November Recipe Card

Finally completed all my recipe cards for my swap tonight, YAY! They turned out pretty good for a last minute design. My sweet hubby helped me get these finished so that I would have them all ready!

Here it is...My November Recipe Card!

For this month's swap we also have to bring the recipe as well. It's a Pecan Pumpkin Dessert and it is to die for. My new favorite by far!

Hope ya'll enjoy!

March Calendar Page

Finally am getting started on the remaining 6 months for my 6x6 calendar. Not quite going in order, but hey they will all get done still!

Here's what I created for March and I decided to go with a St. Patty's theme.

Not sure if ya'll noticed from the picture, but I got an early Christmas present from the hubby! I have been wanting one of these for quite some time. So excited for my new Ott-Lite! I love it!



Snow Much Fun

Just love the Snow Much Fun stamp set from Stampin Up! It's too cute! Plus Snowmen are my favorite!

On my card today I used a spotlighting technique using a snowflake punch and it turned out so cute! Got this card idea from Stampin Up demonstrator, Dee Slater. Am making these cards for my monthly card swap as well.

Morning all!

I'm just starting to get back into the swing of things. When your gone for nearly a week it kind of throws you off. I had a blast at the German Fest though and got to help my friend out with all of her wedding stuff. So it definitely was a fun 4 day weekend!

Well, I finally got my hair done and it looks pretty cute! I'm a red head now!

Here are a couple Christmas cards I made that I just had to share with ya'll.

As always, enjoy! Be back soon!

Austin bound

Gone to Austin for a fun filled weekend! Family time, then to the Wurst Fest in New Braunfels! Will be back late Monday.. . hope everyone has a GREAT weekend as well!

♥ ya'll!

Save the Date Magnet

Morning all!

Hope ya'll are doing well! Life is good here, just still keeping busy with work.

My friend Stephanie is getting married in May and I'm doing all of her invitations, save the dates, favors, ceremony programs...you name it! So excited to help her out with all of this!

Here is the Save the Date magnet I designed for them (The jpeg file):

Here's the completed one on my fridge! It really turned out good! These were all hand cut, have about 40 cut, just 60 more to go!

Have a wonderful Wednesday all! My boss is treating us and our spouses all to dinner tonight because of exceeding our goal in October! Should be fun!

Calendar Class

I had a blast at my Calendar class on Saturday. Got to make months July-December and they are oh so cute! The lovely Elizabeth of Animal Scraps designed all these wonderful calendar pages.

As always, hope you enjoy!

Quilled Angel

Took my first attempt at a quilled person, which is a bit more difficult than your basic quilling. But hey, I'll only get better with practice!

My bestie is coming into town this weekend and I'll be working on her Save the Dates and other wedding stuff. Should be fun! And we are also going to a 6x6 Calendar Class tomorrow, can't wait.

Well here's my quilled angel, hope you enjoy!

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

With all the Christmas stuff going up everywhere it has already started to get me into the spirit! This is by far my favorite time of year.

I joined in on the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week which was to make a project using a bird. I am loving my new job still, especially when I get to bring home the extra paper scraps! Hope you enjoy this simple Christmas card I made for the challenge.
