Super Salmon

I have been just dying to put this page together.  I must thank Lisa at PPPR for having the Super Hero Challenge to help jump start my project.

I used PPPR files for Superman, liquid shine for his belt and CTMH embellishments. I also added distress ink to the word Salmon to dirty it up.

So you must be wondering just how big it was???

Well, my daughter weighed in at 40 pounds and the King Salmon which my husband harvested out of the Kenai River weighed in at 51 pounds.

I am entering this in the PPPR Superhero Challenge: http://prettypaperprettyribbons.blogspot.com/p/pppr-monthy-challenge.html

Close To My Heart Consultant

Hello Everyone,

Well, I did it!!! I jumped right in and became a consultant for Close To My Heart. I received my kit a few weeks ago and just received my first order of supplies today. I am so looking forward to creating beautiful projects with all of my CTMH products and sharing them with everyone.  I have added my consultant shopping site on the side bar for those of you that just "have to have it".

I plan to spend some time this weekend making a few projects and posting them. I will list the recipe for the projects in case anyone is interested.

Happy Turkey Day and don't forget to GOBBLE TILL YOU WOBBLE!!!

Huge Thanks Turkey Treat

It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is this month. I had to run to the pet store today and found these amazing little treats and just had to get them. Of course I knew that I couldn't give them to our little dogs (Jack Russell and Yorkie) so I decided to give them as a gift to a friend of mine who is always doing things for me. In our home we love our animals and they are family to us. We have always had dogs and I couldn't imagine life without them although on occasion I have thought about it when cleaning up the aftermath of a dog who had gotten into the chocolate candy bars.

I wanted to add a Thanksgiving stamp but alas I have none. Not yet anyway. You see I just got the stamping bug and I'm building my supply slowly.  I dug through my stash and found a stamp that would work perfect in a set called Fish On from Jaded Blossom. This is one of the first stamps sets I purchased. The turkey is from Turkey Time an SVG Cutting File.

I am entering this project in the following challenges:

Mini Me Designs a Card

My daughter (mini-me), age 7, has developed a love for scrapping just like her mother. Her dad comments that this hobby is taking away from their hunting time. I have explained to both of them that hunting is great and gives us memories (and pictures) to scrap. 

Well, she has seen how I love to make cards and post them and recently asked me to post a card for her so that we could enter it in challenges. We made our criss-cross cards side-by-side, I did the sewing and cut the designs on my cameo. She is an expert on the Cricut Expression II but I have not given her the reins on the Silhouette just yet. She glued all the pieces and added all the extra bling. Did I mention bling??? Well, she loves it!!! I love her enough to let her imagination soar.

I now present "our" Fall card which we will be entering in the following challenges:

Fall Criss-Cross Card

I have been seeing these cards all over the web and decided I must make one. I went to YouTube and reviewed several videos until I found one the I could follow easy.  There are so many out there.

When I think of Fall, I think of yummy caramel apples. This treat was the inspiration for my card.  I dug into my stash of paper and found this beautiful paper that I picked up a few years ago and thought it was just too nice to use. It is from "imaginisce" fall collection. Love, love, love this paper.

The svg cuts are from PPPR and Miss Kate Cuttables. I added some doodles, buttons, twine and ribbon to make it pop. I really like the way it turned out. Now if I could just part with it.

Cascading Fall Card

I have seen several of the cards on the web and decided to take a stab at it. Wow, very time consuming to build. I became frustrated several time but finally after having to take several time outs, I was ready to decorate my card.

I used PPPR Apple Picking Cutting Files here http://www.prettypapergraphics.com/item_121/Apple-Picking-Cutting-Files.htm

I added some doodles, twine, ribbon and buttons to make it pop.
