Just catching up...

This month- like this year is flying by and my best intentions

to work on my own projects hasn't really happened much but I

got a few things done this weekend and will try to get more 

posted this week.  When I heard on the radio that

Christmas was only so many days away now, I thought I 

better start getting some things together and 

make up some things for the Holidays and fast!

This page I did with New Basic Grey papers!  The colors

were fantastic for this picture that I got of my great uncle

and family.  I have an amazing cousin who is the one to contact

for family info and she gave me lots of new ones 

but I have yet to scrap them!  So this is my first

but at least it is a start right?

This fun little mini book I created for some recipes I am 

giving with matching aprons that I have yet to make but

I am working on it...  The paper is from Pine Cone Press

and I layered lots of each paper and cut a white

lacy looking border with a Martha Stewart Punch.

I added some sparkly stickles to the front too

and a few flowers and some ribbon.

This book is just a folded 12x12 piece of paper

and you could make one to put cards and envelopes in too!

Thanks for stopping by.....  Teresa

Fun new papers from Webster's

I got to use some new papers from Webster's new lines 

for my 2 new layouts.  They have great sticker sheets and letters

and I love the Christmas because it has so many colors

it doesn't look like the traditional Christmas at all.

I used my Tim Holtz die to make the flowers and a leaf

die from Sizzix.  The snowflakes are these gorgeous 

stickers from Best Creation and they have a little 

opalie kind of look to them... they are really, really pretty

and super easy to use....

This was just fun paper to use to show all the fun souvenirs that

everyone got in the airport.  We all took lots and lots

of pictures at CHA so the camera theme kind of fit for me! :)

It's simple and i love the letters!!
You can get all these new papers at
Hearts N Crafts Etc and lots more from their new lines.

Hopefully I can get more things on the blog this week.

  I am catching up with life and 

my kitchen is finally done and I can cook again.  Whoo-hoo

so hope you like the new pages and hope you

create something fun for you today!

New Cards from Whipper Snapper

I had so much fun putting together some fun cards

for the Whipper Snapper Post on the 

Best Creation Blog this week!

We each got lots of stamped images and lots

of paper and cut, colored and inked

to our hearts content!!

I love that you can mix and match all of the papers

and they have so many gorgeous styles to chose from too!

I didn't get a title on this but I am going 

to add "Lucky to have a friend like You"

it fits perfect with all the cute shamrocks on it

don't you think!!!

The colors for this card were so pretty and bright

and has so much fun glitter and shiny things...

I love snowmen so this is probably my favorite card 

with all the pretty snowflakes and the super cute snowman stamp

besides the easel card below with the surfing mouse!

don't you love his cute board shorts :)

On this card I cut lots of extra leaves to pop out the tree from 

where this adorable monkey is hanging from.  This paper

is actually from their St. Patricks line but it kind of looks

like a jungle too... love the colors!

I love the puppy with the cute little bone in his mouth

and the stars and reds and blues seemed to work

pretty good for this card.  I found this red bone paper clip 

in my stash that went perfect on the ribbon.

Hope you liked all the cards, it was a really fun challenge

for all of us on the Best Creation D.T.

Thanks for stopping by....

Have a great weekend!

Lot's of New Projects to Share

It's been a really busy week with all the new things

happening at home and making lots of new projects

 with all the new papers coming out!

I have lots more in the works and will have more this week
but here is a few to share.....

Card Club this month was filled with lots of fun

inking and embossing techniques.

We masked, inked, embossed, sprayed and 

glittered up lots of cards for the month.

The stamps were all from Stampendous' New Halloween

and fall collection and papers from Basic Grey,

Graphic 45 and MME & Bazzill.

We all had lots of fun and can't wait to get

messy again next month with Tim Holtz products! I so love that!!

I got my Whipper Snapper order in fast for these way too

cute stamps and used my favorite Best Creation papers

to make this patchwork backround for the adorable

scarecrow.  I popped up lots of sunflowers and colored him 

with my chalks and copic markers. I got out my 

sewing machine and stiched around the edges and colored him

with copic markers.  Isn't he cute !!

I used a Best Creation border paper for this card and 

cut from 2 sides and glued it together for the 

backround of this little ghost train.  The cute little

hat I found fit perfect on him and the ribbon added

the right sentiment and touch to finish it off I think :)

I love these stamps can you tell?

So all of us were creating things at BC with Bats and I had this idea

to make this fun trick or treat bucket !

My daughter and niece can trick or treat forever just to see who

can get the most candy so this is made just for her!

(Although it probably will get filled up about 10 times or more :)

I think next year I can decorate a wheel barrow maybe (hee-hee)

but anyway....

I actually redid the sticker on the front 

by running a punched out scallop circle of 

the bat paper and adding the More Candy less Tricks

to it.  I just glued it over the original so that the happy halloween still

showed around the edge  and added lots of bats and

strips of pumpkin and candy papers.

It was really fun to do :)

So thanks for stopping by and hopefully

I can get lots more things on this week...

Have a great weekend!

Argggg- its a pirates life for me!!

We had such a great weekend at the Tall ships Festival in Dana Point!

They have had this for 26 years now and I think we have been there

for about 10 and it never gets old.  I love all the ships as they sail 

around before Sunset and sitting on the jetty it 

seems so cool to see the ships as they did a 100 years ago or more!

And we love the pirates! All the kids love taking pictures

with them and there was this cute little boy and his brother

making pirate noises like argggg as they took their picture.

I laughed so much, it was so cute to see :)

There was lots of great food and now they even have

a show on the Pilgrim with red coats and everything!

It was absolutely gorgeous weather and we had a blast!

I love this picture!! It looks so neat as the boats sail around in the Sunset :)
