There was 3 little witches...

...and they all live in a little town in Florida. I wish I looked this good, LOL!! But I guess if I am referring to myself as a witch I have to magic to do so!! I told my girls we were these three witches and they both wanted to be the one with the purple hair! I AM SO in trouble when the teenage years arrive. Start praying for me now please!

This year is going by so fast. I can't believe we are already deciding what to wear for Halloween and before you know it the little goblins will be at the door for candy!

 This is WitchKeys from Saturated Canary digi's. I love them but then I love pretty much all of Krista's images! Let me know what you think!

 

 

It's World Cardmaking Day! Hope you get a chance to play today! I have a couple of errands to run but my table is all set for me to return to and play, can't wait!!!

Tilda Witch Paperbag

Hello Everyone! It’s officially October! Time to start figuring out what my girls will be for Halloween. At what age to do they stop wanting to go out for Halloween? I’m ready for it to be now, LOL!! Funny thing is they don’t even eat all the candy they collect. They count it, separate it into favorites, trade pieces with each other then that’s it…Just a couple of nibbles but nothing special.  Weird Kids I tell ya! Actually I did the same but I ate it too! My hips are still showing it, LOL!! So it’s a good thing and I am sure their dentist likes it too.



Have I ever told you that I have a stamping twin? She‘s my best bud ,Tracy. This weekend we got together for some play time, always fun!  I call her my twin because we could weeks at a time not seeing eachother  then we post either the same sketch with the same paper or we color the same. That happened this weekend with this Sitting Witch Tilda. Tracy pulled her colored image out and talked about creating something with a paperbag… I about fell off my chair and then showed her the pics I had saved in my blogger drafts. Then she almost fell off her chair laughing. Same image!! Except her little witch was colored in purple hair. I’m sure she will pop up soon but for now you can show her some love with her coffin and Vampire Edwin here.

So a couple of details, I got this idea from Claudia Rosa and her Christmas paper bag. Love her blog too! I love this Echo Park Halloween paper. It’s about 2 years old and this is pretty much the end of it. I think I used every bit of it and now I am sad….I do have one more card to share with this paper later on…She is colored in Copic markers and the handmade flowers are an MFT die. LOVE how quick they came together. I will be using a lot more of those dies for sure.  Love to hear what you think…

My Little Sewing Kit

Hello Everyone! Here's a quick little post that I found in my drafts while searching for another lost post! Actually I was looking for lost pics that I thought I photographed and drafted but I didn't. I'm losing it!!

Anyway, there is always something around here that needs a quick stitch. My youngest is short and most of her pants need a hem. Then within a week or so she goes through a growth spurt and they have to let out! So I keep this little box handy with a needle and thread so such occassions.

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday. It's one day closer to Friday and the weekend. I'm excited about this weekend. So far the plan is to have some playtime with my best stamping buddy, Tracy from Tracy's Stamping Corner. We talk stamps, we talk paper, ribbon and we really do get some stuff colored and maybe put together! LOL!!

Challenges:
For Fun Challenges: Use a stamp

First Day of Autumn

 

Happy Fall! The weatherman on tv this morning just informed us that even though it's the first day of fall it's not going to feel any cooler...SHOCKER! It is going to be a super rainy one so I guess being overcast will have to do.

 

 

WoooHooo! Finally got to play with my Pumpkins on a Vine from There She Goes. SOOOO Cute! Love all thier stamps sets and slowly building my stash. This was my first set that I had to have a couple weeks ago. Crazy that I didn't get to ink it up sooner but I guess I wasn't in the fall coloring mood just yet.

 



So does my apple look like a pumpkin? Yes I said apple. I came across the cutest chipboard shapes in Michaels $1 bin. They had apples and pears. I was hoping with a little paper magic I can make my apple look like a pumpkin. I think I did pretty good.

 

So let's see a few details...my paper is Authentique's Thankful. I colored my little cuties in Copics. Leaves are a spellbinder die and I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for texture. I created this little hanger for a class project I will be teaching at my local scrapbook store. I will be returning to The Scrapbook Store and More to teach in early October after being a few months away. I hope all my friends come back and join me for class. I missed them!

 

Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Party Like a Rockstar

 

Another birthday in my house!! August and September is all about birthdays here! My big girl is 11! Yesterday I kept repeating that she was turning 10! She was like, "No MOM! But don't worry I'm still your baby." Awwwww, she makes my heart skip! She is also sooo opposite of my youngest. She loves music and dance, and my little one is art and tv. I just love them! And that they both have some sort of creativity. It's good for the soul, lol!

So who better than this adorable digi from Saturated Canary named Dance Music to Party like a Rockstar! I just love the music notes in her hair. You can only wonder what she is listening too. She's done in Copic markers and is sitting on Authentique's Delightful paper. All so yummy!

My big girl's birthday is actually Thursday! But with kid's birthdays it's always a weekful of events! I still say ten! I don't want them growing anymore! When she's 40 she'll appreciate me holding her back! LOL!

Hello Fall?? maybe...

Hello Fall...maybe?? I don't get much of a Fall or Winter here. It's more like Spring and Summer only, but Fall happens to be one of my favorite seasons. When I lived up north I loved watching the leaves change, feeling the crisp breeze.It was Hot Apple Cider in the fall then Hot Cocoa for the winter.

Don't get me wrong though...I don't want to go back to the cold. I still love wearing shorts in November! So my way of bringing Fall home is by decorating in it's rich colors, I burn the best Pumpkin Spice candle from Yankee candle too! AND I make cards and projects!

Here is my newest Maggie. I got to experimenting with some colors with her sweater. I honestly wish I wrote the colors down because I don't remember what I did but I like it! What do you think?

Addicted to Stamps: Markers
