OOPS,, I HAVE A CORRECTION TO THIS POST. KATE ACTUALY MADE THIS. KATE, I AM SOO SORRY. I GUESS I GOT CONFUSED. IT DOESNT" TAKE MUCH.. LOL.

Michele, oops I mean Kate sent this over.. THis is hysterical. She says "

I HATE snow, but one of my dearest friends just loves it. She has snowflake everything - snowflake towels, snowflake dishes, snowflake utensils, snowflake socks that she wears year-round, etc., etc.! Whenever it snows, we blame her - and she's always swamped with "angry" calls during the first snowfall of the year. I decided to make her a "threatening" card to drop at her house when the snow starts to fall this year. I know she'll get a huge kick out of this. I used Winter Frolic for the snowman and all his accessories, which I glittered. I used Design Studio to turn his smile into a frown. The snowy mountains were cut with Zooballoo and run through the Cuttlebug, using a snow folder and a little butterfly folder (using only the little dots for the peaks). The tree was cut from Christmas Cheer and I computer generated the sentiment. I also added some little beads.

WOW's by Carri, Jean and Celeste

Since I live in Arizona it seems to always be hot! So my favorite weather is the first week of December it is usually between 65 and 70 degrees! It is when we decorate our palm trees with Christmas lights

I used Simply Charmed for the title and scarecrows on this layout. I used some glitter pens, googly eyes, mini buttons and a little flower gem to spruce up the little scarecrows a bit. I think they turned out super cute. I hand cut both layers of the mats for the photos. (I had already turned the Gypsy and Cricut off, so I just decided to measure them out and cut them myself. Old School Style you know, lol) I also used some leaf flat back buttons to embellish the photo areas. The background paper on this one came from a paperstack called vintage solids. The leaf paper that I used as the photo mat base came from a set of autumn papers that came from the Target $1 area. I love this Simply Charmed cart, because it has really cute cuts for basically every season.

This time of year is big for me and my hubby and our children, HUNTING SEASON. Even though our little ones are still very little we include them in on everything we do. I know, some people don't like it or may look down on it; but it is a time for us to be together and enjoy the outdoors as a family. I also like it because we're able to put meat in our freezer. So I thought I would make a card for our hunting season. The card also has a second use - I forgot about Grandparent's Day (OOPS!!) so I made this one for my in-laws. We go hunting with them, so I thought they might like it (that's where the 'oh deer' comes in).

WOW WEEK, Day 4

Here is a gorgeous card for our Weather challenge from our friend at hogwildaboutstamping.blogspot.com. She says "yes, winter is my favorite time of year! I love it when we get snow, but unfortunately we don't get very much of it where I live. Maybe that's why I like it so much? I had asked her if the snowflake was croched and she said " I crocheted a ton of different snowflakes during a heat wave we had last month in an effort to make myself feel cooler! Told you I love snow! LOL!"

WOW Week - Day Two

Hello everyone. For WOW week, I dug deep in my stash. I made this page a long time ago. I could have used this page for Old School week as well. Everything on this page is StampinUP! My friend Susan (fellow blogger) held a class that was 12 scrapbooking pages. I was soo new to scrapbooking.

This was definately a pre-cricut page. Everything is stamped, or just cut out by hand. The back ground of the paper is stamped. Not patterend paper, StampingUP cardstock, which is a scrappers must have!!

I do love the colors and the final project. I am going to have to get busy using these pages and takes some family fall pictures this season. Fall in New England is beautiful.
