Halloween Card

I made several of these this week.  Downside, I can't remember where I got the files at. :-(  They were free on blogs or sites but I forgot to bookmark them so I could share where they came from.

They were really fun to make!  The webs were so delicate and intricute.  My husband was in awe of how well the cricut cut them out!  The spiders just looked too plain for me- so I painted glue on them and sprinkled a fine glitter on them.  I used a white pen to write the Happy Halloween!  The inside I used a little crystal ghost.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Ice Cream Recipe Book

Hi Everyone!!!!!!  Gotta tell you I have been having a blast this week!  I got this fabulous ice cream maker for Mother's Day this year and ... WOW.  We are so loving it and so is everyone else that gets to eat the ice cream.  I'm going to give an ice cream maker as a gift for Christmas this year and thought what better way to personalize this gift, than by adding a recipe book to go with it!

I ran this idea by a SCAL group called ScalHints.  One of the members leaped to my rescue and created fantastic files for me to create an Ice cream recipe book!  Thank you Sher. It is just perfect! Click here to see Sher's Blog.  She also gave me a great tip to use gift boxes from the dollar store for my book.  It cut with ease on the cricut with the regular housing!

 Along the way, they led me to how was I going to keep this book together.  They told me about 'The Cinch"  After much debate and thinking of more ways to use it, I did indeed purchase it!  I've only used it once but I do love it!  And plan on using it much more.

Ok Ok LOL here are the pics!  This is my first ever book that I've made.  I've always bought scrapbooks till now!

I put a single recipe on each page till I got to the last couple of pages and then was able to put 2 on those pages.  The last page is a Hints and Tips page and is also the back cover.  The front and back cover has cardboard sandwiched between the cardstocks. The rest of the pages are cardstock. I couldn't find and really didn't have room for any further embellishments other than the ice cream cones.  I used pen detailing and chalk on those.

I was going to laminate the whole book before I added the binding but had severe problems with that.  It didn't like the thickness of the pages.  I ruined 2 pages and had to redo them.  I guess I should have done better homework on the laminator's.  But I will find uses for it too!

Special thanks to everyone for helping this project come alive!

Thanks for stopping by!

Where have I been?????

Hi Everyone,

Honestly, I can't tell you where I've been.  I guess just busy with life.  I've been working on some new surprises for the website.  I also have been working on Christmas gifts.  I would love to show them to you, but since my family reads this, probably not a good idea! LOL  I would ruin their surprises.  But I will take pictures and after Christmas will post them.

I'm missing the pool already.  We closed it a few weekends ago.  We hadn't been able to swim for a while anyway but still not liking it at all.  The weather has turned cool and beautiful!  Loving having the window's open and a breeze flowing in.  I could do without the sneezes, however! :-)

My baby boy turned 21 this past Sunday.  Talk about making ya feel old! :-)  He was out of state, so didn't spend his birthday with him.  I think this is the first time we have ever been apart- literally on his bday.  Makes it hard on a mom.  But all grown up and making his own path! :-)

I've got a "To Make List" a mile long for the upcoming holidays, b-days, and even a baby shower gift.  I really really should start things much earlier.  But I'm hoping to have everything done by Thanksgiving.  Been thinking about what I want to do for Christmas cards this year.  I haven't come up with anything I like yet, so will look around and get some more idea's and something will pop out at me!

That's a bout it!
