lids in 4 sizes. Then there is Boxes that you can make "Characters" with as stacking exploding boxes. Frankenstein, Dracula, Witch and other possibilities can be done with those "characters" such as Elves, Scarecrows, etc.  These files are copyright protected. There is a total of 12 files in the one large file to download.

The Design of the boxes are copyright protected. These are sold for personal use only. You are not allowed to claim them as your own, even if you alter the file you are not allowed to sell or share your altered file or share the file for free. You are to share the location where the person can purchase the files. I priced them affordable and sharing files that are sold or altering them and selling or sharing them for free is stealing and infringement upon your agreement when you purchased the file and is punishable under law. If you use the files to enter into any contest or publishing you must give "THE SCRAPOHOLIC" credit for the files and give details of where to purchase files. By purchasing the files you are acknowledging the copyright protection and violation of the files.

The files are just the base of the cuts, so any "embellishing" such as added buttons, inking, distressing, stitching, etc. are not part of the files. You choose the color or patterns of papers, to add any distressing or inking, adhesive, ect for your characters.

To Purchase All 12 Files for $5.00 click Add to Cart

I am currently working on converting the files to use in SCAL too.

Destashing Sale! Everything Must Go!

All items are either New or Gently used! I need to clear out some inventory immediately! Everything is Priced to sell! You are getting great Deals on everything! Sorry, currently I am not shipping out of the U.S. as The postal service has not been reliable and slower than a tortoise and I don't want any customers unhappy.  Thanks for your understanding and Happy Shopping!

Monster mash Blog Hop! Day 4

I finally tried doing the stamping on candles. i wan't thrilled the outcome but i recovered it by stickling the stamped image. It took alot to stickle it all but i really loved how they ended up coming out.

Trouble posting

Ok, I have been trying to get my post for the last day of the Monster Mash blog Hop and Blogger is NOT being nice!  I can't get my pictures to upload! :(   But some of the problem too, is its raining here and when it rains, my internet connection isn't so great. I WILL get it posted at some point today! Just wanted to let y'all know I didn't forget and nothing happened to me!

But while i have the chance i just want to thank you all for leaving me the nice comments, I've read each and everyone of them! They really mean alot to me that you took the time to post a few words!  Its been a really rough week this past week and this Hop has helped keep my mind off things, even if only for a short time each day. Then the comments just really brought some sunshine into my dark storm that i'm going thru right now. So, THANK YOU!

Now that I have my computer back all to myself again, I will be catching up on following people back and checking out everyone's creations and I'll be sure to leave comments too! So, check back here and there and hopefully I can get a good clear connection and get my pictures posted!

Monster mash Blog Hop! Day 3

This is the Third Day of the Monster Mash Hop hosted by Jenny at Crazy About Cricut , so if this is your first stop I suggest you Start here at the beginning http://www.crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/  IF you have arrived here from Stacie's Blog http://www.staceyscreativecorner.blogspot.com/ you haven't been spooked off your path.

Today I'm excited about these guys! You remember this Guy?

My Scarecrow was the first one i made and the easiest!

These two have been a bit more complicated. I have made my own MTC (Make The Cut) Files for these. I still need to work on the covers they need just (hopefully) one more adjustment. My goal is that when you open the file you don't need to resize, you will need to move some stuff to cut. I have decided once these files are finished and just right, I am going to charge a small fee because i've worked really really hard and put alot of time into them. I also, decide that some files like these that i put more than a week's worth of time into I will charge a small fee. Still affordable, but my time is worth something. As much as I love to share, many friends, family and even co-workers (other bloggers that I've made cyber friends with) have said that I should charge for some of the stuff. Yadda, yadda, yadda back to the projects!

Here is my Witch!  She i made the boxes into actual boxes.  So it doesn't open like an Exploding Box.  She stands about 14" tall when all stacked! Other than the spider which is from Cricut paper Dolls, and the metal buckle and ribbon, all else is cut in MTC with my files i made. I used all CTMH cardstock.

Here is Dracula! He stands about 11" tall.  He has his vest embossed with the spider web emboss folder and the buttons are CTMH Pearls. All of him is cut from the MTC files I made too! As You can see his "hair" doesn't quite fit and his "eyes" need to be just slightly bigger! I used all CTMH Cardstock.

Thats it for me today! Don't forget to Check back Tomorrow for the Last day of the Spooktackular treats!

Here's what I have for today! Not the greatest pictures as it has been overcast here in So. CAL for the last few days so no great natural light and having to use my flash and lots of shadows. But i have to tell you i just LOVE this kind of weather, makes me a bit homesick for Oregon! These are what i like to call "card candy" not sure what I want to do with them yet. I haven't "embellished" them or even adhered them yet as i want to figure out what i want to use them on. I used the cute stamp set from CTMH "Party Animal"one of my new favorites! I used CTMH Black and Pear cardstock and cut the shapes in MTC and my Cricut using 09Kut Ups Font and Basic shapes in MTC, with a sheet of the (double sided) orange/purple polk a dot paper from CTMH "hooligans" paper pack.  (which you can purchase any of the papers, inks and stamps from my site by simply clicking the words) I used the same inks to ink the edges. I colored the little monsters in with Copic markers.

Big Ten Blog Hop continued...

Ok, Blogger is really frustrating me! I've lost all the blogs I was following and have to re-follow everyone for starters.  My First Big Ten Blog Hop post is not showing my whole post! I see everything in edit mode but when i publish its not all there?  I've checked from my daughters computer and it does the samething. Very frustrating!
I tried adding my pictures of my card and layout but its not allowing me to add pictures now! I don't know whats  going on and I'm having a really bad arm day today! So anyways, there was suppose to be another list of blogs on my first post (this is part not showing up?)  The start of the "MASTER BLOG LIST" Some are participating in the Big ten hop and some aren't but they are all great blogs so be sure to check them out too!

Like I said I'm having a Bad arm day and in lots of pain so I can't think clearly or concentrate with this much pain. Sorry for any confusion on the hop or if your blog isn't listed yet.  I only have the ones that were emailed to me. Unfortunately I can't get the linky tool to work and i don't know of any others and am too tired to do a search.
Be sure to see my other post for the Big Ten Hop Below for my ten favorites.
