Orange Halloween tags

I've got the last  of my Halloween tags for you.  There isn't much difference from the others except they are orange. 

So my camera is officially broken.  I've tried several different memory cards and none work.  I can still take 5 pictures with the internal memory.  I have been able to take pics with my playsport video camera but they aren't fantastic.  I'll be shopping for a new digital camera soon but I still have another dentist appointment to pay the co-pay for.  Cross your fingers that I find an outstanding camera for a really fantastic price!!

Ingredients:

Manilla Shipping tags

Craftsmart Black acrylic paint

Target $ spot - paper, chipboard, ribbon

Stamp - Studio G

Walmart 3D stickers

I love Friday!

I'm so happy that its Friday. Tonight my friend Beth is having a Tastefully Simple party. So I get to have yummy dips and soups tonight! Yea!!

But on a sad note my camera won't work and I have no idea why :( Every time I turn it on it tells me that the card need formatting but when I format the card the screen reads "can not read card". The card works in my Kodak play spot, so I don't think its the card. I'm pretty sure Anthony is going to have kittens when I tell him that my camera that I've had less than a year doesn't work anymore. Not really a conversation I'm looking forward to.

I have some more Halloween tags to show you. I painted these citron green. Then added stickers, rub-ons, chip board and ribbon.

Everyone have a fabulous Friday and weekend! If you're in the area we'll be cooking smores over our firepit this evening about 8 o'clock, just bring graham crackers (I forgot to buy them).

Well Happy Wednesday!  So Gleeks how was Glee last night.  I wasn't able to watch since I had laundry to put away and bathrooms to clean.  Actually Anthony bought a new game and he was so excited about it I didn't want him to have to stop playing it so I could watch my show.  So I'll be watching it this evening

Today I have two sets of Halloween tags to show you.  I painted manilla shipping tags black, added a bit of paper to each and try to use up my stash of Halloween embellishments.

You are the best!

Just a simple little card using The Greeting Farms Stella.  Isn't she just the cutest ever.  I'm kind of stuck on these colors though.  Mostly because they are on my desk at the moment.  All the CS is PTI.  The sentiment is from a Studio G set.  The buttons are Fancy pants and I got the cute flowers from the $1 Spot at Target.  I followed The Sweet Stop sketch #54.  I'm also entering it into the Fab 'n' Funky Challege no DP.

Glee tonight!!  I'm looking forward to hanging out with my Hubby and watching it.  He doesn't actually watch it but since his computer is and the TV are in the same room I think of it as hanging out.

Everyone have a Glee-tastic Tuesday!

Happy Birthday to my Sister!

I made this card for my sister, Heather.  I hope that she likes it, but seeing as I didn't send a present with it she might be a little peeved.

The image is from Sassy Studios.  Every quarter Lindsay will have a special free digi for those that have sent her their birthday.  Birthday Surprise is the first quarter image.  You can find the info on how to get you name on the Sassy Studio birthday list --->HERE<--- while you are there join the SS PCP page. It is printed on PTI white cardstock and colored with Triart markers.  The sentiment is from Perfectly Clear stamps.  Both CS are DCWV and the PP is from last years Valentine paper from Targets $Spot.  The green ribbon is some I found in the bottom of my ribbon box.  I love using scraps!!

Happy Thursday to everyone!  I'm glad that the weekend is almost here. I think I'm going to have to take a little Mommy holiday.  School was canceled Tues and Wed and the girls didn't give me much time to craft.  I was staying up late just to get all the Valentine goodie bags ready for R's class party today.  Here's one of the Valentine cards I made for one of R's teachers.  I know the picture isn't great I had to snap them real quick last night so R could take them to school this morning.  I've just about used all the Valentine theme paper I got from the Target $ Spot.  I love how the red heart on this one are all shiny.  The image is a freebie from Digital Delights.  I think you can still get it                --->HERE<----   I used stickles to outline the cloud, I'm not sure you can see it but I thought it turned out cute.  I also used Glossy Accents on his wings.  The white ribbon and red and white buttons I had in my stash.

