Bo Bunny Love

I decided to show some Bo Bunny love this week by doing 2 challenges from the Bo Bunny Blog.  First up is their Layout Challenge:

And next up is the challenge to do a LO and scrap yourself.  So using some of my Bo Bunny stash, here's my creation:

I usually don't scrap myself, but once I got going it was really fun.  My patterned papers are all Bo Bunny.  Pom Pom ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon.  And cute little tag boxes are Elle's Studio.

It seems like every picture I take, my hair is a different length and a different shade of blonde, lol!  Ah, isn't it fun to be a girl??? 

Now a little reminder:

Fun Fun Fun.  And a great prize, you'll have to wait till Saturday to find out.  Plus on Saturday I'm also participating in the Scrapbooking Supplies R Us - Sampler Blog Hop.  There will be a total of 16 prizes that includes 5 full kits. 

Enjoy!!!

Christmas Time Already???

This is sure to be a busy month...Lots of crafting deadlines, Thanksgiving, a vacation (yippee), and plenty of Christmas shopping.  November always makes me reflect on all I have to be thankful for, which is a long list.  God has been VERY good to me!  I think I'm most thankful that He has blessed me with a simple life.  I thrive on farm life.  Love every second of it, even though some aren't easy.  We lost my little duck Cornbread this week, not easy!  But it's a comfort to know he had the best life possible while he was here.  I'm sure there aren't many ducks who have a skillet of cornbread made for them each nite.  Living on a farm, you learn to give and take, but I wouldn't change things for the world. 

I love this picture of my goats.  They are so happy and carefree.  That's how we all should be.  My little goat Cinnamon (in the front) almost died TWICE this year!  We've started saying she has 9 lives!  I'm very thankful she's still with us and as happy as ever. 

And I have a new Winter Goal.  I want to learn to sew.  I'm a crafty person, why do I destroy every sewing machine I look at?  There are so many fabulous sewing blogs and I REALLY want to learn.  Check out Cluck.Cluck. Sew.  Too cute!




So wish me luck, I'll need it. 

2 Sketches 4 You Challenge

Hi all....decided to play along with this week's challenge at 2 Sketches 4 You.  Here's the sketch:

And here is my take on the sketch:

I used Basic Grey patterned paper, my Fiskars punch, and Papertrey Ink stamp.  My bling, ric rac, and leaf are all from Creative Charms Kit of the Month - Fabulous Fall.  Love all the goodies included in this kit!

Now I want to introduce you to the newest member of the barn yard, Brisco:

Is he not the cutest little guy in the world???  He is a Great Pyrenees and our "goat dog in training".  Boots our older GP is so happy to have a puppy all of her own!  Brisco weighed in at 20 lbs at his 9 week vet visit.  He's going to be a BIG BOY!

I love lazy days.  Sure there's LOTS I "should" have been doing, but I wanted to craft my day away...so I did!  I've got 2 cards to share that I made for challenges. 

First up is a card I made using this week's sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You:

And I was inspired by this picture at The Shabby Tea Room:

And here is my card:

I've been so excited to use my Kitsy Kitchen products from Melissa Frances, and this was the perfect chance!  My cardstock is Papertrey Ink and Prism.  My patterned papers, stickers, and rub on is Melissa Frances.  I used Mays Art Ribbon.  And my fab little crochet flower is from Creative Charms.  I added some faux stitches and this card was complete.

I also added this card to A Spoon Full Of Sugar's Embellishment Challenge.

And here is my card:

Sweet November

Hi all!  Can't believe November is already here.  Christmas shopping, ugh!  Dread it.  Hope everyone had a great time Trick Or Treating.  I had to work all weekend, so the little goblins didn't get any treats at my house!  They did insist on dressing me up at work, of course I had to be a vampire:

Oops!  Forgot to take the stethescope from around my neck, hehe.  We love tricks and treats at work, so we have fun during October. 

Here's a little BOO card I made:

And here is an Autumn LO:

Both creations were made using my October Sampler Kit from Scrapbooking Supplies R Us.  I just love that their kits include goodies for both card makers and scrappers.  For my LO I decided to use my much neglected circle punch and experiment.  These are just a few pictures of Autumn at my house.
