Halloween

We had so much fun Halloween night handing out candy goodie bags to the neighborhood kids, trick or treating and hanging out with friends and family. Dan's parents, his brother (Dave) and his girlfriend (Amanda) and then the Haynes family were all able to come over this year for Halloween night. Tracy, Tracey, Mallory, Julia and me went trick or treating after dinner. Mallory looked so cute in her costume as Sharpay from the High School Musical (can't you tell she LOVES to have her picture taken?). Julia was adorable (as always) in her Alice in Wonderland costume and loves her daddy oh so much! I was so happy that they both got to come over and trick or treat - it was a close call for Mallory since she is so sick. Please keep her and her family in your prayers as they work to get her out of the hospital from being dehydrated so bad. She is such a wonderful little girl and has quite a bit of stress going on in her life right now. One day, if all things go well, she will have all things that she deserves.

Anyhoo, after about 45 minutes of trick or treating, the neighbors were calling it a night and the girls were cold. When we got back to the house, they both were pooped and fell asleep rather quickly. This gave me and Tracey a bit of time to gab as gals and kind of get caught up on each others lives LOL. Tracey has learned how to knit and I'm jealous! She is making some of the most beautful scarves, the most recent being one for Ms. Mallory. I can't wait to learn how to do this and look forward to seeing what other cute stuff she creates!

Fun with Artist Trading Cards!

Hello again! Things have been crazy as always and I've neglected my poor blog. Just wanted to share a little ATC project with you today. These were made for a swap in Fancy Paper Crafters . The swap theme was Spring ATCs. I love all the flowers and butterflies that come out in spring so naturally, this is what I was going to do for my ATC. With the designer paper that I chose, I had so many color options! I looked through my cardstock to see what I had in my stash (I'm on a mission to use my stash rather buy anything!) that would match and came up with this coral/pinky color. I used a Stampin Up punch for the butterfly. The flower center is a simple jeweled brad by Recollections. The jewels on the butterfly are by Nicole's Design (I think!). I couldn't find my flower punches so I used my spellbinder dies and embossed them. Pretty easy peasy right :). Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a crafty day!

Scrapbooking Project

Hey y'all! Sharing a scrapbook page with ya today (thought it would be good to mix up this blog a little instead of always doing cards!). When my oldest niece, Alex, graduated high school, I made a HUGE scrapbook of her life (birth to graduation). Well, I had so much fun with it and saw how much happiness it brought to her, I decided to do the same for my nephew, Austin, who graduated in the summer of 2013. This is one of my favorite layouts from his completed album. The completed album had right around 40 pages total. This was a challenge for me as I wasn't used to scrapbooking "boy" themed pages (we only have dogs and they've all been female). I wanted to use only one picture on this scrapbook page as I felt the photo deserved to be the sole focus on the page. I don't remember the name of the designer paper I used but I know all the cardstock is by Bazzill. I used my printer to type up the journaling (my handwriting is terrible so I always print when
