Halloween Decor and Card

Guess what holiday is approaching?! If you guessed Halloween, your right! I popped into my local scrapbook store (The Creative Nook) and some new Halloween goodies arrived. I couldn't help myself and had to get some for my design team projects this month. The store has a great collection of accucut die cuts, so I completed my creations in house. I love that they have a table and you can come and play!

I didn't want the wall/door decor to be too heavy. So I die cut it with the Accucut machine with Foam Board. Ohh yes you read that correctly, I said Foam Board! The machine cut right threw it, I was amazed, I had never tried it before and it worked perfectly.  The purple piece is cut with chipboard and I put little googly eyes in it ;) I wanted to highlight all the cool dies the store has to offer and the possibilities are endless there! Don't forget to check out the card I made too, with the scraps! I made another card but for some reason all the pictures came out fuzzy, so I will have to retake them and update this post. :D

CHD Warrior Banner

Hello World! I have been absent for a while. I took some time to focus on me and getting better from Lyme (boo ticks). A lot has been going on and it's been great! We got a new puppy and she is keeping the family busy.

I having an amazing friend who has the best family ever, but Baby Jake is a CHD Warrior! He has had multiple heart surgeries but is finally home and doing well! You can support Baby Jake and watch him grow on his facebook page: Prayers for Baby Jake. Jake even had the support of the entire community and was featured in the local newspaper! I had the opportunity to make a banner for some photos Baby Jake was having with the talented Katie P. Photography.

Turbo Birthday Banner

Last week we had the hard choice to let our kitty go over the rainbow bridge. I took some time to reflect and remember all the wonderful times we had together. Our puppy took it the hardest and still misses his best friend. Me and puppy have been spending extra time together and he is even more of a cuddle bug. I think is doing much better and having play dates with his friend has helped.

So I am back to blogging and here is one of my creations! A request for a turbo banner came in and I couldn't pass up the chance to try it out! I love the metal plate looking embossing folder, it added the perfect amount of texture too!

I've been working behind the scenes too, so lots of fun things to come too! Have a great Tuesday!

Tricycle Themed Birthday Party

Happy Monday! The weekend went by too fast but it was great. We had a puppy play date at our house and there were over 10 dogs here, I even made homemade dog treats! I even had time to play in my craft room! I wanted to share an order I made for a tricycle themed birthday party!

I had lots of fun making the banner and party decor. I got to see the party all set up and pictures from the event, which is always my favorite! This is such a cute idea for any age, the guest got to bring there bikes and decorate and then have a parade! It couldn't be anymore adorable!

Love Birds Thank You Cards

Happy Monday! Can't believe a new week has started, lots of fun things planned and excited about it! It snowed again in Maryland and I am hoping that was the last of it. Our furbaby injured his leg and has to be on minimal activity, which is not easy for a puppy! As you know I found our wedding box and here is another card, they were thank you cards for all the wonderful gifts, thoughts and people who made our wedding special.

Happy BEEday!

Happy Monday! So excited to be starting a new week! I plan on being in my craft room all day today (hopefully)! I had so much fun making this card! I have lots of dies and I want to get into using them, so I challenged myself to only use my quickutz dies for this card! I really like how it came out! Do you have lots of dies or something else you collect in your craft room? I would love to hear what some of your favorite must haves are! Happy Art Making!

Happy Birthday Banner

I finally got to play with my cricut and I forgot how much I loved it! I had lots of fun making this banner for a new friend :) I wanted to add a little pizzazz so I embossed the label shapes. I can't wait for the new year and to play some more with my cricut!!!
