1. Color the larger frame and the 2 smaller inside shapes with a gold krylon pen.
2. Attach the "All hearts" sticker to the front of one of the fancy shapes.
3. Hand cut a shape similar to the sticker in green and attach it to the back of the other shape.
4. Cut 2 shapes out of red paper slightly larger than the fancy shapes and attach these to the back of each fancy shape.
5. Punch a hole in the center at the top and bottom of the larger frame.
6. Cut a 6 inch length of gold cord and run it through the holes in the frame and then sandwich in between the other two shapes. (I used double sided adhesive tape to hold it in place.)
7. Glue the two fancy shapes together.
8. Tie a 6 inch length of gold cord through the top hole on the frame.
9. Finish by adding a small red bow and a red gem to the heart.

1. Start with a square of patterned paper 3 inches by 3 inches. (You will need 6 of these.)
2. Fold it in half to form a triangle then fold that triangle in half to form a smaller triangle.
3. Cut 3 slits, being careful not to cut through the middle.
4. Open your paper.
5. Start in the center of the cut pieces. Curl them inward and slightly overlap them. Add glue to the overlapped area to hold them together.
6. Repeat this with the next two cut pieces, however do it on the opposite side of the first one.
7. Repeat this process 2 more times, alternating which side you curl them.
8. Repeat steps1-7 to create 6 of these shapes.
9. Attach them together one by one using a hot glue gun until you create a star/flower shape.
10. Finish by embellishing the center as you wish.

Today I am sharing my October Magistical Memories projects with you!

For my first project, I used the Scallop Lace Book to create this fun little Halloween treat bag. I cut 2 of the pages to the same height and then cut the sides and a bottom from chipboard. I used masking tape to hold all of the pieces together. I painted the inside and outside of the bag black. I then covered each side of the bag with pieces of pattern paper, stickers and glitter. I finished by filling it with some yummy Halloween peanut M&M's!!!

My second project was created for the October contest. For this months contest you are to create a Halloween or harvest themed card. I created my card using the Nesting Circles. I covered them with patterned paper and used them along with some foam tape to give more dimension to the cardstock sticker.

My third and final project that I am sharing today was created for the October challenge. For this months challenge you are to use a tic-tac-toe grid as inspiration. I chose to use the actual grid design as my source of inspiration and I used this to determine how to place my photos in my photo collage. I used the Baseball player silhouette on this LO and I painted it red and then covered it with red glitter glue.

MAKE PEACE with who you are

and where you are

at this moment in time

If you can’t hear what it is saying

in this noisy world,

MAKE TIME for your

Enjoy your own company.

Let your mind wander amoung the stars.

Try.

MAKE MISTAKES.

Life can be messy

and confusing at times,

might be a stepping-stone.

Be happy.

When you don’t have what you want,

want what you have.

You have to MAKE YOUR OWN WAY.

And if you ever get lost, don’t worry.

The people who love you will find you.

Count on it.

Life isn’t days and years.

It’s what you do with time

that’s inside you.

MAKE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE...
