Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Halloween. Unfortunently I have to work, but I will be dressed as a butterfly passing out candy to kids at work so I should have some fun. I have been working on a ton of new craft projects.....new layouts, christmas cards, chipboard owls, polymer clay, and tag snowmen just to name a few. I still haven't taken pics of all of them but I'm working on it. 

Here's a picture of a chipboard owl I made. Chipboard is from Maya Road and the paper is from Pink Paislee's Vintage Moon Collection.

I got a ton of emails about Martha??? How was it?? Is she nice??? What did she say?? All I can say is she lived up to every expectation that I had. Complete perfection and class. She was incredibly nice, greeted me with a huge hello. I gave her a snowman that I made, she thanked me, and said it was cute, then put it next to her cell phone. I told her that I can't cook a thing and I hope this book helps. She said, "oh it will be perfect for you." Here is a pic of me (actually the back of me) meeting Martha. I have so say she looks pretty happy to see me don't you think? lol.

There are no words............

All I can say is she is just as wonderful in person as she is on TV. Incredibly nice, beautiful and perfect! Love ya Martha!!!

Martha, Martha, Martha

In about 12 hours I am leaving to go meet Martha Stewart!!! Yes I said that right MARTHA STEWART. She is having a book signing at a local book store so I'm going to go and check it out and say "hello" to the queen of all things crafty. Check back later tomorrow for updates and hopefully some pictures if all goes well.

I have also been working on a TON of new stuff I just have to take some pictures of it. So check back soon and have a great day.

Pink Sketch #11

Crafty Weekend

Yesterday I had a pretty busy day. In the morning I went to a craft show, The Scrapbook Zone (A LSS), Joann's and Archivers. I got a ton of great stuff. And also a ton of great ideas. So I got home and started creating!!!!

#1 And Owl Blanket for Ella (Fleece 3.99 yrd at Joanns) I think she likes it.     

 

                               

#2 Started to get ready for the craft show!!!!

#3 Finished up the skirt on my dress form. Just have to embellish now.

T.G.I.F.

The week is finally coming to an end. Whew. And I actually have the ENTIRE weekend off of work. I am so excited. Hopefully I can get some scrapping done and need to start making things for my craft show in December. I have some great ideas for some clay trees, and a ton of other cute Christmas stuff I just have to take the time to sit down and try to make some stuff.

Have you all signed up for Jessica Sprague's free class?? I did. I just have to get my supplies for the class. It is only a few things. I'm excited to see what we will create. I am always up for a challenge and some great inspiration.

Have you seen these adorable owl stamps by Kelly Panacci??? Oh my gosh could they be any more adorable? I think these would be great for making cards or on an adorable layout. I don't know what my obsession is with owls. But it seems like I want everyone that I lay my eyes on. You can get them over at Two Peas.

Have a wonderful Friday. Hopefully I will have some updates over the weekend with some new creations!

Scrapbooks Etc. Magazine

My scrappy friend Donna was nice enough to send me an email telling me that my must have/must want line Good Cheer by October Afternoon is featured on the cover of Scrapbooks Etc. magazine this month. I must get my hands on this magazine and this paper!!! lol. 

Christmas Scrapbooking Must Haves

Christmas is literally around the corner. I know it's hard to believe! This is my first Christmas as a scrapbooker and I am literally dying looking at these amazing Christmas lines that are coming out. I can not wait to get all of them!

I just heard that my LSS got the new Basic Grey Wassail line in. This line is not your typical red and green Christmas tree and presents line. It has a more of a vintage theme to it, and I am absolutely in love with it. You can get it at Two Peas.

Another amazing line is by October Afternoon. They are probably my favorite manufacturer. All of their stuff is amazing! I think I may just freak out when I get my hands on their Good Cheer Line! It is my absolute favorite line of this season. I'm a sucker for pink and teal. And this line has it all. Another kind of vintage theme this line is darling. You can check out October Afternoons entire catalog here. If anyone knows when and where I can get my hands on this please let me know!!!

I also went scrapbooking the other day and got 2 layouts done. One is for Pink Sketches next week and the other I will post later in the week. I just have to take the time and take some pictures of both of them.

Have a great day! Hope you enjoyed my ramblings! What are your Christmas scrapbook must haves?

Pink Sketch #10

Another new sketch over at Pink Sketches. I really took a very simple approach to this one and had a lot of fun! It's also our first week with a guest designer!

I have not had much time to blog or scrap in the past few days because my work schedule got all crazy, but things are back to normal now I am heading to scrap at my LSS tomorrow! I hope to get a lot done. I need to take the time to go through my stash tonight and get organized. I always get there and have no idea what I am going to do and then end up buying a ton of stuff I really don't need. So I am going to try and get my ideas together tonight. 

Also don't forget tonight at midnight EST is the start for registration for Jessica Sprague's Stories In Hand Class. Don't miss out it's FREE!!!

I took inspiration from Ali Edwards Document a Day in Your Life Series and made this with Photoshop. If you haven't checked out Ali's blog yet make sure you check out the series, it is amazing!

I am off to go to work for the day. If you haven't been over to Pink Sketches make sure you check it out. A great new sketch and the guest designer winners have been announced. Here is my layout for Sketch #9

I also took the time the other day to start decorating the dress forms I got at a local scrapbook store a few months ago. I am using acrylic medium and 2 inch paper strips. I am loving how it is coming out so far. I just can't decide how I want to do the skirt yet. Don't mind my messy desk.
