Happy Day to you!

Hi Everyone!


We had just the busiest weekend, but oh so fun! I know I mentioned this but my 7 year old is playing flag football for the first time this year.  He's just a little peanut out there having so much fun. The coaches have put his ENERGY to good use. He looks like a little tornado out there grabbing flags. It's so much fun!! We also had a pumpkin carving party that was so much fun! But meeesssy!! On Saturday we went to a family party and my boys went to Halloween parties. whew... we need a rest. 
Tonight, I have created a super simple card for a couple challenges. I have seen these pumpkins all over the internet and just love the way they look. They are so simple but look so pretty. I created this to enter in:

Hi Everyone!


Here is a card that I created for a few challenges. I have had the Wrap it Up cartridge for quite some time and have never cut this image.  I really like her, she's green but I think she's pretty :)  I hope you can see the lace I used for her skirt.  I also cut off the original broom and attached raffia in it's place. I absolutely LOVE the ribbon that is behind the witch, I found it at Michaels and bought the last three they had. Hope you all have a great day!

Patched of Pink Link Up time! Halloween Theme

Hi Everyone!


It's my favorite Thursday of the Month! It's Link -up time over at Patches of Pink. The theme this month is Halloween.  I really wanted to create a home décor item. I decided on creating blocks that I can display on a shelf.  I started with 3.5” blocks that my sweet hubby cut for me, and then adhered cardstock paper and letters.  I used fast finish decoupage to finish the blocks. I love the results but I will say that I had to redo the doodling as some of the lines made with the white gel pen turned yellow, next time I will just do the doodling last.  This is really a great product, it's tack free and the finish is really smooth!  

I added a few little details that matched my theme and I really like how it turned out. 

Please pop over to the Patches of Pink blog and have a look at the creations this week, They are sure to WOW you!

The letters were cut using the Blackletter Cricut Cartridge 

This adorable little spider is from the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge

 This cute little bat is from the Simply charmed Cricut Cartridge

This is a paper rosette made for a .5 inch strip of DCWV paper.

Thank you for stopping by and please link up your Halloween project at Patches of Pink.

Halloween Treat Box

Hi Everyone!


Wow, the days just zoom by..... our family is just so busy! 
Here is a treat box that I created a while back and just managed to finish this morning.  I am entering this in a few challenges.  I used TBBM for the box and with my gypsy I inserted a circle and then placed the spiderweb inside the circle. I filled it with candy corn and topped it off with some ribbon, a button, and a cute little brad.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Hi Everyone!


Hope your week was great! We had our first flag football game, boy was it fun!
I have a card that I created for a family friend that's having a baby girl.  She's was due Friday so anytime now! I saw a couple challenges this week for babies so I kept them in mind when creating this card. Cricut 360 is having a welcome Baby challenge using dry embossing.  I tried out something new (for me). I cut out the carriage shape and used glitter glue and let it dry, then I used an embossing folder and ran it through the cuttlebug.  Next My Time to Craft is having a nursery necessities challenge. For this week's challenge just have something to do with Babies on your card. Here is the card!

Hi Everyone!


Here is a card I made for the My Creative Time~Throwback Thursday Challenge.  This challenge is to use a "FONT" cartridge, not a regular one, but a "FONT" cart!

Hi Everyone!


Hope your weekend was great! We had a B-day party and my Mom was here so not too much time to create but I did manage to finish this card that I started last week.  I still have about 3 more projects to finish. My little one started flag football and will have practice Tue & Thurs. My oldest will begin winter ball so my weeks are filling up. I will return to work Oct. 21st so I'm trying to create and then I can schedule posts when I can't find time to craft.
I created this card for two challenges this week. My Craft Spot - Too cute to Spook & Paper Cutz Challenge - Shake, Rattle, & Roll - A Cricut cut image of a skeleton or skull & crossbones, BUT make it CUTE and NOT SPOOKY!


So here is my card! I distressed the edges by lightly wetting the cardstock (just the edges) and then running my scissors along the edge. I then inked the edges with Tim Holtz vintage photo ink. Lastly I add stickles to the sign and some of the images on the background paper.
