Halloween

I'm on overload from watching HSN Crafting Day! Ha ha
So today I made a banner for my mantel & a little witch to top it off. Adding small bling to each letter. iPhone still being used UGH!!! Need a camera for Christmas. Challenge #34 at lovely Hanglar only is round - I think this qualifies. ;)



Stamps - Witch (Hanglar)Sentiment (Studio G)

What I've been up to...

Not much stamping around here lately. I've been so busy planning a wedding for these two!!! They recently had their engagement pictures done and this is one of my favorite shots. They love the lake near their home and spend a lot of time there walking her dog or boating with friends. It really captures them and love the casual feel the photographer was able to achieve. There is one of her laughing at something he said and she is making an 8 x 10 for me.
Wedding planning is hard work people! Whew!

TOMIC #13 BTS

Found myself with the day off, so I decided to join the Official Magnolia Challenge which is Back to School. Those days are behind me, but thought it would be fun to participate anyway. What popped into my head first was a lunch sack. It's decorated with apples cut out with Cricut cartridge. Although I don't have any school Tildas, this cutie works and added a big honkin' hair accessory (it's a southern thing y'all). ;)

Too soon for Halloween?

Fall can't get here fast enough for me. It has been another horrible heat filled summer and my patio set was used twice for maybe 3 hrs. total - ugh!
So I decided to bust out some Halloween papers/stamps. LOL Love my Hanglar witch and was so happy to have her in my collection. Black/white/orange is one of my favorite color combos and for this card, popped some purple in for good measure. :) Parts of her outfit are colored with orange Smooch, but my camera is officially dead-so my iPhone is all I've got now. My tag is cut out with a Cricut cartridge and I'm planning on cutting out lots of spiders this year to hang on my front porch.

August

Hard to believe that this has been my only post for August. Such a busy month with no real time for relax and stamp. My family went to Destin, FL for a week of beautiful beach weather. What a wonderful week we had and my daughter found her wedding shoes there! They were perfect - the exact color, height, and gemstones she wanted. We were so excited. Our last night we had a beautiful seafood dinner at sunset with ocean views. You just can't beat moments like that.
I had to add the poppies because of a boo boo with my sentiment - ugh!!!
Stamps - Tilda with hearts (Magnolia)
Papers - American Crafts
Ink - Memento and Copics
Misc. - ribbon, stickles, WOC flowers, signature heart sticker

Bow wow birthday

Hope the heat isn't too terrible where you are? I'm miserable because we have been smack in the middle of this heat wave and it doesn't look like cooler temps anytime soon. I'M MELTING!!!
Today features an adorable LotV stamp from their last release. Oh my how cute is this doggie. Even though it features a cupcake with puppy treats, I think it will work for any birthday. The candle and treats have stickles but they might not be showing up. Have a COOL day!
Stamps - Lili of the Valley girl with puppy - All that Scraps sentiment

Cool drinks anyone?

I hope this counts for a couple of challenges. Just Magnolia is cooking & All That Scraps is summer. Well Tilda is making a big batch of drinks and some cooking might be required right? lol Nothing makes me think of summer more than a nice cold drink and trust me we need them - it was 108 here today! Ack!!!!
I paired my mini chef Tilda with recipe cards and the little orange wrap is holding several of them and just slips off. Love these PTI recipe cards - just great gift presentation. These cards are going to my daughter.
