Crazy Cat

Evening Everyone!
Hope your work week is starting out great. This week I have Halloween stuff to share. I loves me some Halloween!! The cat and sentiment is from PTI Spooky Treats 2. The pattern paper is some more of that fun FREE digi paper from Becky Oehlers, it is actually supposed to be black and orange bats however, my black in cartridge is out so it came out grey. No fear, just work with it right?? The orange is CTMH Autumn Terracotta that I ran thru a spider web cuttlebug folder. I cannot tell you what kind of grey paper that is, it was in my scrap stash it is metallic like and pretty kewl though. The black paper is DCWV. I punched out the scallop circle from SU scallop punch. The nifty silver on the scallop is liquid pearls platinum. I had a lot of fun making this card I just love Halloween and all the candy and kids dressing up. Hope you enjoyed your stay and the view!!! Thanks for coming. C U 2morrow!!!
Cheers!

New Hobby

Happy Sunday Folks!!!!
Well...I have discovered a new hobby! Sheesh, like I needed a new one. My friend Gina and I, my mom and some other friends took a jewelry class at JoAnn on Friday night. We had so much fun, first we started with dinner then the class!! Always gotta add dinner when ever you meet
the girls for anything!! My soul purpose to take this class was to learn how to make a bracelet after I saw Nichols post on making paper beads
I just fell in love with it and soooooo wanna make some for Christmas gifts. This is the earring and bracelet ensemble I made in class. Since then Grace and I have made bracelets too. She wants me to post those so I will after I take some pics. Thanks for stopping by today check out Gina's blog and the earrings and bracelet that she made. Super cute!!
Cheers!

Cappuccino Anyone

Bon jour!
Hope your day has been well. Gracie was out of school today for teacher inservice so we got to go shopping and "do lunch". We had a great time just she and I. Just the girls, doin' our thing. She got some pretty fake finger nails too. This is the first pair she has had. It has been quite funny to watch her, even though they are not long at all, she cannot seem to function. She cannot open the bag of crackers, or put her stuff in her backpack, lets see if she can brush her teeth tonight. Teehee. Annnnnyway. Today I have another coffee card to share. I used the same paper pack and stamp set from a few post ago. The pattern paper is CTMH Harvest, the cs is CTMH Autumn Terracotta and the brown is PTI Dark Chocolate. I sponged the AT cs to match the
distressing of the pattern paper. I added white dots all around to jazz things up a little bit. I like
fothy coffee so I added liquid applique. The hardware is from SU antique finish Hodgepodge Hardware. So that is it in a nutshell. Thank you for visiting me. When I finally get 10k hits I will have some Blog Candy. Yea!!!!
Cheers!

More Digi Paper

Hi Ya! Hope all is well. I am not finished playing with my FREE digi paper from Becky Oehlers yet so here is another card. Same colors and supplies as last post however, I used a stamp from
TAC called Love and Laughter. I love this stamp set and the beautiful sillhouettes it makes. I am not quite sure what I want the sentiment to be on this yet or if I want one at all. I guess it is okay to not have a sentiment on a card huh??? TFL enjoy your tomorrow!!!
Cheers!

Papertrey Purple

Happy Sunday All!!!
I hope you are enjoying the last day of the weekend. I wanted to share a card with you today that I made for a friend at work that LOVES dragonflies. I stared off with PTI Lavender Moon
and Plum Pudding card stock, ink and ribbon. Even with how thick the PTI card stock is you are
still able to run it through the cuttlebug and embossing folder just fine and dandy. I used the argyle folder here. I {heart} that folder! I stamped the dragonfly from CTMH Flutter set. Then I ran it through the cuttlebug cutting and embossing an oval shape. Trying to do something a little different with the ribbon I chose to display it like this. The sentiment is from PTI Mailbox Greetings. All in all it is a simple card but Christine LOVED it. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great rest of the weekend. Craft On Sisters!!
Cheers!

SCS Challenge

Hello!!!! Happy Friday!
I wanted to play along with SCS Limited Supplies Challenge today! Our instructions were to use Orange (any shade) and Coffee. Well, I loves me some coffee so I HAD to play. Here is my take.
I used CTMH Coffee Shop and paper pieced it using CTMH Harvest paper pack. (Same paper pack as the leaf card a few entries down)and stamped "coffee" on the Colonial White back ground. For the sentiment I used PTI Floral Frenzy (Hello). The Dark Chocolate cs is PTI (yum) and so is the ribbon (yum again). I used real coffee grounds in the liquid applique to add even more texture and the hardware used is SU hodgepodge in antique finish. The coffee panel is raised on pop dots. The card came together pretty quickly and is 5x5. I don't use that size very much but the coffee cup is large and I thought it would look better on a bigger card. Thanks for
visiting me today. I hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend!!!
Cheers!

Still Scrappin'

Gooood Mornin'! Nice to see you this am. Today I am sharing a layout I did of a wedding pic of my mother and father-in-law from December 1956. I had redone their entire wedding album into photo safe scrap book. I had a few duplicate pics that I saved for myself and hubby. I just broke this one out a couple of weeks ago. I copied this layout concept from Scrapbook Trends Magazine August issue. I TOTALLY LOVE that mag. Although it is a little expensive, the artwork is phenomenal. I used a pack called Wedding Day from Creative Memories. I cut out some of the pattern paper to use as embellishments. The scallop piece is also CM Legacy die cuts. I used fake dew drops. I don't know what brand that brown and green card stock is. I got it in a monthly kit many moons ago. The definition of Cherish and Forever (at the top you cannot see it) is Making Memories. All the circles were punched with CM circle punch and all the edges were inked with Cats Eye chalk ink. I hope you have enjoyed looking at this today and hope you are inspired to go make a page today! Thanks for stopping by!!
Cheers!

Birthday Boy Invites

What is up??? I hope all is well for you on this Tuesday evening! I wanted to share these two cards with you. I have a friend at work, Louise (aka Weezie) Hi Weez! :-).
Weez needs me to make birthday/Halloween invites for a 14 year old boy! What? I don't know anything about 14 yo boys!!! So hear is my attempt at cool invites that are not dainty or girly.
I don't know...what do you think? Can you lend me suggestions on 14 boy birthday invites??
I used Night of Navy cs from SU and Grey Wool and Flannel Gray cs from CTMH. The stamps are CTMH Extream caps (DUDE) and Delightful Alphabet (PARTY) and the Your invited sentiment is from Celebration also CTMH. Oh, and the ink is Grey Wool and Out Door Denim from CTMH.
Thanks for seeing me today!!
Cheers!

Scrap Happy!!!

Sup?
Hope you all have enjoyed a 3 day weekend. I have. But man it has been HOT! So, what is a girl to do? Stay in an air conditioned scrap room and craft away! I have been working on an album of
baby Logan well, I have put pictures in it yet but that is coming. The album is a super cute 6x6 flip album that "stands up" on a desk or coffee table. It will hold 24 pages. So it has taken me a little while because I will work on it then work on cards. Anyway. Here are a couple of pages that I did. Through out the entire album I used BasicGrey Oh Baby Boy collection. I got it at Hobby Lobby a few months ago on clearance for guess what.......$3.49. Holy Schmoly what a deal considering the collection was $17.99. I bought it before we knew Logan would be a boy, so I think I made out like a bandit. The stamped animals are from CTMH Life's A Jungle colored with
colored pencils and gamsol. The bar code (my new FAVORITE) is by CTMH Code it. It is a super cute stamp set for only $13.95. I posted a couple of close up's of it that I used on these two pages.
I am ready to put pics of that sweet baby in here. Thanks for your visit!!!!
Cheers!
