Clear Scraps~Fall magnets!

Hi guys~

I'm up over on Clear Scraps with a very cute and easy project.  It all came about because I wanted some "Falllish" magnets for my kitchen.  You remember the old refrigerator door,  right?

Well that is why I made them. You can see my post on Clear Scraps Blog.

**************************************

My mom is visiting and we have been junkin'~can't wait to show you some great finds.

I will post on gone junkin' friday (but no link up this month)

I have a couple re-purposed items to show you, I just need to take pictures.

We have been having rain, so that's been kinda hard to get done:):)

See ya soon~

Try It Tuesday~ another pumpkin and apron!!!

 Hi guys~

Yes another pumpkin. I had three that needed some TLC for sure.  This is no. #2.

I have done one more for Clear Scraps so be looking for that one in Nov.

I re-painted and covered the stem with burlap and started arranging flowers and fall leaves around the stem.

 The flower made out of netting is buy The Curtsey Boutique, gorgeous, right?

That flower was the inspiration for this piece.

I put felt on the bottom of the pumpkin. Makes it nice for sitting on tables.

************************************

Remember the carpenter's aprons~

Well I had a sweet friend ask me for some material because she wanted to give it a try, so here is 

Karen's ( Roosterhead Designs) Apron~

I love how it came together and all the cool stuff she has in the apron.  To see more of Karen's gorgeous work, here is her gallery link.

Bella Blvd and The Paper Bakery~go together!

 

hi guys~

This is a fun layout I did using some vintage:):) Bella Blvd and the some "boy" flair from The Paper Bakery .  They went together so good, you would have thought they were made to go together. Nice when that happens.

 

This is our "bubba's" 5th birthday.  He shared his birthday with his cousin's birthday, so I will be doing his birthday next.  They shared cupcakes too:):)

 

 

Loving the flair ~ perfect!!!

Nuts About You ~ Avocado Arts!

Hi guys~take a look at these cute:):):) cards I made, using this months stamp set, by Avocado Arts called Nuts About You!!!  There are several things I like about this set~one being, the squirrel.  I love the pop-out eyes.

 I stamped him twice and cut the eyes out and popped them up.

 The scare-crow is very fun and the leaves, so crisp!!

 I tried something different on the pumpkins.  I stamped on the backside of the pattern paper and then cut it out.  Then I added a little detail with marker pens.  Oh, and the stump, do you see the heart? Loved that added touch.

 

Take a look at the stamps, in the Avocado Arts store~super cute!!

Try It Tuesday~more than just a paper bag!

 Hi guys~

This is a class I took while in Florida last year with the Collins  Rep Group.  The mini was taught by Canvas Corp.  Fast forward to a month ago ~ I just finished it:):)

So happy:):):)

To make the album part you will need 3 medium size gift bags ( these are red) with the jute handles.

On one bag cut the handle off completely. On the front cover bag cut off the one that would be on the inside.  On the back cover cut off the one that would be on the inside.

You fold the bags in half~add pages, cut outs, pockets, clips etc.

 This shows you the inside pages of my mini.  You can decorate anyway you want to.

Fun project and super cute mini when you get done.

Creativity ~ Quote Stamp!

Hi ~ Connie here, with another quick scrapbooking page.  I used several different Darkroom Door stamp sets to make my embellishments and journal box.

The sets I used are~ Stamper and the Quote stamp " Creativity" and Everyday Life (for the journal spot).  The "stamper circles" I used a circle punch and just kinda of scattered them around the page.

 

I used  black ink by Ranger.  The journal box is cut in half and tucked under the Quote stamp.

Thanks for stopping by~
