Autumn Greetings

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are enjoying your week! My seminar was canceled so I have been enjoying two days off and have been able to catch up on everything! Boy, it feels good. Wow, I even cleaned out my closet.
So I have had lots of creative time and here is an Autumn card that I put together for a few challenges.

This little stamp was $1 at Micheal's. I fussy cut him and can I just applaud all of you that fussy cut! Boy does it sure take some patience. I colored him with my copics and as you can see I sure need practice on shading/blending whew a lot of practice :)

The shape card was created in my gypsy using a flower cut from the Bloom Cartridge

Treat Holder for Halloween

Hi Everyone!
Guess what? We actually had a little rain yesterday, and last night I felt crisp cool air YEAH!!! It's here, Fall has arrived but I think it's only here for a few days because Monday it's going to be back in the 80's. 
I am sharing a spooky little treat holder that we (my eight year old & I) made completely designed by him.  He picked the cut, the paper, and even glued on the webs. If you caught my other posts - he really wants a "Spooky" Halloween and nothing CUTE :( 
He is invited to a costume party and we thought it would be fun to bring some treats. He likes it but thinks the button and twine make it look cute - of course! 

Hope you ALL have a wonderful weekend!

The spooky fence is from the Cricut Cartridge Happy Haunting. The paper is GCD Studios. The die cut (MCT) is supposed to resemble a moon.

This holder will fit three candies but as you can see we ate two before we took the side photo - HAHA Ooops.

Holder details can be found at original post HERE

Red, White & Blue Centerpiece

Hi Everyone!
Have I gone too far??? Someone needs to take the burlap from me before I wallpaper my house with it :) I LOVE it!
So I set out to create some tags for the 4th of July BBQ and Beach party we have every year. I just wanted some simple tags to decorate some gift bags for the kids. Well I saw these glass containers sitting in my cabinet and thought of my burlap obsession and well my tags got attached to these and now they are the centerpieces for the 4th table. I'll just have to make more tags. Hope you like my fun centerpieces, I plan to fill them with licorice and popcorn YUM! I have a great idea for summer centerpieces using the same vases...stay tuned :)

March - Card/Desk Calendar

Hi Everyone!
Hope your week is going well. We took a day off this week and went down south to San Diego to visit my family.  We had a nice visit and my niece is just growing so fast she's already 9 months. She is so precious!
So if you remember last month I made a desk calendar you can see that post HERE. I made it by using an easel card as the base for the calendar and I really liked it so I decided to make one for every month. So this is my card/calendar for March, of course I had to use a St. Patrick's day theme and of course I'm entering it in many challenges as most of them this week are St. Patrick's Day themed or use green - well I definitely used BOTH :)

Both of these adorable cuts came from the paper doll dress up cricut cartridge.

All of the paper is from my scrap drawer (yay!!) Except the card base it's coredinations