Some randomness!

Just some cards that I haven't posted yet.

The first two I used a coloring page for the image.  My hubby often asks me why I'm browsing the free coloring page sites.  The last card the image is from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Happy Friday!  Have a great weekend.  We are going to the in-laws so I'll be back on Monday.

More Challenges!!

Can you tell that I'm having fun doing all these challenges!!  The Hubby is home this week so I've had time to play without entertaining Clara as well.  Although I do keep my desk neater when shes creating with me.

I'm entering this card into three challenges this week!! 
I used Core'dinations Black Magic Hypnotic for the base and the mat behind the image and I randomly sanded it.  You can't see it as well in the picture but I love how it turned out.  The PP is again from the Targe $ spot, the sentiment is a Heidi Grace.  This image is a Digi from Karen Doodles.  Itsn't it just the cutest!!  You should check out her blog.  She is giving away one free digi to her followers.

Doodle Dragon Challenge!!

So if you didn't know Dustin Pike has a new challenge blog Doodle Dragon Studio Challenge.  I love Dustin's images which you can find HERE.  If you like his images you should be following his blog because he has freebies on Wed. so go check it out now.  I entered this card into the Doodle Dragon first challenge.  The theme is Love/Valentines day.  The due date is Saturday the 23rd so you still have time to join.

I think I used the last of my brown scraps on the base of this card.  The PP and the heart brad are all from Target's $ spot.  I'm going to have to get more of this paper to actually use if for what I bought it.  The image is from Dustin Pike.  I followed along on the Doodle Dragon Challenge's first ever blog hop and got this image called Cupcake Farmer.  Isn't he just the cutest!!  You can check out Doodle Dragon Studios to purchase him.  I cut him out using my Spellbinders Nestibilities Label One and colore him with my trusty BIC markers and my Triart Markers.

Happy {heart} day!!

I'm so excited!!  I made a card that I can enter in three challanges!!  This is a first for me.  I love the way this card turned out.  I like it so much that I may not be able to give it to anyone!  Isn't the image just to cute! It is a freebie from Michelle Perkett Studio. You can get this image too over at Michelle Perkett Studio at the PCP (paper craft planet).  By the way I love the PCP.  The brown paper I used from my scraps, I'm trying to clean that out.  All three PP is from the Target $ Spot.  Gotta love Target $ Spot!!  The happy {heart} day stamp is a $ stamp from Micheals.  I clear embossed it but the pic is so bad its hard to tell.

*edited to add that I added some lines to the middle cake so I could use all three colors*

PDS Challenge

Happy Saturday to everyone!!

I love how this card turned out!! I've been trying to enter some challenges here and there. I'm not very good at the specific ones. Over at the Pixie Dust Studio Pixie Challange blog they challenged us to use elements with letter that spell FAB. I have to tell you the F and B came pretty easy for me. I had no clue what to use for the A. I already had my papers layed out and my DIGI image of Swiss Pixie Heidi colored with my BIC markers. I just couldn't for the life of me figure out what to add that began with the letter A. So I was checking out the design team's creations and discoved that yes indeed I already had an element that began with A. My argyle paper!! I felt like such a knucklehead.

F- flowers (Prima)
A - Argyle paper
B- Brad



Today is my birthday!! So next week I will be posting a blog candy you won't want to miss!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Halloween goodies!

Now that Rhalynn is in school I actually have a place to send all of the goodie bags I like to make.

I made the base of the bag topper with paper from the Targer $1 spot. They were pre-cut photo mats that I just folded in half. The tags are cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and more I then stamped them with Studio G stamps. I stamped "Happy Haunting in black then used Stickles. I stamped the "Trick or Treat with Studio G green metalic ink that I found at Joann's. The ghost, mummy, skeleton and furry monster were all cut from Paper Doll Dress Up, I inked them up some and added googlie eyes.

Sorry for the bad pics, I think my camera is possesed.

Thanks for stopping by!
