Happy Halloween

Are you ready for the little ghosts and goblins this evening, I'm not since I have yet to pick up any treats.  We usually don't get that many kids so I will pick something up on my way in from work.  I am not sure I am going to be home this evening because I am suppose to meet a friend for dinner.

I put today's card together last night as I was working on some other cards.  Just another signature simple card using my stash.  I used paper from the DCWV Year Round paper stack, a little bit of scrapper' floss, a spider brad and pumpkin stickers.  Now to decide who will be the recipient of this one card!

Be safe and have a great weekend.

Say Cheese

Today's simple 8x8 LO is one that has been on my to do list since the Spring.  The LO uses a picture  taken during a National Scrapbooing Day weekend crop.  Everything used to complete the LO came from my stash, I even pulled out my sizzix sidekick to cut the title.  The crop was held in Hagertstown, Maryland and was hosted by Cassie from Cassie's Craft Cafe.

It's Friday and we have lots going on again this weekend so I probably won't have a chance to scrap. We are having some fall temperatures so any outdoor activity will require jackets.  So what's on your calendar for the weekend, I hope it is something fun!

Wednesday Wanderings

Welcome to another edition of my Wednesday Wanderings!  I can't believe that it has been what seems like forever since I shared on my blog.  It's not that I haven't been scrappin' but I just haven't had the opportunity to share.   So today's post is more of a what have I been up to!

It has been almost two weeks since I went to my scrappin' retreat in Maryland which afforded me the opportunity to have a little "me time" where I got to hang out with some scrappin' friends and meet some others for the first time.  I am thankful for 'no frill' crops where you can do whatever you want, I didn't get alot done but I was able to almost finish one big project  I have yet to completely unpack, so that is going to be a work in progress as I continue to organize and purge.  I haven't even unpacked my laptop which is really strange for me.

I did make one card which went postal on Monday, I still have some other cards that I need to mail too.  I was back in Maryland last weekend for a football game so that meant I didn't have any time to scrap, I have been working on a few things this week and if all goes well I will have something to share by Friday.

Wishing you and yours a Wonderful Wednesday.

World Card Making Day

Yesterday was World Cardmaking Day and I put this simple card together last night so that I could at least say that I participated.  The inspiration for this card came after I seen a card posted on Scraps of Color.  I used my cameo to cut the sentiment and this week's free file from the Silhouette Online store .  I cut the leaves with my cricut using the Artiste cartridge and paper from the Year Round stack from DCWV.  I still have lots to do but for some reason I can't seem to stop creating!

Thinking of You

Today I am sharing one of the cards that I made last weekend, when I was trying to get some cards made using scraps.  I am so behind  so I'm making these generic cards and trying to get them in the mail as soon as I finish.  All items used have been in my stash for sometime and included some soft spoken stickers,  a button and twine.  I am sharing this card for week #40 blog post over at Scraps of Color, where the challenge was to  pick a card any card!

Today marks the start of my marathon packing task for my upcoming retreat.  I am not sure that I'll get to finish everything that I wanted to do before I leave but I do know that I've got to get this packing done so I can get something done at the retreat.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Did you have or schedule your mammogram yet?  If not I hope you will take the time to schedule yours today.

Today marks the start of breast cancer awareness so today's project is one that I created for one of the  challenges over at Scraps of Color.  The challenge was to  create a tag any size with a girl/ lady with a single word that encourages positive thoughts for Breast Cancer.  I used a dress form instead of a girl/lady image. Everything used  came from  my stash,  I have been trying to finish up some projects so that I can start packing for my retreat.  It hasn't been easy and of course everything is out of order, I am so looking forward to this little getaway!
