HI THERE / CQC #110 & FTL #165...

Good morning and happy Tuesday! We have a palette that I absolutely love today over at the ColourQ! I think these colors are as delicious as the cookies that inspired them! I used a strip of adhesive backing (from my 3-d dots) to mask the woodgrain stamping. The house die is from Papertrey, and they were cut from My Mind's Eye's Six by Six Blink of an Eye collection of papers. I based this card on this week's FTL #165.

Bye for now!

CARVING FUN! / CS #181...

So this was the first year Alex and Maisie helped with the pumpkin carving! After I cut the tops off, Jeff tried to get the kids to clean them out. Alex wouldn't put his hands in & when Maisie did she had a meltdown! But Jeff got them spoons and they were fine helping after that... towards the end Alex even used his bands! I got to finish them up by carving the faces (that's my favorite part anyway!)

I used the following kits:

Papers & tags - Sara Schmutz' Trick or Treat

Frames - Karen Funk's Photo Clusters Vol. 2

Stitching - Robyn Meierotto's In Stitches - Neutral Basics

Alpha & buttons - Dani Mogstad's That Old Black Magic

  

  

My sketch came from this week's Creative Scrappers challenge, it was perfect for the number of pics I wanted to use!

 

 Have an awesome day!

BIRDDY / ADFD New Release & FMS #9...

Friday's are always happy days for many reasons, but one of the biggest is because it's NEW RELEASE DAY over at A Day For Daisies - woohoo! A year ago tomorrow I started on the DT for ADFD, and I can only say that EVERY week Tammy comes out with the most amazing images! I am so blessed to call her friend and be able to work with her gorgeous images!

This image is called "Birddy" - ever since I was a kid, I've always had birds as pets, so I really fell in love with this particular image from today's release, Seasonal Fun.

I also "found" a new challenge this week started by the talented Lesley Croghan... Fresh Made Sketches. She has an awesome DT and very appealing sketches, so I'm so happy to be playing along!

Have an awesome day!

HORSING AROUND / Miss Mis New Release & CS #180...

Like most couples, Jeff and I actually did fun things when we were dating - before marriage and kids - LOL! I went waaaaaaaaay back in time to November of 2005 for these pics of us. We had taken our church youth group (I was the group minister) horseback riding. It's nice to scrap life before the kiddies... although life with them is super awesome, too!

I used a new kit coming out tomorrow by Miss Mis designs, called Fall Fancy! Love these colors! And the sketch is from Creative Scrappers!

  

Bye for now!
