Well, Hurricane Sandy has come and gone. Prayers are with everyone who was hit the hardest, I don't know anyone personally but I know of some families that lost everything. We were lucky here along Lake erie. Our big window in the living room leaked for 3 days straight, I dumped alot of water and washed a few loads of towels but we weathered through. Only a 2 hour delay at school and no power loss. I haven't "made" anything to take pics of, been doing a few swaps and packing up for my weekend crop in Ohio. Super excited for that! If I come up with anything, I'll be sure to post it.

I don't know why this pic is sideways, it shows the right way on my SD card!

It's been crazy, busy around here! I've joined Swapbot and have been making cards and ATC's in the hopes that I'll have enough ratings so I can join a mega Christmas card swap at the end of the month. In the meantime here are a few Halloweenn cards I put together with a cheap scrap paper pack I picked up at A.C. Moore. I'm in love with the witch hat kraft cardstock!

Well, it's been a wild week around here! So much going on and so few hours in the day. Thursday was my MIL's birthday...I had a doctor appointment in the morning and when my sister got off work we headed 3 hours downstate to bring her son home from college for the weekend. 6 hours of driving. Whew. It was so hectic I had to use a card from my stash for my MIL. I heard she liked it.
My boys are off camping ( brrr it's going to get into the 30's tonight!) and they took the camera so I won't be able to post anything I make until after they get home. I will spend some time in the krafty korner getting ready for a weekend crop in Ohio next month.
Be back soon with pics. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy World Card Making Day!

In honor of World Card Making Day I took some time to get into the krafty korner and make a few cards. The first 2 Christmas cards came together quickly. I used an older paper stack from DCWV for the patterned paper, Recollections cardstock and a Stampin Up! punch for the stocking. The sentiment is from an old set I've had for a while now.

The last card is a new stamp from Rubber Stampede that I just picked up. I colored it with Faber-Castell gelattos (wow, they are so smooth!) and filled in with Stampin Up! markers and brushed some stickles over the trees to make them shine.

It feels great to get back in my room and do something!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Hello! Thanks to a Facebook friend I just may have this blog picture thing figured out! So, before she leaves me I'm going to try and add a picture of a card I made a while ago.
