Did you ever see a paper line and instantly be inspired?

I saw this Theresa Collins line when I went to work one day and immediately envisioned a Christmas Banner and quickly went to work.  I still think it is missing something...but I am pretty happy with it.

Yay!!! Some projects finally!

I was at work a couple of days ago and walked past this paper and just had to have it!   Isn't it adorable?  I think I have to pick up more cause I used it.  LOL  It is Prima's Jack and Jill collection.  I plan to take a photo of my 4 children together and softening it on the computer and adding it to the layout.  And then I have to journal of course!

 

Here is a super simple card I made as well.  I went to Challenge Masters to pick up some challenges for inspiration.  The layout was for the one little word challenge, using the word blessed.  This card is for the Manufacturer challenge - use 4 of 7 (My Mind's Eye, DCWV, Cosmo Cricket, Prima, Kaiser Craft, Heidi Swapp, Jennie Bowlin) 

I am picking up a canvas today to do the altered challenge.  This should be fun!  I just picked up a 3 pack of Making Memories paint in halloween colors from Tuesday Mornings for $1.69 (can't beat that) It will be fun to make some Halloween wall decor....it seems we have very little Halloween decoration in our house for some reason.  Maybe I should pick up 5 of them and let the kids each make one too.  I might need more paint!!!! LOL

Have a great day!!!!

We have a little visitor that runs around the yard every morning collecting food for the winter. I love watching him carry that big cob of corn throughout the yard.  He is just so cute...and you just can't help but smile when you see him!

Today my 4 year old is feeling a bit under the weather......since she is sleeping now...I think I will sit down and get some much needed craft time in!!!!  Hopefully I will have some projects to post soon!

Woot Woot!!!!! I got me a happy scrappy job!!!!

Hello everyone!!!  I am so excited to tell you that Becky at Scrapbook and Stamping Creations in Appleton, WI hired me this afternoon!!!!!  (see me grin from ear to ear)  I can't wait!  I start training tomorrow!  It is a part-time position but that is exactly what I need.  Just a little time to get out of the house every once in awhile and maybe make a buck or two....and to do it in a scrapbook store....what could be better?

I am really looking forward to the opportunity to offer classes at the store as well.  Look forward to some cricut classes coming soon!!!!! ;)

-----------------------

On another note my son has 3 friends over tonight and they are wound tight.  I thought my 3 girls were a handful......4-10 year old boys....YIKES!!!!!!!  They are outside now yelling and running around.....what was I thinking?  LOL  At least they are having fun!!!!!!

Tomorrow afternoon we are going to go out to eat for my Father-in-laws 50th birthday.  I guess the family is planning on doing something else as well....but details have not yet been finalized.  LOL  I said just let me know and I will be there.

I do have some crafty projects I need to work on this weekend.  They are small...but need to get done...so hopefully tomorrow night or Sunday I can find some time to do that.

What are you plans for the weekend? 

Peachy Keen stamps/My Pink Stamper challenges

It has been so long since I had a chance to participate in a challenge!  I am so excited to get back into the game.  :)  I created this cute little card with the sketch from Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #37 and I also incorporated My Pink Stampers challenge to create a project with a bird on it.  This is a really simple card but I love how it turned out.  I used the Create a Critter cartridge for the bird; Peachy Keens stamp set "Critter Faces" and DCWV Natural stack.

Thanks for stopping by Snug as a Bug!
