Happy Fall

It has been a while since I entered any contests or posted here! We've been busy!  I decided that since Simon Says Stamp had an Anything Goes challenge that I would go ahead and make something!  I love making these Julie Nutting canvasses! So, I'm entering that.  We had our first Thanksgiving with Steve's extended family this weekend. Mitch got sick so he couldn't go but we had a great meal!

Thanks for stopping by. If you get a chance, "comment" in and say hi! I'll try to get back around to you!

Buzzing with Good Wishes

I created this using this fun sketch from Page Maps with the challenge to change the shape! When I saw this sketch, I immediately thought of my CTMH Quick Cards— Bumble Bee stamp and my Spellbinders hexagon shape to make the card! The "buzzing with good wishes" takes place of the little banner/border.  I also embossed the yellow part with a Cuttlebug folder and then inked it up.  I sprayed a little Mr. Huey Mist on the card as well as coloring the bee with some shimmerz powder and then covering the entire bee with liquid glue!  The buttons are from Basic Grey and the charm came from Michael's (don't know the brand). The twine is from The Twinery!

Thanks for looking! I love this card!

Meeting Charlie!

Mitchell is meeting Charlie for the first time the day after we brought him home.  Charlie was so tiny then, weighing in at a little over 3 pounds!  He just had his 12 week check up Friday (1/25), and he weighs 9 pounds 3 ounces.  He's a whopper now!  He looks like a gangly teenager with long legs--he also has floppy ears that are almost too big for his cute face. I need to get a photo of him before he changes again!!!

Anyway, I made this for PageMaps Fancy Pants Love Note sketch contest.  I felt bad but the only paper I had on hand of Fancy Pants did not go with these photos or the sketch.  But, I did at least use their letter stickers!  The rest is Jillibean Soup!  The 2012 tag is American Crafts. And, the cute little pup stamp is from October Afternoon.  I thought this came together well and was very happy to get a chance to scrap with a "new baby" in the house. He still requires almost constant attention to avoid little peepee messes in the house and avoid our carpet being devoured!!!!  

Our Realtor had an open house at our old house today, so we are crossing our fingers that someone there or someone else will make an offer soon!

Hope you are having a great weekend. I'm spending most of the weekend working--which is a good thing right now!
