Wreaths made with paper

Its Tuesday again and Tuesday happens to be one of my favorite days of the week.  Well it is as long as Glee is on!!!!

I saw Shanon's version of this wreath on her blog The Gibson Girls and knew I had to try it.  I ended up making two because I couldn't decide on which paper line I wanted to use.  I'm definitely making more of these for Christmas gifts this year (if I don't  keep them all for myself.)

The first wreath I used Echo Park's Halloween Paper.

The second wreath uses the gorgeous toil and trouble line from the girls' paperie.

Since I posted something about my oldest yeasterday I thought I'd share a photo of Clara at the Boonshoft Museum.  They have a wonderful exhibit that has facts about sea life.  Clara and her friend, Trey, thought being a sea turtle was fun!

I'm a bad blogger :(

I'm sorry that I've been such a bad blogger and blog follower.  I've been hard working on stuff in the evening just haven't really been on the computer much.  I hope that you are all having a wonderful fall so far. 

This is a wonderful Halloween wreath made with burlap from Craftaholics Anonymous.  Instead of using wooden letters I cut mine twice with my Expression using the Alphalicious cartridge on chipboard. I used some random papers I had in my Halloween drawer and then covered them with Glossy Accent to make them shiny.  I love how it turned out and ended up making several of them since I had the burlap.  It only took me about an hour to tie all the burlap and add the letters.  However I spent two days cutting the burlap into strips.  I probably won't ever make one again.

I just wanted to share that my Rhalynn got her ears pierced yesterday.  She's been wanting them done for awhile but I was holding off.  She was a champ, not even a whimper.  She's just growing up so fast.  Its hard to see the earing in her ear since they are so tiny but she is so proud of them.

Happy Glee Day!!

Thats right!!  Tonight Glee once again will be gracing us with its fantastic songs and its fun storylines!  I can't wait!!

I just have a quick post of you today.  I've been hard at work on some things but my time is short so I'm squeezing projects in when I can.  I hope to start posting more often soon.  Here are three cards that I made in kits for a couple of my friends.  The SAHM's in my little neighborhood had a wonderful brunch and I helped them put these cards together after the wonderful food.

Have a Gleeful Tuesday!!

Birthday Sailor

I haven't really been a blogging mood, lots of things going on and no time to sit down and just do it.  Which mean I have several thing to show you next week.  I wanted to show you this birthday card I did now that I'm sure my friend Jodi has recieved it.  I have to tell you that I was very pleased with her hair, I think it turned out pretty fantastic.  I'm a little upset that I didn't write down the colors I used on her skin since I think that turned out pretty well too.  I'll have to experiment a little I guess. 

Have a fantastic day!!
