Happy Halloween!

Hello Friends and Happy Halloween! I can't wait to get Paige all dressed to go trick-or-treating this evening! My girlfriend's mom and sister made her the cutest little pumpkin costume! She's going to be adorable!

Can you believe that I did not make one craft for Halloween? I guess time just got away from me this year so unfortunately I don't have anything Halloweenish to share. But, I do have a random card, I always have a card. LOL!

So, my co-worker asked me to make a card for a friend who recently adopted a puppy. I immediately went to my LSS to look for some cute patterned paper, and I was not disappointed. I found this lovely paper from Authentique and it was absolutely perfect for this project. I decided to let the paper be the star of the show, so I did no stamping whatsoever. I found that sweet little puppy in the Silhouette Design store, I added a coordinating bow and that was it! I really love how it turned out.

 

Well, it's time for me get a nice hot cup of coffee to get my day started and watch cartoons with Paige. We have a lunch date with my friend later today (we're celebrating my birthday a little early) and meeting at California Pizza Kitchen - I love it there! I hope you all have a nice weekend, and a fun, happy, and safe Halloween.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Just Because

Hello Friends! Happy Sunday! I hope you're having a lovely weekend. We stayed home for most of the day yesterday and then we visited my mother-in-law which was nice because she loves spending time with Paige. After that we met some friends for dinner and let me tell you our dinner was the bomb! We went to a seafood restaurant that has the most incredible salad bar ever. I had macadamia nut encrusted snapper with a mango & strawberry salsa...DELICIOUS!

I was also able to get a little crafting time in as well. I continued making my Christmas cards and I'm having so much fun because I listen to Christmas music on Pandora while I'm working. It truly puts a smile on my face. I absolutely LOVE the holidays! My plan is to take photos of the cards today so I can share them with you soon.

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a co-worker. I think I really need to make a stash of these cards so I can have them on hand for any occasion.

This card came together really easily because the patterned paper is so darn pretty! It's from PTI and it's called Vintage Linens. I didn't do much except add the beautiful script die cut, also from PTI called Scripted and I picked up that cute button from my local craft store. Quick, easy and I think really pretty. Note to Self: I seriously need to take 30 minutes and just whip up a bunch of these. LOL!

 

I hope the rest of your day is great, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Welcome little one

Hello Friends! I hope you're having a great weekend! Oh my goodness, life has been a whirlwind over here! Things have been crazy busy at work, and just as busy at home. Paige wasn't feel well last week so I had to pick her up from "school" and bring her home. Thank goodness my honey was able to stay home with her the following day. She's feeling much better now, she's so sweet even when she doesn't feel good!

So, yesterday we had a family outing to the bowling alley. We had such a fun time and Paige almost beat me! LOL! After that, we took a drive down to Ft. Lauderdale for lunch and just relaxed, talked, and enjoyed ourselves. It's so nice that my husband is finally off on the weekends because now we can actually make plans and enjoy our weekends together!

I didn't even realize that's it's been so LONG since my last post and I truly apologize. But, I do have a card to share today. I made this one for the mother of one of Paige's classmates, she recently had a baby girl.

This card is little bigger than the standard A2 cards I normally make, I believe it was 5.25x5.25. I used Simple Stories Vintage Bliss patterned paper and I found the stork in the Silhouette Design Store. I added some enamel dots and few stamped hearts to finish off the card. I tucked a little gift card to Babies R Us inside because all mom's need STUFF! LOL!

 

Well, today I'm getting started on my Christmas cards - yup the holiday season is upon us, YAY! I hope to have a few ready to go by the end of the day. Have a great Sunday, and thank you so much for stopping by!
