My first "BOO" Banner!

Good day everyone.  In this post I wanted to share with you a banner I made for the Halloween season. It's not a very big banner, I think it is a good size for displaying under a shelf.  I like how it turned out but I have ideas for other "BOO" banners that I want to make. 

Cartridges used are: Art Philosophy, Paper Doll Dress Up, and Boy will be Boys Font. I used a white glitter paper for the ghosts, the green and orange are just cardstock, and the purple is from the K and Company Spooktacular paper pad.  I inked the edges with a black ink. The drippy goo punch is from Martha Stewart, I used black eyelets to anchor the sides for tying the tulle.  I used some glittery orange and black tulle for tying it together.  I also used some smooch spritz in a silver/pewter color but you can't see it in the pictures.

I told you about doing a booth at our fair & this year I decided to make banners and see how well they sell.  I am guessing where I live it just hasn't hit quite yet.  I made eleven banners and only sold 3 of them.  Let me know what you think, your comments only help me get better and know what people want to see.  Thank you for visiting my blog.  Tomorrow I will show you my "Spooky" banner!

Thank You Goodie bags

My Birthday has come and gone but I still wanted to show you what I made for all of my party guests.  We had a lot of fun that night and to show my thanks to all the ladies that came out to my house (and they even brought gifts!) I made each of them a little bag with some crafty goodies in it along with a little bit of chocolate!

I like how they turned out and I stayed with my pink,black,silver and white color scheme.  They all loved their bags when I delivered them so I guess I did a good job.

I'm so "FANGFUL" for you!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!  I love this holiday.  Today I am going to share with you some of the goodie bags I made for my daughter's 2nd grade class, and some that I made for my soccer team.  There is a lot of them so I will only share a little bit, I don't want to have a super long post. 

For the 2nd grader's my daughter picked out the colors, the "fangful" stamp, and the bat.  I was surprised at what she wanted, for being only 7 years old, but they turned out pretty good.

I used the Happy Hauntings & Gypsy Wanderings cartridges and the Martha Stewart drippy-goo punch, Stampin Up ink and MPS-Spookalicious stamp set.

Here are some of the 15 bags I made for the soccer team.  I had fun making these for all of my girls, and they had fun looking at them and trying to figure out which one they wanted.

I used the Mini-Monsters cartridge, Halloween paper from K&Company and Creative Imaginations, Stampin Up ink, a white gel pen, brads, all stamps from the MPS-Spookalicious stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I wish you all a Happy Halloween!

Birthday fun for Kirstin!

In the middle of doing a bunch of Halloween goodie bags I had to pull out my birthday stuff and make a Birthday Cake Box for Kirstin.  I love my soccer girls, they are so much fun, and they all look forward to what I am going to make for them.  I love how this box turned out.  I think it is so cute.

My Sweet 6 year old

Well, I finally have a little time today to do this post.  I wanted to show you the layout I made of my other daughter.  I absolutely love this picture, doing this layout was a lot of fun.  It is hard to believe that she is only six years old.  She is such a fun girl with a spunky personality.

B. Couture Photography is so great!  She is really fun to work with and her photos are wonderful!

This layout was also from a Liz Qualman sketch

I made my own patterned paper using a stamp set from My Cute Stamps

My beautiful 13 year old

Hi everyone, sorry it has been a while.  Life just got a little busy.  But I am hoping to get back into the swing of things.  I am actually busy creating.  I am getting ready for a booth that I have at my upcoming Peach Days Celebration here in my small community.  Hey, if anybody has any suggestions on things to make that would sell let me know I am always open to new ideas. 

Today I want to share with you a page layout I made of my beautiful 13.5 year old.  She will be 14 in October.  I really like this picture, she is so pretty. 

I got the layout design from a Liz Qualman sketch

Paper is from a DCWV stack & flower paper is from Bo Bunny

Jentry's Bapstim Card

I just had a nephew get baptized recently now it is my niece Jentry's turn.  Her big day is coming up this Saturday.  I made her baptism card to look like her of course.  I hope she likes it.  I included in the package that I sent to her a cute flower hair clip that is white with some bling in the center.  Her card is very basic but elegant.

Sorry about the lighting I just couldn't get it right to show the whiteness of the card.  For some reason the lighting turned out really dim.

Chase's Bapstism Card

How is everyone today?  In this post I will be sharing a card I made for my nephew Chase who just recently was baptized.  I am so proud of him and his decision.  He is such a special young boy. My sister really liked it and told me how Chase thought it was pretty cool too.

I was with my sister when she bought a new little suit outfit for Chase.  I made my card based off of his suit. 
Of course the boy on the card is Chase in his new suit.  I made the pattern on the yellow paper myself using some stamps.  It was based off of the tie.
