Hello everyone...today I want to share a Halloween gift box set with ya....I used several background images from the cutting cafe on this project..you can click here for all the sets I used....After the pictures see a little video on making this set...have a great day.

HOCUS POCUS.................

I have to say that HALLOWEEN is one of my favorite times to make cards and such....I think it has something to do with the colors...ORANGE, LIME GREENS, PURPLES, BLACK...whats not to like about those colors....ANYHOO......these two cards use the new HALLOWEEN WORD BLOCK from the CUTTING CAFE....I teamed them up with some cute MY MINDS EYE ....BLACKBIRD paper...that pack of paper is so fun...I also used the HALLOWEEN THIS AND THAT for the Hocus Pocus and star on the witch card...Well have a great Tuesday...hugs

BINGO VIDEO.......................

Hello everyone....here is the HALLOWEEN VIDEO I promised....there are two parts to the video....ENJOY................................

HALLOWEEN BINGO...................

Hello everyone...........today I want to share a project that I have been working on ALL DAY....wooohooo so glad to be done...this project features two new sets over at The Cutting Cafe...HALLOWEEN BINGO and a larger size 8 BY 5.5 INCH BOX WITH DIVIDERS...
The new box with dividers fits the HALLOWEEN BINGO CARD set just perfectly...I plan on giving this to my sons teacher for their little Halloween party next month....the set comes with 8 colored different bingo cards and all the words to fit each and every section of each of the cards...woooooooooooooooo...lots of them I tell ya...I made the little colored chips out of different colors of the whole paper set...the papers are by Doodlebug..love it...Be sure to check out the new set and for a limited time when you purchase the HALLOWEEN BINGO SET you get the box for free..up until Sunday night (26th of September 2010)
I do have a little video to show ya...but I won't have it up for at least another day...YOUTUBE IS SO SLOW...have a great night..

COLOR ME SOMETHING SPOOKY.......................

I think I have found the perfect gift to give a few trick or treaters this Halloween....I am the hostess this week for the bbtb2 and I asked the lovely team to use the CRAYON BOX from the TAGS BAGS BOXES AND MORE cricut cartridge....this little box can be used for so many cute little gifts..I decided to make mine into a Halloween crayon box....I used the new Cutting Cafe--- ASSORTED HALLOWEEN CIRCLE WORDS for the Happy Halloween tag and then I used the TINY SOLID DOT for wrapping the crayons.................fun quick set.

Be sure to check out the other girls projects....SUPER DUPER CUTE...hugs

PINK AND YELLOW HALLOWEEN.....DESIGN TEAM CALL

GOOD GRIEF...I don't know why I am on this PINK AND YELLOW combination lately....oh well I promise to get off of this combination REAL SOON....Just popping in for a quickie tonight...this FRIENDLY haunted house comes from a fun set over at The Cutting Cafe called: HALLOWEEN TIME....I totally love this set....you gotta see it...loaded with fun Halloween stuff....and there are many more sets to come..SOON...I added some yellow and red glitter to the card to give it a bit of bling look...I guess I could have totally made this a SPOOKY house, but then I wouldn't have been able to use PINK AND YELLOW..(smile)...the scallops on the edges are from the ASSORTED SCALLOP SET...
Here is a little video on making this card.


Don't forget to check out the new design team call over at The Cutting Cafe...more details on that here.....good night...

THIS BUS IS FOR BOYS ONLY...................................

Isn't this is funky bus......This bus template is a new template over at the Cutting Cafe....Of course it orignally started out as being a YELLOW SCHOOL BUS, but then I thought it would be fun in funky colors....you can check out the set here....
Up next is a new bible quote on a frame....called COLOSSIANS 3: 12-14
I think this is the perfect verse for a family or friend that is having a hard time forgiving someone....
Well have a great night...hugs

AWWWW.........FALL......IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

And I am so ready for it...I am a Fall kind of girl....Today I want to share with you a set of cards that I made just for myself to give to others of course...I used two new awesome sets from The Cutting Cafe....COLORED LEAVES SET and WELCOME FALL.....I am sure both will be a favorite of mine for a long time....I wanted these cards to be super quick and easy....SEE VIDEO BELOW....Here's a few things I did in making these cards.......basically I just printed out 4 different leave backgrounds...there are 6 different colored leaves in the set....I found some paper to match each of the colored background sheets and then just folded some Kraft card bases at about 4.5 by 4 inches...using the ENVELOPE templates I made some matching Kraft envelopes.I did also cut out a leaf out of each color and embossed it then pop them up on each card...adding a little ribbon....The sentiments come from the WELCOME FALL set...this set is fully of FALL/AUTUMN stuff.....I am going to set these on my desk and send out one card weekly....

hugs

THANKS FOR STICKING YOUR NECK OUT FOR ME................

When Melissa from the BBTB2 had issued this week challenge to use the FLAMINGO from the LIFE'S A BEACH cricut cartridge...I knew right away what sentiment I wanted to put on my card and I knew I wanted it to be a circular card with scallops....I tied the FLAMINGO with a new set of SCALLOP CIRCLE shape cards from THE CUTTING CAFE as well as I used the HUGE THANK YOU WORD CIRCLE.....There was one catch to the challenge though...the FLAMINGO couldn't be all pink....so I thought this plaid Making Memories paper was perfect...
Be sure to check out what the other ladies did....I tell ya those ladies rock....they are so FABULOUS....hugs

THANKS FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES....

Hello all my wonderful, fabulous friends...I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you that have sent me BIRTHDAY WISHES and GOODIES....I had a wonderful day and am so blessed to have a wonderful family and equally wonderful friends...blessings to you all...hugs.........................
