Pumpkin Time!

Happy Monday morning everyone.  Today there is yet another fabulous challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut the challenge is "pumpkin time."  So pull out your cricut cartridges and cut out some amazing pumpkins and join us for an amazing time!  Stop over and check out the great pumpkin projects that the awesome FCCB design team has created! 

I used this cartridge for the first time and I'm not completely sold on it...but it didn't turn out too bad.  I don't like the ribbon behind the design but it felt like it needed a little something. I really didn't like it so I decided to remove the ribbon and I think it looks much better now :) The orange part is glitter paper that didn't show up too well in the photo but looks great in real life.  I also tried some wired floss to add to the stem of the pumpkin--kinda fun!

Happy Sunday blog friends!  I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the last day of your weekend.  I'm not at all ready for the weekend to end but I guess I really can't control that :)  I did find some time to craft and catch up on a few projects!  I must admit my laundry has fallen to the wayside but I always have tonight to catch up on that.  I waited until the bitter end to do another challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps--a couple of weeks ago I was soooo lucky and won some fabulous stamps from PKS-- so of course I had to use them for this sketch challenge!  I love this stamp set-- it's so cute!  The witch boots really called to me so I had to use them.  And of course the challenge was to also use twine-- hellooooo I love me some twine! 

Happy Sunday!  Enjoy!

Ahhhhh if you have not been over to Bugbites! blog to check out her fabulous new stamp sets you are soooooo missing out!  I highly recommend adding these great stamps to your collection-- you won't be disappointed and she is offering them at a fantastic price.

I am convinced that this stamp/sentiment from the Misletoe set is my absolute favorite!  Love it sooo much!  And I really love how this stamp allows you to use it even during the non-holiday season! I will be back this weekend with another one of BugBites stamps used in a non holiday way!  I can't wait to see what you create with Barb's amazing stamps! 

Here's my card-- the cricut cartridge I used was the "Campin' Critters" and the paper is mostly SU! except for the fun blue polka dots--that's from Creative Memories.  I apologize that my photo doesn't show the sentiment well in real life it looks fab if I do say so myself!

You Rattle My Bones!

Good Morning!  Hope this post finds you well and enjoying a lovely Wednesday.  Things have been quite busy here and I hope you're still enjoying all of the fantastic cards that have been showcased Barb's BugBites Blog.  I can't wait for you to get your hands on these stamps-- they ROCK!  I know you will need them for all of your Halloween and Winter cards!  Tomorrow I will show you that they can even be used for non-holiday cards--so after you oh and ah over today's post be sure to remember to stop on over tomorrow :)  (ahhhh nothing like a shameless plug for one's own creations :))

Here is my scary skeleton that was cut from the Happy Hauntings cartridge-- the layers of the skeleton have been popped up with dimesionals that were cut to size---oh dear me that was quite painstaking--but the finished product turned out to be cute!  I LOVE how the letters in this sentiment stamp look like little bones...muuhahaha soooo hilarious!  Enjoy :)



Dear Santa...

Hello my dear blogging friends!  Hope you are enjoying this lovely brisk weather.  I created this card as part of the sneak peak for Barb at Bugbites this week she is highlighting two of her brand spankin' new stamp sets that she will soon have ready for purchase! 

Yesterday I had some cards posted using her "Magic Spells" stampset and today I am using the sentiment from her "Winter Wishes" stampset-- LOVE it!  Well I actually love them both but I think now that winter is quickly approaching this will soon be my go to set.

Oh and get ready for this...hold on ladies...this is the ONLY sheet of Christmas paper that I have in my whole house...shock...gasp...can you believe it... I was digging through everything in a panic knowing I needed/wanted Christmas themed paper-- oh dear I am going to have to go out shopping for some ASAP!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  I know I did. I spent some great time with a friend on Friday and Saturday-- we stopped and checked out the Stampin' and Scrappin' Expo at the MN State Fairgrounds-- oh my goodness-- soooo many crafting ideas are floating around in my head now!  Love checking things out there and of course I had to pick up a few new goodies.  Hopefully I will be able to put some stamps to paper and get some projects posted! 

I hope you've stopped over at my friend Barb's fangtastic blog!  Yes, I said fangtastic!  She is releasing two new stamp sets and you won't want to miss out on them... they rock!  I hope you enjoy my creations with her great sets :)
