Christmas Card Class

ACOT is hosting an amazing crop this weekend with tons of challenges, inspiration, points, and prizes. I am hosting 2 shifts- Friday from 7-9pm EST and Saturday 2pm-4pm EST.

I am also teaching a Christmas Card Class during the Crop on Sunday at 4pm EST. I have been very busy working on my cards. I hope you can join me!!! Here are some sneak peeks:

Nook and Pantry

Time to share all of my Nook and Pantry LOs that I made for ACOT. First, I have to mention that I am so thankful to be a part of the ACOT Creative Team. All of the ladies I work with are so talented and amazing. Kristin, the owner, is beyond generous and great to work with. And I get many fantastic products to create with. Since it is that time of year, I had to mention how fortunate I feel to be able to be a part of the team. Thanks to all of you for making my experience wonderful each day.

I absolutely loved the BG Nook and Pantry line. The patterns and colors were perfect for my photos. Without further ado, here are my pages:

The last two projects were wood items purchased at Michaels. I intended to make them as Christmas presents (and they would make great gifts for someone to set on their desk at work.) But, I love them so much, I don't think I can give them away.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a great day!!!

Halloween Craftiness

I didn't get a chance to share all of the stuff I made for Halloween. So busy with all of the parties and everyday life.

We had a party for the Brownies and here are the cupcakes that I made. Had to make them cute. Thanks so much, Kristin, for the cute cupcake wrappers. Some of the ones she sent me were from this site. So many cute things.

Also for the party, I made this little guessing game. I filled an empty Marshmellow fluff jar with an Autumn mix of candy corns and decorated it. I also used an empty icing container to make the little container to hold the guesses. The girls had fun trying to guess how many candy corns were in the jar. I was thinking you could change the papers and do this for any party/holiday.


I also made this Bingo game for them. Annabella ended up taking it to school and they used it for their class party. She loved it so much and her teacher let her call out the words (which she especially loved.) I printed the Bingo cards from this site using an already made list of Halloween words. I matted the cards on black cardstock, added punched Boo borders (Martha Stewart punch) and stamped the pumpkins in the free spot. For the calling cards, I printed an extra card on white cardstock in the largest size. I matted those on the leftover orange and black cardstock I had from creating the Bingo cards. I did laminate them to make sure they lasted. The kids used candy corns for their markers. Again, you could probably make them for any holiday/party theme.



Thanks for taking a peek and hope you had as great of a holiday as we did.

Halloween Photos

So busy this time of year with Halloween and all of the fun it brings. Annabella had a Halloween party at school this year on Friday and we had a Brownie Halloween Party on Friday night. On Saturday, we went to another Halloween party and also went Trick-or-Treating. I think I broke my finger during trick-or-treating. I always find a way to injure myself and it is never graceful.

Here are some photos of Annabella. This year she decided to be a "pretty witch." Yep, that's what she called it. She also told me that if she was a witch, she would have pink hair. Her reasoning was that if the Wicked Witch of the West had a green face, she would have pink hair. It was fine with me and she looked adorable with pink hair.

We bought her witch costume and she decided to add her black and pink petticoat some time before Halloween. The witch's hat came with her costume and I added the feathers. I purchased a feathered boa and used it to embellish the brim of her hat and the bottom of the broom stick. I made the broom stick by covering the pinata stick from her birthday party with black duck tape and adding the feathers at the bottom. She was so happy with her costume.
