Happy Halloween!

I cannot believe that it is Halloween already!  I am so sorry I haven't posted recently- as you may or may not know, I accepted a new job in August that has moved my family all the way out to Wyoming!  We are all very excited, and getting settled in.  My new job is going very well- I am working very long hours and have a 14 days on, 7 days off schedule, which has me stretched pretty thin during my work week- but it is not that bad since I love my job! 

My scrap room was unpacked about a month ago and I am still working to get it organized.  I have had some time to craft, which I am very grateful for!  I am actually starting to work on my Christmas cards and Christmas presents for our parents now, so hopefully I can get them done and mailed out sometime soon!

I hope you are having a wonderful fall- we have had 4 inches of snow already and are getting used to the cold!  I hope you have a great Halloween and get lots of pitcures of your little ones!  Mine are dressing up as a princess and Iron Man, and are looking forward to Trick or Treating tonight.   I'm looking forward to scrapping the pictures already!  I am hoping to get them done this week- and I promise to have a creative post this week as well!!

Clementine Card

I made this card as a Thank You card for a friend.  It also went together really fast, but I think it turned out really cute!  Hopefully she will as well!

Here is a complete supply list- all items are available in Close To My Heart's Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book:

Clementine Paper Pack (X7156B), Clementine Workshop Stamp (Available with the Clementine Workshop on the Go- G1046), and the Cottage Assortment (Z1794).  Also used were Sorbet , Creme Brulee, and the NEW Saddle Ink Pad.

Clementine Layout

 

This layout was made using Close To My Heart's new paper pack, Clementine.  I think it will be perfect for a "Mommy and Me" layout of myself and my daughter.  It went together really fast (about 20 minutes total), which I love as well!

Here is a complete supply list- everything is from the new Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book:

Clementine Paper Pack (X7156B), Clementine Complements Canvas Shapes (X7156C), and 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151)

Lucky Roll!

I made this game last night- I thought it would be fun to play at Home Gatherings, Crops, or Open Houses.  I used the Dotty For You paper pack and think it turned out cute!  What do you think??

Here is a complete list of the Close To My Heart supplies I used and their item numbers:  Dotty For You Paper Pack, Smoothie Cardstock (X5763), Black marker (Z2305), Posterboard Alphabet (E1014), Token Alphabet (E1020), One cube from the MyCreations Collage Cubes (Z1737), 1 1/4" Circle Punch (Z1311), and finally the Lagoon and Black Ink Pads.  I used the black stubble texture tool (Z1298) and Lagoon ink to add some color to my lettering.

Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Pemberley Cards

I have to admit, when I first saw the Pemberley paper I really didn't like it.  But, since my mom's favorite colors are yellow and light blue, I ordered it anyway and this is what I have created so far.  I really like how the flowers stand out.  I really think that they make the cards!

Here is my CTMH product list:
Pemberley Paper Pack (X7148b), Pemberley MyStickease (X7148c), Bitty Opaques Pearl Adhesive Gems (Z1707), Hooray Bouquet MyAcrylix Stamp Set (D1491), Colonial White Cards and Envelopes (X1410), 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151), and Outdoor Denim, Honey and Indian Corn Blue ink pads.
