Thankful

I am thankful for many things. I am thankful for a wonderful family. I am thankful for this beautiful time of year. I'm thankful to be able to create things that make me and the people I give them to happy. And I am thankful for you sweet people and your thoughtful and encouraging comments.

I had this thought of making some cute little Thanksgiving hangings. It's just waiting for the perfect frame. I'm planning on making one with the bears dressed up as pilgrims too.  There just aren't enough cute Thanksgiving decorations.

I made a scrapbook page! I can hardly believe it. I haven't taken the time to scrapbook for a while. The Peachy Keen "Let's Face It" challenge was to make a card or scrapbook page showcasing your muse (inspiration). I have inspiration that comes from all sorts of people, things and places. However, my greatest source of inspiration is my husband. He inspires me and he supports me in everything I do, and I love him SO much. So, this is for you, sweetheart!

I'm also entering this in the My Pink Stamper challenge. It was to make something cute. I think this turned out pretty cute.

Items Used:

Paper Playtime Challenge #19

I made this pretty simple, but kind of elegant thank you card. I added little adhesive pearls for my embellishments. I hope you enjoy and have a good evening.

The thank you is from storybook and the cute scalloped edge is from Once Upon a Princess.

Candy Corn Treat Bags

These little treat bags are for a treat swap up at the Cricut Swarm. I love candy corn and I hope some of the other ladies do too.

The little shape at the top is from Gypsy Wanderings and the candy corn is from Doodlecharms. The cute stamp Sweets for the Sweet is by My Pink Stamper's Spooky Puns. Below is a picture of the treat bags together.

Halloween Tags

I am going to the SLC Swarm tomorrow and they are doing some swaps. One of the swaps is a Halloween tag swap. I had a few different ideas and made six of each and then I ended up choosing my favorite and made an extra 10.

This idea was a pretty traditional tag with a cute bat shape at the bottom and the sentiment bats about you! This one turned out to be my favorite. The bat is from Paper Doll Dress Up. I couldn't decide which way I liked the ribbon best so there are some of each.

One idea was a simple jack-o-lantern tag. The treat pail is from Happy Haunting and I hid it's face and replaced it with a jack-o-lantern face from Everyday Paper Dolls. Then I stamped a Happy Halloween sentiment on the back. I tried adding ribbon and didn't like it, so this is how it ended up.

The next tag was an idea I had about a full moon with the silhouette of a witch flying by. I liked the idea, but since making it have seen several others with the same idea and theirs looked a lot cuter. The witch is from Happy Haunting.

Sending batty hugs your way and best witches for a great day!

It's Your Birthday!

I made a robot card for nephew's birthday. I can just hear it saying "It's your birthday!" I don't have the Robot's cartridge, so I just designed one of my own using my Gypsy and the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. I think it turned out pretty good, there are a few things I will probably change up next time I cut it. Have a good day!

Bon Voyage

I have a friend that is going on a trip to PARIS. I'm so excited for her and wanted to send her a card wishing her a happy trip. I lived in France for about a year and half and spent about half of that time in the suburbs of Paris. I miss it so much. Some day I hope to return for a short visit, but for now I get to be happy that my friend, that has never left the United States, gets a chance to visit. Bon voyage, mon amie!

Here are the items I used for this card:
Provo Craft Fleur-de-Lis and Antique French papers
Coredinations cardstock
Destinations Cricut Cartridge
Beyond Birthday's Cricut Cartridge
Ribbon
Black Ink
Sponge
