Flip Flop

Hope you love this fun beachy sandal as much as I do!  I used the cut file from The Cutting Cafe!  I used a flower from Really Reasonable Ribbon and a die from Crafter's Companion.

Be Merry!

Every second of everyday is planned...  I mean I even have to plan time to sit and watch all those Christmas classics with Bean!  I wish Christmas wasn't so demanding!  But I have to admit I love it!

The Adorable Stamp from SP and Company is In Love Emma and the Sentiment is from the SP and Company Stamps set called Cutest Ginger Bread Man.

I paper pieced her dress...so easy with Samantha's (SP owner) designs!

Ho Ho Ho...and BE Merry!
The shaped card can be found at The Cutting Cafe.  I LOVE these word cards that Regina the owner has been creating!  You can find more word shaped cards HERE.

Thank you for visiting!

Hot Chocolate Anyone?

Good morning friends and followers.  Well the weather is far from cold here on the Western Slope.  With Halloween just around the corner, it seems like it is time to throw in a Christmas themed project here and there.   This week I am using an adorable cutting file from The Cutting Cafe.  It is a hot chocolate packet holder.  This adorable holder will easily hold 2 small packets of hot cocoa and you could even use a chocolate stir spoon or peppermint stick in the bow.   To create the front of the hot chocolate holder, I have used a set from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps called Winter Scalloped Oval 3.  

Here on the inside of the card I have also used stamps from Winter Scalloped Oval 3

Viva Decor glitter pen finished and embellished the airbrushed scallop.

Here are the items I have used to create this Hot Chocolate holder for Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.

Cutting Up a Halloween Mini Book with Deloris (AKA Silhouette Cameo)

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a productive week so far.  Well I have been working Deloris overtime.  Hope she doesn't want a raise!!!  

This week Regina at The Cutting Cafe let all of the DT choose whatever we wanted to make!  Yeah I love ATG!!!  So I put myself to work on this adorable mini book for Halloween. Lots of sewing and glittering!! The SVG file can be found HERE.  It is called "Halloween Word Book 2".  It was a lot of fun to make.  Now I just need Bean in his Halloween Costume to add to the pages!  

BTW do you want to hear something STUPID and SILLY???  Well, I have a pink Bind It All.  I received it as a MUST HAVE on my Christmas list about 3+ years ago.  This was the 1st time I used it!!!  I will be using it more in the future!!!  Was super simple and fun!  Even Bean played with it!!!  I will have that boy crafting with me yet!!!

Oh The Webs we Weave

Well, it is already the last week of September....I think I better get in gear with a Halloween costume for Bean.  I just wish I knew how to sew more than paper....would make costuming a bit easier!

The Cutting Cafe is showcasing everything Chevron this week.  With the approach of the Haunting Hour, I decided to dress my Chevrons in a sparkly web.  The web and spidarious can be found HERE.  The Chevron I used is actually a cutting file!  LOVE IT!!! Deloris (AKA Silhouette Cameo) did a fab job cutting out all these fun SVG's!   

I hope all your webs sparkle this Halloween!!! 

Join us at The Cutting Cafe this Wednesday for more inspiration using Chevrons from my other fellow DT members.  Thanks for visiting!

Fall is in The Air

Well here in Colorado, Fall is in the air. We are still getting up into the 80's, but fall is showing it's face at night...dipping down into the 50's. I am already over winter and it hasn't even started!!! HA!

Today I have a fun card for The Cutting Cafe. Regina has some really cute digi's and an adorable acorn shaped card. I choose to do some cutting on my new "baby" I call her "Deloris" AKA the Silhouette Cameo! I used the print and cut feature and used my printer to color the "Give Thanks". Then I also did the print and cut for the pumpkin digi. I colored the pumpkins with my Copics. I singled out a leaf from a boarder on the "Autumn Days" set and instead of printing it I converted it to a cut out.  Then I cut it out in the corner of my background! WOW Deloris is fabulous...but I know she is keeping secrets I will have to unlock.

  If you have a Silhouette Cameo, I would love for you to come join our group at Color Me Creative. We have just formed a new Silhouette group. It is a learn all with tips and tricks from our DT. So, if your Deloris has told you some secrets, we would love to hear them!!! Join us!!!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Sunday!
Today I have a window card form The Cutting Cafe.  It is just in time for Easter!  

The Cutting Cafe Number + my new goodies!!!!

Good morning stampers.  Today I have a really cute shaped card by Regina at The Cutting Cafe!  She has a whole slew of number shaped cards from milestones to 0-9.  Perfect for birthday and anniversary, congratulations you name it!  Numbers can be used for almost every occasion.  I hope you will pop over to The Cutting Cafe and see all the fun items Regina has been "Cutting up"! 

Today I have used the number 6 for my shaped card.  This particular card is pretty cool as it has the number hanging off the side of the square card.  It comes with a number topper that fits directly on top of the number.  Therefore you can cut it our in a different pattern than your original card.

My son will be 6 when he starts kindergarten.  He will have to study hard and "Hit the books" if he wants to be a pilot!

Now for my new goodies.  See the adorable Pure Innocence-Plane Amazing little flier boy?  Well this is one of the stamps that just showed up the other day.  I am so excited to now have My Favorite Things in my collection.  Also see the fun Monarch boarder cut out of graph paper...well that is MFT too! 

I am entering this in the MFT Guest Designer Challenge at SCS.  Cross your fingers for me!

Here is a close up of the Plane Amazing Flier Boy

Too Cute!

Here is one of the sentiments that came with the set
