Squiggle Stamps GDT

I used Squiggle Stamps, Daisy with Bunny for this card. I thought it was the perfect image for a baby girl card. I tried to go clean and simple with this one.

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Happy Thanksgiving

Here are some place markers I made for Thanksgiving Dinner. I used a quickutz pumpkin and Nesties. These will sit on top of our dinner plates at the table.

Scrappy Frog has a challenge "Thanksgiving Dinner". My favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner is the mashed potatoes and gravy. What is yours?

A recipe & Nutshells challenge

Here's another recipe card I did using TGF digital kit, called Dirty Sugar. The recipe is one from my next door neighbor. Two years ago she brought a plate of goodies over to us for Christmas. I loved these peanut butter balls and asked her to bring me some over again the next year for Christmas. lol. These are really easy and taste yummy.

Today is another Nutshell's Challenge. The theme is "thank you's". Don't have a nutshell stamp, you can use any brand sold in Nutcrafters (TGF, HH, Sarah Kay, Stampavie).

I used this cool KI design paper, it is shimmery but didn't photograph well. I kept this pretty simple since I used the sparkly paper. CCT's theme is sparkle.

Nutshells challenge

One more day to play along with Nutshells Challenge #3. There are free stamps up for grabs! You have a great chance to win since there aren't that many entries this week.

The theme is shaped cards. You can use a Nutshell stamp if you have one or any stamp that Nutcrafters sells ie TGF, High Hopes, Sarah Kay, & Stampavie.

Squiggle Stamps GDT

This is one of the first Squiggle Stamps I ever saw and is by far my favorite. This image is called Monster Boy. These whimsical images are so fun to use.

I used this Crate Paper from my stash and used my Nesties a bunch for this card.
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Monday.

My son's birthday project

I promised a while back to post a pic of a sewing project I was working on. My son had a super hero birthday party end of September and I sewed these capes for him and my daughter. They love playing with them and I love the way they turned out.
Thanks for taking a look

TGF Dirty Sugar & a recipe

I decided to do something different with my digi kit this time. I made this super sweet recipe card. I love this buttercream recipe because its super simple and yummy. Here's a pic of some cupcakes I made with this recipe. The best part of doing digital recipes is that you can print them off and give them as a gift. It's a great way make a gift for multiple people at once.

An Award

A couple of gals were so sweet to think of me and passed this award to me. Claudette and Penni have the coolest blogs. Thanks so much for thinking of me ! Claudette has a TGF wallpaper freebie on her blog right now. And Penni is our Guest Designer over at Nutshells this month and doing a fabulous job!

I'd like to pass this award on to my sweet DT friends for Nutshells and Digi TGF.

Squiggle Stamps Guest Design Team

I'm so excited to be a guest Designer for Squiggle Stamps this month. I love the fun images. If you haven't seen their images you should go take a look. I used Snowflake Daisy for this card and some Imaginisce paper.

I borrowed the sketch from SFOS and the color combo from Copic Colour Challenge.
I didn't have R85 so I used R46. SSS wanted a Thank you. DD wants to see felt, like my snowflake.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Happy Monday!

Nutty Nutshells #3 & TGF Dirty Sugar

If you haven't heard, Nutshells has a challenge every other Wednesday. This gives you two weeks to play along! Today is the start of a new challenge which is "Shaped Cards". So any shape besides traditional rectangle or square. I used an image from the Midsummer Nutshells set.
Wanna play along? Hop on over and take a look!
And here is the new digi kit from TGF, its called Dirty Sugar. Maybe you've seen the paper pack from TGF called Dirty Sugar. So this digi kit has many of the same papers and digital elements that coordinater with it. These pics are from when my baby girl turned 5. We had lots of family and friends come over for dinner and to help us celebrate.

TGF but not a digi

So, finally a TGF card but not a digi project. I've really been loving using the fabulous digital kits for scrapbooking projects but have been dying to ink up this new Anya set that has been sitting on my craft spot for weeks and weeks.

I used Dressy Miss Anya and this cottage from Alota. I thought they went perfect together. SSS wants to see some sparkle so I used the pearls and her shoes have a rhine stone on them. Also Copic Colour Challenge wants to see colors R20, YG06, & E33 ( I had to improvize on the YG06 since I don't own it).

Thanks for stopping by today! We had a fabulous Halloween. My kiddies got more candy than they could eat in a year!

Candy Winner

Thanks everyone for all the gorgeous girl names. I definitely saw quite a few names that caught my eye. Hopefully by the time baby comes I will have names narrowed down.

I picked a winner using Random.org. I had 253 entries after I got rid of duplicates.
I don't know how to paste the pic of the random.org box into my blog, so you'll have to take me word for it.
So the winner of my candy is......

Result: 19


Tammy
Please send me your address and I'll get this out in the mail to you.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!

Next stop on the hop is the super sweet Debbie. Please join us in supporting this wonderful young woman.

Boy Journal

A couple weeks ago, I showed a journal I made for my daughter. So, here is the one I made for my boy. He wants to do everything his sister does, so I made him a journal to color in or to have us write in for him. This HH image is one of my very favorites. It might as well be drawn of my little guy. DCRU has a male challenge. PTW wants to see spots and stripes.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween! Yesterday it snowed here and hopefully it doesn't snow on Saturday.

The Greeting Farm Christmas Card

Here's a digi Christmas Card I did using TGF Merry Merry Digital Kit. I don't know about you, but I love to get Christmas cards with family pics on them. So I usually do a digi card for Christmas that I send out. This pic is from last year. We just got our family pics taken again for this year. Can't wait to see how they turned out.

So what kind of Christmas card do you usually send out? handmade, store bought, or picture card?

The Greeting Farm - Merry Merry 3

I love non traditional Christmas colors. I used TGF Digi Kit Merry Merry. I'm loving being on a digi scrapping DT. It makes me feel like I'm getting somewhere with my scrapbook pages.

Wanna know a secret? Do you see how I look kinda freaky in this pic? It's because in the original pic one of my eyes was closed so I cropped an open eye from a different pic into this. I know it looks kinda weird. I really wanted to use these pics to scrap a page on this topic, but didn't have one decent pic of myself that didn't have one or both eyes closed or a scary expression. LOL

Thanks for stopping by today.

Witch Shoes

I found this super cute template the other day and had to try it out. It was a really simple pattern and only took a couple minutes to cut and fold. You know how some patterns are like rocket science to figure out? Not this one. It has a pattern for the outside and inside of shoe (Like I did for the purple shoe) but I used a double sided sheet of paper for the others and it works great that way.
Here is the template. CCT theme is Spook.
Thanks for stopping by today

Clean Cookin Tilda

I love this new Tilda. I love to cook and bake, so any Tildas that are cooking theme are on my favorites list. I tried to do the CAS thing again and like this attempt more than some in the past.

I used the sketch over at SFOS and blue is the theme at Crafty Creations. Thanks for stopping by today!
