A couple quick fall cards and a big THANK YOU!

Summer here has been crazy busy.  I am ready for fall to slow things down a bit.  I got out to the craft room today (but only for a few minutes) to get a "crafting fix" and made a couple quick fall cards.  I used Straight from the nest for the words and a Martha Stewart punch for the leaves.  The leaves on the first one are on pop dots holding the front of the card closed (matchbook style).  Paper and buttons are SU.

On another note....I want to give a big THANK YOU to Yolie for the blog candy I won.  It was the first time I've ever won any and it was so exciting!  It was for her 800 follower celebration, she has over 800 followers because her blog is FABULOUS!  Please hop over and visit her site at  www.justyolie.com for some great ideas, blog hops, and giveaways.  I'm working on a scrap page using my winnings so hopefully I will have that posted soon.

Anticipation scrap page

Just a quick page to share today, this is my boys cleaning the dog crate.    I found it last week at a garage sale for $5 and picked it up for "someday".  The boys spent hours cleaning it, they are counting down until they can get a puppy (when our new house is finished).  Patterned paper is DCWV.  Thanks for looking!

JUMP scrap page

This LO was scraplifted from an expired sketchy Thursdays challenge, the paper is Cosmo Cricket and Stampin up, the jumping frog is from Paper Dolls cart (its the frog from the witches cauldron), ribbon and punch are Stampin up.  Thanks for looking!

Sending you Sunshine doodlecharms card

Here is a quick doodlecharms card - the sun is cut at 3.5 inches.  The paper is from the DCWV citrus stack and Stampin UP!  Stamps are from KAndrews (splash-tastic).  The border punch is Martha, and the button is from Queen & Co.    Thanks for looking!

Lifes a Beach glitter window card

SPARKLY!

I love the card feature you can find on some of the carts because they are perfect for glitter windows.  The cards on this cart are square so I used DS to eliminate the outside cut and then trimmed on my paper cutter to be a standard A2 card front.  I also cut the fish out "regular" so that I could layer them in different colors.  It would be so nice if when PC made these they would post a sizing guide for layering, such as if cutting 4'' card function, then use 2'' for layering.  There only is one of my carts I have found that is easy to do that with (I want to say zoobaloo), but the others you really have to use DS or gypsy.  The paper is from the citrus stack (DCWV) and the stamp is from KAndrews (Splash-tastic).   Thanks for looking!

Hydrangea and center step cards

Just a couple cards to share today.  First is a hydrangea card I made my Aunt, the flower is an svg which can be purchased HERE.  The second card is a center step card, no cricut on this one.  I went to my friends today and she had one of these center step cards in her craft room, I loved it and had to come home and make one.  Mine didn't come out as nice as hers, but I still love the idea and will be making more of these.   The instructions can be found HERE .    Thanks for looking!

This weeks craft project : a picnic table

Just wanted to share this weeks project, DH and I made a picnic table!  I just finished the first coat of stain/sealer.  One more coat and then it will move over to the land so we can enjoy sit and watch them build  our home.    I got the instructions here.  It took us about 2 hours to cut and assemble, and about $40 in wood/screws/nuts and bolts, and then I'm using sealer I found in my dads shop.Pretty cool, huh?
