Some M ore Halloween!

This is the last of my Halloween LOs! All of these were done on PP that I found in the dollar spot at Target! I got all four sheets in a pack for a buck! I can't believe how well they all work. I did not even plan it!

This one I used A/C Thickers, CTMH stamps for the Pumpkins, and I think it is a Fancy Pant Tree.


This was really easy! It was my oldest and it is all Grunge board, paint, and Glimmer Mist.


I love this one! It is of my DD and the PP matches the purple flowers she is standing in front of! I used my new stamps and brads from Wendrie -- my SS!


This is another one I am please with! The Robot stamp is from a recycled stamp set I was part of at SG and the rest is from my stash!


I must confess, not getting SG is hard, but it is forcing me to use my stash which is great! TFL!

Personnal LOAD

On Obsessed Scrappers United Kylie has started a "Layout A Day" (LOAD) challenge. Each day one of us post inspiration and then we can use that inspiration or not, but we have to complete a LO. So, two of these LO are from the LOAD challenge and the other is a rather simple Halloween LO I did of the children using Black Color Core CS, CTMH stamps, Queen and CO Felt, and it GLOWS IN THE DARK. Not my favorite LO, but wanted to show you because it does indeed glow in the dark. I am going to ***try*** upload a LO a day here as well! I said ***TRY***. LOL! Leave me some love! TFL!

My First ATC Card!

Here are my very first attempts at ATC. The theme of the swap is "All About Me". I hope I did these correct and I know some of them may be a stretch or to general. There were ten categories with nine cards in each -- yep 90 cards total! This has taken me about six weeks to put together, but it was a lot of fun and I could be addicted! Please leave me some feedback.

Road trip is for the "cars" Category. I don't really care what I drive as long as I can take it on a road trip because that is my favorite thing to do. I used liquid glass on the license plate to make it look more realistic.
Coffee is for the "Beverage/Food" Category. Coffee (now decaf) is my favorite thing to drink! I used liquid Applique to make the steam and liquid glass to make the coffee look more realistic!

Pets and Colors are next! I did not have dogs and cats growing up, but birds! I used a clear button on top of a small picture of a bird to make my own button!
My favorite color is purple, so I did my ATC using eggplant wash (thanks Wendrie! My Secret Sister), Glimmer Mist, paint, and then Stikles.

For the Hometown and Rock star I did something a bit out of the box. I don't listen to as much Rock as I do country, so I put a cowboy hat on top of my girl. I made it glow in the dark! So those of you that are getting my ATC card leave this one in the light for a bit and then take it into a pitch black area and it will glow! For Hometown I went with the theme of it being always hot and often times, if I am home alone, I will not wear much. That is why this card you can see the naked lady through the window!

For the fashion category I just tried to find something that I think represents my taste and that is timeless and often times silly! I used to wear heels all the time (would now, but since I am at home it is not practical) I had to show that too! For the Relative category I focused on the common trait of the women in my family have and that is we are all artistic and love love love art! I also used a circle to showcase my favorite part of the portrait.

These were the most fun for me to put together and that is my childhood character and book cards! For childhood category I did it on Minnie Mouse just because I used to watch a lot of cartoons when I was younger. I paper pieced Minnnie and used my Cricut to cut her out. I then added Pop Dots to adhere her to the card. Can you guess my very favorite childhood book? No, well once I tell you the title it will all make sense! Do you remember the book "Freckle Juice"? Yep! This is my "Freckle Juice"! I added liquid glass once again to make it look more realistic!

My 3 Reasons

A quick LO I did!

A Few New Things!

I know that I have been missing in action -- but not because I have not been scrapping! I have been doing that and some altering! Here is just a taste of a few things I have been doing. One is just a fast LO I did of Annie and I trying to get the perfect picture. The other two pics are of the count down Christmas clipboard I made (you have seen it on the blog) and the matching mailbox that has the 12 days of Christmas in it. The mini book is pictured as well. It is 12 days worth of activities for our family to do together this season. See, we have been taking a bit of a financial hit like the rest of the country and we wanted to make it special so I came up with 12 activities that are fun and cheap! Some of them are traditions and others are new! We will start this on Dec. 5. On that day the children do the German trad ion of writing a letter to St. Nick and putting it in their shoe outside. SC comes by and picks up the letter and then leaves a small treat in its place. Some other activities are driving around with Hot Cocoa and looking at lights, watching a Christmas movie with popcorn (at home of course), making Thank You cards for after Christmas to send out, decorating cookies, baking treats, visiting Santa, picking out our yearly decoration, and decorating a Gingerbread house for out center piece on our breakfast nook table. If you want to do this with your family, but don't have a lot of time, just take a jar and cut up stripes of paper and have the kids pull one each day! TFL!

Christmas Clipboard and LO with New SG Kit!

SG has been a happening place this last week! I completed this darling count down to Christmas calendar last weekend! It was Aleta's class and I LOVE how it turned out!

This month's technique is felting, so I completed these LO using the technique! I love felting, but it takes forever. This is something that should be done when watching TV! LOL! TFL and leave some love! ;-)

LOs I Completed @ Bobbie's!

I went on a visit to see my friend Bobbie and we scrapped some, wine tasted, had yummy meals that her DH made, and shopped. It was a great time and just what I needed. Here are the 12 by 12 LO's I completed at her house. I also got two mini albums done! TFL!

My favorite one I did all weekend! I love love love this paper and the purple matched my little girl's dress!

I am so behind on my Kid's school Album! She is in first grade now and this is the first day of kindergarten LO!

This is Annie's graduation from Kindergarten page. Thanks for the paper Bobbie! I really like it!

Just a LO I did of my daughter.
