Thank You cards and Halloween

I am really hooked on the pink and teal right now! It's crazy! My husband and I coached our 5 yr old's soccer team this year. We received a very nice surprise from one of the players and another player's mother works at a local bakery so she supplied delicious cupcakes for everyone. I thought it was appropriate to send a thank you card to them.
This is for a little girl...I thought she would love the bird.
And this is for our very talented baking mom!

Want a laugh...

Last evening we took the children to the elementary school for safe trick or treating. Our three year old wanted to be a puppy this year, so we had a costume from a previous year that she could use. However, it was a little snug for her. It is a one piece outfit so it kind of crept up for her. As we were putting it on Alexis told me "It's splitting my butt!" HAHA!

That is classic! I'm sure you'll see a layout in the future with that title!

Have a Happy Halloween!

Halloween treats

We had a family project to create Halloween treats for the girls to hand out in school. We had a great time and it was a prefect opportunity to spend time together.
Look at this mischievous face on Alexis...

Close up of our finished work...

Since Mikayla loves to craft with mommy, she added Halloween tags on hers.

A fun layout and a card

So I actually played hookie yesterday for the first time in a whole lot of months! I just needed a day at home to catch up on some things. I used a lot of my time to craft. It was wonderful! I don't think I'll be waiting several months to do that again!

This card was inspired by the challenge of using stitching on the card. I wanted to create a french knot with ribbon. And so I decided to create apples on a tree. I love how this turned out! My hubby even thought it was extra good!
This was a recipe challenge posted on the Scraptacular boards by Rachael. I am really hooked on the pink and teal together right now! I thought it turned out very "sweet".

Color Challenge

Here is the most recent color challenge...
At first when I seen these colors I did not know what theme I was going to go with. But as soon as I sat down to craft it came to me. CHRISTMAS! I was so into the color combo that I created two different cards.
Here is number 1....

And number 2....

A little ruffle anyone?

I am so happy with the look of this ruffle flower! I think this bright green and pink gift bag will light of the face of a birthday girl in the near future!
The challenge was posted at Moxie Fab World to create a project with some kind of ruffle.
Thanks for the challenge!

Caardvarks...a TALL order

Another challenge sponsored at ....
This called for a TALL card. Being the fall season, I designed around this cute turkey!

Now, I just have to figure out who the lucky recipient will be for this cute Thanksgiving card.

Sketchy Thursday Challenge

Even though it was another busy weekend, I was able to get a few projects finished up late at night. Here was the most recent sketch challenge....
And my layout....

I really wanted to have a picture for the squares and I thought the snowman and tree worked great. I really like the teal and pink again for this layout! Thanks for the challenge, Sketchy Thursdays!
