~Fun Fall Cards~

Hey there and happy fall y'all!

I am really into making fall cards this year, I have no clue why but for

some reason they are calling me! LOL

Maybe it's the fall kit I am working with-

For these cards I used the Farmer's Market November Kit 

from the Scraptastic Kit Club, I used the patterned paper

which had these adorable cards on them. Then I layered goodness. 

Honestly they took me all of 30 minutes! I love that. 

Oh I also added glitter inside the house heart, just for shits and giggles! LOL

**shhh** don't tell anyone I cussed on here....:) 

That's it for me today, this kids have a 3 hour day so I need to get rocking and rolling!

Happy fall my friends and please do share what you are crafting today!

~Thanksgiving: ColorBox Copper & Scraptastic Club!~

Good morning and Happy Monday my creative friends! 

I actually was able to craft this weekend, not only was I inspired 

and feeling back to my normal crafty self but also I had time!!! LOL

Ashley came over to help me clean out my craft room and I got right to work

the next day. I have a BIG special project coming up for VLVS and I got

a jump on my Thanksgiving projects too!

In the new Scraptastic Kit Club this month they have an exclusive stamp 

add-on. I used that and the Farmer's Market kit- perfect for Thanksgiving. 

 I really wanted to make the stamps popped and use them on a layout

rather than another card so I decided to grab the ColorBox Copper ink

and just make my own embellishments. 

 I am hoping if I make all my Thanksgiving layouts now, I can add my photos 

after we have Thanksgiving dinner/ day. Because I always fall behind on these

fall themed layouts. 

 One layout ready for a 5X7 photo down and 10 more to go! LOL

So are you working on your Thanksgiving projects yet???

~Spanking Ourselves With Meat.....~

Warning, if you don't have a twisted sense of humor,

Yes, I am weird but you know sometimes life is so deadly serious

Life's too short to be so serious, have a little fun today in the name of

Pinky and getting weird! :)

Happy Thursday!

~WINNER & Thankful Easel Card- Thanksgiving!~

 Hey there crafty peeps!

Did you miss me yesterday? I was knee deep in Bunco and children...

we had a sleepover with a total of 8 darlings...it was precious, 

plus our monthly Bunco night 

was last night so it was a busy Monday/Tuesday in our home. 

Anyways I did delve into the new November Scraptastic Club Kit "Farmer's Market"

to create a Thanksgiving card for my latest class at My Creative Classroom.

Of course it's not the only card, we are making 8 different cards but this is just one. 

I love the fall colors and even am enjoying the cooler fall weather,

not after 3 months of having the kids trapped in the house I might not be 

saying I like the cold...I might be saying I need me a vacation!

Anyways I also wanted to post the winner of my Holiday Layout Class

~Fabric Flower Pins & Hair Clips~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

Just popping in today to share this fin little hair accessory project or 

a rossette pin for your jacket. :)

I created these from fabric I bought at WalMart and 

the Crafter's Cafe collection from Blumenthal Lansing .

I actually created them a few months ago and forgot to share!

Just take the  3" strips of fabric, fold them lengthwise in half

right sides together. Stitch then turn the right way. 

Using hot glue, roll them into rosettes and adhere onto hair clip/pin

base. Add the Butterfly/button embellishments from Crafter's Cafe.

Then add some pearls using the Viva Decor Pearl Pen. (perfect for fabric) 

 That's it! :) 

Great gifts, very pretty in person too. 

Here is the back of the clip/pin. 

 I love the textures and how fun it is to have handmade hair accessories. 

That's it for me today, I am off to craft, and bake. I have to finish a class

I am teaching online at My Creative Classroom. 

And bake some goodness for Bunco tonight, have a crowd of ladies coming! :) 

Had a great weekend- Gage had a basketball game (his first), Justice

had an archery tournament both were with friends and a lovely game night

with 2 families we know. Nothing beats quality time with the gang!

I am so grateful for amazing people in our life, 

it truly is a blessing every day. 

Happy Monday and don't forget to enter my GIVEAWAY!

~Halloween Photos- Hobbs Style~

Ok this is pretty much just a personal blog post today :) 

I wanted to share our little Halloween, the last one

with 3 children under 18 because our oldest turns 18 next year! (wow I know right).

We started the night putting GOLD eye shadow on sweet

Austyn, while I did my makeup. That was a fun time LOL

She applied and applied and applied it...I think she put on 13 layers

totally adorbs! :)  I mean she was WONDER WOMAN 

and every WW needs GOLD eyeshadow.

 Then  got ready as a rag doll. 

 Here is Justice's Morph Suit (don't worry I don't understand it either).

 My crazy glitter eyelashes that sand blasted my eyes all night.

I won't ever wear those again! OMG glitter fell into my eyes all night long! UGH~

 And the wonderful picture taking begins....notice the red man...

yes and my Gage who was pissed I was taking photos and pissed he had to go. 

It was a HOT MESS....20 photos to follow, all worse than the last LOL

 This is the point I literally screamed "FINE SCREW YOU ALL" and stomped inside

like a 5 year old...yes I did and I am not ashamed. Ok maybe I am 

ashamed a little bit...LOL But they totally exasperated me!!!

 Red man begging me to keep taking photos LOL 

Note the mouth it open every single time.

Then friends all arrive at my house so we can head out to another friend's house. 

The funny part is, I snagged photos of these ones but then forgot the next batch to arrive LOL

Here is a blurry shot of Kevin because he was trying

to moon me and I was too slow to catch it. 

Trust me- he thought it was hysterical!

And the cutest Wonder Woman EVAH! :) Iron man too!

This boy hates photos so I took extra~

And after a nice night of Trick Or Treating with 13 children and  9 adults

we lost af few kids before this photo and I am sure the girl have better shots

but I was using my good old iphone LOL

Clearly you can see Gage is VERY Happy after I forced him to go.

I guess candy does heal all wounds! LOL

And that's the Hobbs Halloween recap-

Good times, GREAT friends, Fantastic kids! :) 

~Dreaming Of A Forest~

 Hello there, Hope your Halloween or Fall Fest went well. :) 

Can you believe it is November 1st? Oh I cannot!
I will share Halloween photos tomorrow....but today...

It's time to think about Christmas cards and the brand new 

release stamps from Avocado Arts.

I have had a lot of fun with this Very Merry set. 

I really wanted to use the trees and create a forest, but make

one tree pop up as the Christmas Tree like all those Christmas movies we love.

I ended up taking the more vintage style approach and actually I love the card.

For the trees I inked the stamps in several colors to get a rustic look. 

And quite frankly, every project needs stickles! LOL

NOW don't forget to check out the other girls! You are going to be inspired!
