Sites of the week

Greetings on New Moon release day! While I am a fan, I have to admit that I probably won’t be able to see the movie until next week at the earliest because of this and that going on today and this weekend…including COPIC CLASSES at Scrapper’s Boutique. Maybe I will see you there!

So, are you hopping along? If so, you should have arrived here from Pam’s blog and when you leave here, hop on over to Dani’s blog. If you happened here on a whim, you can see the hop from the beginning from the Twilight Tuesday blog.

My Twilight inspired stamp set didn’t arrive in time for me to use it for this hop, so I fell back upon my handy Slice Machine and used the Spook Alley design card to make this card…

Detail Shot…

The houndstooth paper is from Jenni Bowlin and the apple note card is from a die cut sheet from October Afternoon. I wanted to incorporate the apple somehow because it is the Twilight series after all. I also wanted to incorporate a moon into the card because of the “New Moon” release today. I know my moon isn’t a new moon technically {for anyone that wanted to correct me}, but at least you can tell this is a moon.

Alright ladies, it’s time for you to keep on hopping over to Dani’s blog to see what Twilight goodness she has for you!

Anyone else getting chilled by the cool air that is rolling in with Autumn? I can’t decide to love it or hate it. On the one hand it’s nice not to be pregnant and sweating bullets, but on the other hand I just don’t like cold weather. I think I have mentioned before that I could wear flip flops year round…if the TX weather would allow, that is! I think for now I will hate to love it…LOL!

Over the past few months, I have done a couple GLUE box projects. You can see them HERE. This month I have a Thanksgiving box to show…

As you can see, I got out the Slice machine {again!!}, the Think Pink card to be exact…

One more shot…

I’m gonna make this post short and sweet, as I have a lot to get crackin’ on! Including a Twilight Blog Hop {click the link to find out more}…

A couple weeks ago I showed you THIS card from a new stamp company called YOUR NEXT STAMP. Today I have a sketch, as well as another card to show you featuring stamps from them PLUS…a chance to win a $10 to the YNS store!

Let’s get started! Here’s the sketch…

Here’s my sample using the Fhiona with Friend Penguin rubber stamp, plus a Limited Edition digi sentiment {one of the digis is even named Ellie…gotta LOVE that!!}…

This month’s Designer of the Month, Amy White, has a beautiful floral card to share…

Anyone else hoping to get all their holiday shopping done by Thanksgiving? Usually, I like the hustle and bustle of the holidays. The thought of having to fight for my own space while being preggers makes me want to vomit! How’s that for holiday spirit?! LOL! Of course, this downer comes after the airport last weekend…

We got in about 11pm and Tony took Ellie to get the car {believe me, that was the bigger hassle of the two} and I went to go get the luggage. I left with 2 bags and came home with 6 {5 if you count the backpack that Tony had on him}…thanks to Tony’s shopping and very generous baby shower gifts! I knew that I could wait inside, but decided to make it to the curb so Tony would not have to park, unload Ellie and come find me. I had 2 rolling bags, 2 shopping bags and my purse {believe me, it’s a bag!!}. I put the 2 shopping bags on top of the 2 rolling bags and started to make my way out. Well, one of the shopping bags kept falling, the handles ripped, etc. It was more of a pain than it was probably worth, but I wanted to get to the curb. Would you believe that not one person helped a pregnant lady at now darn near 11:30pm until I was almost outside and the bag fell off again? Plenty of people looked, but no one helped. As someone that keeps the door open for someone behind me, etc., I found this to be quite rude. Yea, I know that I shouldn’t expect help but it sure as hell would have been nice to see a little human decency.

So enough of my blah, blah, blah and onto my stampin’ stuff! These project feature more The Cat’s Pajamas new release from this week. The first is a card that uses a combo of stamping, cutting, punching and {Slice machine} die cuts to create a very 3 dimensional card…

A couple of detail shots…

I embossed the small snowflakes with a transparent pearl embossing powder {Stampendous} and then punched them out with a small circle punch to create ornaments for the tree…

This next recipe card project was a lot of fun to make using the new TCP Glitzy glitter and Coolvetica alpha…

Detail shot…

Just wanted to let everyone know that the November Project Parade has started over on the Verve Stamps blog. As always, I am kicking it off and have a fun {and super affordable} project…

If you want to play along with this month’s theme, “Home for the Holidays: Gifts, Decor and More” you could have the chance to win some moulah to spend in Verve store. The Project Parade runs from today through the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. We’re hoping to inspire some holiday magic in everyone!
