Simple Birthday card for Dad

Just wanted to share a quick masculine card I made yesterday when I realized I forgot to make my Dad a card and they were on their way over to have dinner & cake.
Yikes!
I used scraps and put it together in 15 minutes.

DT project Raggedy Tear Bears

Listed on my Ebay
I have seen some really cute Raggedy Ann & Andy piecings lately and had to take a shot at it.
I had to get creative here!
I used different pieces out of 3 pattern sets from Designs on Cloud 9, some ribbon, eyelet lace, some embroidery thread & mulberry paper & the acrylic Tear Bear pattern from The Beary Scrap.
I have to say I LOVE the results.
The different sets I used from Designs on Cloud 9 are....
I took the legs from the Witches Brew pattern set, the cap, bow (to make his bow tie) & shoes from the Fall Crows Pattern set, the brim of his hat and overall from the Fall Fun Pattern set.
Now that was a challenge, but a fun one. Hope you like them.

Disguise Tom Turkey

My daughter came home with this project "Disguise Tom Turkey" so he makes it through Thanksgiving. I myself have never done this or heard of this, so being the crafty Mom.... my daughter and I looked thru Designs on Cloud9's website and we decided it would be fun to disguise Tom as Elvis Presley (well she didn't even know who he was), but I told her that no one else would have the same Turkey as her & told her who he was... she agreed and this is what we came up with.... So funny!!!

Halloween Treat Bags for the Kids

I made these little cuties for my daughters class Halloween party.
I used the Ghost peeker & lollipop from Designs on Cloud 9's Booville Pattern set.
I got the little black paper bags from AC Moore & I had my daughter write Boo! on all of them.
Good for practicing her writing. (She is in 1st grade)
I also made these for her to give out. All the kids in the class are taking the 100 book challenge so I thought what a better thing for reading then a book mark. I designed them in MyMemories Suite Digital Software, personalized for each kid & used the .png file from Designs on Cloud 9's Bookworm set. I printed them all out, cut, laminated and finished them off with a little ribbon.
If you are interested in some Digital software, I have a $10 discount off of the already low price of $39.97 & $10 for some digital goodies. You get the software and $10 in goodies for just $29.97... just use my code on my side bar - top right (the picture will take you directly to where you need to purchase the software)

Project for the kids


Hi there, just wanted to share a little project I did with My Memories Suite Software and .png files from Design on Cloud 9.

I decided since the kids in my daughters class are all learning to read and have taken on the 100 book challenge that I would make them each their own personal book marks. So I designed them using the MyMemories software added the png from the Bookworm collection from Designs on Cloud 9, cut them. laminated them and added a ribbon to each & whala!!!

My Memories software can do more than just digital scrapbook pages. If your interested in purchasing your own software use my link & PROMO code at the upper right hand side of my blog. Software & $10 in digital goodies for only $29.97.
