Halloween Sampler

This Halloween Sampler will be a fun and cute addition to your Halloween decor. We will be making this at a class on Tuesday October 1st at 10 am or 7 pm. I will also offer this as a kit if you can't come, with everything pre-cut and ready to assemble. The price for either the class or the kit is $8.

Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest. It is a windy, overcast day today, so I had to take the pictures indoors, so you get the glare from the picture frame as well as my back door.

Here is the sampler, without the glare. 

This class almost didn't happen as my children have been less cooperative about their nap times and I haven't spent as much time in my craft room as I would like.  But, I got this done and I hope you like it.  If you have any questions about the sampler or the class please let me know.

Dresser Card

I've had this dresser card idea saved for a while now, and decided that it would be best used as the birth announcement for my fourth boy. Being the fourth, we have everything we need and most things we want so he's not getting a lot of new stuff, so I want something about his arrival to be special and I thought this card would do it. I had to follow a couple of links, but the tutorial I used can be found on Jackie Topia's blog.

I used crumb cake cardstock and the word window punch for the drawers and retired brads and stamp set for the onesie. Then I used my birthday present, a Silhouette Cameo and MDS to cut out the stars. The monkey was also print and cut on my Cameo. The drawers were a little difficult to adhere, I hope they all made it attached, through the mail.

 I'm hoping this blog post brings the end of my 4 month hiatus, but with four boys, I just never know what my day will look like or where my time needs to be spent. Hope you enjoy this card.

Page A Day in May: Jump twice

Another example of making a page once and copying it for each boy.

Page a Day in May: Read

I added some texture to this page by using an overlay.

Paga A Day in May: Ryan turns 2

The background paper comes from the Big Top kit and it has those colorful banners on it, so it's perfect for a birthday page.

Page A Day in May: Thanksgiving Point

This is a simple page, highlighting a picture as a background.

Page A Day in May: Let's Scoot Again!

So this is an identical page to another one I did (scroll down two posts), one for each boy. I know I've said it before, but I just love how easy it is to make identical pages for each kid.
