Glitter Disaster!!




I'm posting this pic because I thought some of you might be able to relate. This morining I walked into my scrap room to be totally saddened by this glitter disaster!! My beautiful 2 yr old is the "natural" cause... She dumped out 4 bottles of chunky glitter, 1 bottle of prisma glitter, 1 tube of black glitter, a bottle of black embossing powder, 2 things of brads and I think that's it. The other sad thing is I'm a messy scrapbooker and I've really been working on things so the glitter was everywhereand all over everything. I had cleaned up a little when I thought I should take a picture to share with you... Anyhow, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, and if you are thinking about braving Black Friday.... Good Luck and have fun!! This other picture is of TessaLee, the darling 2 yr old!!

Christmas Present for my cousin...




I know that I have posted projects like this in the past but here is a Mini Legal Note pad folder with some envelopes. On my mom's side of the family we have a gift exchange with the whole family, cousins and all. I made this for my cousin Kallie. She has been through a lot. She had serious cancer as a teenager and didn't think she would would ever have kids... but just about a month ago she had a beautiful baby boy!! We're so happy for her!!

Christmas Bulb Card and Color Combo




I don't know how many of you have Cricut cutting machines but there is a great program that I just love called Sure Cuts A Lot 2 that is compatible with your Cricut. Sure Cuts A Lot has a forum that is FULL of free images to use with the Cricut. While I was looking for a tag I came accross this little purse and thought it looked a lot like a Christmas tree bulb. So this is my card for Jeanette's Color Combo. Be sure to check out her super cute True Fit Folio album for organizing Christmas activities!

Novemeber 9th Color Combo




Here is a darling card that I made for Jeanettes's color combo. I absolutely love the rich fall colors! Actually, I've thought about this color combo before!! I might have used Juniper instead of Twilight though. I used the Hello There stamp set that comes in the Twitterpated workshops and the Medallion template from Wishes book!

November 2nd Color Combo



If you haven't visited Jeanette Lynton's (founder of Close To My Heart stamping and scrapbooking) blog be sure to click on the link at the top of my page, it will take you straight there! Every Monday she posts color combo and creates beautiful pieces to show off those colors. I'm really not excited about the cold weather coming but I am absolutely in love with richness of the fall colors. This is a card I made using the colors from this Monday's color combo! The stamp set is Teasures, and is one of my favorites!!

November SOTM card


We have some friends that live in Seattle that have been waiting to move into their new home that they built in Cle Elum, Washington which is a little south of Seattle. So I was excited to have this stamp set to create a card for them. I made it using the November stamp of the month "Around the Block." It's a super cute set but for me a little hard to use. I'm never sure what or how to use some thing that is white. But all in all this card turned out cute I think. And as you can see I still haven't figured out the blurry part, even though I thought I had... I hope you all have a great day!
