Snow Days!

Yeah! it snowed last night! I absolutely looove the snow! Here are some pics from my backyard! All the dogs and even mom's cat went out with me to play!

SU Simply scrapin kits

I love all the stuff you can do with the simply scrapin kits from SU! here are 3 cards that I just whiped up last weekend, my sister-in-law made the same 3 cards plus 2 more! and I also used paper from this kit for my 25 days countdown.

25 days of Christmas

This is my 25 days till Christmas countdown calender. The paper, ribbon and rub ons are stampin' up, the pointsettas and stars are from my Secret Sis on scs! I am in a 24 days of Christmas swap, where you spend $30 on one person and get them 24 presents for them to open! It is alot of fun!

Something old, Something new, Something borrowed and Something blue Class!

I think this class was by Ck and this was my 3rd class. It was a great class the only thing I have a problem with is the kits are only for one side of the lo. I need 2 matching sides to my spreads, I am really really serious about that. I have tried to just let it go but can't! So now to figure out how to work the other sides. hmmm

Flip Flop Class!

WOW, what a fun class this was my 2nd class at CK Convention, I was not to excited to take this class, but it turned out sooo cute that I love it. It is also a Quick Quotes class. Their classes are so organized and they give everyone a prize! If you wear one of their shirts you get another prize. Yeah Quick Quotes! All i need to do is fill it with pictures and I am done.

Canvas a la cart Class!

This was a class by Quick Quotes that I took at the Creeting Keepsakes Convention in early November. I have decided how to put them togeather I am going to attatch hinges to them and make them a tri-fold table decoration. I need to scan in some of my dad and mom vintage pics of relatives to add to all the tags, to make it more interesting, but that wont be done until christmas break! I have always wanted to work with scrapbooking and canvas so this was alot of fun.

Canvas A La Cart Class!

Black Friday sales!

Wow did we shop til we droped. The morning started at 4am with standing out in the cold at Old Navy (for the free MP3 player that they load with their music). They only give out so many wristbands and we missed it by at least 12 crazier people than us, but we shopped anyway. Then off to the mall to Jc Pennys, Macys, Nordstrom, and every other store with the word SALE! The rule for the day was only sale items could be bought, I am quite proud to say that was all we purchesd. By Noon we were starving and went for a great lunch at Penara Bread, Yummy. Then moe shopping.......Target....Kohls......Fred Meyer.... Than at around 6pm it was time for the discount mall that we skipped ( we decided to sleep instead of going there first) so after going through all the stores there it was 11:30pm. Yep I agree that is way out of control. Next year we are going to start at the outlet mall, in there contract they have to have an early special of 30% off of everything. So the stores that had 40% already had to have an additional 30% on top of that so wow what a great savings...... Can't wait for next year!

In total I think we hit over 100 stores in 1 day.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I am going to my cousins house to celebrate the holiday with family.
Then my mom, cousin and I are starting Black Friday (Friday after thanksgiving is called "Black Friday" by retailers because of the masses of people) at midnight! YES we are totally nuts. (OK, I will admit I absolutely love the hussel and bussel of holiday shopping!) Our outlet mall opens at midnight with wonderful discounts then its off for a 2 or 3 hour nap, next we hit the mall at 4am (after getting a 24oz white chocolate and peppermint mocha) then by 8am we will have breakfast at Penera Bread Yummy, shopping will continue until the stores close. Yep I love the day after thanksgiving sales!

Cracked Glass

Yeah! I am glad I finally tried this technique, it was alot easier than I ahd thought.

Directions:
Stamp your image
Next versamark the area you want cracked
Then sprinkle clear embossing powder(or use glassy glaze for deeper cracks) over versamarked area and use your heat tool on it.
Do this step (versamark/ embossing powder/ heat tool) 3-4 times
Last put in Freezer for 5-10 minutes.
It really is as easy as that.

This is Kyle's Thanksgiving Tree, that he made at the daycare that I work at! The leaves have what he is thankful for on each one. Kyle is my boss's son. Hi Kyle!

Cutting Board!

I really like the cutting boards that I have seen so I re-created one for a christmas gift. Behind the coarkboard is a hole where you can hang it from. I was too lazy to cut the hole out so I just covered it up.

Back of mini envelope album

This is what the back of the mini envelope album looks like.

Halloween mini album

This is a mini envelope album I have been wanting to make for a long time and I am really happy about how it turned out! The Envelopes are 4 1/4" x 41/4".

The first photo is the front which is Velcrod together for the closer, the pumpkin is a sizzix die cut with red/green chalk for highlights, a pen was used for the face the dangling spider is a rub on.

The second photo is of the inside when you open it up.

The third photo is of of the right pull out. The tab is crimped and the saying at the bottom "sweet treats" is a rub on.

The fourth photo is of the left pull out. The tab is crimped and the punkin face is a rub on!
