Digital Delights cutting files

Hi! I have a couple of Christmas cards I wanted to show you that I made with cutting files I purchased from Wendy at Digital Delights by Louby Lou.

I purchased Bongo The Dog, and Razzle The Reindeer. I really like how they turned out! I would love to know what you think! And don't forget that Freshed Brewed Designs is having a DT call!!

Gabby/Abby challenge #4

I love the challenges these two talented gals are having! This week the challenge is to use CANDY!!
How easy is that what with Halloween and all? I almost went with a Christmas Candy theme, but decided to stick with Halloween. Go to check out GABBY and  ABBY and enter for yourself, but you'll have to hurry!!

I made up a cute little candy bag using an image from Fresh Brewed Designs--isn't this little candy corn fella a cutie?!!! FBD is currently having a full DT call--but not much time left to get in on that either--so grab a Fresh Brewed cup of your favorite beverage and get on over to the FBD Challenge Blog for details on how to become a DT member!

Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Challenge

Hiya all! Today is a new challenge over at Fresh Brewed Designs! Stay on the look out in the near future if you would like to become a DT member for FBD too!!! There are several perks to doing so!
Todays challenge was a sketch challenge-and here it is:



 I have used this gorgeous image called
Tiana Fairy. I love how she turned out-you cant really tell in the picute but I put some lacey film like paper over top of her wings to give them more dimension. I also got out my I-rock for the bling. Stay tuned for some more extra special news coming soon from FBD too--you won't want to miss it!

Lets Face it Friday #3

Hi! The challenge at Peachy Keens Lets face it Friday this week was a fun one to do.
Create a home decor item based on a harvest/fall theme. 
So, I had purchased this cute little fabric Pumpkin, and wanted to dress it up a bit.

I added a Turkey--who is hiding behind the cute little ghost--and added a PK face on the ghost. Added a little sign cut with my cricut and also a few pumpkins--which also got to display PK faces! the little sign is made with a stamp I picked up for a dollar--and I thought it was cute to point the "would be turkey hunters" away from this little turkey! I would say the ghost is being very mishevious, and knows just what he is doing helping Mr. Turkey out---and the pumpkins are shocked--but can not tell you anyways!! ; ) I also added some rafia on the sides to look like corn stalks.

Tomorrow's Brownies craft

Hi all! Tomorrow is Brownies--and I am a co-leader( my youngest- Emily- is in the group!), one of the things I have been doing since I started being a co-leader is the craft for each of the meetings.
Wanna see what the craft is for tomorrow? Keep in mind these girls are only 2nd and 3rd graders-so it can't be anything too difficult as we only have an hour.

I got this idea from a magazine, and thought it was a great idea to get the girls thinking of what they were thankful for! what do you think?

check out this candy from Pink Lilacs!!

Hi all! There is an awesome candy be offered Linda of Pink Lilacs--go HERE to check it out!!
Thanks Linda!!

Gaby Abby Challenge #3

Are you ready for another Gaby Abby Challenge? I was--cuz I was so sad to find I missed out on one!! This week it is to make anything you would like-but it has to have a monster on it--it can be scary or cute!! I picked cute! I actually made a little door hanger ( I put magnets on the back)-so someone could leave a message if you aren't home. The little monster and the eyes do glow in the dark--but my camera would not catch it. I cut the letters out with my gypsy and cricut from (I think) the Hanna Montana cart. The little monster and the eyes, and Boo were in a sticker pack-but I am not sure where I picked it up at. The little Happy Halloween was part of a swap I had entered. I put eyelets in to hold the ribbon that holds the pencil, and I found that cute little notebook in a package of 6 in the dollar bins at Target! Hope you like it! Make sure to check these gals out--not only is there a prize, but they are both so talented!!! Lots, and lots of gorgeous projects on their blogs!

A SF card and a project

Ok- I am back--I have my little kiddo home with me today-she woke up in the middle of the night with a 101 temp, so I figured she best stay at home--since I had the day off anyways. I had an appointment for my mammogram this morning-and I am really impressed with the hospital for their Mammo department. It is set up to be so comfortable--really nice! So, I made this card to send out to them--the digi image is from Squigglelfly-and is one of the inside outs.

 I also made something the other day to send off to my daughter Brittany-who is in College-she has always had such a thing for anything that involved Breast Cancer Awareness. It is a wreath - made up with several BCA items on it--and I got a pin today that I can add to it before I send it to her. It was so easy to make!! the little dangle that is kind of hidden in the photo says " courage".

We also got to finally meet her boyfriend a couple of days ago--here is a pic--aren't they a  great looking couple?!!

Well, off to read Emily her library book--(she is loving the Magic Tree House collection right now)-hope you have a great day!

Guess what came in the mail today????

Hi everyone--I received my Scotch Pink ATG!!!! I am so excited! I had trouble figuring out the instructions on how to start the ATG tape-but found a great video on a website HERE. Off to have fun now--will be back later with a couple of cards-I hope!

New card-and a link to a great give-away!

Peachy Keen Challenge #38

Hi all! I am running late-but wanted to hurry and get my project up for the Peachy Keen Challenge # 38. It was to be about October, but not a card. So, what I made was a door hanger for my front door. I used a couple of PK stamp faces to cutsey it up! : )

Guess what today is?

It is Wednesday!
Heehee! No, really, it IS Wednesday--and what does that mean? It means that it is once again time for the Fresh Brewed Weekly Challenge! The image I used for todays challenge--which is to make a card/project using black and purple--is called The Sweetest Mummy and can be found over at Fresh Brewed Designs. This one is for my daughter Brittany who is in college for nursing! I know she will get a kick out of it! Well, hope you get the chance to join us this week!! I will probably be MIA for a couple days now---working lots of hours--but it should slow down next week!

Peachy Keen challenge-Let's face it Friday #2

Well, I am short on time today,as always, I am totally amazed at how fast the days go by!!--but had to get on and post my scrapbook page that I made for the Peachy Keen challenge! The theme for this one was: your muse--of course my muse is my Children and Family! So here it is:

I have cut out the tree using My community and the Family with Hannah Montana--but got so caught up I forgot to keep mental note on which carts I used to make the apples and leaves! Sorry!

I also used my Peachy Keen Stamps for my faces on the apples--several different sets were used! I just love them all--and can not wait to get more!! Well, hope you are all having a great start to your week!

We did go see two movies this last weekend: Secretariat, and Ramona and Beezus. Both were very good movies--Emily said she liked Secretariat the best, but I am sure it was just because there were Horses in it!

 I am off to work for a couple hours--Bye!

Emma's Thursday Throwback

Hi all! Emma didn't have a Thursday Throwback last week, so I was excited to check this week's challenge out!
This week the challenge is: Use Create a Critter, you must use the color Orange, and it must be a shaped card.

The cut-out I made was actually supposed to be a carrot--but I made it into a Little Corn Girl! I used my Peachy Keen stamps I just got like last week--PK-640 Princess Face Assortment, for my little corn girls face, and added some little cheeks for her.

I also used some neat little Yo-Yo's a friend made for me, and added a brad to the middle of it-for a barrette for her. I was also excited to put my new I-rock to use!! I gave up on Michaels--(they still haven't called to say they got some in!!) and ordered it on-line, and had it in a couple of days! Gotta love Ebay! Ya know, I had to have one after seeing Emma use hers on one of her video's! Well, would love to hear what you think of her!
