Is this not the MOST ADORABLE little monster you ever did see? Yeah I think so too. I shot these the other day when we were having picture day at work. The lady went off to talk to the boss and since Reed was already climbing all over the table I sat him down and finished off the roll. You just gotta love him.

There has been a little helper in my room this weekend. He is getting so good with scissors. He is ahead of most of the kids in his class.
Another spooky Halloween card. I love love love this holiday! Paper Heidi Grace
I decided to try something new. So here is my very first matchbook card. Paper Junkitz, Flower and brad: Making Memories, Staples: Fastenator - Thank you I have decided that I need to figure out a way to incorporate his beautiful paintings into my pages or make him another mini book. He LOVES to get into my supplies. He is so creative. I can say with pride. HE GOT THAT FROM ME, LOL.
The rain has come WOOHOO. We need it. I have to think about getting ready to head out. Wish me luck!

Ever since I decided to go out for 2 design teams, I have tried to push myself to make atleast 1 project a day. Some days would just be ideas, but a lot has actually come to paper and look Marvelous![I'm not gonna throw in a Billy Crystal type reference here :) ] Well today is the day for the Design Team tryout at Scrapbook Factory. And these are a few things I will be taking with me. I hope they like them.
Around the picture it says. [Top] You are our... [Right] whole life [Left] Pride and joy [Bottom] Reed '06 *Paper: Basic Grey, Chipboard Letters: Scenic Route, Stickers: Wordsworth, Heart: Heidi Swapp, Paint: Making Memories*

I had SO much fun with this little box. I think you might be able to tell by the amount of glitter that is currently on the floor. :) *Paper: Heidi Grace, Ribbon: May Arts, Chipboard Accent: KI Memories, Box: Michael's*

I came across a similar box posted on 2peas. It seems they did something like this at the Creative Escape Retreat with Heidi Swapp. ( http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=1949630 )
I started this J back when I did that Altered Letter Swap with the Divas. I put the paper on and then it just sat on my table. Well I LOVE it now. And will hang it up when I get back today. *Paper:Basic Grey, Flowers: Heidi Swapp, Paint: Making Memories, Ink: Ranger, Ribbon & Book Plate: Unknown
I have a couple more things to share. Be back in a bit
~J~

I just got the letter yesterday. I have been asked to join Phi Theta Kappa at the college! I am pretty excited. Now Art is calling me "Nerdette". I have also joined the Visual Arts Club. I should have done all of this years ago, but oh well, no better time than now!
I am also preparing to go for a Design Team Tryout on Sunday. Wish me luck!!

The chill is in the air and I am feeling the Halloween urges already. lol. If you know me well, you know that All Hallow's Eve is my favorite holiday. I love the colors and the temperatures. I have started planning the Fall Festival at work which has also gotten me in the holiday cheer :) So since I got to come home early today (worked OT yesterday) I got to working and made this adorable Halloween bag. I think I will make them for Reed's class party.
Paper: AMM, Stamp: Stampendous, Ink: VersaColor, Ribbon: May Arts

Speaking of storms, check out this wall cloud that I shot while on my way home. I am just in awe of the size of it. You should have seen the looks I got when I pulled off the road and took this picture.

I made this card for my grandpa's birthday. I used KI Memories paper and a sweet quote from the PeaSoup on 2Peas.
I made this card for the Card Swap on Swappin' Divas. I got the idea from Paper Crafts magazine. They have the how-to on their website. Super easy and an Awesome Card. I used Making Memories paint(honeydew), Bat Mask : Heidi Swapp and ribbon from Michaels.
I did this one for my grandparent's wedding anniversary. This card is actually based off of one of the new Becky Fleck's sketches (www.pagemaps.com) The paper is Sweetwater (thanks to Tammy for turning me onto it!) and flowers are Primas. Just some ribbon I have laying around.

My grandparents live by a horse farm. So after the celebrations we took a walk to see all the beautiful animals. I love horses. My cousins call this beautiful Palimino, Surfer Dude. And I just loved the way the group picture looked. They started walking up to take cover from an upcoming storm.

This is one of my swaps at Swappin' Divas. A 12 Months Book. Each one of us does a month and then we swap them, to make a complete book. I can't wait to see everyones. Paper:Rusty Pickle, Cardstock: Bazzill.
I did this for my desk at work. After a major hunt for the right letters, I think it turned out wonderful. Letters are Rusty Pickle, Papers: Basic Grey, Flowers: Heidi Swapp, Ribbon: May Arts
I saw a similar clip in a magazine, and thought that this would be a great teacher gift. I got the clip from Oriental Trading. Papers are Karen Foster and Christina Cole ( I hope I spelled that right)

More to come!
