The newest winter visitor.. (again)...

I've been wondering why all my birdseed has been disappearing so fast!!

I scrapbooked a picture of my sweetie making his famous chicken parmesan. (pardon the sticky over him, he's just funny that way).. anyway, this was a real fun layout to do, used my handy cricut, and some papertrey ink stamps. Took me all day to make this layout, but I like the way it turned out.

I had so much fun making this card. I made one for my friend and one for my boyfriends parents. Loving the cricut!!

Here is my try at one of the recipe cards again. I actually made two of these as my girlfriend wanted the recipe as well.. so why not give her a cutey-patootie card instead of a plain ol recipe card. I cut the chicken out with the cricut. I am SO loving that cricut. I am finding that I "need" all the cartridges. Some I have had a while and haven't used yet.. BUT... I will get going on that soon. Whoops.. this is backwards, the top one if the back of the recipe card... I LOVE from my kitchen cartridge too!!

My mom with the quilt I made her for Christmas. I think she liked it. It was my first quilt, and I was pretty proud of it. Its super soft and warm as it is made out of flannel.

Here is a Christmas card that I made, that I really like. The top picture is the outside, and the bottom is the inside.. I wish I could've made more of this, but I ran out of the snowman paper. I am really trying to do more on the "inside" of the card too, so its special. What do ya think?

Another one of my Christmas cards I made. This one I used the cricut for, I used the wording from winter woodland. I also was digging around, and found my stampin up wheels. It has been FOREVER since I used them, so I found me a christmas one, and voila... a patterned background. What do ya think.. more to come in the next couple days... stay tuned ;)

Today was a "Play day" for me. I worked on my Christmas cards ALL day so far. The country music awards are on tonite, so I plan on staying in my stamp room all afternoon working on stuff, all the way through the awards. I hope I get alot done. I made a few of each sample that I am going to show. I wish I could do the "mass-producing" all of one card, but I just did 4 of each.

I finally got the vintage picnic set. Love it!! I colored it with both copics, and prisma pencils. I pierced all around the edge of the die. I also used the bakers twine, LOVE that stuff. More to come.....

Here is a picture of our "Spook House" from last night. We got this little "playhouse" this summer, it is built out of logs, inside and out. A girl I work with was going to give it away. I couldn't wait to get it! What really sold me on it, was the covered porch. I have always wanted a covered porch, and now I have it on our playhouse. We had a fun time last night, I will post more pictures soon...

What more can I say, other than "ADORABLE".. Petey-dog is the best dog ever!

As I was going through some pictures on my computer, I ran across this one, and wanted to share it with you all. This was taken in our neighbor and dear friends driveway!!! A mom and two of her cubs, and there were 2 other cubs that ducked into the corn before the picture could be snapped. Isn't this amazing? I hope she doens't get mad that I am sharing this picture on the web, but I just wanted to share it. It is one of my favorite pictures.

I know this isn't a papercrafting project, but it is one of my projects for halloween. I LOVE halloween, and LOVE decorating for it. This summer we acquired a "playhouse" that is a little log cabin. I will post pics of that soon too, but for now, our playhouse is going to be a spook house, and this lil guy is sitting in his rocking chair under the covered porch part of the playhouse. We got all kinds of lights hooked up inside and outside, and it will be really neat looking for halloween. I just hope its not supercold out that night so we can enjoy a nice backyard fire enjoying the outside lights. So anyway, this is "Jack Wagon" after that geico commercial. What do ya think?

Halloween

One of my halloween cards I have been working on. I love this image. Isn't he just the cutest little thing???? Halloween is probably my favorite holiday, I LOVE decorating for it, and love making cards for it. More to come in the next few days.. stay tuned, and spread the word so I can get more followers...c

More cricut fun. This guy I didn't emboss at all, but I did pop-dot him and that was it. Added the googly eyes for fun, but wasn't sure what to do with it to make it "pop".. Wish Donna Mundinger could help me out!! So, I ended up just outlining his features with marker. I will hide this for the boyfriend when he gets home from work tonite.

Another attempt at playing with my cricut. This card I am sending to my Mom. She loves dogs. I pop-dotted this one too, (can't tell though). Used the stampin up embossing folder on his top layer. Fun to make. I hope she likes it.

I have been playing with my cricut lately. (I think I just needed some inspiration and got it). This was fun to make as he kinda looks like my dog. I am a huge fan of Donna Mundinger's work (popsicle toes), she inspires me to keep playing. I can NOT figure out how she welds some cuts together. I wish we lived closer and she could come on over and help me out. :) But anyway, until I get that figured out, I will keep playing and just put them on regular shaped cards for now. I pop-dotted this lil guy 3 times, although you can't tell in thepicture. And ran the top layer through a stampin up embossing folder. TUrned out kinda cute.. what do ya think?

Just thought this was a pretty rainbow, so snapped a picture of it. I havne't taken a picture of rainbow in years.. MANY years.

This is from my new animal kingdom cricut cartridge. I can't remember the gals name that made a card like this, but her chalking amazed me!! So... I had to try. I forgot that I gave my chalks away, so I had to improvise with PTI's snow white ink and a q-tip. It turned out okay, but not as good as the other gals, man.. hers was AMAZING!!!! I ended up making 4 of these, trying to mass produce, thats why I left a sentiment off the front, will stamp something as I need it.. (birthday, thank you, whatever it may be). I have to learn more how to mass-produce cards, my stash is waaaaay too low.

Halloween

I wanted to ink up a few stamps that I haven't used before, and this was one of them. I fell in love with this lil guy when I seen him on wild sprinkles blog. Adorable right? Anyway, just made up a quick card with the lil guy. Isn't halloween the best holiday. I have so many adorable halloween stamps, I have to find more people to send cards too. Enjoy
