Halloween Cards!!!

Hi and So glad you could come by to visit. It's Halloween, The day when all the Ghost, Gobblins and Ghouls come out to play and who knows what else will be lurking around. 
It's raining here today in Indiana and going to have some severe weather later. Because of the weather they have changed the Trick or Treating to Saturday. Glad they decided to change it. Saturday we are suppose to get extremely cold weather. Hate when all the kids have to cover up their costumes with big heavy coats. 

I have been so busy that I had decided not to make my Grand Children Halloween Cards, until my Grand Daughter Scarlett seen a Halloween Stamp Set that I have and told me that's what she wanted on her Card. 

Did I have the heart to tell her that I wasn't making them cards this year. Ahh I don't think so, In their eyes I'm the best Grandma ever. I could never let them think other wise. Right!

For Walker's Card I knew I had to put a Cat on it. He Loves Cat's and he loves my Black Cat Nelson. So his card was pretty simple. Just laid a circle on white card stock. Sponged S.U. Going Grey Ink to look like clouds. Stamped a black cat. Wish I had embossed it. Oh well. and I made a fence using the Mini Monsters Cartridge and embossed it with a wood grain folder. 




For Scarlett's Card, I used the Stamp Set that she wanted. I got it at Hobby Lobby. Made by Hobby Lobby.  
Punched out a circle and laid it on top of the Cardstock and sponged inside the circle with Summer Sun and more mustard Inks. Also used Eggplant Envy, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Black and Close to Cocoa Inks. Wanted to girly it up a little so I added a Scallop Border and added some google eyes for fun.




















So there is my quick Cards that I made. Hope you have a Spook-tackular Day and come visit me again.   Cindy

Where's Fall???

Freezing! Freezing! Freezing! Fall is my favorite time of the year and I have waited a whole year to enjoy it again. Well where is it??? I would Love to know. It's going to be 30 degrees tonight and frost and a hard freeze tomorrow night and flurries.  I don't care for the cold weather of Winter and that's exactly what it feels like. I can't take it!  I just might do something drastic like scream. Oh, It's going to be a long Winter. Blah!!!!

To get my mind off of the ridiculously Cold weather. Let me share a Card with you that I made.


                                       


Just looking at this Card. It makes me feel a little warmer.  Not really, But I'm going to tell myself that anyway.
I made this Card using a Stamp Set from Stampin Up called Greenhouse Garden. The Happy Birthday stamp is from the S.U. Set called Well Scripted.
The white Cardstock was cut out using the Top Note Die and I embossed it with the Victoria Embossing Folder. 
I used Lavender Lace Ink on the flowers and added Dazzling Diamond Glitter to them. 

So glad you took the time to visit. Would love for you to come back. Stay warm my Crafty Friends. I think it's time for me to go get a hot cup of cocoa.    Bye, Cindy

Walker turns 8 and Winner of Blog Hop!

Hey, So glad that you could stop by , Hope you all are doing well.  My Grandson Walker turned Eight years old the other day. His Party was held yesterday and he had an Army Themed Birthday Party. He loves anything Military and has been saying that he was going to join since he was about 3 years old. A few years ago he told me again that he was going to be in the Army when he gets big. I told him that I really didn't want him to. He said Mamaw you don't understand. The Army saves the People,Trees and the Kitty's. I had to laugh. It was so Cute.
The whole front yard was made into (Boot Camp). Where all of the kids had to go through all kinds of opsticles. We also made Dog Tags for everyone to wear. They had a really good time. A real Army Soldier came to see him to. He Loved It. 

Thought I would share his Card that I made him. I made it using the Boys will be Boys Cartridge.

Cricut Crafts Blog Hop!!!

                                                                                

Hello and welcome to the   Cricut Crafts Blog Hop! So glad that you could make It! If you just happened to come by my Blog and would like to hop along. You can start at the beginning at  Jenny's (Crazy about Cricut) Blog.

