Halloween Layout!!!! WHAT?????

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! And YES you Read that right! I have a Halloween Layout for ya today! What? You say? A Layout? Scrapper69? Theresa? Yup ME!!!!! :o) I started Scrapbooking 12 years ago when my oldest was 5 yrs. old and starting Kindergarten.... I wanted to be apart of everything he did back then and joined the PTA.... I was the Schools Historian and had noooooo clue what the heck I was doing! I had a friend give me a few pointers and there I was with a camera taking pictures of students and buying supplies for the pages.... Now mind you... 12 years ago they had the WORST possible supplies for scrapbookers.... It has come a long way since then.... THANK GOODNESS!!!!

I started Card making only 4 years ago.... and LOVE it! I haven't scrapbooked a page in about 2 years... I know it's been awhile.... But I have gone Digital with it.... I love being able to pick out designs and colors on my digital program and placing photo's where I like them to be.... Then all I do is print them out, on my wonderful Canon printer.... I bought this particular printer just so I can print my 12 x 12 layouts... It is much faster than the traditional way.... And I know a lot of you prefer the old fashion way and that's great! Today's Layout is made that same way and I hope you like it! Maybe one of these days I'll throw a Digital page up here and show it to you! On with my Layout!!!! :o)

(This is a 12 x 12 Layout)

Card stock - Black, Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss,

Crushed Curry, Lavender Lace (Stampin' Up)

Designer Paper - Finished in a Flash Halloween Kit (Hot off the Press)

Cartridges - Lacy Labels (Scallop Border) cut

@ 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" using my Design Studio

Celebrate with Flourishes (Title) Cut @ 3 1/2" and (Tree) Cut @ 7" I used all the features for the Happy Halloween Title and did some inking around the Purple parts... On the Tree I used all the features as well and inked the Moon and the Orange Shadow.... I used my Zig Glue pen for the crow then added some glitter for a little sparkle... I also added Dimensionals for the Tree and Title to make them pop up a little bit....

The photo is of my Youngest son who was 3 1/2 at the time...

This will be a 2 page layout... I was just pressed for time... Normally I have things done ahead of time, but the 4 days off has thrown my whole schedule out of whack and I hope to be back to normal by Monday! :o) Thanks for taking a peek, let me know what ya think!

Miislucky should be here tomorrow with something new...

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Cricut Cardz Challenge!!!!

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!

Do you know what today is?????

 What?? You don't??

Well let me tall ya.... Today is my very first Design Team Challenge!!! YEAHHHHH! I'm soooo super excited!!! Today's challenge over at http://www.cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/ is to Make a card for Fall using any cartridge you’d like, and any colors EXCEPT, NO brown, orange or yellow. Wow, could that not be a more interesting Challenge.... At first I thought WHAT??? If anyone has seen my Fall cards lately.... you would know that I use those colors ALL the time.... So this really was a Challenge for me... But I did come up with something that I'm proud of and here it is..... :o)

(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

This is a basic 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 (A2) size Card

and the layers are cut 1/4" smaller....

My Colors are - Really Rust, Black,

Mellow Moss, Very Vanilla (Stampin' Up)

Cartridge - Celebrate with Flourish Cut @ 2 1/2" (2x's) I used all the features for this Pilgrim Hat.... I will say this....when you go to cut the leaf, be very careful... Because the stem of the leaf is sooo thin it will break off easily..... At least at this size it will... :o)

Stamps - Weathered, In Everything Give Thanks (Stampin' Up)

(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

Here is the side view for ya..... You can see the Dimensionals that

I used to pop up the second cut layers for the Hat....

Hello and Happy Thursday everyone! I have lots

of pictures to show you today! :o)

I told you about my wonderful neighbor.... Dave the Corn man (As we call him)! He was kind enough to bring me some Corn, Cucumbers and a HUGE Zucchini for my family to enjoy..... Well I thought the zucchini would be great for a casserole I like to make so of course I said yes to bringing one over... I had NOOOO Clue it was gonna be sooo big! I didn't know what to do with it at first.... then I thought Zucchini Bread... Why Not? Sooo I'm planning on going away for a family reunion and this week has been very busy even today is busy... Soooo I spent the ENTIRE day Yesterday baking Bread, bread, and more Bread! I Made 18 loaves of Zucchini bread with this 1 gigantic Zucchini.... And YES that is a lot of bread!!! Soooo we ate the first loaf and I wrapped the second loaf up for my wonderful neighbor who brought it over to me..... and well the rest.... They are all going with me to this Family reunion..... It's a good thing I have an SUV! LOL Soooo here are the pictures of the Veggies he brought me..... and further down from that will be today's Halloween card that I made! :o)

Here is the Corn before I took the Husks off....

Here is the corn after words.... YUMMY!!!
I had to toss out 2 of the corns cause the worms ate through them pretty bad...

Here are the (2) Cucumbers he gave us....
I gave one to my mom... she loves cucumbers!

This may not look big in this picture....

But trust me when I say it was....

Think about it... 18 loaves of bread was made with this sucker! :o)

OK... Here are 10 of the loaves.... (2) are in the oven at this time and we at (1) and gave one to Dave the Corn man! I still had (4) loaves to go and this picture was taken at 8:15pm last night! I started baking at 10AM and I finished after 11PM... I told ya I would be busy! LOL

They are real tasty though.... They taste more like a cake than a bread... It will be a LOOONNNGGG Time before I want to make this bread again!
