A Really Cute Witch and a Twilight Pumpkin!

Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween. Andrew went out with his friends, I didn't get a picture as he wouldn't let me, plus, being 13, he didn't really dress up much! He did wear a mask, so that was something. Ashleigh was supposed to be Tinkerbell, but with being sick all week and it was a cold/damp night, we went with an old costume she had at last minute. It was really windy. She would have lost her wings. As it was, we had to run home and make a pitstop to add a ribbon tie to her hat. It wouldn't stay on. She did about 15 houses and then she asked to come home. We were home by 8. There was hardly any kid's out up in our area. We didn't have one child come to our door! A friend sent me the pumpkin via email. Is that cool or what?? That one's for all you Twilight fans. We have our very first retreat on "New Moon" opening night, so looks like I'll be waiting a couple days to see it, which will likely be to my benefit as far as lineups!

Have a great day!

"Play Along Monday's" Challenge #15 - What Can YOU Do With ONE Sheet Of CS??

Thank you for playing along last week! Hope to see you again this week!

This week's challenge is to show off what YOU can create with ONE piece of either CS or patterned paper! I did a little research and decided to try my hand at a one sheet box. Again, a fun and versatile project, you could use this for anything! This is another digi stamp from Stamps and Smiles. I used alot of colored fun flock on him and the christmas paper is from Michaels. Don't forget to upload a DIRECT link to your creations in Mister Linky! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

At The Pumpkin Patch

Hello! Well, Ashleigh is finally feeling back to her normal self. She's been off school all this week with what started as strep and ended up with a nasty fever and ALOT of sleeping and now she has the cough. But, she can go back to school on Monday. Today we ventured to get our pumpkins and tonight, we'll head out to trick or treat for a bit, but not to long. I just don't want her to get sick again. Those fevers were scary. It's really windy out there today and the temp keeps dropping. I have to say, I was visiting another blog today and they have ALOT of snow in Charles Lake BC! I'll take the wind and the cool weather, thank you! I did do a couple projects yesterday, but they're for next week, so you'll have to stay tuned!! Happy Halloween to those who celebrate and safe trick or treating!

FBW #81 - "All Things Grow With Love"

Be sure to visit Danni's Dreams for this week's Flutter By Wednesday challenge! This week is another open week and you just have to use a butterfly, fairy or an angel on your project. I've been lacking in my FBW projects, so I made an effort today to get my card done for this week! I bought this paper last Christmas and haven't even touched it yet. I didn't want to use it for just anything as it's so pretty! Today Ashleigh came out with a piece that she had cut and gave me the idea. So, thank you Ashleigh! Since the paper already had a butterfly in it, I added a couple of punched butterflies that I had on hand from a project Christine showed us how to do. I used different embellishments on my project, so I tucked these guys safely away! I also added the sentiment, which I bought at Michaels. I thought it turned out very pretty and I hope you like it to!

"Joy!" - OCC Challenge

This week's challenge on Our Creative Corner is a really fun one! Create a card or a project inspired by your favorite holiday book or movie. You'll have to make sure to hop by OCC to see what the design team came up with! I love Christmas and seeing as I just got all my stamps from Stamps and Smiles new release, I decided to go with Frosty The Snowman! I had a lot of fun putting this one together. I actually used 2 different stamp sets. I then thought it would be fun to add fun flock to his scarf, mitts and nose and of course, had to add all that glitter to the snowflakes (Martha Stewart punch)!

Stamp Sets:

• 'Tis the Season to be Jolly
• I Love Snow

Have a fun day everyone!

"You're One In A Melon!" High Hopes Challenge #50 - All About Kids!

This week's challenge at High Hopes is "All About Kids!" I finally had a chance to get out my new (untouched) stamps from High Hopes and play!! They're all so cute, I had a hard time choosing which one to use. This one is called "Summer's Sweetness". I got the pattern idea from my CTMH "Wishes" Card book, a must have for all you card makers out there!! The paper is from 2 different CTMH paper packs...

• Paper Garden
• Bella

And the embellishments are all CTMH as well!

"Let It Snow!" Project Tuesday, Stair step Card!

Good morning! First off....HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our daughter, Ashleigh! She turns 9 today!!

This week over at Project Tuesday, we were asked to make a Stair step card. This one was alot of fun and again, not as hard as it looks! I actually used 2 stamps from the new releases at Stamps and Smiles:

1. Cuppy's Winter Wonderland (cuppy and sentiment)
2. Trim A Tree

I also used alot of embellishments on this card. On Cuppy, I paper pieced the hat and scarf and then added fun flock on the fur of her hat and I added glitter to her 'icing'. For the tree's, I added liquid applique to make the 'snow' and if you can see it, the whole white area behind the trees is all glitter as well. The "Let It Snow" is done in gold embossing with a little liquid applique added as well. Snowflakes are a from a new Martha Stewart punch I just bought.

Have a great day everyone!
