Snowman Belly Box


Isn't this little guy cute!  I made 8 of them the other day for the young women that I teach in church.  I plan on making a few more for music teachers, bus drivers, ladies that I go visit each month etc.  I think they will be cute with a little bag of Hershey's kisses.  Fun fun.  This is a My Scrap Chick file and it was so easy to assemble.  Love it.  I have a group of ladies coming over and we are going to mass produce this little guy.  He was my attempt to make sure it would be fun and easy.  Now on to the gingerbread one.

Gingerbread Belly Box

So the snowman belly box that I did the other day from My Scrap Chick turned out so cute and easy to assemble, I decided to make his friend.  I love this one too.  I made 8 snowmen and only 1 of this little guy so far, but I will be making more of them.  So cute and fun!  Hope everyone likes them this year!

Gobble Sign


My sweet hubby built me a ladder for my porch out of scrap wood that was headed to the dump.   LOL.   Well, since it's almost Thanksgiving, I decided to make my "first" item to go on it.  Here's my sign!  LOL.  On the back side, I am going to put "Beware," then it will be good for Halloween and Thanksgiving!  That's a win win.  Can't wait to make me a turkey or something else to hang underneath it.  When I get some hooks, I'll take a picture of it hanging outside!  Can't wait!  This little turkey file came from Too Cute by Jessica.  Isn't he cute.

You Warm My Heart Layouts





You warm my heart layouts.  Love these cute little animals.  What a fun way to showcase some winter photos.  Don't their little hats and the snow just make you want to be inside where it is warm and cozy?  Me too.  This time of year, I just want to curl up by the fire with a good book or hide in my scraproom with a cup of cocoa making cute little files!  LOL.  



Holiday Cheer Layout

 
 


Seems like I am always behind on Christmas photos.  I try each year to get the previous year done before Christmas and sometimes I make it and sometimes I don't.  I am, however, loving these colors together and these little gingerbread kids are just so adorable.   There were doing a sweets challenge and I thought you don't get any sweeter than these little guys so I decided to join the challenge and make these cute little sweets to go on a page with my sweets.  LOL.  I think they turned out so cute!  Love them!

Family Photos Layout with Turtles


These people are my most favorite people in the whole wide world.  I love my family and am so grateful we got a current photo of all of us together.  What a wonderful blessing.  My heart is full when I think of how blessed I am to have such a wonderful husband and children.  Nothing is as important to me as they are.  So in wanting to keep this photo, I had these little turtles that I just couldn't wait to make.  Aren't these little turtles adorable!  They came from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I think they've become a new favorite.  Love the eye shape on them.  So so cute!  Anyway, just catching up on some scrapbooking and joining a "Who am I thankful for?" challenge at the same time.  A double win!

Cowgirl Sun Card


Here's a sun card that I made for a challenge and I decided to add the little cowgirl to it.  She turned out so cute!  What a fun little cowgirl.  My daughter loves her cowboy boots so I just had to have this file.  She is from Precious Piecings and I think she is adorable!

Fall Days 12x12 layout

,

Ok, so I am thankful for an assignment to step out of my box. I signed up to do a 2 page 12x12 layout exchange for my scrapbook retreat and loved it so much I had to make another 12x12 layout.  I just may be hooked.   So since I don't normally do 12x12 I started looking for motivation and came across a few fall and Thanksgiving challenges.  Since it is that time of year, I decided to give it a try.   I love these files and colors and everything about this layout.  The colors are vibrant and fun and will look so fun with the pictures I have of the changing fall colors.  I am so excited to go to retreat and get my other layouts from the exchange and put together my first 12x12 book.  I have TONS of scrapbooks, but NONE 12x12.  This will be my very first one!  LOL.  Oh and these files are all from Miss Kate's Cutables.  I just combined them to make one layout.  One was a title and the other was called fall bird I think.  Anyway, I absolutely LOVE them!  So glad that I purchased these....what a fun page for $1.00 worth of files!

New ATG Holder




Ok....so my ATG box holder that I made has seen better days.  So I found this wooden box for $.50.  It looked like it was the right size so I grabbed it and brought it home.   Some paint, some paper, and some decoupage and voila..... one cute new ATG gun holder!  Love it!
