Happy Halloween Eve!

Good Morning everyone - ok, good afternoon!  Thanks for being patient with me, I've been a little pre-occupied with family stuff going on.  Everything is ok, it's just a few things that we have to deal with.  That's why I say I might be a little sporadic in my posting.

So ~ are you all ready for Halloween?  I am pretty much so.  There is a couple more things that I'd like to do - I'm not sure if I will get them taken care of or not, but I'll try.  Tomorrow we are going to carve our pumpkins.  Danielle wanted to do it last night because she is not here this evening, but I told her she had to wait.  She wanted to do it last night because we roast the seeds and she wanted some pumpkin seeds.  I was a little pooped with getting things together for her to take to school today and baking stuff for Ricky's work that I did not feel like roasting seeds too.  It will just have to wait til tomorrow.

I did get a couple of things made for the bazaar in a couple of weeks.  One thing that I like to do is make clipboards ~ and I've had a couple of the clear clipboards for a while now and I wondered how I could alter them.  Well right in the Angel Company catty there is a tutorial on how to cover a clear acrylic clipboard so I had to have a go at it.

This is the first one that I did.  I took it and cut the Summer Picnic DP to fit and adhered it to the back of the clipboard using Mod Podge.  I waited for it to dry then I added another coat to the BACK of it to protect the paper.  I let it sit overnight and then I added the ribbons to the clip and a pen that I added some matching paper to the inside of the barrel and I was done!

Same thing, just with DP from the Parisian Summer collection.

Tomorrow is a busy day, but I hope to post something for you!  Have a great afternoon and thanks for stopping by!

Happy almost T.G.I.F!!

Almost...  I'm starting to get excited with this time of year approaching.  As most of you know I love Fall ~ and all the apple and harvest festivals up and coming, it's so exciting.

I'm going to be kinda quick this morning.  Gotta get busy you know...

This is another one of my CD calendars that I made.  Don't you love it?  The base of it is Bashful Blue that I layered with some Friskars DP and Blue Bayou cs.  I took my top note die and cut the top with my cardstocks and layered it with some flowers in the same colors that I cut out with my Flower Layer 3 die, one of Mom's crochet flowers and a crystal brad.  The little tear off calendar is from Skybluepink.com.  It was a quick and easy project. 

Here is another quick project.  These really do go fast if you paste down the paper and let it sit overnight.  I took a clipboard and adhered the paper from the Tea Party collection with Mod Podge and let it sit overnight.  Then the next day I added all the goodies.  I cut the scallop circle with my SU! die and attached it to the paper.  I cut some flowers with my Flower Layers 3 die, some chipboard, some crochet flowers, some prims & crystal brads.  The stamped words are from The Angel Company grab bag that I had purchased.  I added some matching paper to the inside of the pen, ribbon to the clip at the top, notepad, and a little calendar from Skybluepink.com.  The green  bar at the bottom I hot glued on.  I picked it up from Walmart a while back to add to my desk and didn't ~ I thought it would look good at the bottom of the clipboard to use with push pins if it was hung on a wall.

This is pretty much the same ~ just different Ü.  Same paper, same dies, same everything just different colors.

I hope this inspires you to create something beautiful today.  Have a great day!
