Jeepers Creepers Blog Hop - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter




Welcome to the Craftin' and Stampin' Crew 
JEEPERS CREEPERS 
Blog Hop!

Myself and some other Craftin' and Stampin' Crew members decided 
we wanted to share some of our creations on a monthly basis with the 
monthly featured paper collections. 

This hop will be featuring the September Featured paper from
Close To My Heart called Jeepers Creepers! 

Our team has put together TONS of amazing inspiration to help you 
get crafty with this AMAZING paper packet and coordinating pieces!!

I am finishing up our band of wonderful crafters but if you missed anyone,

NOW ON TO MY PROJECT...

We went on a fun trip earlier this year to celebrate my 50th birthday.  One of our destinations was Universal Studios Orlando.  I am a huge Harry Potter fan and I was not disappointed!  When our blog hop this month tasked us with using the Jeepers Creepers paper from Close To My Heart I knew instantly that the cute lightning bolt paper was screaming for me to use it to capture my memories from this awesome trip.  I also used some of the Jeepers Creepers Compliments, Jeepers Creepers Washi Tape, and some retired epoxy bubbles (to get a similar look you can take our Clear Sparkles and color them with a black Shin-Han (or another type of alcohol) marker - make sure you let it completely dry before touching it).



I surprised myself by not using any stamping or Cricut cuts on this layout.  However, I have some ideas for the rest of the paper packet and some Cricut cuts from our new cartridge Flower Market.  There is a sugar skull on it that is too adorable?!?  I've just got to use it!!

Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!!  If you'd like to be notified whenever I post something new, just click on the follow by email button on the right hand side.  I won't send you any other email other than notifications when I have a new blog post.  Feel free to also check out my Facebook page at:  https://www.facebook.com/gabbysews/ or my Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/gabbysews/
