SNOW DAY!!!!!

I took this picture this morning of a very cold and hungry hummingbird. We had two of them chasing each other off the feeder! They were very happy to find some breakfast that wasn't frozen.

The girls measured the snow this morning. We had about 6 inches. It's been a long time since we have had snow before Thanksgiving.

My sweet daughters in the snow. If they could they would play in the snow till they were frozen!!! They just LOVE it!

Trick or treat

I made this card to enter the challenges over at Stampin Celebration and EBTKS. Head on over and check them out.

Here's my cardThe background I made by sponging yellow, orange and brown inks. I colored, glittered and cut out the trick or treaters. The paper is from Making Memories and the ribbon is from May Arts. The stamps are Stampin Up!

Stampin Celebration Challenge #24

I think I'm just under the wire for the challenge over at Stampin Celebration. All supplies are Stampin Up! except the spiders. I found then at my local craft store. They are stickers I embellished with googly eyes! A close up of the spiders.

Thanks for looking.

Rainbow flowers

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago. My daughters love the Rainbow flowers. (aka Dahlias) They love all the brights colors and are so excited to see how big they get.

6 inches!

Almost 7 inches! My favorite.

The Dahlias were so pretty this year. Hope you enjoy seeing them!

Lighten up

I have been having so much fun with my Day of Gratitude set and my Autumn Spice DSP I thought I would use it again! I made a luminary.


I cut four 5 1/2 inch squares then used my creative memories circle cutters to cut circles in them. I stamped the medallion with Cajun craze SU ink on the vellum. I cut four more circles out of the Cajun craze paper to act as a mat on the vellum.

The ribbon is making memories Halloween pack and the button is from my stash.

All lit up!!!

Stampin Celebration challenge #23

Happy Monday!! The sun is shinning and the leaves are turning gorgeous colors! It's a well deserved break from all the rain we had this weekend.

I love this time of year. Reds, oranges and golden yellow all my favs! I love the smell of pumpkin and apple cider. So I was very happy to be able to participate in this weeks challenge over at Stampin Celebration.



Here's my card:



I just received my Day of Gratitude stamps and the Autumn Spice designer series paper a couple days ago, I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. I used pear piazzazz and cajun craze ink on the leaves then cut them out. The sentiment is also stamped using cajun craze. I added some dark brown ric rac and a button. I hope everyone is enjoying a fantastic fall day!

Paper pumpkins

I have had one of the greatest days! Cleaned a little house this morning, planned something for dinner, watched my soap opera (tacky I know but I can't help it) then my mom came over to craft with me for the afternoon :) We made paper pumpkins. I have seen these in many craft magazines and always thought they would be fun to make.



I used my other new Sizzix die to cut the leave out of felt, attached a brown button and tied it with some twine.

Close up of the leaves.

Thanks mom for spending the day with me!!
