Little Fall Favors

While at Walmart the other day, I saw these cute Hershey Caramel Apple candies.  I purchased a bag, not sure what I was going to do with them.  But then I decided to use Stampin' Up's 2x8 cellophane bags to make a favor that would show the little apple shape and the gold leaves imprinted on the apple's foil.  I wrote "Happy Fall" using the Cricut and then die cut little tags using the Wood Crate framelits.  After sponging the edges, the tags were tied on using the red ribbon.  Now is when I wish I had some burlap ribbon!  That would be really perfect for a Fall favor.  I cut the bags down since I was only putting two candies in each cello bag.  I have been using quite a bit of brown and orange the last couple of weeks, so it was fun to use red for a change.  The chocolates inside are shaped like little apples~~very cute!  Have a great day!

Cricut Thanksgiving Cards

The Cricut keeps calling my name.  I see an image someone used for a sign or a card and I have to try cutting that image or saying.  Yesterday I was browsing through the Fall/Thanksgiving images that are available in the Cricut Design Software and those on today's cards caught my eye.   The "H" is a little lower than the rest of happy, but if I tried to fix it, I would mess up the whole card.  So, I will have to send this to someone who most probably will not notice~~I hope!  The second card took very little time to create and it is a pretty Thanksgiving card.  I can't believe that I haven't finished my Halloween cards and I am making Thanksgiving cards!  Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Two More!

In my post last week, I mentioned that I would be making a couple more cards using the Stylish Stems framelits and here they are. The black and white card needs no explanation~~die cut the daisy and adhere the negative space on the white card stock.  The sentiment can be anything you want it to be, but birthday cards are always needed.  The yellow card took a little more work.  After die cutting the flower, I placed the negative space against the white cardstock and then placed the petals and leaves back into the negative spaces adhering each piece.  When I carefully removed the negative space, the petals and leaves stayed on the white cardstock for a perfect daisy.   Have a great day!

Hurricane Irma

Happy birthday, Matthew!  A few weeks ago, our son drove to Bowling Green, Kentucky to meet a dog rescue transport from Georgia. The dogs were from a shelter in Georgia that was in the path of Hurricane Irma in Florida.  If a number of rescue groups had not taken the dogs, these dogs would have been euthanized.  Matt had seven dogs which he (with Pat, also from HWMR) then drove from Bowling Green to the Hoof Woof Meow Rescue in Gilberts, IL.   Thanks to his volunteer drive, I have a new grandpuppy~~Irma.  She is the prettiest girl and very loving.  Sydney drew the charcoal and colored pencil drawing of Irma for Matt's birthday present.  Sydney is so talented and needless to say, I am a very proud Grandma~~of both Sydney and Irma!!  Have a great day!
