I finally finished my page for the 4x4 time flies page swap.
This swap hosted on life on the {scrap} beach.

This is not what we wanted for Christmas!

Last night we had an unfortuntate encounter with a deer.

Now Kyle gets to shop for a new car.

Another Christmas Tag

For this tag I used a foil tag that I made. I made the flower using a leaf from plantin schoolbook Cricut. The Picture is from the Noel Collection from Bo Bunny.

Christmas Gift Tag

I finnaly got the chance to start making gift tags.

Why did we do this?

I thought I had a great idea for a cub scout activity. Lets have the boys dip chocolates. I am not sure we will do this again.

This is what happens when you have 9 wolf cub scouts (8 year olds) over to dip chocolates.The boys had a lot of fun. I really do enjoy being a scout leader.

Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of a mini I am working on for Thanksgiving.

Christmas Tree Card

The tree on this card is made using 2" scallop circles cut in half then folded.  The red paper is embossed with the cuttlebug snowflakes folder.

Another Christmas Card

This is a quick simple card. I used the Martha Stewart Alpine Snowflake punch. I gilttered the snowflakes and the edge of the white square. The paper is from Making Memories.

October card swap

Here is the card I made for my card swap group. I wish I could take credit for coming up with this idea. I got this idea from a card made by Mary from http://www.cardztv.blogspot.com/

Guess what I made. Another Halloween Mini!

This mini is alot darker than the other ones that I have made so far. I think this one is more my style.

Halloween Picture Frame

I love Halloween. I  can not get enough! Anyway I made this to go on a small table by my front door.

Card Swap Cards

Ok it  has been awhile sense I posted. I got slammed with Bronchitis again! After one painful shot and bunch of  antibiotics I am finally feeling better. It happens every year, the kids go back to school and then I get sick. I think it is time for flu shots.  Anyway here is the card I came up with for my card swap this month.

I am still learning how  to take a good picture!

I bottled Pickled beets. My kid can't wait to eat them.

Halloween Paper

I bought the cuttest paper at Michaels today, and wanted to share. I am sorry the video is so dark.

Granite Tombstones

I have had some request for instructions on how I made the tombstones on the front of my Halloween mini look like stone.
Here are some pictures of the steps to make them.

Step 1: cut image out of black card stock.

Step 2: apply UTTE (ultra thick embossing pwdr) I
use versa mark ink.

Step 3: melt with heat tool.

Step 4: apply silver embossing pwdr.

Step 5: melt with heat tool.

Step 6: apply 2 nd layer of UTEE.

Step 7: melt with heat tool.

I also did the ghost on the front cover, and the fence on the 

back page, using white embossing pwdr.  with the UTEE.

Halloween Mini

Here is my Halloween mini. I used several different paper collections. The cover is made out of canvas that I panted black and covered in glitter. I bound it using Laura Denisons (Following the paper trail) 3 ring binding method. Check out her blog it's a great place to find inspiration. Her link is on the left.
