Warning. . .

This post is picture heavy! It has been a while. Why is it, that the older you get the faster time flies? I can't believe that Thanksgiving is going to be here next week! Yikes!

So, like most everyone I know, things have been really crazy at my house lately. Not all work, I have had some fun lately too. A couple of weeks ago, I was attended an all day crop, put on by Fiskars. It was a blast. I got to work without having to rush to finish anything. It was very relaxing, and I met a ton of great gals. I did not take any pictures, so I up loaded this one from the website.

It is small, but I guess it has to be. There were 100 of us! So much fun. I highly recommend that you attend an annual Fiskateers crop if you can. For more information, go here.

In other news, I finished the cards for my card kit. We were going to do a class again, but with the holidays coming up, we couldn't find a date that would work for both Paige and I. Hopefully, next month will work out better. Here are the cards.

This one is all American crafts. I added some stickles to the mitten for a bit of flair.

I used American Craft products on this one too.

This one is Bazzill dot paper and some stamps, a few buttons, and bit of rhinestones.


For this one, I just used these really cool glittery snowflakes that I found at Michaels. It is a really simple card, but I thought it was just perfect.


This last card used some old paper from K & Co. I also added some stickles to the stars and the punched out holes.

This one was the easiest. I used Heidi Grace cards (that I found on clearance, yeah!) and her papers too. So sweet!

For my November layout class, I had three layouts. Here they are.

For this first one, I used a combination of S.E.I papers (older line) and the new ChatterBox embellishments. They went together very well.


For the second and third layouts, I used the new lines from Crate Paper. I couldn't get enough of this paper. It just feels good in your hands, and it looks spectacular too!

For this one, I added some old S.E.I velvet paper. I used it sparingly, but it looks amazing. It is a bit hard to tell in this photo. I used it for the title and in the far right bottom corner.


This one is all ChatterBox. I love this paper. Super perfect for any fall activity.

I actually learned how to do french knots for this layout. Here is a close up. Aren't they cool?

So that is it for the class. I do have one more for you today though. I finished my Halloween layout with pictures of the little one. I love them. He had just discovered candy! Cute then, but now he wants it all the time! Ha!


Here's a close up of that sucker sticking out of his mouth!

So, that is it for tonight. I do have more for you, but this is already a long post, so I will save those for a later one. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great one.
