MUCH TO SHARE..................

Well I have been working on my little cutting designs for the last few days......boy it is fun....now I know Summer is just about over, BUT.....who said FLIP FLOPS have to be only for the summer time...I actually think some are quite comfortable....here is one of my recent cuts that I designed...a flip flop shaped card....TOTAL COMFORT....

Another design that I just completed is of a Christmas Stocking...oooooooooooo I love this stocking...I decided to cut out two of the stockings and sew them together on the sides and fill with yummies....I recently went to a Joann's fabric store that was closing and they had a bunch of home dec samples for 1.00 so I loaded up............BIG TIME...here is just one of the fabrics I bought....I love the pasily look of this fabric....I think I might just make some new HUGE stockings this year out of the other fabric I bought...after all with the Pazzles cutting up to 24 inches I can make some really big ones and stuff with all kinds of goodies..I will keep you all posted on that creation........Don't forget to stop on by over at my CUTTING DESIGNS blog and check out the other designers projects, I am so honored to have each of them designing for me..

And lastly but not least, here is my take on the new challenge going on over at the bbtb. The challenge was to use the NutCup from the Tags bags boxes and more cart...boy the designers over there did an awesome job..you can view their takes here...

A NEW DESIGN TEAM AND ALL THESE WITCHES.....

In my house...............Every year rather through my travels or around shops were I live, I purchase one new Halloween/Fall item for my home and for some reason, I have been buying witches the last few times....I don't know why because I am not by all means a witch lover, but these witches lately have been catching my attention...Recently my daughter and I went to purchase an additional Halloween/Fall item................and what did we BUY....................another witch....okay so next year....I am not even going to look at the WITCHES....here is my little collection so far:

I wanted to announce my very first Design Team over at REGINAS CUTTING DESIGNS...Awhile back I posted that I had decided to start creating my own cutting files that one can use with their cutter machine or if they didn't have a cutter machine, they could download a pdf file and print the designs out using their home printer............One great thing about my site is that it is all completely downloadable stuff...............and once you purchase, you can use over and over again....your order is sent to you through email within 24 hours...I am so excited to have 4 awesome, talented girls design a few projects for me....My new venture is nothing really big right now, but I hope to add many more designs in the future....Here are the talented ladies on the team: Teri Berios, Robyn Weatherspoon, Nikki Duey and DeeDee Campbell...........you can view their bio's here. I am super excited to have these 4 ladies designing for me...hugs.

O CHRISTMAS TREE..O CHRISTMAS TREE.......

Every since I made this card for the new challenge going on over at the bbtb, this song has been in my head...I think I am ready to start decorating for the Christmas season, but don't have any extra time right now....anyhoo, wowzer the design team over at the bbtb did an awesome awesome job on this challenge....go take a look here....This little card is available on my etsy shop here......

Also I wanted to share with you another item I just listed in my etsy shop....the new CARD CREATIONS 6 book.............yummy yummy, it has so many awesome ideals in it......I have one little card in their next to the ever to talented Bety...card called LITTLE ONE....I will be offering the card with a matching envelope and the book...the book retails for 14.99..................

I also wanted to share a little quote that was emailed to me today for Lara Mosby....I think I have read it a few times this morning and I think I am going to keep it dear and near to me..it is awesome words to live by:

. The version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta:
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
-this version is credited to Mother Teresa

FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD SET.............

Wow, it seems like it took me FOREVER to complete this set......I had so much fun creating these shaped Christmas cards.....This set contains 4 shaped cards with 4 matching envelopes..All of these cards and box were designed using my Pazzles......I used all sorts of goodies on these cards along with some beautiful Basic Grey papers...This set is available in my etsy store here......but if you would rather make the set yourself and have unlimited times to cut out several of these shaped cards and box, you can purchase the set from my cutting files blog here.

DON'T BE CAUGHT IN HIS WEB......

Just a fun layout of my youngest child..This was his costume last year.......I used one of my HALLOWEEN LACE files in the middle of the layout...you can find the file here.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN......and A SPECIAL BD GIRL..

Here is a little project for my Scrapnfonts design team...They have a new set of Halloween doodlebats coming out later this week..I used the Halloween little notes and the Haunted House for these projects...everything was cut out using my Pazzles...I made a long box and put black licorice in it...the box has a clear window on it.....You can find this clear long window box on my CUTTING Designs page here.

Today is also my girls 12th birthday, here are a few pictures of her with: mommy, middle brother Isiah and one with all of her siblings.....

What a BEAUTIFUL DAY.............& A few projects to share

I am up in Lake Tahoe for a few days and my oh my have you every stop to look around you at all the WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL things around you that the good Lord placed around us...........wow often when I am just at home, I will go into my backyard and just be in total amazement of the pretty flowers, their colors all so rich and different, put together just the way God wanted it........it really makes for a beautiful day and yesterday and today is no exception............Yesterday while my husband was in a meeting a few of us spouses, about 18 of us, went horseback riding up in the hills/mountains and oh my although my butt was killing me when I got off the horse, it was BREATH TAKING, STUNNING to name a few......but it was a rough ride...I have been blessed to ride a horse before around Pebble Beach and it was awesome, but this time around riding through the forest was a BIT different................

Here is a few photos of me....the one were I have a somewhat amazed face is because I had gum in my pocket and the darn horse kept picking at my pocket....and the last photo shows me getting off of the horse............tomorrow a few of us ladies are going to go have breakfast by the lake and then take a little walk and pick up pine cones....boy they have some awesome pine cones here....hopefully we won't get stuck in the snow or rain......yikesssssssss...

On another note, here are a few projects that I finished BEFORE I left for my trip....The first is my take on the this weeks challenge over at the bbtb..the challenge was to use the pear cut from the HOME ACCENTS cart....love it....you can check out the other ladies take here.....

WE ARE ALSO STARTING A NEW CONTEST OVER AT THE BBTB....CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS.

Next is a little tutorial I did using my Pazzles....I think this adorable reindeer would be a perfect Christmas tree ornament...You can view the tutorial here......that's all for now...