I Love my Cricut and We (My Cricut Machine)and I was so excited to be a part of this Hop. I call my Cricut (Cricky Girl). Do you all have names for your Cricuts?

I made two Cards for this Hop. The First one is very special. I made it for my Grandma Sophie's 100th Birthday. She Loved her Card!



                                                     

Cricut Cartridges that I used-

Flowers- Paisley Cartridge
Leaves- Flower Shoppe
Banner- Can't remember
Number 100- Cricut Classic Font

 I adhered all of the tiny Blue Flowers with Crystal Effects on to 5 different sized circles. With foam tape in between each one. I also sponged each petal with Bashful Blue Ink.
After I cut the leaves,I wet them with a little water and scrunched them up. After they dried I sponged Old Olive Ink on them.


For my second Card- I made a Phone Shaped Card. I used the Wild Card 2 Cartridge. 
I added a second handle on top of the first one and added Foam Tape. I also added foam tape under the dial. 



                                                


                                                   

I thought it turned out Cute! I Love phones like this. They bring back a lot of memories for me. One of my Sister's still uses one of these. I Love using it when I visit her. 
  
 I have a little Giveaway for one person. Two Packages of k& Company Stickers. One Halloween and One Christmas.

Happy 100th Birthday!!

Hi, So glad you could stop by. I am a little late getting this posted, but I wanted to share with you all that my Grandma Sophie just celebrated her 100th Birthday. She is such a wonderful woman and has been such a great role model. She was so excited that they had a full page all about her in our home town paper. She had always said if I make it to 100, I would like my picture in the paper. So she was just tickled to have a whole page.

We had her a big Birthday party at her farm. Had the food catered so that no one would have to cook and some of the family played Blue Grass and Gospel Music. It was just a fun day.

So Thankful to God for blessing her with a long life. Thought I would share a few pictures of her party.



                                                                      
My Beautiful Grandma!

Mushroom Cards!

It's a little after noon and enjoying my time to myself. The Grand Kids are at School and my husband is at work. I'm sitting here watching QVC. Seriously I want to buy everything that they show. I also just started making some Vegetable Soup for Supper. So this will be a quick post.

Wanted to show you all some Cards that I just made. They are Cute little Mushroom Cards that I just made for my two Great Nieces Emmie and Audrie for their Birthday.



                                                                         

I used the Paisley Cricut Cartridge to make the Mushrooms. Their are so many cute Images on that Cart.
I also used the Stampin Up Embossing Folder (Cloudy Day). I love It!!!! (I have a thing for clouds).
And I also used the Martha Stewart Grass Punch.

These two Cards were Fun to make and Super easy.
Thank You all for stopping by. Hope you all are doing well and hope you come back to visit.

Stay Creative!!!  Cindy

Angry Bird Card

 Good morning Crafters! I just got the Grand Kids on the School Bus. I still can't believe that school has already started. It is kind of nice to have the house to my self and I get to watch T.V. No Cartoons! Whoo Hooo! Ya, I missed all of this alone time. 
 So since I have all of this time to my self. I thought I would share a picture of the Card that I just made. I made this for my little Great Nephew Landen for his birthday. 

                                               
                                                   


                                                       


I made him a Angry Birds Card. Now I had seen Angry Birds before. But when I sat down to make this card, my mind went blank and I could not remember what he looked like. So Thank Goodness my Grandson Walker was here. He told me what he looked like. Thank you Walker for helping Mamaw out.  This Card was made by paper piecing. Used Martha Stewart Circle Cutter, S.U. 1/2" Circle punch S.U. 1-3/8th Circle Punch, S.U. Word Window Punch, S.U. and word window punch, S.U. 1" Square Punch
S.U. Cloudy Day Embossing Folder 
Smile Stamp is from Creative Time (Cherish the Moment Stamp Set).

Here is a picture of the Inside. Used Cricut Craft Room Basics for the letters and number 6.

                                                
                                                     

                                                                                                                                                   
I think It turned out pretty Cute, (Thanks to Walker's help)!
