S2L Challenge 10/17-10/24 and a Halloween invitation

This week's challenge was to use polka dots or circles in your LO. I had no idea which LO it would end up on, but I knew I would easily be able to complete the challenge.

On Sunday I decided to complete another snow LO for my Utah Trip for Christmas 2006/New Years 2007 Album. I knew the pictures, I knew what I was going to use for the title and I knew that I was going to use a real photo scrapbook paper of trees with snow on them. But I didn't know what I was going to do for the actual LO or what I would use for the base paper. So I looked through my stash of embellishments, ribbons (I thought I had one that had snowflakes on it but I thought it was blue, turns out it was green with snowflakes on it. ARGH that wasn't going to work because my vision was for a powder blue background). So I continued looking and went to my DCWV Christmas stack pack. I found some paper that I really thought would look great in the end (not at all what I originally had envisioned!) and guess what??? The paper is polka dots...green! So guess what else, I get to use the green ribbon with snowflakes! I also got to use my cricut for the snowflakes. It was a trial and error as I wasn't really sure what size to use or how to get the size I wanted for the page. But in the end I think it turned out great!










Today I also made some Halloween invitations for our party on Friday (okay I know nothing like waiting until the last minute, but we just decided last Saturday and I did send some of them regular premade invitations to the people I didn't talk to). So for those I did talk to I decided to make my own! Once again I broke out the cricut and Design Studio! I made pumpkins and used Design Studio to weld the letters together for Halloween Party! I am very pleased with the outcome. Except I still need to learn somethings about shapes as I didn't feel like the pumpkins looked exactly right. Oh well, it still looks good I think! So here that is too!
