Reindeer wish

Happy November!  Can't believe it is here already!  Wow!  Time sure flies when you're having fun!!!  I made this card after seeing Archiver's recent newsletter with a similar card.  Have to give them credit, you know!  Mine isn't quite as dramatic as theirs.  I had the reindeer die so it was pretty simple to do.  The stamp is silver embossed.  I found the stick-on star in my stash.  How easy peasy is that!  OMG...Kaila has discovered my paper pads and is carrying one around my craft room!  That darn dog!  I better quit before everything is destroyed!  Have a good week!



My little witch!

OK...so this isn't a stamping project but it IS a crafting project!!!  I made this cute little witch costume for Kaila a few weeks ago.  We finally managed to get her to slow down and let me put it on her!  I have a cute little hat too but I KNOW that will never go on her head!!!  She didn't mind the costume at all once she got it on.  She wore it for several hours before we took it off for her to go chase her cousin in the snow.  I didn't want to get water spots on the satin.  So, we'll see how it goes on Halloween night!  Not sure yet how I will manage her by myself as she LOVES everybody that comes to the door and wants to jump all over them.  We don't get many kids so maybe it won't even be an issue!

Happy Halloween from Kaila and I!!!

Halloween Candy Jars

 

Here is a quick Halloween treat I made.  These are faces that I cut with my Silhouette and just put on the jars I purchased from Walmart.  Added a few ribbons and candy and they were done!  I ordered the candy from Nuts.com.   Have a great weekend!

 



More Twisted Halloween cards

I made quite a few of these twisted Halloween cards.  I decided to pick a few views of 3 different cards to share today.  These are really fun cards to make!  I used all sorts of embellishments and a few stamps here and there.  It's a great way to use up some of your stash and have fun doing it!

 

We had temps in the high 70's and low 80's today.  Thursday and Friday will be much much much colder - and snow is in the forecast too.  I must say I am looking forward to the change!  The weather should be warm again for Halloween so all the trick-or-treaters will be able to get out and get their goodies!  Kaila will be a witch and she has NO interest in putting on her cute costume I made her.  I think the sound of velcro scares her so she runs away as soon as I get the dress out.  Maybe one day I will get a picture of her but it's not looking too good!



Holiday gift bag

While my hubby was setting up my new computer, I worked on some gift bags for the holidays (and tried to keep Miss Kaila out of trouble!!!).  These are just kraft paper bags from Hobby Lobby.  I had already cut the doggy out with my Silhouette and added a little glitter to his collar.  The other diecuts are from a sheet of cardstock with punch-outs that has been in my stash awhile.  I added the dog paw ribbon to the top.  I also made a diecut and put the recepient (doggy's name) on it.  It is attached up at the top with the bow so it looks like a collar tag.  I have several more of these to make for all the doggies in the family.

We are having a beautiful day here in Colorado so we decided it was time to get started on putting up some of our xmas lights.  It's much more pleasant putting them up when it is warm than when it is freezing cold and windy.  So, we got the ones up on all the trees in the front.  We still have lots left to do but did get a good start on it.  Bill is gone so much so we have to do things when we can and our days of warm weather are numbered!  Enjoy your day!



Trick or Treat

Another Halloween card today.  This is a tag that I made from some Tim Holtz paper.  The background of the tag is his paper.  I distressed the edges with purple ink.  The diecuts are from my Silhouette.  The trick-or-treat badge at the top is a stamp and die by Making Memories.  The spider is a glittery foam I had in my stash.  The cute witch is by Graphic 45.  I added a bit of glittery orange tulle behind her.  I stamped the spiderweb with a very old stamp and I don't have the manufacturer. 

I got a new computer for my craft room today so lots of learning to do.  My ancient computer got way too slow for me to operate the programs I use for crafting so it was time to update.  It's amazing how much better this is!

Have a fun weekend!





Just buzzin' by to say...

Yesterday in the newspaper there was an article about a 12 year old boy who was going to have brain surgery.  He was in a bad accident 6 years ago and has been in and out of surgery since.  His Dad is in the military so the family just moved to Colorado and he will have to undergo more major surgery.  They didn't know many people so the newspaper put out a card request to help him get through the surgery.  Of course when I saw that, I jumped on it.  I enjoy sending out cards to those in need.  So here is my card.  The skateboard dude is a SU stamp.  The papers are all from a pad by Basicgrey.  I used a Spellbinders die for the pennants.  The sentiment is also SU.  The colors are more vibrant in real life.  I'm off the the mailbox to get this out to him!

Have a fun day!
