Spooky Fun was had!

All day I had been thinking of Rhonna's new line that she designed to work with last year's fab line! And so I took a 15min break and created this cute little piece.  It truly is so quick and easy when creating with Rhonna's fab line!  I simply opened up Photoshop Elements and pulled in each of the elements, colored in the skull to be white so the pattern wouldn't show through, added the is coming text then hit saved and was done! Easy Peasy!  See my post from this morning to get the links to all the goodness or simply go to Rhonna's shop HERE and what I like to do is type in SPOOKY in the search bar so all things spooking pop up at once. 

Thanks for dropping in!

If you buy her new bundle you will have everything I used to create this and then some and all for $20  If you were to buy these individually you would spend $26 so get the bundle my peeps!! Do it.

cReative Team Tuesday

Hi there! Be sure to drop over at Rhonna's blog HERE this afternoon to see what some of the design team has shared.  There are always great ideas and inspiration shared at Rhonna's!

This week I don't have anything new to share over at Rhonna's but what I did want to share is how I used the Spooky Junque line last year when decorating for Halloween.   I thought I would share a couple of pics and links to the full posts below.  After all Halloween is just around the corner so it's time to start preparing for it. I love having my home decorated all of October!

Quick and Easy Thank You Card

Hi there!  I'm glad you stopped in!  Today I wanted to share with you a very quick, simple and cute card that I created to send an amazing lady!  I know that there are some of you out there that prefer an easy quick card/project and so this should be just up your alley!

I simply used the supplies shown in the photo above with two digital kits from Rhonna Designs to create that card.  I simply installed two brush files into PSE, chose my color and "stamped" them into the file, printed then cut them down to use in my project.   If you need a how to on how quick and easy that is let me know and I will do a very short video. 

I then cut out the designs and applied them to some Bazzill card stock and glued them on to a standard card that I had on hand.  I like to keep blank cards on hand that I buy at either Hobby Lobby or Michael's for quick cards such as this.

As you can see above, it is simple yet cute and I think it will get the job done. What I love about hybrid projects is that there are many times that I don't have pattern cardstock on hand that fits the occasion.  This is when using digital files via Photoshop Elements comes in handy!  I can create my own pattern paper when I use the brush files.  I can then make my own embellishments also, I can create them in any color or size I choose as I did with the chevron pattern from the insta Pattern kit and the insta Thanks kit.  Just imagine the adorable set you could create with this kit and it would be a great gift!

 I have listed the Insta Kits I used below.  Be sure to stop over at Rhonna's Blog found HERE for more inspiration and news!  She is celebrating her 1st year of business at Rhonna Designs.  I have been so lucky to have been a part of her first year! Thanks for stopping in and I hope you have a great day and week!

The Texas Hill Country - Part 1

Hello friends! I hope you are having a great Labor day weekend if you are in the states and for those of you out of the country hope you are doing well too! 

 I am just writing a quick post to share a couple of photos I took when Andy and I went to the Texas Hill country for a few days. It was such a nice and much needed break from work and our daily routine! I am so thankful that my husband planned some time away for us and it truly was special!
