Thinking of You

I went to Hobby Lobby today and bought a stack of Random paper for $2.50. I saw this pink and black paper and knew I wanted to make a card with it. My friend Georgiana at Carson's Cricut Creations gave me the Summer in Paris Cartridge for my birthday this summer and I have not used it until today. I thought the design went well with the images on the cartridge. Most women love shoes so I thought this would fit perfectly with the card.

This card was made for a challenge from Mojo Monday. I loved the Layout and will use it to make some more cards in the future.

Happy Birthday to a Cool Little Man!

 My nephew's birthday is coming up in January. He is turning 3 and loves cars so I decided to make him a special card with a car on it.

I used one of my newest cartridges Nifty Fifties. I love all the cute cuts on this cart.

This card was made for two challenges.

#1 Party Time Tuesdays Anything Goes Birthday Card Challenge.


 #2 My Time Craft Challenge Make a project using something brand spanking new to you on it

For the hop I decided to make a card and gift tags. 

The Reindeer is cut from Jolly Holidays. My cousin bought it for me on Black Friday and just brought it too me last night. There were so many cute things to choose from. I decided to use the reindeer.




 The Gift Tags were made using Sweet Treats. I found the Stamper a long time ago and have been waiting to use it. I love it and can't wait to make more tags.


Here is the line up in case you get lost.

Fall Hop Day 3

What a busy Saturday it was yesterday for me. I managed to take my daughter to the zoo, go out to lunch with a friend and her kids, and craft all day long. I was exhausted by the end of the day.

For my last project, I thought I'd share some more of the scrapbook pages for my grandmother. I haven't finished the book yet, but I did manage to create 3 layouts. I have enjoyed doing this blog hop. Please stay tuned sometime Monday for the winner of the blog candy.

Enjoy,

Yvette

Thank You

On Friday my school had their annual Fall Festival. I usually have a bunch of parent volunteers and this year I only had a few. One parent stayed the entire time with me at my booth. I decided to make a card to tell her how thankful I was for her help. I think I would have been totally exhausted if I didn't have her to help with the booth.

This card was also made for the Alphabet Challenge Blog -B is for Birds. I knew I wanted to do an Owl card for this parent and when I saw this challenge I knew it would be perfect. I bought the paper from the dollar spot at Target.

Enjoy!

Fall Hop Day 2

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday. The weather here in Florida is absolutely wonderful. I love it when it begins to feel a bit like Fall.

For my second project I have a banner. My cousin knows how much I love to make banners and she asked if I could make two. Here is one. I couldn't get a great picture. So I took a bunch of close ups.

Fall Blog Hop Day 1

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Welcome to day 1 of our Fabulous Fall Blog Hop. I will be giving away some Christmas Blog Candy. The only requirements are that you 1. Become a Follower and 2. Leave a comment.

 My family is having a huge Thanksgiving reunion and I was asked to make some things. The reunion is mainly going to honor my grandmother Iris. She is such a wonderful grandmother. She has 8 children, 27 grandchildren, and a great number of great grandchildren. Just recently she also became a great great grandmother. So in order for her to cherish the memories that we will create, I decided to make her a Thanksgiving scrapbook. I bought an 8x8 scrapbook and have made several pages for the book. I know that she will love it. Here is part 1 of the Thanksgiving scrapbook.

Enjoy!

Last Day of the Halloween Blog Hop

Sorry, I am posting a little late. I was so tired yesterday after running around with Olivia. I passed out around 9:00. 

I've had a lot of fun doing this Blog Hop. There were so many projects I wanted to do, but never had enough time. 
I found these really cute tin pails at the Dollar Spot at Target and knew I could come up with something.  I love tin pails, you can do so much with them. I used my Mini-Monsters cartridge to cut out Frankenstein and The Witch's Hat. I added a white shadow to both images. I love the ribbon too.

I wanted to make one more project using a bat. I absolutely love bats. They are fascinating animals.  The only cartridge that I had that had a cute bat was Dress Up Paper Dolls. In the inside I'm going to put "I'm Batty ForYou!"

I hope you enjoyed all my Halloween projects. Be sure to stop by once in a while to see all the other creations I make. 

Check back tomorrow for the winner of the Blog Candy!

Day Two

Thanks for all the wonderful comments.What a beautiful day it was yesterday on the first day of October. I love Fall! I had the day off yesterday. I got to craft all day. I  managed to get a banner done while trying to keep my two year old busy. I love making banners, they always add so much to any holiday or celebration. I used the Country Life cartridge for the banner background. For the Trick or Treat letters, I used SCAL and a font called Hurry Up. I really love the way it turned out. I might add some more little details later on if  Little Miss Sassy will let me.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the final day of the Blog Hop. I will post the winner of my Trick-or-Treat blog candy on Monday. Remember you must become a follower and leave a comment to qualify for the drawing.

Thanks for participating in our Halloween Blog Hop.

For my first project I decided to make a frame. I bought a wooden frame from Michael's and painted it black. I used my Mini Monsters cartridge to cut out the lollipop and the "sweet" phrase. The picture in the frame is from last Halloween. My daughter dressed up as Dorothy and my nephew was the Scarecrow. They were so cute! 
Stay tuned tomorrow for another fun Halloween project.
