I discovered Stampin FluffnStuff not too long ago and have since been reading it and having a laugh or two. I have slowly gotten to read more and more about Faye and her fabulous cards. I really enjoy the way Faye writes and in my opinion, she should have considered a career in writing at some point in her life ;) So when she posted this candy with " a Fluffy twist " I knew I wanted to take part. If you've never visited her, go and get to know her too. It's always fun :) 1. How old is Sweet Cheeks?                    2 years old 2. What is the name of my Mum's Blog?                     It's an alien life http://itsanalienlife.blogspot.com/ 3. What are my favourite colours? (Clue; they're not what you might think they are!)         ...

I made this for my little nephew who is expected to arrive soon and is actually way past his due date. I would like this to be used for his first picture. I'm putting it in a scrapbook frame to keep the dust out and prevent any of those little pieces from falling off. I hope my sister in law likes it. I made most of the flowers myself using felt, tulle, paper, string, rhinestones and pearls. I cut the tigger out of a piece of fabric with scenes from the classic winnie the pooh. The frame on the central piece of paper is actually a woven ribbon glued on with glue lines :) I would like to enter this for the Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #73 Embellish it! I think this is very fitting, talk about embellishing, Lol! Happy Holidays, Everyone!

The photo inspiration for this week was so cute! I would have jumped on it to do a page about my dogs, but I had to make a giftcard holder for our secret santa at work and I was inspired by the photo's beautiful colors. I've been craving layers lately so I combined the two and this is what I came up with: The gift card is taped onto the ribbon so it can be pulled out easily. Oh, did I mention they are giving away a mitten weather mini deck on Tuesday to one lucky person? go play! So sad that   the paper variety will be off for 2 weeks :(  but I do hope the girls enjoy their vacation ;)

Last Friday I won candy from Karen at Chidscrafts http://www.chidscrafts.com/  she has really great tutorials and ideas at her blog. Go check it out, right now! ok, maybe right after the rest of this post... :) This is the very cute candy I got in the mail today, I was so excited!: I know my messy desk doesn't do it justice, it really is wonderful candy. I LOVE ribbon and these ribbons are so awesome and have so much texture. I have big plans for the chalk! I'm not sure what I'm going to make with the album yet...I'm thinking a heritage album about my childhood. Thanks so much Karen!

After my first easel card, I was hooked! I had to try again, so I made this baby shower card for my sister in law. I used the summer dream double sided stack from DCWV, it's on clearance, unfortunately (fortunately for you, if you find one!). It's beautiful! I hope they do another double sided stack soon :) I didn't use an envelope, I tied it with a few ribbons. I used a tutorial to learn how to make easel cards. Here's the link http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/easelcard/                School is over for now, and I'm so glad to get back to crafting! :)
