When you stop believing in Santa...

you get underwear! I found this stamp and it just made me laugh! I knew I had to make something with it, so I bought this printer's tray and dug out some old pics of my kids wearing the same Santa outfit and sitting on Santa's lap. Weren't they adorable?! And of course, I had to make some boxer shorts to put in one of the boxes! I think it turned out pretty cute!

Scrapping Up the Wall

I saw this idea in a magazine and thought it would be a neat way to display old family Christmas photos. I like it so much, I think I'll make new banners with generic paper and change out the pictures to leave up year round!

Have a Spooky Halloween!

I made this card using leftovers and scraps from the Basic Grey Eerie collection. I love this paper collection. I added some glitter ribbon I recently found at TJ Maxx. It's really pretty, but impossible to tie into a bow. I tried to add a little black stickles here and there, but it doesn't show up.

He's no Edward...

but he's pretty cute! I found this little guy in the dollar bin at JoAnn's. What can I say, I've got a thing for vampires!

The patterned paper is from Stampin' Up! and the Fangtastic stamp is from a CTMH set.

Whooooooo goes there?

I found this Halloween stamp set at Hobby Lobby for 40% off. The Halloween stamps didn't do much for me, but it had 2 cute little owls. I decided to make a Halloween themed card, but I'm looking forward to using the owls for lots of other projects!

If the Broom Fits....

This is a Halloween card I sent to my Mom in 2004. I just love this witch from an old Stampin' Up! set called Just For Fun. She reminds me of the witch on a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Does anyone remember her? She was trying to make Bugs into stew and everytime she ran off, hairpins were left floating in the air! 

On the inside of the card, I wrote "This witch wants to wish you a Happy Halloween!"

You're So "Vein"

This is a card we made a Christy Beck's Stampin' Up! stamp club. I got a little OCD when making the veins in my leaf. At first, I wanted them to go from the middle out so it would be more realistic, but it didn't look good. So then I tried to add more horizontal folds, but then I had too many. Sometimes I just overthink things, but it's still a pretty card! All the papers and stamps are from Stampin' Up!
