Thanksgiving Cards

These are the Thanksgiving day cards that I came up with for my son to give the local nursing home. I used the Close to My Heart stamp set Natures Vein to create the background, I love this set. Then I printed out the saying using the computer, this design came to me as a last minute idea and it worked out beautifully.

Our first snow of the season

It snowed so much that you could barely see these two when they were playing in it and then they pouted like little kids when I made them come in. They are such cuties!!


Halloween Crafting at my house

These are some of the projects that I did with my nephews and niece when they spent the weekend before Halloween at my house. They had such a blast adding the bling and gluing things together, I love crafting with them!!!!

Its been forever since I have posted!

I have not felt like I really have had much to post because I haven't been doing a lot of crafting!! I did do a little of Halloween crafting some of it was because I wanted to and some was because I had no choice. Wow reading over my last sentence makes me realize how bad its been. I have loved crating before now when I do it I only do it when I am forced to. I have to change that and get back to my happy place!!

Ok here are that Halloween cards that I made for my friends and family this year. I used Happy Hauntings for the ghost and because I was to lazy to get my Big Shot out to add texture to the card I just used a sponge to add ink so that it looked like it was textured a little.

I made this for my hubby

My husband asked me to make a jar to hold his paint brushes and he LOVES Halloween so he asked for it to be Halloween themed. I cut out images from the TH holiday paper and used Glossy Accents to do the crackle look on it. I hate using Mod Podge so I just used Scor Tape to attach it to the jar. I was really happy with how this turned out and my husband loved it and had to show it off to everyone.
