GOBBLE..............

Hello friends.........I could have sworn Fall had arrived, but it is about 90 degrees here today....UGH UGH...anyhoo..........

I got a new card to share with you all today. This little cutie is a new TURKEY SHAPED CARD from the Cutting Cafe.

There also are some new THANKSGIVING DAY GREETINGS..........Well have a great day....hugs

MY GIRL IS TURNING 16

Wow time sure has flown by........my daughter is 16 today. I am so blessed to have such a caring, beautiful girl. We are so proud of her....
This is just the little card that was made for her bd.......she loves the color pink and purple....
I used the 16 SHAPED CARD FROM THE CUTTING CAFE.

And she is having a little get together so I made a few goodie bags.....I know I know I know I always tend to use paper bags, but I love the kraft look of them and they are perfect for decorating quickly.

T-SHIRTS....................

Hello all...........happy Tuesday to you all.....popping in with a few new cards using the new T-SHIRT shaped card set..........There are 3  new files over at the Cutting Cafe...

MISSING IN ACTION BUT OH SO.................

BUSY.......Yes I have been away from quite some time now, but I have been busy busy busy...with  the Cafe and just plain o life.......

A few things that have been going on, first I got MY VERY OWN SCRAP ROOM..........I am totally juiced...oh my gosh...THANK YOU JESUS...I was in the garage for 10 years..........SHARING THE SPACE with all of the little creatures that live around us...ugh ugh...PLUS COLD WINTERS and HOT SUMMERS....but I was still grateful to have the space, but now I am so out of my mind with my new space......here are a few pictures...........Still much to do though....need curtains, window seat, yellow chair, organzation etc.......YOU CAN FOLLOW AND SEE MORE PICTURES HERE

On a sadder note, I got the room because my oldest moved out......it has been quite a scary month, last month....he got into a car accident coming home from Reno, Nevada. He flipped his car a few times......RIGHT BY THE CLIFF.........By the Grace of God he walked away completely unhurt...oh my the Good Lord was watching over him.....Car got totaled though...

So I have been busy with designing my new room and working on lots of Cafe files.........Since I had made so many projects and want to get all caught up,  I am just going to post my latest projects with  the sets used.........Will be back later with more new projects........

CHEVRON'S ARE HOT.......................

AND I LOVE THEM.................
Hello friends, I have two cards to share with you all today...they both featured the new CHEVRON sets from the Cutting Cafe.

First up I decided to play along over at THE PAPER PLAYERS CHALLENGE #107. Their theme is back to school........which is next week for my kiddos.

 I used the new CHEVRON SCHOOL PRINTABLES for the apple card...it seems as though I always  need to write a note or two to my kids teachers...so now I have at least one card done to place a little note in.  I also used the APPLE SHAPED CARD AND THE SCHOOL MINI WORDS.

Up next I decided to play along with HERE COMES THE BOYS #33.........Funny that I have 3 boys but rarely make boy cards.......UGH UGH....there challenges are strictly for boys, guys....This time I used the CHEVRON CUTTING FILE...I love this template because it also comes with a template that will fit over a quarter fold card....

I also used the following sets on this card: ALL ABOUT BOYS AND FLAG SENTIMENT SET.
Don't forget to play along over on the challenge sites....they are so addicting...

NEW CRACKER TREAT BOXES

Hello friends...its been a minute since I have played along with some fun challenges...........SO, today I decided to play along with the challenge over at MADE ESPECIALLY FOR YOU....The Cutting Cafe is sponsoring their site this week......so be sure to play along...it is a fabulous color challenge.
The Cutting Cafe just released a new CRACKER - TREAT BOX.....so I decided to make 3 boxes showing you all the different sizes the set comes with.
First one I did a HALLOWEEN THEME......today over at the Cafe we are featuring backgrounds with boxes....So I used the BOO BACKGROUND and the HALLOWEEN MINI WORDS...

 Next is the middle size with scallops.........I used the FUN WITH OWLS on this one

 And finally the smaller one.............this is the one for the challenge over at MADE ESPECIALLY FOR YOU..........check out the colors underneath...I added a few almonds in this one...will stick in hubby's lunch....the sentiment is from the TINY BOX WITH SENTIMENTS

AND here are all of the boxes

COPIC BOX GIFT SET

Hello everyone, well I recently purchased a few more Copic Pens and never really paid attention to the fact that the box they came in (box of 3) was actually a holder for the Sketch Pens.....UGH UGH UGH.....So I decided that giving some of my crafty friends a few pens in pretty boxes would be fun...
So of course since I am so addicted to weekly challenges I decided to play along over at THE PLAY DATE CAFE #142........i love the colors this week.........(see them below)
Here is my little COPIC GIFT SET using the new COPIC BOX and HAPPY BIRTHDAY WORD SHAPED CARD

 I love love love how this box turned out....one of the templates in the set has a Copic Box with a front window. The create circle is from the CREATE SET

 There are 4 different boxes in all. One that even has a middle section to tear the top box off to display the pens.

So check out  these YUMMY colors this week from THE PLAY DATE CAFE.....love them...If you get a chance make sure you come on by and play along.

I am also linking my project up to the site 52 CARD PICKUP week 30. This sit features doing a project - card a week to end up with a bundle by the end of the year...........awesome idea....You will always have cards ready for any occasion....Come on by and check out the other awesome stuff other did.

A LIFE FILLED WITH CUPCAKES

IS A GOOD LIFE..............yes indeed it is.....Mrs. Jessica Esch invited me to play along over at CAMEO CREATIONS where the challenge is cupcakes....I love cupcakes so I thought I would play along.....I decided to also link my cupcake up with the color challenge from JUST US GIRLS #146 

hehehe, I know the colors are a bit DIFFERENT....but I think fun...great for maybe a guy.....what do you think.....I used the CUPCAKE SHAPED CARD from the Cutting Cafe along with the ALL ABOUT CUPCAKES for the circle word.....that brown bow under the yellow one was made from the BOW TIE - RIBBON TEMPLATE.....I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT TEMPLATE.

Please be sure and play along.......I TELL YA CHALLENGES ARE VERY ADDICTIVE.
