SVGcuts.com Halloween Challenge

I entered a contest through SVGcuts.com to win a sizzix eclips cutting machine (at least I'm hoping to be the grand prize winner).  I started off with the mansion, then the banner, but I couldn't stop there so I added the lanterns and the pumpkin treat box!  It was a lot of work but so much fun!

Back in the swing of things with Scraptastical Kreations!!

For my design team project I used the "Little Buckaroo" file from www.scraptasticalkreations.com  Go check it out and buy this file plus lots of new ones Kristy just listed this month!
My sister Michelle bought a couple of horses this summer and my daughter has claimed Punky as "hers"...but we also say that Punky claimed Randi too!  The kids love riding and all we hear from Randi now is "Can we go see my horse?"  Sometimes it gets a little frustrating but at least she has passion about it!  Thanks for looking, I hope to post more soon!

Weekly project time for Scraptastical Kreations!!!

For this week I chose to make a Graduation card for a friend.  I used a file from the SIL store for the card AND added the BOY GRADUATE from the file Graduation Day by Scraptastical Kreations.  This looked to be an easy card but then I discovered when putting it together that I made the little boy too tall and he stuck out of the card when it was closed (oopsie) luckily it turned out to be an easy fix as all I had to do was shorten the legs and body a little bit!  I don't think it turned out too bad considering it was my first pop up card!

Thanks for stopping by and looking! Until next time.....

For my monthly DT Challenge I created a mother's day card using the Oval Shadow Box Card and the Fancy Flowers #7.  To add the final little touches I used purple rhinestones, a wire embellishment with pearls on it and a cute little mother's poem on the inside.  I printed the poem on vellum and used brads to hold the flowers together.

Step Birthday Card

For this week I created a birthday card for my cousin using the step birthday card from SIL store and then added the flower pot and flowers from Just For You file from Scraptastical Kreations I also used the title but changed it up a bit so that it ran horizontal across the bottom of the card.  Be sure to stop on over and get this and many other great files today!

Until next time...I'll be busy Scrappin' My Kids!

FIESTA TIME!!!

Let's PARTY!!!!   At least that's what my kids plan on doing with these cute maracas I made with the Fiesta file from Scraptastical Kreations!  To start with I took these basic items:

I took the rolls from toilet paper, covered one end with paper and added the dried beans.  I then covered the other end with paper, taped the plastic knife to the back of it; wrapped it in the yellow paper and topped it off by adding brown ribbon to the top and bottom of it!

This is what they looked like prior to adding the pieced together pieces from the FIESTA file that you can find here: Scraptastical Kreations-Fiesta!

 

The FINAL Maracas...my kids are so excited to play with these and I can't wait to get some pictures of them enjoying them...it will give me one more thing to keep me busy Scrappin' My Kids!!!

Eggs 2 Dye 4

My weekly project for the Scraptastical Kreations was a two-page layout for dyeing Easter Eggs.  I used the file Eggs 2 Dye 4 (you can find it here: Eggs 2 Dye 4) I made 3 photo mats that will hold 4x6 landscape photos and 1 portrait photo.  To finish it off I used some miscellaneous stickers that I have had forever to add a little more Easter to the page!  

Thanks for stopping by and until next time, I'll be busy Scrappin' My Kids!
