Decorate your Holidays Fall Class

Hi Everyone:

Crisp air, crisp apples and of course apple crisp.  Fall is a wonderful time of year. Anita here to remind you to sign up for my fall class which will be held on Thursday, September 26th from 1-2PM  The cost is $15.00 and we will be making two cards and a cute treat box.  We will be getting to play with Acorn Hollow from Little Yellow Bicycle and some wonderful Sizzix big dies that the store has in stock for you to use at any time.  This class will be after Cards and Coffee and will be a fun way to round out your card making day.  

Please bring your basic tool kit, scissors, adhesive, glue dots, foam tape and any of your go to tools.

Hugs,

Anita

Happy for You HOC Color Challenge

 

I can't believe that is really September already.  I made this card for a dear friend who was finally able to sell her home and move to a better place after four years.  I am so happy for her that things will be much easier for her now.  She is my best friend and means the world to me.  I hope that you have a chance to play along with the House of Cards color challenge.  This is my week and our team is doing classic and elegant cards, and they are gorgeous.

Sewing Projects

I realized that I have never shared any of my sewing projects on my blog so here are two of my favorite. The bib and Onesie set were published in Cricut Magazine and the towel so is for a dear friend's house warming. Thanks for looking.

My Guy

This layout made me so happy to make.  I adore my son, the way a mother does.  He is my gentle giant and I miss him so much now that he lives away from home.  Fortunately we get to see him two or three times a month.  This is the start of his birthday week.  His birthday is on Saturday and he is going to be 22.  I don't know where the time has gone.  He is engaged to be married after he graduates from engineering school at Northeastern University in the fall of 2015.  He is well on his way to a wonderful future and has a wonderful fiance.  I remember vividly waiting for his arrival and ironically he came right on his due date, and has been a pleasure and a treasure from day one.  What a good boy to come on his due date.  I love you with all my heart Sean and the young man you are warms my heart.  Have a great week and a wonderful birthday.

Now that I can see again after wiping the tears from my eyes, this layout is also for two challenges at two of my most favorite places on the web.  Paper Issues and The Twinery are working together this issue at Paper Issues and you can play along here.  I had fun stitching this heart and the two X's on this layout while watching tv with my hubby.  You can check out the X marks the spot challenge here at The Twinery and have until the end of the week to play along.  I had fun using Vintage Bella Blvd papers here.  So fun to dig deep in my Bella stash to find papers to match the photo.

Hugs,

You are so Loved

I made another entry for the Paper Issues current sketch challenge.  I made a card and made a quilt where the circles would be.  Thanks for looking and hope you have a chance to play along before the challenge ends. Paper Issues

Cardabilities Sketch #82

This is my last post of this term for Cardabilities.  I have loved being on the DT and wish all the returning and new ladies the best of luck.  Karan is amazing and her sketches are awesome.

Be sure to play along with the sketch at Cardabilities for a chance to be a featured designer.

Paper Issues Simple Scrapper Sketch

Alert the press, I used spritz and a mask on a project.  I have had these masks forever and never even opened the package.  I love this photo of my dear daughter who loves country music and got me to love it as much as she does.   We saw several country concerts this summer and had a ton of fun.  More country layouts to come.  Be sure to play along with Paper Issues for this awesome sketch challenge sponsored by Simple Scrapper.  Hugs,
