Playin Catch Up

I've been playing catch up lately, trying to get a bunch of cards done before the big holiday card season hits. Which is already knocking on the door. So here is one that I created today.

Items used: Patterned paper from the Silhouette kit, Juniper Cardstock, D1306 Treasure Life Stamp set, Designer Black Ribbon, Black Ink, Edge Distressor. (All items CTMH)

More Time.....Yay!!!

Now that the kiddos are in school, and I've started a carpool with another mom, I have more time to create. Woohoo. Although first I think I need to tidy up my desk. Whenever I start scrappin or baking for that matter, I end up making a huge mess. Does this only happen to me? Or are there others in the same boat as me? It's a good thing I have a maid husband who doesn't mind cleaning, the kitchen that is. He wouldn't dream of touching my paper crafting stuff. I'm so grateful for that cleaning gene he has, couldn't ask for a better husband. Anyways on to the card.

I created this the other day using an image I ordered months ago from Sweet N Sassy Stamps. It's a Sarah Kay image and I love all of her images, they are just beautiful. I colored it in using pencil crayons, I may try using a watercolor technique next time, just wanted to try it out first before I broke out the big guns (aka techniques). I layered the image on some pink carnation cardstock (I know retired, but it matched her little dress perfectly). Then pop dotted on patterned paper from the Sweet Pea kit, on a base of more Pink Carnation. It was missing a little something so I added some buttons to finish it off.

Catalogue Links are Fixed

I noticed that the catalogue links I had posted on the sidebar were not working properly so I've changed them and they all work perfectly now. Whew, I hate it when stuff like that happens. Anyways, now you can view all the catalogues for this year online. Remember, you can order items from any of the catalogues till the end of this year. Then they retire certain items.

Hope you are having a great week.

Trick or Treat

I know it's not quite Halloween yet but, I thought I'd get a jump start on some of my projects. I found these cute little Play-Doh containers at Costco, 80 for like $10 you can't beat that. It gave me a great idea for a fun little item that my girls could give their classmates at school. I found a perfect little stamp set that I ordered from a friend for the tops. I then cut out the layers of circles with my Nesties and covered the outside with a 1"x6" piece of stiped paper out of Last years catty, Enchanted.

I think they turned out really cute, whadya think? Now I can't wait to see the girls give them out in class. It's kind of a nice change for a Halloween treat minus the Sugar content. LOL

Fall Classes Line up

I know it's been a while since I've posted. Now that school is in full swing and things have settled into their routine, I can get back to what I love doing. The open house went well. I did the drawing for the Bag of goodies giveaway from the last catalogue period. Tisha's name was drawn, congrats Tisha, and I hope you like your stuff.

This Fall I'm starting up the Mom & Me classes again the first one will be held this Saturday at 10am. It should take about an hour to complete the project. If you would like to sign up for that class please let me know by Thursday. We are making a teacher's survival kit, filled with some items that they may need in a pinch. Such a fun gift to give your childs teacher.

Here is a sneak peek at next month's Mom & Me class. It is a Autumn Candy Jar. It will be a nice addition to any table.

I got this class inspiration from the PTI challenge a while back. This Thursday we will be making a Thanksgiving Place Setting, Including 1 Candle Centerpiece, 8 invites, 8 place cards, and 8 Thankful pages for people to write down what they are thankful for and take it home.
