Let It Snow - Snowbunnybella!

I got a few new Bellas this week that I hope to share with you. This is Snowbunnybella. When I think of winter I always go for Soft Sky and Blue Bayou for my colors. I also added Basic Grey. I used my snowflake embossing folder and Cuttlebug for the background. My main image is colored with ink in the pad lids and an aqua painter. I used liquid applique on bella's boots and coat. I added glitter to the snowflakes and for the snow around her feet I used microbeads. I always forget to use those. Maybe it's because every time I do, I end up with 3 million beads on the floor! Happy hump day!

Caramel Apples

Carter and I just recently made caramel apples together for the first time. We had so much fun. The d.p. I used reminded me of "caramel apple colors" as soon as I bought it, so I knew that's what I'd use for this layout. Happy Tuesday!

ABC Book

As promised..a project to share with you. This is what I came up with for Cameron's kindergarten teacher for her Christmas gift. I started with a bitty board book and the Primary Colors Simply Scrappin' Kit. I covered the case and the book with the kit and decorated it. For the inside pages I used the ABC Images set to stamp an image for each letter of the alphabet per page. Then I am going to add a picture of each child in the class holding an object that starts with each letter of the alphabet. Then they can use the dry erase marker that I included to practice writing the letters on the page protectors. They can be wiped right off to be used again. This took a lot of time, so I hope she enjoys it, but I think she will.

Trick-Or-Treat

My brother, Kyle with his adorable girlfriend, Lauren and her daughter, Sienna. Aren't they cute!?


This weekend was trick-or-treat for the towns in the area. We didn't do a whole lot Saturday because it was cold and rainy. Today was alot of fun though. It was sunny and 50 degrees. Dustin and I took the boys with my mom, step-dad, and brother. Austin is "getting to old" to do much trick-or-treating (so he thinks). Cameron likes it, but hates to walk. Carter had a blast. He ran around like a crazy child. They are all going to sleep well! Hope everyone had a great weekend. I really hope to have something great to share with you tomorrow!

And The Winner Is....

....Courtney C. I had Dustin pick and number from 1-36 and he picked #9! Courtney, if you could get me your address, I'll get that blog candy out to you right away. I was never a big fan of dressing up for Halloween when I was a kid. I always did because my mom made me, but I didn't like it! I'll try to post a picture soon, but I wore this Raggedy Ann costume when I was 2. Looking back, it was adorable. I don't remember doing the princess thing, so maybe that's what I would choose now. And being the only girl in my house now- it would be fitting!! My favorite candy to receive would have to be Butterfinger. Sorry, I don't have any projects to share today. I've been so busy with the daycare kids this week. There's been no time for anything extra. Maybe tomorrow!

Snow Day

Finally...time to finish a layout. It's been a while and , boy, do I have a lot of catching up to do. This one is from last Valentine's Day whe we got a snow storm. School was cancelled had we had to be plowed out with a tractor. But it was fun to eat cookies and drink hot chocolate with the boys after an afternoon out in the cold!

Another reminder...just one more day until the blog candy winner is announced. Visit Tuesday's post for a chance to win!

Pookie Sketch

This cards is for today's SCS sketch challenge. I also used the colors for yesterday's color challenge. I used a Pookie image that I got from Ashley a while back. I colored him with Prismacolor pencils and Gamasol. I put glitter on parts of his hat and sweater. I used liquid applique on the ball of his hat and skates, also on the rabbit's tail. The Soft Sky panel was run through the Cuttlebug with the Snowflakes embossing folder. I added a pewter ice skate charm tied onto white organdy ribbon. I want to remind you to comment on the previous post for a chance at blog candy. Also, did you notice my new blog banner? Isn't it awesome!? Ashley has been playing around the past few days and came up with this one for me. What do you think?
