My Dad's Birthday Card

My dad's birthday is tomorrow. He not only will be celebrating it but also Veteran's Day. He served in the Army in Korea. This past weekend my family and my sister and her family were able to be with him to celebrate early. This is the card that I made for him. He and my mom absolutely loved it. They keep everything I make for them and have them displayed somewhere in their house. I also made his birthday cake for him, too. He wanted a chocolate cake and I made sure that he got just that-a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. He was thrilled that he got just what he wanted. Happy Birthday, Dad and Happy Veteran's Day to you and to all those who have served for us!

It's a winner

Candy Corn is a winner for me. I love it! The creamy fondant,the soft chewiness, the taste...yum. When the Fiskateer board had a crop this past weekend and the challenge was to make a layout of your favorite sweet treat I first thought of my utmost favorite...Reeses but couldn't get any ideas of how I wanted that delicious chocolate and peanut butter sweet to be showcased. Then, I thought of my other all time favorite...candy corn and the ideas started flying. I had patterned paper with it on. I had a cricut cart that contained it. I had a shirt that I was wearing at the time that had to go on that layout and of course the candy itself was in our house. That layout was done in no time and by the end of the challenge that oh so special candy had won me a prize. Another sweet treat for me-some new scrapping things to play with when they arrive. It doesn't get any better than that!

Boo!

This was a card just for fun. My husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary on Oct. 12th and he gave me Paper Dolls Dress Up for my anniversary gift. I was thrilled because I really wanted it. I just had to have some fun with it and since Halloween is coming up I made this card. Scary isn't it? I am just amazed at all that is on this cart. The MS Drippy Goo punch was a gift from my son, too. I was wanting that and so happy to receive it, too. I'm a little behind on posting these past couple of weeks, but have lots to share. It had gotten busy for us for a while but is now quieting down and this past week we've been on vacation so I have a lot to make from that. I've got some great pictures coming to share. Keep coming by and seeing what's new.

I finally did it!

I had this orange shirt hanging here not knowing what I was going to use it for. I have also wanted to use my cricut to cut material, but was unsure about doing it with my fairly new machine. Ok, so my cricut is now a year old and I decided it was time. I ironed Heat and Bond onto the material and put it in my cricut and cut it all out and ironed it on to the shirt. It sounds simple enough but it actually took me 3 hours to do. It really shouldn't have taken that long but I made a few mistakes. Lol It was a really fun project and I can't wait to do another one. Maybe one for Christmas this time.
