Thanksgiving Napkin rings.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  The weather was just beautiful here.  The whole week is going to be perfect. 

I totaly scrap lifted this idea from Arin   http://apieceoflifespie.blogspot.com  Arin had made the Indian boy and girl from PDDU.  She had used some Burlap that she had left over from another project.  I didn't have have any Burlap, so I used the napkins that we will be using on Thanksgiving day.  I've been using cloth napkins now for a few years.  We use the napkin the whole day and then I just throw it in my washer at the end of the day. I probably have over 30 napkins LOL 

I used the PDDU cart for the pilgrim guy and lady.  Also the Indian boy and girl.  All were cut at 4"  I used my Peachy Keen stamps for the faces.  I'm going to have to get better about putting faces on.  I used some Ribbon the I had gotten from Wal-mart to tie around the gold napkings.  After putting the dolls together, I just took my ATG and glued them to the Ribbon.  When we go to eat they can untie the ribbon, used the napkin and will be able to take home there doll.  

Thanks Arin for the inspiration.

I'm entering this project in the Thanksgiving challenge over on My Craft Spot blog challenge.   http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com

thanks for taking a look Have a great week.  I forgot to say that the one Turkey is also from the PDDU cart also.


  Happy Thanksgiving

GOBBLE GOBBLE

The challenge this week for BBTB2 is to make a project with a Turkey



I decided to do a LO so I will the page ready for my pic on Thanksgiving day.  My sister-n-law is coming down from Illinois and we will be cooking for 2 days.  Larry is really looking forward to this, because every time he talks to her, he says that I'm starving him and He hasn't eaten since the last time she was here.  This has been the standing joke with her and my DH for the past few years.

The base paper that I used is from DCWV Autumn Splendor. Did I mention that I love this Stack?  The Turkey was cut from CAC.  The picture mat is for a 4x6 picture and the pattern paper is from DCWV Halloween and Fall paper stack. Happy Thanksgiving was cut from MS Seasonal Cake Art @ 2"  Thanks for looking and have a great night.

Remeber/Veterans

Hi, hope everyone had a great day.  I finally  got most of  my projects done or at least I have everything cut out and ready to go.  I have most of my calender pages done. Now i have to do the numbers and days of the week.

I'm trying to work on the challenges that I like to do.  This week on Lasting Memories LO Challenge http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com  the challenge was REMEBERANCE  DAY/ VETERENS DAY.
I have been working on this LO for about a year.  With the challenge I was able to pick it up again and finish it.  This is my Husband's brother. He was only a couple of years olders. The first page is all the memorials for the first 10 years after he was killed in Veitnam. The second page was a memorial that we had put in the paper. I had to read thru many letters and keepsakes that my mother-n-law had kept.  After she passed  in 2007 Larry and I went thru letters and books and envelopes with everything that she had kept over the years. Here is the finished LO. 

I used George Basics for the holders of all the memorials that were in the paper for each year. 
Thanks for taking a look.   He couragesly fought and died for our country so we could have the freedom that we enjoy.

Christmas Ornament.

Good evening  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Ours was absolutley beautiful.  Our temps were in the low 70's and sunny.  Now we are having rain and very windy.  Waiting for the cold front to arrive and temps bottoming out. Oh Well it is Nov already.

The ornaments that I did is on the front of the SU holiday catalog.  Brenda  Friends Crafting With Friends had made this ornament with a tutorial.  Check out her blog to see how this was done.  There is also a link for a video that  chicnscratch had done. Here is her blog if you would like to see how these were done.   http://www.mychicnscratch.com

My favorite one is the white one.  I used my cuddlebug embossing folder, Swiss Dots to emboss  the ornaments.  I also used yellow stickle on the dots to give it some sparkle. You can't really see it in the picture.  I used white tulle and white embrodery floss for the string to hang my ornament.  This would make a pretty bow for a wedding gift. Thanks for taking a look.

Hope everyone has a great week.

The middle is a button that I had in my stash.

Below are the 3 ornaments that I have made so far.

On the white one I omitted the rosette in the middle. I thought it looked just as good with out it. I think my tulle is still to long so I will be cutting that down some more.

Auntumn Spendor

This week's challenge for FCCB http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com  is to make a project with Leaves.  I had taken this picture of this beautiful tree that the leaves had turned burnt orange in between the trees that the leaves had not turned.  I had gotten the pattern paper from a fellow crafter. I thought this would be perfect for the picture and the challenge.  The title is from the Autunm Melody Stack from DCWV.  The leaves that  frame the picture were sized in the cricut craft room and cut from the Design Calender cart.

• Remember  all the ppl on the east coast that are getting hit yet again with a storm. Only this time it is snow.  Please be safe from the cold.

Christmas Ornament

Hope everyone had a great weekend and was able to get some crafting in.  Brenda over on Friends carfting with friends had done this ornament that origanlly was on the StampinUp Holiday catalog.  Also chicnscratch had a video on how to put this ornament together.  I read Brenda's instructions and watched  Angie's video.  I didn't have the stamps so I used my cricut to cut out the ornaments that I used for my Ornament.

I used Winter Frolic and Christmas Noel  The ornament from Winter frolic was cut @ 2.5"  I cut out 20.  Christmas Noel  ornament was cut@ 1.75" I also cut a total of 20 with this cart.  I used the first ornament on blackout feature key.  My papers that I used were from recollections I used red tulle.  I used the Rosette and Ribbon cart for the rosette in the middle.  The bling for in the middle is actually a Button that I had in my stash.  Its not perfect, but I'm proud of the way it came out.   Thanks for taking a look.
