Halloween layout

I got the urge to do a digital layout today so I decided to do this layout of Kelsey at Halloween last fall.  I used staples for the first time on a digital layout.  All the digital elements are Designs by Krista from Trick or Treat Krista.

Tim Holtz Goodies

I still had some credit left over on a gift card that I got for Christmas so I went to Michaels today.  They had a lot of the Tim Holtz products on clearance so I snatched some ot them up.  I got some grungeboard, crackle paint, paint daubers, masks and a stamp set.  Now I can't wait to play with them!

Spooky Crew

I saw a layout in a magazine that I liked so I tried to re-create it. I wish that I could find it online to post on here but I couldn't. This layout is digital.  Here is my verson. 

Snow

So I've lost track of all the snow storms we have had and how many inches...it's seems like winter will never end. All I know is that the driveway needs cleared almost everyday and the snow is up past our knees.

I have this snowman on my front porch that holds a sign that says, "Let it snow!" so I decided it was time to bring him in! No more snow please!

Here he is thawing out in my kitchen sink then off to storage in the basement he goes.

Valentine Cookies

I made some heart shaped sugar cookies for Valentines Day. I had pretty much given up on making sugar cookies because I couldn't make them look pretty like you see in magazines. Then a couple of years ago I found this great recipe for sugar cookie icing that I love.  Corn syrup seems to be the secret ingredient. I can now finally make a pretty sugar cookie.  I am so excited!

Valentine Cards

I decided to make my own Valentine cards this year.  Since Zach is away at the Academy I'm trying to do some "special" things for him and the rest of my family.  I cut the cards out with my Wishblade and stamped and stickled them.  It was fun!

Played with PSE6 again today.

We took our annual trip to Lynd's Fruit Farm to pick apples. We have been going every year now for the last 15 years. I wanted to try using one of my photos for the backround paper. I had seen it done but had never tried it myself. I really like it.
