Halloween Gnome's

For any one who doesn't know, my hubby is very creative and crafty too. This past summer he and Hayley were joking about being Gnomes for Halloween.

Two weeks before Halloween and he started designing and making these costumes. Yup, that's right, no pattern, nothin'. He went to the material store by himself, picked all the fabrics, by himself.

And sewed these by himself. I'm so proud of him. Hayley was over the moon and played the role of gnome very well.

They were a smash hit at very house they visited.

Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #88

I haven't done one of these challenges in awhile. Geez, you'd think I was workin' or something!?!? Another night of using new stuffs. I found this great DCWV paper pack. 70%RECYCLED PAPER!!! The Green Stack (at Chapters). It just turns out it goes great with TPC Studio "Woodland Whimsy" clear stamps!! I had to check twice, to make sure they were two different company's.

I used some scrap's from the draw and SU's Riding hood red, LOVE IT ink! I outlined some of the stamped image with a "atyouSpica" Red pen. Some bling and voila!! A birthday Card!!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #18

Howdy, I've been really busy and itchin' to get into my craft room. I decided I want to use ALL of my stamps which have not been used yet. (Yah, we'll see how that goes) I did need a sympathy card and have been wanting to use this SU set for awhile "Thoughts & Prayers" I also used for the first time CTMH's Adhesive backed Twill.

I used SU's Kraft and chocolate chip card stock. The ink's were anything I could find that would match the colors in the challenge, which showed me, "I don't have alot of markers!" at least not in the colors I need, hmmmmmmmmmmmm, what will I do??

CPS 137

Happy Thanksgiving (Canada)! Hubby's whole crew from Kitchener came in this weekend and it was Melinda's Birthday. I made this card using this weeks CPS. The only thing is that I forgot to give it to her. There was just so much going on. So it'll make it's way to the mail. Sorry Melinda. Happy Birthday!

I used Papertrey Ink's "Everyday Button Bits" and things I had right in front of me on my desk!!!

More Birthdays

Three posts in one night! I've been running at night more and it's keeping me out the craft room.

I made these cards for my niece and nephews birthday this past weekend. "A Child's Year" from Cricut is my new favorite cartridge!! Sooooo many silhouettes!

I flipped the boy image so mom could pose them like book ends.

AND this is the desert I brought. If you are looking for an amazing! easy! desert this is it. It's from Bakerella's blog. It was a smash hit.

Bye to Mary

I made this card for Mary. I used Lauren Meaders color challenge. I had no idea what kind of card to make for someone who quit their job. She gave her two week notice and now she's gone and the place is not the same since she left. You'll be missed Mary.

I used SU's Pendant park stamp set with masking technique. I love this stamp set.

My sister turned 40!!

After Ceecee turned 50 my sister turned 40. Check out this pic I took of her at her party. I think she's smokin' hot!!!
