What a crafting weekend...

This is the last post for a few days, but I just had to show you my latest creation. I didn't use the cricut on this card. I free-handed the pumpkin and moon. Then I inked them to give them a little dimension. I don't have any Halloween stamps (would love to have the new My Pink Stamper's Spooky Puns), so I wrote the sentiment with a black Sharpie.

These pictures aren't the greatest because I had to use my iPhone. I can't seem to find the cord to my camera so I can download pictures. I plan on doing a thorough search tomorrow evening. For now it's off to bed. Goodnight All!



Paper: The Paper Studio

Hopefully, I will have another crafting weekend like this one soon. I had such a great time. I love the challenges and will probably seek them out through the week so I have projects over the weekend. Thanks to Robyn with MyPinkStamper.com for the inspiration. She's the greatest! Without her, I may never have found my way back to paper crafting.

My Son Has Caught the Crafting Bug.

My son Kyler decided he wanted to make a card for his cousin's birthday this morning. My nephew turns 7 today and he loves Chevy's and Guitar Hero. Kyler did this card all by himself. He even came up with the saying. It was his first time stamping also. I think he did a great job. I LOVE THIS CARD!!!

I also made a card too. I think Kyler's is the best though. This goes to show you that even though the cartridge is called Rock Princess, it can be used for Rock Princes as well.

Now it's time to start getting everyone ready for school tomorrow. Maybe I will get to go to my craft area later tonight.

Halloween Signs

Wow, two posts in one day. I've been "working" very hard in my new craft area. I call it an area because I've taken 3 desks and an old dining room table and claimed one corner of our basement. I even used the ironing board to finish off the boundary. I love my craft area. I have shelves, but I have to get my husband to help me hang them.

Ok, enough. On with the next project. These pictures aren't the greatest. I made both of these as magnetic signs so I can hang them on the file cabinets at work.



Paper: Wausau
Glitter: Martha Stewart
Cricut Cartridge: Happy Haunting

My Pink Stamper winter challenge

 OK, so I didn't post things like I said I was going to, but our summer has been insane. We moved to a new town, once we got everything into our house (not put away), my mother-in-law decided she was going to move closer to us. That meant we had 35 years worth of stuff to move. Then my sister got married last weekend and I had the honor of making the wedding cake, a first for me. So now that all that is finished and school has started, we have a little time to breath.

So, now that I have the time to craft, this is my response to My Pink Stamper's winter cricut challenge. I hope you like it.
