Holidays are a comin'

It has been a mad house around here, mostly cuz I am insane when hubby is away lol. He is home now and I am back on track for paper crafting. Here are a couple tags I created for a swap
I am in with other consultants. The first tag is O Christmas Tree using the sentifment from Magical Season (CTMH) While the cardstock, ribbon and stamp are CTMH the incidental beads and brad are from my stash. The second tag is all CTMH with the image being from the stamp set Gloria. I actually enjoyed just sitting back and using my markers to colour it all in while watching TV. I heat embossed the intire image in clear 3 times so it would be nice and thick. Now I have to finish cutting paper for tomorrows class and then assemble my calendar for a friend swap I am in. Til then...

Where's the time go

Holy moly I have been busy doing nothing!!! Actually I have been cutting paper for upcoming classes mostly and did put together this layout for the class at the end of the month. The class is on Monday Nov 24th at 7 pm OR Saturday November 29th at 1 pm. Cost is $5, please bring your own adhesive. RSVP by November 22nd.

I joined a swap with other CTMH consultants working on gift tags. I am trying to come up with a WOW idea or two and have been using the new Gloria stamp set for the first time. Will post a pic when I get it figured out ^^

Hubby is away hunting and it is always hard to get motivated to do anything, cook, clean, function (lol) and never make it to bed at a decent hour. Only 10 more days and he will be home - of course that's when the work begins making sausage!!!

Breast Cancer Awareness and Blog Candy...

Cuz you just know the two go together!!

This little group of goodies will go to one lucky winner and all you have to do is either subscribe to this blog or leave a comment by Monday October 20th. Now why Breast Cancer Awareness??? Well this is Breast Cancer Month and I am finally going for my very first mammogram. I know, sad at 46 to be going for my first but at least I want to celebrate about it and share some goodies with my friends. These goodies include; corner rounder, rub ons, 1" stamp and block, foam tool, metal tokens, and 3 cards using CTMH silhouette paper. Now it's your turn, if it's time for you to get one, go for a mammogram!!!

Croppin the Weekend Away....

I swiped all these pictures off of Coral's (DIL) facebook pages!! She is an amazing photographer - maybe not so much for the clarity of the picture but definitely captures the moments! I love the shadows of Adreanna on the wall - used the Notebook bulk paper for the layout. There is more I will add but of course I did not drag my entire scrap room to the crop...ish lol. The colours in the Whoop si Daisy paper pack totally matched Adreanna's sweater. I cut out the edges of the flowers and used them as photo corners. My favorite picture above all this weekend is of my son Josh. Coral did an amazing job of getting his picture in the rear view mirror. I used CM paper for the background and matting - and CTMH Dimensional Elements for the scroll and brackets. There is one more day to the crop but I think I will work on upcoming card workshops. Happy papercrafting everyone!! Ciao, Sandra
