Welcome Fall

Welcome!

So for the next couple of weeks I will be posting items that I have made for the holiday season of 2019, 

but couldn't post in case some of the recipients may have seen before I gave them as gifts.

This fall creation I am showing is something 

I actually made to hang on my door at work.

I love how it came out and it started with mostly 

Dollar Tree items that I purchased.

So here are the items I bought...

A white cutting board, 

some metal words (they came three words to a package),

Scarecrow heads (two to a package),

Fall bows (two to a package).

It was rather easy to put together and I added some ribbon, leaves and a few embellishments that I had around the house.

Here's what I ended up with.
 loved it up on my door at work this fall/Thanksgiving season.

Thanks so much for coming by and hope you enjoyed your stay.

Folding Folding Folding

Welcome!

I had to share this card I made from following
a video on YouTube from Mixed-Up Craft.
https://youtu.be/VW671zryukQ

I did it all in summery flamingos.
I purchased this paper at Michaels,
it was a Hot Buy pack.

It has a lot of folds, and a belly band.

Here it is partially open.

And here it is opened all the way.

This card was a lot of fun to make and not hard at all.
If you try it out I would love to see your results.
Share it in the comments below.

Halloween Goodies

Welcome!
I am here to share some Halloween Goodies
that I made this year.
I have been quiet on my blog, but not in the studio!!!

On these pieces of ephemera I added the cutest spiders and bats that I got online.
The rest of the materials were in my stash.

Aren't they cute?

Here are all the various ephemera I made.

I then added them to these gable boxes I got at Hobby Lobby last year and knew I would use them for something.
The big spiders were rings I purchased at the Dollar Tree.

 The foam stickers I had from last year as well.
It's great to know that I will eventually
use the items I stash away.

I hope you had a Happy Halloween and see you soon!!!

Summer is Over

Hello and Welcome!!!

I know I have not been around,

but I decided to take the summer off 

and fix up the outside of the house a bit.

After Hurricane Irma, we had some roof damage...

so we had to put a new roof on.

After that, hubby had the awesome idea of 
painting the outside of the house 
and a bunch of other things...

So we had, we really he had a busy summer.

I did help when I could, but hubby did most of it.

I will share the before and after once it is all done.

It almost is, but there are a few little things we still need to finish.

I just had to let you know I am still around,

and what took me away all summer.

I have also changed the look of the blog...
hope you noticed!!!
I was informed that it was hard to add a comment,
and that was one thing that I ask everyone to do if they can.
So I tried to rework it a bit and hope it is easier now.
Please let me know...
this blog is always going to be a work in progress!!!

Now on to one of my favorite seasons...FALL.

Not only does the heat go down a little here in Florida,

but Football starts up, school starts up

and the holidays are around the corner!

I have not been able to craft as much as usual,

but here and there I have been able to dabble a bit.

Here are a few things I was able to create...

This tunnel card was a lot of fun to make.

My first attempt came out well.

This hippo beach day panel card was a lot of fun to create.
They look like they are having a blast!

I love this side step card I made with the
dog house and puppies.

I am also getting ready to get a Silhouette Cameo 3,

and I am totally excited to learn and create with it.

If you have any tips and tricks, 

I would love it if you share with me.

I am glad to be back and can't wait to share how 

beautiful the house has come out.

Stay tuned and I will share as soon as I can.

Thanks so much for coming by...Take care!!!

Under The Sea

Hello and Welcome!

I purchased a Mermaid paper pad from Michael's 

and knew I had to make an album with it.

I made the closure a mermaid scale ribbon I purchased at Hobby Lobby and added little buttons I purchased there as well.

I also put silver metal corners on the front to protect it a bit.

Here's another look at the front.

Here is the album opened.

I made it so that the pages are on both sides,

the interlock with each other.

Here is when you open the flap of the first page.

I added die cuts of mermaids that I also made.

I also have pages inside the pages to pull out too.

So each page you can add 6 pictures or journaling.

There are 8 pages...so you can have 48 pictures in this album!

And the size of this album is 8 1/2 by 8 1/2.

So the pictures can be pretty big as well.

This is the next page from the other side.

And when you open that flap.

This is the back page.

This is showing the back of the album.

I put the silver metal corners on the back as well to protect it.

Here is one side of the album without the closure attached.

And the other side.

Isn't this paper just beautiful?

The paper just has a watercolor feel to it

and is very pretty.

Thanks so much for letting me share this album with you.

I had so much fun creating it.

Fairyland

Hello and Welcome!

This past week I created a couple of cards with 

this cute Fairy stamp set.

It is just so adorable.

This first one I used Distress Oxide inks for the background

and used all of the fairies together.

This next one I made more of a night sky with

Distress Oxide inks and spritzed some water for stars in the sky.

I know this is a short blog post,

but these two cards were so fun to make and I had to share.

Unicorn Party

Hello and Welcome!!!

This week I decided to use this stamp set 

I purchased with a whole bunch of partying Unicorns!

They are adorable.

This one I thought the two unicorns with balloons looked like they were flying, so I had to add paper that had clouds.

Colored the unicorns with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

and sprinkled some sequins.

Since I had the sequins out,

I decided to make a shaker card.

Instead of acetate though, I used vellum.

I just love this die with windows...

I know I have used it a bunch.

I die cut Happy Birthday out of gold paper,

so I also sprinkled gold watercolors all over the card.

I added a rainbow stripe background paper 

to go with all of the colors of the unicorns, 

as well as rainbow sequins.

These unicorns were so much fun to play with and I enjoyed creating these cards with them.

Thanks so much and Take Care!
