I'm a Winner!

I could not believe when I checked the winner list over at The Outlawz, my name was on it! How very exciting! My night has just been made. I won a Gilli Goodie Bag from Gilli Rubber Stamps. A girl can never have enough stamps!
Busy night tonight, going to set up for a craft show tomorrow. Danny is coming with me to help, if his dad will let him. He is supposed to be getting his things ready for hunting tomorrow.

I am totally amazed at how fast the year has gone by. It is practically mid-November! Christmas is right around the corner. I have picked up a couple of small Christmas gifts, but nothing of great significance. It will get done, always does.
My little man started out with a cough/cold/stuffiness a few weeks ago. This past week it his cough became worse. A trip to the doctor this morning to discover he has walking pneumonia. Tonight was his raingutter regatta for scouts and we had to miss it. I feel bad about it, the regatta would have been Danny's last one as a Cub Scout. In the spring he moves on to Boy Scouts. The doc said absolutely nothing for 2 days, give the antibiotic a chance to kick in...
I was able to participate in a couple of challenges, which made me feel good. I've been so swamped with getting ready for the craft show that playing with my paper isn't fun anymore. My goal is to have everything made that I am going to sell by Sunday, stamp the greetings, match the envelopes and have everything packed up and ready to go by Wednesday. Hopefully I do well.

Crafting By Designs - November Wk 1 - Tie it up

I've been so busy getting things ready for the craft show. Never again am I going to rent a space without having the goods ready. I hope I do well next week.
This card was made for the challenge over at Crafting By Designs. I think out of all of the cards I've made so far, this is my favorite. I wish I had more brown snowflake paper, I wasn't sure how the card would turn out, but I love it! It was a very simple card to make and of course I used my Cricut. I have a Cricut addiction, lol. The cartridge I used is the Winter Woodland Cartridge.
As always, thanks for stopping by! Have a great night!

November??? Really?

When I was growing up, the timeless phrase that me, the Know It All Kid, heard over and over was how fast time goes. Enjoy it. Don't rush it. Well now that I am in the middle age group (I'm not quite sure how that happened!) I realize just how true those words are. Time is flying! Thanksgiving in less than 4 weeks, Christmas is less than 60 days away! Yikes!
My blog is being neglected, as usual. I have a craft show on November 19th. So many things to make, so little time. And a very good friend of mine asked if I would make favors for a baby shower she is hosting for a friend of hers. These are the favors:

They are filled with M&M's and Skittles. For my craft show I'm going to make tons of these. I have a feeling that Christmas designs will sell well.
I haven't updated my pics for a while, so I apologize in advance for the hodge podge. Just some examples of what I will be selling.

Hope all is happy in you world! Thanks for stopping by.

The Stressed out Scrapper

Do you ever wonder why you do the things that you do at times? I decided to rent a space at a local craft show in November. I have nothing ready, nothing made....so for the past week and a half I have been spending every available minute downstairs in my messy, scrappy corner. And let me tell ya, after November 19th, my messy, scrappy corner is going to be thoroughly cleaned out. Oh what a mess! I'd post a pic of it, but I'm too embarrassed to show anyone. When I'm done there now, paper is flying! I'm not quite sure how much to make. I have tons of embossed cards that I used sell at shows, BD. (Before Danny) I have had them forever and I really would like to get rid of them. I'm going to sell them 2/$1. I hope they sell. Well here is a preview of what I have completed right now.

BBTB2 Wheel Barrow Challenge & Crafting By Designs One Layer Challenge

Yesterday was International Card Making Day, I was away at our camp in the mountains. I delayed it one day for me. As soon as we got home and settled, I played with my paper. I really wish I would win the lottery and I could play with my paper all of the time.
This week's challenge over at BBTB2 was chosen by Donna Mundinger. I absolutely love Donna's work. She is incredibly talented. Donna picked the Wheelbarrow from Walk in My Garden. To be honest, I completely forgot about the challenge and as I was cleaning up, I remembered. Not exactly how I wanted my card to turn out, but I'm not totally disappointed with it. Hope you like it.

And the challenge chosen by Doris over at Crafting by Designs for the first week of October was to design a card using only one layer. Sounds easy, right? Well not really. It is hard not to layer things. I was going through my papers trying to decide what I wanted to use. I had to put my chalks away, so that got me thinking. It was freezing cold this week, the high was 40 degrees and it rained non-stop, since Friday! I wasn't a happy camper. I decided to dig through my stencils, something that I RARELY use. I came up with this card, I think it is cute and it was super easy. Could also be used a CAS card too. Maybe, just maybe this will be my Christmas card this year.

As always thanks for stopping by. Let me know you were here. I appreciate and love reading all comments. Get wild-n-crazy, become a follower of my blog.
