Happy Thanksgiving a little early..


From my Little Turkey to yours..

There is quite a stomach bug going on. Isabel got sick and then, of course, I caught it..Hopefully, Steven won't get it for the holiday..Luckily, Dad's always seem to escape these things..

I finished my Halloween layouts and thought I would share a couple of my favorites and which products I liked using the best this year.

Loved these K&Co. glittery Die-cuts---Great value for the $$.
Digging the My Mind's Eye Halloween papers this year with those Crafty Secrets vintage drawings.
Love that Martha Stewart "Fence" punch (at the bottom)
Can't get enough of those holiday-themed Prima crystals and studs!

Lastly, I thought I would share two more Studio Calico November Kit layouts:


Love the blue/brown color combo.

ishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving with their friends and families!!

So many projects..So little time...

It is so hard to believe that Thanksgiving is in exactly one week, although, with all this chilly weather..it seems like Christmas. I must get my head together about everything I need to get ready for the big Turkey day. My computer got a bad virus so everything needed to be reloaded which is why it has taken me so long to post. Sorry!!

I had to get some more supplies yesterday at Michael's to work on my holiday cards. I will resume working on them once I finish all of my Halloween layouts that I am working on this week.

Since my last post, I completed some layouts from the Studio Calico Nov. Kit.
Here are a few:


I also have been working on my Nov. Bad Girls kit which is full of lots of browns and muted colors. I love this type of "Shabby Vintage" style with Black and White and Sepia photos which is what I used on most of my layouts with this kit.


I haven't been doing much scrappy shopping since I am saving for my LSS's "Black Friday Clearance Sale".
I know that they also got some new products that I want, so I am "trying" to be good until then...
That's all for now..Talk Soon!

Sorry, Mr Blog..

I really haven't been intentionally ignoring you, but my computer has been on the fritz, so I have had very limited internet access. I'm sorry..
I picked up some of the new BG Urban Prairie the other day and made this layout:

I think that these colors are so pretty, but when I look at them, I think Spring..So..I may pick up a couple more papers just to hold on to for the Springtime. This time of year, I am much more into the browns and oranges of Fall like in this layout:

I finally used this piece of Sassafras paper that I had been holding onto for a while..I really live the combo of Black/White/& Yellow.
Lastly, I got my AMM November kit the other day and made a few layouts:
Love this combo of the reds and turquoise, but I have to say, I struggle with that My Mind's Eye glitter paper. It is so pretty, but I have a hard time getting things to adhere to it.
That's it for now..I am currently working on my Holiday cards which I will share soon. Have a wonderful weekend!
