Halloween

oh boy the year is flying by..it is almost time!? I made these for a swap. Based on a paint pattern by (I'll add the artist tomorrow) that I turned into a paper piecing and I added the leaf charm. Hope they like them!!

Heaven shall Behold

beauty..another artist trading card! The base is Scenic Route paper (LOVE it..it was a "scrap" piece that Hayley wrapped the last card she sent my way in so I had to do something with it!) I put diamond glaze over heaven and Behold that was on the paper and wrote beauty. The butterfly is a Cuttlebug cut and emboss...my very first one and I LOVE it!!! I put black ink on the raised part of the embossing folder before I ran it through the cuttlebug machine, then I dangled a charm off of it. Added a few buttons to my flower and I am happy with the end results!

And movie night was a blast!! Lots of fun and laughs!! We started watching The Bucket List until the disk came up with an error so we watched August Rush..it was good! In case you don't know I have 5 sisters..one had to work and another didn't come (no surprise there) but it was nice.

Live Love Laugh

I am waiting on my sister to come pick me up for movie night!!! I am so excited and can not wait. My mom and all six of her girls should be there!! I have no idea what they rented..just looking forward to being with them all. So I thought I'd update my blog while I wait....
Live Love Laugh and life will be what it should be!!! I love scrapping red and black! I made this one to trade. It is so much fun! My butterfly charm came from A Charming Place

Tennis!

This was the first match of the season and they won (the boy in black is mine)!! Here his tennis racket is doing double duty as a table while he snacks on nuggets from Sonic.
I am so happy they won!!!

IKE

was still pretty strong as he blew through AR. No power, no school, and a little bit of damage. I was also bummed he made me miss a PJ party. I feel so sad for those who are now without homes.
Here is the tree he took down:

We are very lucky it did not hit the clubhouse!!
Clean up:


The damage:
we lost our birdbath, a lantern, pots, and the picnic table..it wasn't in the best of shape but I liked it just the same.


what the birdbath use to look like:

On the Wings of Love

you will fly, (I wrote that with a gel pen)
forever for always and endlessly;forever now. (is a sticker) I believe it is true!! Love is the best thing in the world! I made this ATC to trade but now I am thinking of tucking it away for myself. I used wings from ACP and the black butterflies are BasicGrey rubons.

BOO

My new addiction..ATCs!!! I am in 3 different swaps right now. This is for a 'spooky" one at Coconut Scrapbooking. I cut the moon out of the yellow pages! It was fun!
