More Christmas fun...

So I have been having fun making little Christmas planners and covering little list pads. Here are a few of the outcomes....



Here is one of my favorites...the picture is kinda bad...it is brown and green...


Snowflakes seem to be my favorite..

Christmas Cards...

So I am trying to figure out which one to use....and I don't think I am done playing around just yet. I also discovered a new store....archivers....NOT GOOD! That store is awesome. I think I had heard of it but I finally went in....it is super fun!!

Happy Friend Cards....

Bit of an update....

So it isn't that I have not been in my craft room...it is that I am a BAD blogger. My small camera broke, well the battery doesn't work, ordered a battery, doesn't keep a charge, ordered a new battery. I didn't realize how much I use it I guess!

Anyway, here are some of the things I have been working on for fall. I must say that Fall and Thanksgiving are really getting lost in the rush for Christmas!

Yeah Something NEW!!!

It took me awhile! It has been kind of a crazy fall. But it is time for a VERY IMPORTANT Birthday! Addison will be two!! Here are the photos of her birthday announcements! I had fun doing them but it got to be a bit more involved than I thought they would be. I think they turned out okay...what do you think??

Fun time in the craft room!!!

So lately I have had a chance to spend some time in my craft room. Here is a sampling of what has come out. I would love to know what you think!!! I am excited to be making some fall cards!!

Ciao Ciao!!!

Jen

Pirate Invites!

Okay Draft 1

What do you think?  I didn't have a lot to work with but just found another stamp set at Michaels...so I might have to give it another go! 

Andrea what do you think???  

Congrats Card!!

Here is the card to go with the other stuff....I had some Jolees stickers so I used those and in the background is watermarked "WFD" (Willmar Fire Department). It turned out okay I think. Thanks Case for the help!!

SO FUN!!!

So my Dad is retiring after 20 years of service to the Willmar Fire Department...here are the decorations!! I made them on my cricut!! It is the COOLEST!! These little dodads are going to go on kebab sticks and be in little steal pails of sand....how fun!!!!

I can't take the credit for the fire truck....I found the "pattern" on this cricut web site! http://www.cricutsoftcuts.blogspot.com/ I hope you enjoy!!

Quick Little Project

I have found that I LOVE to make these little notebook holders. They are fun, quick and super easy. Here is the most recent one! It is a gift for a friend (I am sure you know who you are...sorry I spoiled the surprise:)) This particular notebook came from Hobby Lobby (Addi's favorite store to talk about "obbylobby")

That is all for now..Wishing you all a happy week!!!

Inside folders...

Hey Karen....so good to hear from you! Here is the picture that you requested of the inside folders! Basically what I did was take a 81/2 X11 and trim it down, fold it, sticky strip the bottom, cut an angle and use the punch from stampin up...super easy! I forgot to mention that it has a cute little bookmark with a jingle bell on the bottom!! Geez, I am already getting excited for Christmas!!!

Christmas in July!!

Hey there! This is a book that I have been working on recently. I can't believe that I am doing something Christmas themed before November but hey...at least this way I can use it!! And I saw the paper at Hobby Lobby and was inspired! It is a holiday shopping planner! I bought the book at Michaels ($1) and recovered it. I made little folders for the inside to hold gift receipts and such. I thought it turned out pretty cute!

Coffee Time!

So when isn't it a good time for some coffee? I LOVE coffee and now when it is hot, iced coffee of course! Here is my latest coffee card!!

FOR THE LOVE OF PAPER!!!

So I created another blog to talk about paper. We have our family blog but that one is all about Addi. So now I have a new outlet to babble all I want about paper!!
