October Sketch Challenge Winner

Wahooo! We have a winner. Thanks to random.org, the winner is

Catherine Oakley!

What a fabulous LO. I love the pattern paper she used, it's from Pebbles Inc, May Bouquet collection. I actually carry a bunch of Pebbles Inc paper at Artfuldelight. My favorite collection is the Tree House collection. LOVE it.

Thank you to everyone that participated in this months sketch. Be sure to stop by on Monday to see November's sketch. The winner November's challenge will win December's Monthly Kit.

On an unrelated note, let's talk die cutting machines. Anyone have any suggestions. I used to have a Big Shot from SU but I got rid of it a couple months back. Not really sure why but I am in the market for getting another machine. Anyone have any suggestions? Also any suggestions on your favorite solid colored cardstock? Right now I use SU but I am looking to try something new.

Happy Crafting!!

My second Christmas card

Yeah, I need to get on the ball, Christmas is right around the corner and I have only made TWO Christmas cards. Seriously last year I hustled the first week of December to get my cards made. I wait to make Christmas cards like I wait to go Christmas shopping. I swear I go the week before Christmas. I don't know why I do that to myself. Last year I actually went around Thanksgiving but that was only because I was about to have my baby and I was having a c-section so I knew I was not going shopping right after that. Yikes!
Anywho, I played along with Skipping Stones Design Challenge #48. I can't remember the last time I played along with them but when I saw the sketch, designed by Karen Giron.





Yeah I know, crappy picture, but again I am a night crafter. One day I will do something about the pictures. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey's Jovial collection. The 6x6 paper pad is available at Artfuldelight for $5.50. Forgive me but I cannot for the life of me think of the name of the 2 stamp sets I used. I am so bad with that. I know the sentiment is from SU but that's all I have. LOL! The snowman was from a set that I purchased at Michaels last winter. I used some Stickles on the scarf and hat. Can't really tell in my crappy picture. LOL!

Anywho, that's it for now. Check back later as the winner of October's sketch challenge will be announced and featured. I may wait until tomorrow, it will just depend on if I can get a free moment to post it.

Happy Crafting!!

My teacher

Good Morning! I finally got to craft last night, oh my it had been almost 2 weeks. It felt so great to sit at my table and get crafty!

The box template I purchased from The Wild Flower Patch. Since I have a Cricut and I use the SCAL program I was able to get the SVG file and have my Cricut cut out the box. Easy peasy.



I first featured that card in September when the monthly kit came out. The card and the box were embellished using Artfuldelight's September Monthly kit. That kit is still available at Artfuldelight. I made the box and the card for my son's speech therapy teacher. Oh how he loves her. Sometimes the only way to get him to bed at night, the night before he goes to a session, is to tell him he gets to go to school the next day and see Ms. Lindsey. The whole way to school he points out every bus we pass and as soon as he sees his school his face lights up. Ms. Lindsey has made his experience with school a happy and positive one and I am so happy she is his teacher this year. Both the card and box have a craft base and then are embellished with chipboard and paper from September's Monthly Kit.

I don't think I have ever posted pics of my kids so today I will share a few with you:




The top two pics are my sweet Isabel and the last one is my lil guy, Lil Tony. He is helping dad take his tires off to check his brakes. Isabel and Lil Tony are the only ones that like to take pictures. Max, who is 11 months, can't sit still long enough to snap a non-blurry photo. And Nicki, my 13 year old, would rather hibernate in her room and pout than get her picture taken. So I have a TON of photos of these two lil ones. :-)

Happy Crafting!!

Precious Moments

Good Morning! It is a beautiful crisp day here in Virginia and I'm lovin' it. I have school later today but for now spending some time with the family. :-)
