♥ Simon Says...Autumn Leaves ♥

Happy Wednesday! It's time for another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This time we want to see leaves on your cards in celebration of Autumn! Such a lovely time of year! Cooler temps...beautiful colors in the trees...the smell of apple cider and cinnamon. Love it!!

For my card, I used some sentiments from one of the Simon Says Stamp Exclusive stamp sets by Kelly Purkey simply called "Autumn". I filled a Simple Stories Harvest Lane Memorabilia Pocket with some leaves using the Memory Box Maple Leaf Die. All of the papers are from the Simple Stories Harvest Lane 6x6 Paper Pad.

I made my own decorative buttons using some buttons from the Autumn Leaves Clear Bag O' Buttons and some of the Harvest Lane papers. I punched out some 1/2" circles and then sprayed the punched circles (patterned side) with some Spray Adhesive that dries clear. Then add your button over the top of the punched circle. Punch out holes using a Paper Piercer or needle. There you have your own decorative buttons!

And don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Enjoy your Autumn!!

♥ MOJO 261 ♥

Happy Friday everyone! Hubby and I are off to a wedding tomorrow. We have to leave at 8:30 in the morning. I never got dressed for a wedding at 8:30 in the morning! But it is in Pennsylvania, so we need to travel a little to get there for the Church. My mom will be here with the kids, so they will be in their glory! They adore their grandmother! So she will stay the night until Sunday and then my son and hubby have off from school/work Monday for Columbus Day. So we will be going to the Boardwalk in Seaside Heights for some fun! What are your plans for the weekend?

This is a Christmas card that I made using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch. I used papers and stickers from the Handmade Holiday line by Simple Stories.

I also used a Maya Road Chipboard snowflake which I painted white, glittered up and added a pearl in the center with Liquid Pearls. I finished it off with some homemade, hand-dyed seam binding.

Here is the fun MOJO 261 Sketch.

Have a fabulously Crafty Weekend!!

Happy Friday! My son made it through his first week of school as a first grader! And I did too! ;) He was so excited to be back on the bus with his friend Kailyn! They are so cute together!

I made this card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch. Such a fun one too! I used papers from the new line by Simple Stories called Harvest Lane. Such a sweet line!

I also used some Liquid Pearls, a Prima Crystal Heart, glitter and some gingham ribbon.

Here is the Mojo 257 Sketch!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

♥ celebrate...summer memories ♥

Happy Saturday everyone! Well, Summer is almost over! I'm sad, yet excited for Fall. My favorite time of year! This summer was fun yet it went by so quickly! We have a lot of great memories though. Mini vacations...swimming...walking on the Boardwalk...playing in the arcade...visits from family from far away...picnics...BBQ's. Celebrate Summer Memories!

Love this sweet line by Simple Stories, Summer Fresh. It reminds me of a summer picnic we had. I used several different papers and stickers from the line.

I covered the cloud in some glitter to make it pop.

I used this fun sketch by CPS. It is Sketch #280.

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and for everyone in the U.S. have a wonderful Labor Day on Monday!

It's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! We want to see animals on your cards! Dogs, cats, elephants, birds etc! We can't wait to see all of your adorable creations!!

For this week's card, I decided to use a new stamp set by Crafty Secrets. It's called Cutie Cat. It's such an adorable and fun set! So many sweet images and sayings. (See Stamp Set below!)

I also used some Simple Stories papers from the 6x6 Fabulous Paper Pad. I think they make for a fun and colorful birthday card.
