I have not made anything like this before so I thought that I would try.  It is supper easy.  Here is my lantern.  I used Therese Halloween and autumn digi's to complete it all. You can find and buy her digi's HERE  I'm going to be making more of these.  Now i just need to find something to make for the kids Halloween at school.. If you have any suggestions that would be great!

Fire Chief for the Day

Happy hump day everyone! I hope you all are having a good day. The week is already half done!! YAY!!  Today was very special for my son Robbie.  He was chosen to be the "Fire Chief for the Day" One student from every school in Kelowna  was chose to be "fire Chief for the Day".  What happend when your "Fire Chief for the Day"?  Well his day started when he was picked up by the firetruck at our house.  They had all the lights and sirens on when they came. You should have seen his face!  (I had my camera but it was so cold my batteries shut down :(  )  They gave him a ride to school, they asked me if I would like to have a ride too but I had the daycare kids.  Wish I didn't because i would have loved to share it with him (not because of the HOT firefighters!!!  I know i shouldn't say that, but i couldn't help it! LOL )  Tonight we bring him to the main Fire Hall in town here, were he joins the firefighters for supper with McDonalds!!  Then they show him the fire hall... go through the equipment, and who knows what else!!  I will be posting pics of tonight tomorrow with my next project. I am so proud of him!!

Now on to my Card!!!  Therese the lead for paperfacesdesigns has some really, I mean REALLY cute digi's for fall and halloween.   This is a new image called 

autumn birds. You can find it here.  When you buy this digi stamp you will get another one with it called cat n dog nap.  Now i think that is a great deal.  Buy one and get another one with it!!   Tomorrow i will be back with my next project using Paperfacesdesigns.  I can't wait to show you!!  Don't forget I LOVE reading comments!!! Talk to you all tomorrow.

Materials Used:

Kraft (out of my stash)

the colored circles are made from CTMH cardstock i punched out.  

Chocolate Waxy Flax is also from CTMH

Autumn Birds from Paperfacesdesigns

Wow I'm finally finished updating!!

Wow... OK so this took a lot longer than i thought that it would.  I think that was because i couldn't make up my mind on what Template i would use! I would like to thank you all for putting up with me changing all the time. I hope that you all like my new look!  I was trying to go for Bright and cheery!!  Something to make me smile everyday! (I really need it right now)  Tomorrow i will have some more cards for you.  A thank you card that I am making my sister in-law.  Hope you come back to see again tomorrow!

Let's Ink it Up Challenge #3

Hello everyone, and I hope your all having a wonderful Thursday!!  I am because i get a 3 day weekend!!! YAY!!!  I had to create a card for my brother in-laws wedding this weekend so I decided to make one for a challenge!!  Lets Ink It Up is having their 3rd challenge, Use your favourite stamp plus a charm.   My favourite stamp right now is these Flourishes from CTMH.  I just love them.. they add such elegance to the card.  The charm i used is from a local store in town here.  It says "love"  Sorry i have been having issues lately with the light and taking pictures of my cards... there is usually too much light or not enough.  So that is why the pictures look a little funny. The scalloped cardstock is a greenish color ( Garden Green, i think!)

Now these pictures i took yesturday while i was sitting in my bedroom.  My hubby noticed that we had our little (well not so little) friend come by to say hi!!  He is so beautiful.  I wish the pictures would have turned out a little bit better.
