Halloween Treat Baskets

Here are the Halloween treat baskets that I made this week. I will let my daughter take some for teachers at her school and the rest will be for my co-workers. It feels really early to be working with Halloween stuff, but I know that I will be happy that they are done when October gets here. Thanks to http://www.heartprints.net/ for the inspiration for this project. :)

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

What a fun day I have had today. I got to scrapbook with my step-Mom and neither of us even had to travel. We both enjoyed our first "skypeing" experience. We worked for probably 4 hours together and had such a GREAT time! Technology really is amazing. So...if you haven't tried skypeing, I totally recommend it. Thanks Mom for a great day of scrapbooking!

A Hundred Hearts

I know, I know...it is hard to believe, but I actually did finish something in my craft room this weekend. This is the anniversary card that I made for my husband. Our 5th Anniversary is on May 8th.

I used a House Mouse stamp called "Everything is coming up roses" and then matted that image with the white on white look. I cut another mat on the cricut with a scallop edge and heart cut outs. I then used two of the hearts that were cut out and attached them to the corner ribbon with jump rings. I put a little J on one and a S on one (our initials) and then covered the hearts in Glossy Accents. The hearts sort of attached to each other during the drying process, but I thought that was fitting and actually a "happy mistake".

The inside of the card says
"A hundred hearts
would be too few
To carry all my love
for you."

Ooops! I didn't realize until Mom mentioned that she had the wrong date for our anniversary on her calendar that I typed the wrong date in my post. Now it is fixed.

Valentine's Day card for my Husband

I just love the way this card turned out. Hopefully he will love it too!

Happy Birthday to my blog!

Everyone seems to be having so much fun with their blogs and I just had to join the fun. I am excited to have one place to showcase my creations. Hopefully this will be an inspiration to you as well as a continued inspiration to me!
