Love You a Latte

Hi everyone!  I want to take a minute to thank all of my wonderful followers and I am so excited that you are following me.  I am also visiting your blogs and becoming a follower as well so we can all share our love of crafting.  Thank you to all who take a moment to leave me a comment.  It means a lot to me! :) 

Okay now onto my page.  I am slowly but surely still trying to post pictures from the baby album that I did for my cousin.  I really liked using "Just Because" Cards for this baby book.  That cartridge has really cute sayings and cute cuts.  Most of designer paper for this page is DCWV and the solids are Stampin' Up!  Thanks for looking and I hope you all are well.  Thanks again for following me and visiting my blog! Hugs to you all!!

More Spooky Fun

Hello everyone!  I am having a lot of fun making these Spooky Halloween projects.  I used the new Spider Web embossing folder from Stampin' Up! to emboss the background of my card.  And I used the candy wrapper die to make the "Spooky" little box (I posted the cute little ghost box a couple posts ago).  For the Spooky Box I used Basic Black, Peach Parfait, Old Olive and Whisper White card stock.  The sentiment is from Wicked Cool and the ribbon is Rich Razzleberry.  The card also used Whisper White and Basic Black cardstock.  The scallop oval punch was used on Old Olive for the sentiment (sentiment is from a retired set).  The ribbon is Peach Parfait.  The two little skulls are from My Minds Eye.  Thanks so much for looking and have a great weekend!

Back to School (Last time, I promise! LOL)

Okay so I had to make something to go with the apple that I posted awhile back.  I know I have been talking a lot about school!  We had our teacher work day on Friday and the kids come Tuesday so I am excited!!  I am sad summer is over and my crafting time will significantly decrease but it will be nice to meet my new students!  So anyway, I got the Bigz Mini Milk Carton Die for my Big Shot from Stampin' Up! and decided to try to make a crayon box.  I just cut off the top part of the milk carton and then folded it up.  It actually holds a whole box of 24 crayons nicely.  I embossed it with Perfect Polka Dots.  The card stock is Cherry Cobbler and the ribbon is from Basic Grey.  Thanks for stopping in and Happy New School Year to everyone!

A Ghostly Halloween!

Hello everyone!  First I have to apologize because I have not posted since last Thursday.  Getting my classroom ready for the start of the year has taken a VERY long time.  We moved into a new school this year so I had to unpack and I decided to do an owl theme so I spent many HOURS making things to go with my theme.  I will post pictures of my classroom soon.  I was so excited to make this little project today because I got to use the new Candy Wrapper Die that is in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog!!  Isn't this just a fun little project? I used Old Olive card stock, Peach Parfait ribbon, and the Wicked Cool stamp set.  I got the ghost from My Mind's Eye Boo to You chipboard pack.  With school starting I am really getting into fall mode!!  Have a great weekend!

I Bite!

Hello everyone!  Today is my crafty Thursday club so I will try to post pictures tonight or tomorrow of what we are working on.  I already showed you the apple shape card in my last post but I am also excited about the other two projects! :)  Here is another layout that went in the recent baby book that I made.  I really enjoyed using Create a Critter.  The animals are just adorable.  The solid papers are from Stampin' Up! and the patterned paper is from my stash.  I used Sure Cuts A lot for the title.  I also used that same font for the speech bubble by the alligator.  The font is called cheri and I love to use it for baby things and I always use it at school.  Here is a close up:

Thanks for stopping by today and I will talk to you soon!

First Day of School Shape Card

Hi everyone!  This is going to be one of the projects that my Crafty Thursday club will make this week.  I am going to try to do a video series that will highlight a card each week and call it Crafty Thursday Card Series.  School is about to start so this is probably a wishful goal!! Ha! We will see. :)  I haven't made a shape card for awhile so I decided to give it a go.  I used Apple #4 from Preserves and welded the tops together using design studio.  The gap in the middle that did not weld is where I placed my stem and leaf.  This way the stem and leaf are on the inside of the card.  Here are a couple more views.  You can enlarge these by clicking on them.

• Cardstock is from Stampin Up!:  Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, More Mustard
• Designer Series Paper is Jolly Holiday
• Ribbon is Pear Pizzaz
• I used the oval scallop punch and the 1 3/4x 7/8 oval punch
• White Gel Pen
• Paper Crimper for the leaf
• Preserves Cartridge with Design Studio

Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish everyone a good school year!

You're A Hoot!

Hi everyone!  Here is another page from the baby book that I made for my cousin. I had so much fun making this page that I decided to make owls my theme at school! :)  I used Create a Critter for the Owls and for the title.  I also put the leaves though my paper crimper.  All solid paper is from Stampin Up!  The rest is the DCWV Recycled Stack and the ribbon was from Jo-Ann.  Here are a few more close-up's.

Thanks for looking and have a super weekend!!
