Ugh. And sooo fall-y

First for the Ugh. I'm sick. Yucky sick. Finally hit the Dr.'s office yesterday, and got some antibiotics. And a host of other things as well. lol Slowly feeling better...

Vacation with my family was great. I took some really great pictures that I'll have to share one of these days soon...
But enough about me - I loved working with the latest kit this month from the Paper Niche
6x6 card:
The rest are 12x12 layouts. :)



Can't forget my first layout for Kaisercraft digital! {A lot's been happening around here...}
You can see some tips on creating the 3D look title here, on their blog. :)

Guest Spot at Point. Blank. Period.

I am sooo honored to be a guest for the fabulous Sasha Halloway on her challenge site: Point. Blank. Period. this month!

I've sorta been in a little funk, so it was great to have a challenge to pull me through! {Am wondering if that has to do with the fact that I'm still SICK. Poo.}

These photos were taken by Ethan - with my iphone. And this is HIS story right now. I love that I seem to have someone in the family following in my footsteps already! :)

Some new Digi Stuff, a little News and Vacation? :D

First off - what is up with the cold and flu season this year?! I have spent more time on the couch and in bed this past week than I have in a really long time. While crawling out of this cold induced fog, I had the opportunity to finish a few things...

A lovely, soft, elegant colab with Wendy Page, featuring the colors of an autumn sunset:
And a fun mini for scrapping those sports related events this time of year!
The matching alphas have a fun fabric texture to them, too. :)

A little announcement. Really happy. :D

And yes - we're taking a vacation!! We haven't gone anywhere for quite some time, and needless to say, between being sick, and getting ready, I'm well... swamped! In a good way, though. Definitely NOT complaining. :) I'll see what I can do about posting through next week, but if you don't see me - well, I'm off the grid! lol

Check out that Smile - and the Famous Muffins

That's one big smile. We found the much sought after costume. :) D. found one he was happy with as well...
And the yummy pumpkin spice muffins with cream cheese icing I made this morning.
No major projects to show at the moment, though there are a few in the works! I've got a guest spot coming November 1st, so check back to see what's going on then! :).
ETA: I did get a chance to play for a few minutes this afternoon! Using the new American Crafts Halloween line - it's a gift card holder. I'm actually thinking about a few of these for Christmas, too! A little more fun than a card. :)

The rest of the day promises to be busy - Halloween celebrations are starting with a stop at the library tonight! Stories, crafts, and some candy - the boys love it...

Hope everyone's enjoying the season {said while munching my honeycrisp apple and icing the rest of my pumpkin spice muffins!}

One Mysterious Mask

I dropped by The Paper Niche last night and shared a make n' take with the ladies at the crop!
I just looove those metallic Zing! embossing powders from American Crafts... I used the green one here. I also misted with the green ivy glimmermist from Tattered Angels. Stickles, a few feathers, a bat trim from the fabric store, and some prima goodies made this one mysterious mask! Can't forget - the stamp is from the fabulous Tim Holtz! :) REALLY versatile - the flourish is fabulous...

Hope you're enjoying a creative weekend! I'm off to do some digi work!

A spooky house, and hyper for halloween :P

We found the cutest little kit for a haunted gingerbread house at Target a few weeks ago, and we put it together the other night!
{Notice the pajamas, as we've sort of been under the weather here this week. :P}
Looks like a lovely little house from the front - then... someone egged it with candy corn! Bwahahahaha! My husband's comment: "Well, it is Halloween..."
We've had much racing up and down around here today. The boys decided to pull out old costumes and try them on. On the whole, they've been hyper for Halloween.
And, um, we are giving them candy on top of this? I'm gonna need some sugar myself to deal with all this.
This afternoon, we're heading out to look for a couple of new costumes. A bit behind our usual schedule for some reason this year. I think it's b/c the boys just couldn't decide what they wanted to be.

Oh, and can't forget - a cute little kit from Miss Tiina! This is an older photo, but I thought it was perfect for this kit! lol
Well, off to handle the natives... Enjoy your weekend! I'm looking forward to a few hours hanging out with some friends and scrapping tonight! Woot!

A Funky Fall, the Blogwear winner, and Struttin' on the {Halloween} Catwalk!

The fabulous Traci Murphy and myself got together for a fun fall colab!
Funky Fall is jam packed with the warmth and fun of fall! Here's a layout I put together with some of my portion:
And I finally got a chance to generate a random number for the blogwear winner! Congrats, MandaKay!! And now worries! If you want a little help with adding the blogwear, I'll set you up! {It's really not as hard as it sounds, once you've done it.}
And guess what? It's been a while since I've had anything up on the Catwalk at SisTv - my glittered pumpkins were picked for their Halloween themed Catwalk this week!

And to my RAK girls - I'll be heading to the PO this week! Unfortunately the boys are under the weather today, but your RAKs will go out before Friday! :D
