DAY 2: Creative Kuts~Black and Orange Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,  


Welcome to Day 2 of the Creative Kuts Black/Orange Blog Hop.  This hop is scheduled for yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday).  So glad you can join us for this fun "spooktacular" hop.  Be sure to go through each blog in the list below and leave a comment and follow each blog as you will be eligible to win some mega blog candy. 


If you just happened to come to this blog, you can start at the beginning with LISA.  If you just came from LINN then you are in the right spot.  At the end of this post you will see where you go next along with a complete list of the blog hop participants..

For my project I decided to use "Troubles Brewing".  You can find the file by clicking here.  


Instead of taking the file and making it into a layout I wanted to do something a little vintage'y.  I decided on little treat bags.   I used a plain white paper doily and sprayed it down with glimmer mist to give it a little more color with some shimmer.  I placed the dollies on the bottom layer against the bag.  Along the top of the bag is "crepe" paper in black and I used sticky strip to hold the crepe as I ruffled it.  I had some glass glitter on hand and thought it would look so cute along the base of the crepe paper.  To hold the glass glitter securely, I used sticky strip.  (sticky strip:  AKA red line tape)  


(more pictures of each one individually below).  


The General Information:


It's that time of year when the Nights are all spooky and the creatures are known to wander the forests.  So sit for a spell with a nice cup of hot apple cider and check out all the great projects using the Creative Kuts Files which you can find by simply clicking here.


We're so excited to be doing this hop and we have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies.  There will be lots of fun projects, along with some great blog candy, and a great grand prize for this hop.  This grand prize for this hop will be $50 of Creative Kuts files.  Final details will be given when the winner is announced.  


In order to eligible for the grand Prize, you must follow each blog and leave 2 days of comments on each blog.  (there will be 2 different projects for each person on the hop, one for each day)


The hop is a 2 day hop with only 13 blogs to visit so you will have plenty of time to make it through the whole hop line-up twice.  Check out each blog and see what blog candy you can win at the individual stops.  


Here are some individual pictures of each treat bag.  These will show some of the finer details.

The cat is my favorite.  I inked all the edges of the black card stock with a white ink pad and a sponge.  


C
This title medallion was framed with crepe paper and fits perfectly inside the doily. 


D
OMG...  this little witch.  I love her.  Look at that sweet face.  How could she cook up something evil.  She is the good witch only brewing up something sweet.  :)


NOW TIME FOR THE BLOG CANDY:
