Signs

I know that I have not posted much on my blog but I have been so busy making all kinds of goodies for the Bazaar on December 4th. It will be here in no time!!

I made wall hanging and Brian told me that he thought they would sell better if it was done in a frame. He gave me an idea and I ran with it!

The "let is SNOW" is made on a floating from and the glass measures 7X16. It has MANY layers of paper and then some vinyl. I LOVE how it turned out and I have made three more "Floating frames" but I need to get some brown frames as I only purchased black ones.




I then decided I wanted to make some decorated frames to sell. I had seen this idea and loved it but I have no purpose for it in my house full of boys. So, I thought the Bazaar was the perfect opportunity to make one.



I liked the Bright girlie one so much I decided to make another with neutral colors. I LOVE how this turned out and I am working on a second one.



I LOVE the phrase "Life is Good" because I believe it is!! The phrase is attached on the outside of the glass by popdots to give it some dimension.

Candy Bar Covers

I have stayed quite busy making all kinds of fun goodies for the Christmas Bazaar that I am going to be a vendor at in December! This is my first show and I am excited and nervous all at one time!
Here are three examples of the Hershey's Candy Bar Covers I made.

AWESOME!!

Ok, so if you all don't know my Cricut is MY FAVORITE scrapping tool! I use it on Almost every LO I make!

I saw a couple days ago that if you purchase and register a Cricut Gypsy by Nov 1st you will get 6 bonus cartridges. Since I have had mine for a year I didn't even bother to look at the info!

BUT I just found out that the 6 bonus carts will be given to EVERYONE who has purchased and registered a Gypsy. So, on November first you will find me updating my Gypsy so I can get the 4 carts I don't all ready own! YIPPEE!!!

HELLO THURSDAY!!!!

The third Thursday of every month happens to be one of my favorite days of the month! It is when Cricut releases their new cartridges!

I just got a peak at the 6 new carts being released this month. None of the names jumped at me. When I first saw Car Decals I didn't think much of it BUT when I took a look at this I decided that it has LOTS of possibilities!!



I really was not to interested in the Quarter Note cart...
I saw this beautiful font on this cart! This was just a little peak so I can't wait until I can look at the entire book.















Rose Gift Card Ornament

I have made about 30 of these Gift Card Ornaments but this is my FAVORITE so far!! Maybe I will keep this one... haha!
I watched Jennifer McGuire video on how to make the rose. Love her videos!

Christmas Ornament by Gage

I LOVE that my boys love to craft with me! It brings me joy to have them come in my room and help me! I don't always show them this joy, like when I am focused and they are trying to take over my project.

Gage and I watched a youtube video on a new technique yesterday so Gage immediately went to work in my room! He took a white round circle and stamped it with small dots and then clear embossed it. Then he used Distress Inks to color it in!


I think he did a great job!
