Autumn in Layers!

Good morning! I am up on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog today!  I have a quick mini tutorial on how I created my fall card.  I was inspired by my wreath on the front door and one of those, "AH-HA" moments! ;) 

There are lots of layers....and glitter.....and watercolors.......*sigh* 

And of course products from some of my favorite companies, Quickutz, Zig Clean Brush Markers, SRM Stickers, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, Spellbinders......

For more info on this card, please head on over to the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog!

Have a wonderful day!

I am off to a "murder" mystery dinner show tonight! ;)

Boo!

Good morning!  I have had such a busy, busy week and didn't want you to think I had fallen off the face of the Earth! ;)  I am popping in for a quick post before I head off to school.  

Last year, when I was still creating for Northridge Magazine, my assignment was to create a Halloween onesie. So I used my Cricut and orange and black felt.

I hand stitched the orange circle onto the black felt.  I cut around it with fabric scalloped scissors.  Which is why my scallops are a bit wonky.

I stitched the letters with white thread so they would stand out a bit more. I added a little bit of lace to help "ground" the letters and some googly eyes. (adhered with fabric glue) I am finally handing this little cutie to a friend of mine who's baby girl is celebrating her first Halloween. :)

Today is 60's day at school.....so I've got my A-line skirt, Mary Janes, and headband all ready to go. 

Then tonight I have a Halloween dance at my school.

So busy, busy! 

Have a great day friends!

Just Experimenting!

Good morning! I have a card to share with you today that is a bit different from my normal style. It actually was a result of playing around in my craft room. Cortney had this pair of plaid shorts that were too small and the waist band elastic was shot. So being the crafty gal I am.....ahem..... decided to recycle them! I cut the butterfly out of her shorts using a Spellbinder's die. I also cut 3 layers of tulle and added that on top of the plaid butterfly. The background was embossed using a Spellbinder's pendant die. I wanted a fairly neutral background so the colorful butterfly would take center stage. The ribbon was from Michaels but it was too white originally, so I Glimmer misted in Coffee Shop. It gave it a more aged look!

............only 17 more school days! (But who's counting? : ) Tonight I am attending our district's retirement party for 3 of our teachers. It is always fun.....but a bit sad too. They will be greatly missed next year! Have a great day!
