Playing catch up ...

Hi!  So yesterday instead of staying home and doing my usual Sunday chores like laundry, I went out for lunch with my hubby while our kiddies were in Sunday school.  Those couple of hours were fun cause I got to eat yummy and spicy ramen.  Though it wasn't that spicy but they call it spicy.  Anyway, now I feel like I have ton of stuff to do today including laundry!  Not to mention there was a ton of traffic coming home this morning after dropping my kids off because of an accident, AGAIN.  I spent some time at our local drug store trying to wait out the traffic and bought Halloween candy to give away and probably eat too.  So much yummy candy!

Well, I have a Make it Monday post up over at All That Scraps blog.  Please check it out.  I don't think I'll be posting it here.  Well, here's a peek. 

This is my simple version of the cups I made in a previous post.  I thought these might be cute to give to my kiddies' classmates.  Well, minus the banners at the top.  Just the cup with the pumpkin face.  Simple enough to make about 50 or so?  Oh, even better, I'll make my kiddies glue the face on! 

And I just now am having some time to post the card I made using Melissa's sketch from TGF's SCS forum last week.  Better late than never!

I kind of turned the sketch.  This is another Miss Anya from the Scarves set.  I loved coloring these girls up in their winter clothes.  The sentiment is from TGF's new Sparkling Season set.

A little close up.

All right, I gotta get ready to head out again.  And I still didn't finish the laundry!  Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up with everything when I get back.

Thanks for reading!

TGFSC31 -- my first sketch

Hi!  So this is the one part of being on TGF's Showcase DT I was afraid of -- making a sketch!  Never done one before!  But it was pretty painless though I had a hard time following my own sketch!  Ha!  Next time I'm keeping it simple.  Anyway, my sketch is up on TGF's forum over on SCS.  Please go check it out and play along!

This is my card featuring one of the lovely girls from Miss Anya Scarves set.  I actually love how this card turned out.  I'm almost reluctant to give this one away.  Maybe gotta pry it out of my hands.  Lots of layers!  The round sentiment is from TGF's Clear Christmas set.

The snowflakes are also from the Clear Christmas set and were heat embossed.  Added some stickles to the snowflakes too.

Here's my sketch!

All the rules and details are HERE.  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks for reading!

always live life ...

Hi!  Today is Saturday and time for The Greeting Farm's sketch over at SCS. 

Okay, I didn't copy the sketch exactly but that's the great thing about sketches.  You can make it your own!  I used Shiny Bean.  I stamped and cut her out and also cut out the sentiment that comes with her.  I added lots of bling!

I made this little cut out frame using oval nestabilities and my Perfect Layers ruler.  And I love these beans with pink hair! 

Today, I'm gonna wait for the mail to see if my new TGF Big Anyas arrive.  Though maybe it's too early still.  I'm so anxious to get them.  Oh, but I did get super fun happy mail yesterday!!  A very sweet, sweet crafty friend sent us the cutest little penguin ever!  Would you like a peek?  Go see Handmade Cuties post HERE!  Go, I'll wait ....  Awesome and wonderful, right?  My daughter loves penguins, especially this little guy!  Thank you so much!

Alrighty, thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
