I thought it would be fun to post a sketch challenge for you to try!

My new friend!

This morning I was able to capture my Humming Bird friend on film. This is not an easy task! A Humming Birds wing beat is about 38-78 beats a second. What a nice gift God created for us.

Lions, Tigers and Elephant Ears.....Oh My!

I was working in my yard and had to snap the "Elephant Ears" I put Nikki it it so you can see how incredibly HUGE they've gotten,

Star Ornaments!

Nicole & I made these today. They are from the kit in the "Holiday Mini". It was easy ans fun for Nicole. We plan to hang these on the tree or the wall for christmas. You pop out the cardstock and fold on scored lines. Yay! I like the colors too!

Simple Sunday!

That's a good name for today's post. Maybe I should do this every Sunday. Well just a simple card made from the "Pocket Silhouettes" I used more mustard & cho.chip inks and yes I finally got my 2nd Nestibillities in the mail yesterday. Wow I guess I am getting spoiled! So much fun!

I got a New Toy!!!!!

Yahoo!!!!!! I've wanted one of these for a looooong time. But not a $249.00 worth. Anyway with my cake decorationg class we have to make our own frosting and unless I want to look like Popeye on one side I did some investigateing. I found this little puppy @ Linins-n-Things and they also have a 20% coupon. Yahooo! It works sooooooo nice. I promised my husband a "Raisin Pie" if he bought it for me. See he really does love me or is it the "Raisin Pie"?

Pumpkin Garland!

Hi all! I have a fun project for you today. I even made a short tutorial so you can create this little pumpkin too.

1.Cut DP in 1"x 6" strips.(I used Frosty Day for the Holiday Mini)

2.Run strips along the side of your table to soften paper. If you rotate paper make sure it's that way when you soften it.

3.Stack strips together and punch holes in the end. I used my Big Bite to create the holes. Insert a brad in one end. Loop ribbon in the other end.

4.Fan out!

Use smaller strips for smaller pumpkins-

I hope you have fun making your own pumpkins! Leave me a comment in the comment box below.

Holiday Line Up!

Isn't this set cute?????{Holiday Lineup!} I'm getting a jump on my Christmas cards-Sept. almost over. My husband mentioned camping at the end of Sept. "What?*^#! It is the end of Sept." Anyway, I used Pacific Point and a whole lot of my "Cuttlebug" machine!!!!!!!! I raised the image by using craft black & clear embossing powder. It helps to the ink inside the lines when coloring. The sentiment is level one Hostess Set.

Now at first I talked myself out of needing this adorable "Owl together now" set until the "Season of Friendship" appeared in the Holiday Mini. Don't you just love these "OWL" together.lol
