Another clean and simple card made with Peachy Keen PKSC-19. This was just a scrap piece of paper that I was using to try out the stamps :) I tried a little something new to me. For the snow man and snow I used a white stamp pad and painted the ink on with a brush. Love the way it turned out. I guess I should have added a little sentiment???

Hi Everyone!
I sure hope you are all enjoying your day! It's a three day weekend for us so we have been relaxing from our crazy busy weekend. My son's soccer team made it to the beach cup finals so we had 3 games (yes three) this weekend. We are in 2nd place so it's been super fun but I have to say I was looking forward to having a little time off before we start basketball. Oh well:) 

I had just a enough time today to put together a Thanksgiving card for a few challenges. Have a GREAT day everyone!

Cutest Pumpkin....

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing okay and I sure hope all our friends near or in the path of Hurricane Sandy stay safe and we are sending well wishes!
Did you all see the challenge over at My Creative Time well I jumped at the opportunity to join this challenge. Not that I wouldn't have joined it anyway - I'm a bit addicted to her stamps and dies! You all know that I just had a new niece and she is just the cutest little thing, and as round as a pumpkin! So I think this tag is so perfect for the outside of the Halloween gift for our little Angel.

I started with one of Emma's dies - Maybe not exactly one you would think to use for a pumpkin.

I used the round ornament from the August release. Warm-Holiday-Fun-Stamp-Set 

I also used the ornament holder from the die set for the vines on the pumpkin to give it a fairy tale look :)

Happy Halloween!

Hi Everyone!
Whew...what a week! Work, Work, Work... I guess it's a good thing right? My last day is Tuesday and then I have two days off. ohhh I so need it :) Today I had a couple hours to play catch up before our family dinner and I decided to sneak off to my craft room and get my hands dirty. You'll understand once you see my card. 
I hope you have a fantastic week and I will be by to visit very soon to see what all my VERY creative friends have been up to :)

I started with a blue background and distressed the paper. I chalked it and inked it until my fingers were black & blue :) I just hand cut the stone hill and embossed it with a Tim Holtz Brick Embossing Folder and added more ink & Chalk

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

Fall is here!

Hi Everyone!

I've been so busy and wanting to get a few projects done, but time just zooms by. I finally decorated my house (so late this year) and when we finished my son said it's just too cute - we really need some spooky things Mom. He's eight so the smiling bats and glitter pumpkins are just not cuttin it :) 
Boy am I ready for some Fall weather! I was feeling in the mood for Fall today so I created a card for a few challenges. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday it's a fun one. I sure hope you all have a SUPER day, thanks for stopping by!

I followed the sketch and didn't change much - it was a really cool sketch and will use it again.

Precious Baby

Hi Everyone!

Just popping in to show you a baby tag that I made this weekend. I used three baby cards in the last three weeks so I really wanted to make a few more. Oh boy school starts tomorrow, my 8 year old is secretly excited - planning out his clothes and getting his pencil box ready. Most of his friends are not excited so I think my son is trying to play it cool :) They grow up so fast, I remember when he was going to preschool with a cape and rain boots - not at the same time - at least I don't think so :) 
Well here is my card, hope you enjoy it and your day!

Boo! "You've been Booed"

Hi Everyone!
I'm stopping in to share a cute little project. Have you heard of "You've been Booed" well if you have then you know it's a fun little game you play near Halloween. You secretly leave some treats on your neighbors doorstep and leave a little note letting them know they've been booed. It's a FUN game the kids look forward to during the fall. Typically, you pick one or two neighbors and then they pick one or two and so on..... But last year I noticed that a few were missed, so this year I thought I would still do a fun basket or two but I also thought I would make a few more simple treats for some of the older neighbors that love all our kids so much!

 It's a fun little door hanger. I haven't purchased the Art Philosophy cartridge but I did get the idea from the cartridge.

For the Door Hanger I used my gypsy and the Cricut Cartridges Tie the knot, George & Wild Card

The "Boo" is from the Cricut Cartridge Robotz & the ghost is from Mini Monster

 Door Hanger approx. 6" x 3

Paper - DCWV

Stamps - Eyes are from PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment 

& the mouth is from PK-532 PK-532 Simple Sallies 1 1/8"

Ink - Tim Holtz

Challenges:

Little Scrap Pieces - Stitch it (real or faux)
