Halloween Cards

So I know it's a little early for Halloween Cards, but I am headed to craft fairs right around that time so I am going to need a variety of holiday cards as well as everyday!! So this is the start of Halloween cards!!

GoT sOmEtHiNg DoNe ToDaY!!!

So I haven't had much time to craft lately... and so today after a quick trip to the Mall this morning, the dear husband went for a bike ride which left me time to head out to my dusty craft desk and put some stuff together!! Still on a brad buddies kick.... so trying to use one of everything I've got!!

Diaper Cake.... Mailable

So I made another Diaper Cake this weekend as well.... been a busy one!! I get asked to do these things and I can't say NO..... I need to learn to say NO, but it just doesn't seem to be in my vocabulary. I guess what the heck though it's extra cash right?!?!? So I'm not totally sure that I love this one... I made it with very few diapers and it had to only be two tiers as it is being mailed and had to fit into two flat rate boxes... I had pink, yellow, and green to work with equally kind of crazy colors to combine but I think it turned out ok? It was strange to not have three layers and make it on a smaller scale.

Last ONE!!

And this one is for My Grandpa.... pretty simple anyone kinda card......

Another Father's Day Card

This one is for TaTa... Micheal calls my Mom's husband that.... and you just can't find a card that says that on Father's Day.... so we have to make our own!!

And another Father's Day Card

Here's the one for Eric's Dad...

I ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING!! YEAAAAAAHHHH

Fathers Day Cards!! What do you get a bunch of men that have everything..... a thoughtful card, and some lottery tickets, that seems to be my answer to everything now a days!! It's easy, it gives thereceiver something fun to do and well hopefully they win something!! So here you go.... this one is for My Dad who LOVES Mickey Mouse!! I'm in love with my new cartridge the Wild Card... This is the booklet card, and I just added my own little ticket holder.

New Wild Card Cartridge

So I haven't crafted a card in a week.... there are 4 7 week old today kittens that have taken over my crafing

space!! SO ADORABLE.... but NOTHING is gettin done!! I headed out there tonight with my dear little boy following me and tried to be creative... after pulling my teeth out this is all I came up with... oh and a pile of other cuts... that just didn't work that I'm sure I will use at some point!

cHiLl OuT fOr SuMmEr

Micheal thinks these are the coolest thing I made today!! He wanted to give his friends something for the end of the year.... so I grabbed a box of Otter Pop look alikes and put three together tied with a ribbon added tags that said "Chill out this Summer" and signed each of them from Micheal. Can't wait to get to school to hand them out!!

EnD oF tHe YeAr GiFtS

Micheal has his main homeroom teacher that he spends most of his day with but like every other school he has a couple of other teachers. So I made these little gifts for the rest of his teachers... very simple little boxes filled with candles and a candle holder wrapped in a cellophane bag tied with a ribbon and a tag wishing them a great summer! He is very excited to hand these out in the morning.

I made this for Micheal's teacher as a Thank You gift for the end of the year. Saw a similiar idea on the Cricut message board, tweaked it and made my own version. Filled it with Smarties and a Starbuck's gift card and called it done!

LaDyBuGs ArE sO cUtE

Ladybugs are SO Cute!!

More BrAd BuDdIeS cards!!

And here are a few more!!

Brad Buddies..... I LOVE THEM!!

Got my collection of Brad Buddies out today... and this is what I came up with!!

Thanks!!

I love the "thanks" on Walk in My Garden... can you tell!! I kinda pumped these out today in the different color schemes..... not much creativity involved after I figured the layout out, but I need lots of colors and styles for the craft fairs.... so here I go!!

Gift for the 26 year old who loves horses!!

A gift I made for my brother back in April for his 26th birthday..... couldn't think of anything to get him..... so I made this with 26 one dollar bills as the pasture!!

French Message Boards 1st Try!!

I've been wanting to try one of these for awhile.... and after we looked for Cork Board we came across these cute 12X12 squares.... and decided instead of making one, we would make a set to hang... that would double as a piece of wall art and a cute picture / note holder!! YEAHHHHHH somewhere to hang my new card creations.
