~Halloween Decor & How To + Video Tutorial~

Good morning crafty friends! :)

I sat down the last 2 days and made this fun BOO Banner using

Clear Scraps Mini Bat Album, Cuttlebug & Embossing Folders, Momenta

Paper & Alphabet, StaZon Ink, Clearsnap Glitter, & Clearsnap Smooch Spritz~

And here is a quick video on how I embossed the bats.

(In the video I show how to emboss a flower, but the same

technique can be used for anything that will fit in the folder.)

After I embossed each bat (ok my son did it for me LOL)

I took Jet Black Stazon Ink and rubbed it on each bat, then

I rubbed it over the edges to add a little more darkness.

Then I took Clearsnap Charcoal glitter, and glittered all the edges.

Around each bat, it not only added bling but covered any adhesive.

I used Beacon Fabri-Tac for this because Beacon is so amazing on

Clear Scraps acrylic, it does not crack or yellow or fall apart later.

For the BOO title I used Glue Arts U CUT Rais'ems to pop them

up and added green glass beads around the middle O for some SNAZ~

Since I wanted to add green pearls as the ribbon strands, and I

could not find them in GREEN, I used my handy dandy Smooch Spritz.

In Citrus Tickle, I just sprayed them down and it gave the pearls

a fun green hue. I love it!

I feel like now I need to say Easy Breezy Beautiful..... hahaha

Anyways a fun Halloween banner...Loves it!~

Happy Hump Day Everyone! I am off to bake and cook for my little

American Horror Story premiere party tonight.

~More Card Making Plus Stamp & Clear Scrap Package Winners!!~

Good morning my crafty friends,

today we have the Stamp Box set WINNERS,

and the Clear Scraps/American Craft set winners...

And a Father's Day card....

for some reason I was stumped yesterday.

You know I knocked out five projects the day before but the

Father's Day card kicked me LOL

Finally I went with my old reliable Cricut Imagine.

And I also used my new Cuttlebug Folder! They have these border strips

now, that I have fallen in love with! :)

Pretty much everything is printed from the Cricut Imagine

except the little button on the flower.

My friend in GA, Becky...she sent me the flower, we did a jar swap.

I love little jar swaps...I find the coolest items in her swaps!! :)

Thanks Becky!!!

Ok on to the winners...

And the Clear Scraps album and Thickers/Brad winner is...

~Super Saturday Exciting Weekend Ahead!!!!!!~

Good morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up at 6am to feed my chickens on this beautiful chilly morning
and I was READY TO GO!
Last night my son played his FIRST official baseball game (in uniform and all)
and let me tell you, I am officially a baseball mom!
There was 5 seconds left for them to hit, they were going to lose
by I think 4 points, the Coach pitched to Justice and he HIT IT!!!!!
He ran his heart out and they ended up scoring 3 points, then another hit!
It was tied up and went into double OT!
They WONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!No it was not just for me, but the pride in my boys eyes,
the excitement that he actually hit the ball and was able to help
the team. *sigh* brought me to tears I tell you what.


OK done with mommy pride blogging (hehehe)
Dirty Scraps Challenge #7 is up and it is a SPONSORED challenge
so there will be a PRIZE!
Go check it out, this is my LO and I have closeups and the journaling on the

http://dirtyscraps.blogspot.com/2010/02/dirty-scraps-challenge-7.html

I hope you play along, I know everyone has drama issues at some point

no matter how centered and amazing someone is, they always run across
some crazies, I know I do, they are far and few between
but man when I run into crazies they are full on CRAZAY! LOL

Alrighty then, got to make it quick today, off to baseball again
I promise I won't flood y'all with baseball pictures and stories, this was
