Well, I think it's about time to celebrate some card making!!!!

Hey everyone, Katrina here with some FABULOUS work from the Card Team and the Local Design Team!!!

I have so much to share, that I am just going to get right to it!

First up is Rae Barthel....and she has gotten a little Boo-tiful for her projects!!!!  Be sure to visit Rae's blog for all sorts of inspiration and wonderful cards....She makes these look so great and easy!!!!

 How cute is that???  Rae used a piece of the Ghost Chipboard album on the front of this card!  All of Nikki's chipboard albums are 6x6 approximately, so you could use any of them for the front of a card! 

 And this card uses some of the Cutie Cut-Ups.  The Cut-Ups make fast work of making a card or embellishment for a page!

  Let's just say I am a sucker for some gingham ribbon!!!! 

 This house doesn't look too spooky do you think?! 

Next up, I think it's beginning to look like Christmas!!!!  The talented Linda Beeson is already getting started for the Christmas season with a couple of Christmas cards for us!!!  And Linda's blog is full of all kinds of ideas, so be sure to visit her too!  These are from the Happy Holly-Days Collection.   Take a look at these.....

 Who doesn't love nutcrackers??  Linda also used Cut-Ups on her cards!!! 

And Linda took the Holly Wreath circle die cut and used it for her scallops....no border punch here!!!  How great, you could take a bunch of these circle die cuts to a crop and not have to haul your entire border punch collection....not mentioning any names on who might do that.....(me!).

I am going to jump in now...because believe it or not, I have made some cards recently!!  It was World Card Making Day after all!!!  I used some of the newer collections, but I also used one of the older ones,

Ellie's Day Out.

This is a shaker card....they are pretty easy to make and fun to shake!!!

The Ellie's Day Out collection makes sweet birthday cards!

This is from the Tree Love collection...this is one of my FAVORITES!!!  Try using a simply tag on your card as an embellishment, pop dot it for added dimension!

Blueberry Hill is so bright and cheery.  Perfect paper for a pick me up card!

Now we have Karen Taylor from the local team. Just a little more Boo-tiful going on here!!! She has created a tag and a card this time!  Karen's blog is located here.  Be sure to visit her too!

I LOVE this card!!!  That flower almost looks like it needs some water don't you think?

And what a cute vintage tag!  This would be neat to stick a gift card in for that special trick or treater!

And last, but certainly not least is Lea Albers.  Lea is from the Netherlands and she creates some amazing stuff!!  Her blog is here.
Lea has created some "PocketCards" as she calls them...now why can't I think of things like this?!  These are super cute and really easy to do!!! She used the My Friend Birdie Collection for these!  She also mixed the 12x12 papers and the 6x6 minipads!!! 

Both of the cards only took a half of one of the Chirp Chat circle die cuts!!

This first card she took the half die cut and sealed it to make a pocket, then used one of the minipad sheets for the card to slip inside!

For this one, Lea took the other half of the die sheet and folded into thirds.  Super Cute!!!!  And then she used another mini pad sheet to make the card!  Lea has also used the Cute as a Button Buttons on her cards also!!!

Well, that's it from me and the girls!  I hope we have inspired you to get some Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker paper and start creating some of these fun projects!  That's it for us this month...we will see you next month with some more fun stuff!!!

Have a Scrappy Kinda Day!!
