As I wait.....

.... to see the full reveal at The ScrapRoom, I'll share a few more layouts using the Bella Blvd. One Fall Day papers from October's kit.

While at the Pumpkin Patch we visited the animals at the petting farm. It was fun watching the kids feed the goats and Makayla decided she needs one, and was quite fond of this particular friendly little critter!


They also had a little set-up where the kids could participate in duck races. At first Makayla had trouble getting her little duck to budge, but once she started pumping faster the duck scooted right down the gutter to the end. :-)


And since today is Halloween, here are the cutest two little trick or treaters I know!! DARLING!!


Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Godspeed

cardmaking

I was surfing my collection of favorite sites on the internet last night and came across this darling sketch at PageMaps.


Just love the mix of orange, pink, and brown for my girlie all occasion card.....


.....and I know exactly who I'm sending it to and she'll find out in a few days, too!!

Have a great day!

Godspeed

Fall/Halloween Crop!

This past weekend we had a crop over at The ScrapRoom and there was lots to do, but so little time as usual. One of these weekends I won't have to work and get sidetracked so I can actually get more done! But, until that miracle happens, I'll show you what I did manage to get finished.

Here is a Make & Take Halloween banner that I presented for the board members. It was easy to do and I was able to keep costs to a minimum using supplies I already had on hand. I'm already in the planning stages to make for the Christmas Holiday!


Gab, one of our future MOD Squad team members, served up a challenge that included:
*one cardstock
*two page layout
*three different alpha
*four pattern papers
*five or more photos

I created this layout following her recipe using photos from our trip to the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago.


And a close up of my cute little scarecrow with pumpkins. I have started using pop dots to give dimension to my handmade elements and just lovin' the look!


Thanks for stopping by!

Still waiting......

Still haven't seen any sign of my October kit, but Tammy did inform me that it is on its way! I'll be busy today, but once I print those photos tomorrow, watch out, I'll be a scrapping fool! And to top it off, today we are heading to the Pumpkin Patch so that means even more photos. :-) CRAZINESS!!

In the meantime, I have done a few more two page layouts using the same sketch from Sketches For Scrapbooking, vol. 6 by Allison Davis. I love the versatility of her sketches and how just changing a tad here or there makes it easy to use the same one over and over again.

In this first one, I have scrapped more photos of our Relay For Life event this past August. I used American Crafts Everyday line and kept it pretty clean so I wouldn't distract from the important photos of the day:


And my second one is of my sister Pat and I as we scrapped the night away while we visited the first part of October. That was such a fun time laughing, sharing that bottle of chocolate red wine - yes, chocolate AND wine together, YUM - and irritating our hubbies with Dancing With The Stars on the tube. They didn't have to ask who or why Mike was called "The Situation" after that! :-)

Once again I used American Crafts Everyday line, but added a few handmade felt flowers I created with my Sizzix.


Thanks for stopping by and hopefully my next post will be with my TSR kit in it!

Godspeed

Apparently there was a mix up with the stamp set I'm getting this month and Tammy sent it back to have it redone. I love that she looks out for us, but in the meantime all I can do is just look at pictures of my kit over and over and over and......

Can't wait!

That's right, I can't wait to share the photos and good times we've had while on this road trip! We've had a few dogs for motel rooms, but it makes you appreciate when you hit the jackpot and find a wonderful bed to sleep in for the night!

We are headed into Chicago in the morning, hopefully for the final part of this load, then WESTWARD HO!! Yes, I miss my kids, those grandbabies, and my OWN BED!

Until we get home.....

Godspeed
