October

Hello!

We're just a month away from October and all the activities that make it so special! October is the time to get outside and enjoy the cooler days before winter sets in. Time to visit the pumpkin patch and ride the train. Time to decorate the house with all our favorite Halloween treasures. Time for the State Fair. Time to simmer a pot of soup on the stove and bake pumpkin cupcakes. Time for Starbuck's to start selling their pumpkin spice lattes! I'll take a double, please! ;) Ah...autumn!

It's also my favorite time for fall crafts and scrapbook pages.


This is a hybrid page I created with a new digital kit at Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Lakehouse' by Chrissy W. I thought these rich warm colors were perfectly suited for fall pages...what do you think?


Looking through my photos, I realized that I never made a scrapbook page with our 2009 pics from Hillridge Farms. No time like the present!


I'm addicted to my Papertrey Ink 'Double Ended Banners' die!  They make the cutest little flags!


Along with a few other dies I used the Silhouette to create my 'October' title and the cool pumpkin in the upper right hand corner of the page.


Lastely, I finished things off with a scattering of 'Lost & Found' buttons by My Mind's Eye. Ta da! You like? I like! Look at that funny face! That's my boy, always making funny faces when the camera is pointed in his direction. Come to think of it...his dad does that too! I guess they never out grow it!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a super weekend! :) Kathy

Happy Birthday

Hello!

Friday once again....woot woot! What's happening with you and yours this weekend? I've been seeing lots of vacation and poolside photos in blog land already!

I'm getting a little visitor today! :) Maybe you were visiting my blog a few weeks ago when I told you I get to babysit my girlfriend's baby hedgehog for three weeks? Little Benny is coming to stay today!  I'm so excited!


Isn't Benny the cutest little guy?!?! While he's here with me, I'll let you know what we're doing. Hedgehogs love to cuddle up so I'll probably let him make a little nest in my shirt while I sit and read. Can you believe these little guys like to swim? Yep, they float on their backs! :) Maybe we'll have to have a little dip? ;)

Okay, I got side tracked talking about little Benny! I have a card to share with you today!


This is another hybrid project, using an awesome new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Summer Meadow' by Chrissy W.


Oh how I adore this tweet little bird accent from the kit! I framed the feathered critter with a couple Spellbinders die cuts and then added a craft string, tulle and button bow along with a rub on sentiment.


These leaf springs are another lovely accent that I printed directly onto my card stock. Then I printed a couple swatches of patterned paper to stitch to the card. Fun and easy!
