Ornament or Gift Tag?

Good Friday morning!  It has been a super busy week and I am glad it is Friday.  Of course, there are so many things on my list for the weekend I will probably look forward to Monday.  There is one event scheduled for this weekend which is something I think every mom looks forward to and that is the baptism of one of their children.  My Sadie came to know Jesus as her Lord and Savior a few weeks ago and will be baptized on Sunday, it brings tears to my eyes just typing this so I know there will be tears Sunday, for joy of course.

Okay, enough about me and mine...on to my project.  I saw these ornaments on Kay Kalthoff''s Stamping to Share blog and had to make some.  They are made with the Designer Rosette Die which really cuts down on the amount of time it takes to make them since it not only cuts but scores the paper.  I punched out a circle for the back and stamped to and from on them so they could be used for a gift tag but I like them just as an ornament too. Thanks for stopping by!

Googly Ghouls

Good morning!  Today I have some quick and simple treat bags for Halloween, these take longer to fill the candy bags than to make.  I used the Ghoulish Googlies kit from the Holiday Mini, the kit contains the bags, the tags(with part of the stamping already done), and the Pumpkin Pie Baker's twine.  I  put my candy corn in a separate bag and then put the bag in the glassine bag.  I folded the top over and closed the bag with some clips I had in my stash.  You can also purchase the bundle
which includes the stamp set, Googly Ghouls, plus the kit which is what I used to finish my tags with.



I have a picture of Sadie I took this morning before school.  For those who know Sadie, you know that she is a little "fashionista".  This is the outfit she put together this morning.  She was a little worried that since the school has a no hat policy if her hair barrette which is a hat would be ok but she took a chance and wore it.  You can click on the photo to en large and see the hat better.  thanks for stopping by!

 

Bootiful Occasions

Good morning!  Today I have a cute Halloween card to share, I love the sentiment.  I think I will give this one to my Sadie sine she loves to shake her "booty".  She loves to turn the music up and dance, thankfully her room is upstairs so the loud music doesn't bother anyone too much.  This stamp set is called Bootiful Occasions and has a boot for Winter, Halloween, a rain boot, and a cowboy-girl boot.  Thanks for stopping by!

Cool Cats

Good morning!  Today I have a couple Halloween cards to share using the Frightening Feline stamp.  This was definitely on of my favorites when the new catalog came out and was on my first order.  I have got busy with other things and haven't used it much so I pulled it out yesterday. Thanks for stopping by!

Boo Banner

 

Good Monday morning!  I love making and displaying banners.  I made two of these, one for the mantle above my fireplace and one for my craft area.  The letter were cut using the Timeless Type sizzlit dies and framed with the Labels Framelit dies.  the DSP is from Howlstooth and Scaringbone collection.  I always cut the banner pieces using the chipboard that comes as backing in the DSP packages first and then layer the DSP on top to make it more durable.



I have to share a cute photo of Dalton I took Sunday morning(he sleeps in Sadie's bed and that is the reason for all the "pink" ).  He looked so cute! 

Affection Collection

Good afternoon!  Today I have a card that I made for a friend who is getting married in December, I know it is hard to believe I am actually early since I usually have to apologize for being late.  I bought this set, Affection Collection, from the Holiday Mini to use for Valentines but it will work for a wedding too.  Below is a view of the inside .

 

 

 

Yesterday was a gorgeous day here in southern Illinois.  It was also our Homecoming Parade and my Shelby is in band.  Below is a photo of the Middle School band, Shelby is in the front row, third from the left.  I am so proud of her, she is a beautiful girl on the inside and the outside.

 

 

 

Holiday Mini Ornament

I did it!  I finally got up the nerve to make the ornament on the front of the Holiday Mini catalog.  It is time consuming but really easy and I love how it turned out.  It is  a lot prettier IRL.  I will be having a class for these next month.  Thanks for stopping by!

Purple and White Day

Good morning!  Yesterday was Shelby's birthday and today is Sadie's.  Shelby turned 14 and Sadie is 9.  I snapped this picture this morning as they headed out to school, this is Spirit  and Homecoming Week at school so today was purple and white day.  My girls are growing up too fast to suit me, I wouldn't start over but I wish time passed a little slower.  I will be back a little later with a project.

Unity Sand

Good morning!  I recently had a friend to ask me to come up with something for a co-workers wedding to use for holding sand as part of their Unity ceremony.  Her colors were Wild Wasabi and Chocolate Chip.  I made a few samples but this is what she chose.  This is made with the Petal Cone die and the Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit.  Wedding items are my favorite to make.   Thanks for stpping by!

Bright Hopes

Good Monday morning!  Today I have another Christmas card using the Bright Hopes stamp set.  I love the color combination of Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla so I pulled out some retired DSP and came up with this card.  Very simple which is what I need right now as having time to stamp is becoming less and less.  Thanks for stopping by!
