Card Share

Hi everyone! I have another card to share! I am getting hooked! I was never big into making cards but they are very addicting and I am loving every minute of it! lol

I used my digi named Wanda Melon! I used some of my stamps (sorry not sure what brand or name of set got it without the packaging) To stamp Live laugh Love, the fluer de leis and the decorative border on the bottom all in memento tuxedo black ink.

I used a studi g card base and lala land die for the bench! So stinking cute! I colored her up with my spectrum noir markers and added a little flower to her headband. (not pictured but I went back and added a small rhinestone to the flower center.

If you are interested in the colors I used please check out my digi blog!

For this card i used a studio g card base it has a decorative border reminds me of wispy clouds. I used a background stamp from Stampers Best called Festival Grunge Background with a rainbow ink pad. I love how it turned out! 

I stamped a ledger stamp on darice white cardstock and cut it out stamped the sentiment in festive berries distress ink added some green seam binding and orange pompom trim as well as some small handmade flowers I put together. I left the inside blank.

I colored Sammy with my spectrum noir markers.

Happy Crafting!

Quick thank you's for upcoming Halloween Party

I wanted to do something fun for the kids and adults alike as a thank you for coming to our Halloween Bash this year so this is what I came up with!

I used Darice black cardstock for the base and DCWV Halloween papers, a couple stamp sets for the banner and thank you sentiment as well as the little aliens! They are so cute! I used some left over cardstock to make the 1/4 rosettes to help pop the little monsters off the paper! I also used my EK Success tag punch to notch out the top to have a finger pull. I sealed up the end and crimped it with the crimper.

I am going to fill them with a bag of popcorn, hot chocolate, cappachino, or apple cider mix! According to what each person likes! I think these turned out cute and they work up quick which is nice since I have a bunch to make!

Hope you like them! Have a great day!

Below are the cute boxes I made to house their gift cards! The kids are always oh I know what this is...you know by how it is wrapped, so I thought bon bon boxes! Let's see if they can guess right this time!

They are super simple and quick to make out of a 12 by 12 piece of cardstock, a bread tag cut out from my stash and a little twine to tie it all up!

My oldest nephew's girlfriend had her birthday the day before so we are celebrating her as well! I made this little box and flower tag for her! 

This is the bracelet I made for her using dark royal purple glass beads and silver spacers and toggle clasp! 

I really hope to fool my niece and nephews and hope the bracelet is loved as well!

Making some Halloween Embellies

I have been busy making some Halloween embellishments for a couple mini albums I want to put together for Halloween this year! I want to give three away to family and keep one! So, I decided to dig out the cricut again!

I was looking at a few stores and couldn't find any Halloween stickers/embellies that were not very childish (for little kids) or there was not enough of them to create four duplicate albums with! So instead of getting discouraged I am making my own!

I keep forgetting how much fun and how relaxing it can be to create your own, not to mention cheaper! I had so much fun making these! I may even have some left over for cards and PL!

I needed a little break from crochet and drawing! But as these are now finished I am going to draw a bit more  and maybe crochet some on a blanket for my hubby! or maybe work on the albums some...decisions, decisions! lol

Here are some of the embellies I made! I started yesterday and finished them up this morning!

let's take a closer look, at them! I love these Skeletons they are so cute! Lots of little pieces but so worth it!

Next, the haunted houses! These are great so spooky! Lots of little windows to poke out, I think I still have some pieces on my floor! lol

The Candlesticks on the book stacks, Love this! We are all avid readers so these will be appreciated!

Traditional spider webs, and night of the living dead windows!

Ravens on the skull, Reminds me of Poe, Gently Rapping on my chamber door!

And a ironwork gate.

Cats on a tombstone with a pale moon! We will have extras of these but they will go to use!

Witch's and Lanterns...Love them!

tabs for photomats, and rickety old fences.

And Dracula's coffins...of course you need more than one. lol

I had a blast making these! I am ready for Halloween/Fall! Hope you all like them!

I used "Happy Hauntings", and "A Frightful Affair" cricut cartridges.

Have a great Day!

Crochet Flowers turned...

You all know that I love to crochet. I make everything from the tiny little flowers up to afghans. I just love doing it! Crochet is relaxing and I love all the different fibers, yarns and threads!

I am always looking for new ways to use my creations, create new patterns and also just looking for new patterns! I have a bunch but never seem to have enough! lol

I am in the works of creating some Halloween costumes for this years big Party! So excited I got a good chunk of my costume done! I am just deciding if I want to crochet the entire costume or sew part...ummmm I will figure it out.

In the meantime I came up with these! I love making these flowers! I made a bunch also so once I get a chance, I will package them up and put them up for sale! I made a lot! I kind of get carried away. lol

Any way here are my creations! Hope you all like them!

Below is what I call  my simple 5 flower, It measures 2 inches squared. I used 100% cotton yarn and adhered an acrylic pink heart center to each. I think these earrings came out so cute! They are very light! The ear wires are hypoallergenic, both in silver.

Below is my traditional crochet rose. Kind of looks like a wagon wheel... anyway, This measures 2 1/2 inches squared. Crocheted with the same cotton yarn. I adhered a light blue (almost Tiffany blue) acrylic oval pearl in the center of each. Silver hypoallergenic ear wires.

These came out so pretty! Love them. 

just a quick reminder, I have a Design Team call going on right now check the category on the side labeled design team call for the details!

A Halloween/Fall challenge going on as well, Check the tab at the top of the page labeled Challenges.

And last but not least I do have a poll going on the lower left of the blog, please vote I appreciate it!

If you like to color, paper piece or play with images I have digital images for sale and special releases each week up to the last week of October. 

Have a Great Day and thanks for stopping by!

Special release digi images

I love to draw and will keep them coming the best I can! lol I do digital art drawings also so some are computer design and some are hand drawn.

With out further ado here are the new releases minus one that will be revealed in the next post!
