ALEX AND SANTA / K Funk New Release & ST 10.27.11....

Tis the season! Well, not YET of course, but it will certainly be here before we know it! Here's a pic of Alex with the country club Santa a couple years ago... so glad he didn't pull his fake beard off! This layout uses a brand new 'mega' kit from Karen Funk over at Design House Digital called Brown Paper Packages! I just love anything kraft~y, so this kit is right up my alley! The kit's official debut is tomorrow, but I'm thinking if you follow the link above you could get it a day early - LOL!

I used this week's Sketchy Thursday sketch, which I think showed off the banner in the kit just fabulously!

   

 Have a happy day!

WELL RED LEAF / CQC #109...

Happy Tuesday! They really come and go fast each week, don't they?!? We survived trick-or-treating, the kids actually had a blast! Alex ate so much candy last night ( we should have been paying more attention) that at one point Jeff told him no more and he was kicking and screaming on the floor. But only for 30 seconds or so. Then he came into the kitchen and stood there, slightly bent forward, with his hands clenched at his sides and his eyes as big as silver dollars and demanded more. I was a little frightened by this - he sorta looked possessed there for a minute - LOL!

We have some awesome fall~ish colors for you today over at the colourQ. Pardon my pun/title - but I couldn't resist!

Have an awesome day!

FRILLY NEW HAT / DHD Oct. Blueprint Challenge...

We took the kids to our town's Fall Festival weekend before last and walked around. I had been looking on Etsy for some hats for them, but as luck would have it - someone at the festival was selling some really cute ones for a good price! Maisie wanted the hat, but didn't want to wear it - when I finally got it on her she wasn't very happy. So these photos of her are her "striking a pose" with a near scowl!

I used the October Blueprint from Design House Digital, and Karen Funk's Denim Darling Papers.... I love them!

     

I also found this cool Crochet Flower freebie...

Bye for now!

CANDY WITCH / USSIS #130...

Well, this is officially my last Halloween card until next year... I'm kinda sad about it! BUT - Over the next week or so I can do some Halloween scrapping, so I'm happy about that! 

Alex is VERY excited to go trick or treating - he's been asking for days "Is it Halloween?" His costume this year is "Piderman" - I'm not sure where he was exposed to Piderman, but that's what he wanted. I love that he says "pider" instead of spider. Itsy Bitsy Pider is his fave song, btw! We sang it twice on the way to daycare this morning. Maisie is an all pink version of Super Girl, since she doesn't really have an opinion one way or another on the matter of costumes. All she knows is she loves to dress up any day of the year!

The sketch is this week's Unscripted Sketch and the image, Candy Witch,  is from Megan and her Dilly Beans... today is the last day of her sale and the last day to mention you came from my blog to be entered in her drawing - 1 entry for each image you buy & you could win 10 images! See her blog for sale details!

Bye for now...
