Christmas in my Hometown

Hi Everyone,

Today I took pictures of my Hometown decorated for Christmas.  The Decorations are from when I was a child and they are started using them a few years ago.  They are just great.  I remember these decorations from when I was small and can't believe they are using them again.  FYI-the tinsel strands contain matching lights in the same color as the tinsel which you may not see in these pictues since it is daylight.  Santa was located in the middle of the lights and there was always a long line and it was usually cold.  But worth the wait.  All of the sidewalks are lined with light strands also.  It was a beautiful day today and close to 60 degrees.  It has been in the 30's for the last two weeks.  Good day for a walk and for taking pictues.

This is a three person snowball fight.  The person in the middle lights up and switches sides and throws snowballs.  The white circles light up as snowballs.  Santa is the o top of the silver/white tower and is throwing down snowballs onto a elf below.

Steampunk Spells-Fall Mini Album Swap

Hi bloggers, I made a Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Halloween mini album for our Cricut swap. My exchange partner was Ms. Chewie. I followed the pocket mini album page tutorials by Ginger-My Sisters Scrapper and used the Hinge system by Kathy Orta. Love this pocket page mini album. I did take me about 24 hours to make. Here are the pics:

Cricut Fall Mini Swap 2013

Hi Everyone! My swap partner was Ms. Chewie. I just wanted to Thank Ms. Chewie for my Halloween Mini album and all of the terrific goodies! It looks like Ms. Chewie used the Recollections paper line of Haunted. Ms. Chewie used lots of bling, washi tape, sticks, bats and ghosts with googly eyes, and Tim Holtz Blue Print stamps with glitter. My favorite are the Tim Holtz blue print stamps and the stamp of the Gray Cat and the pumpkin at the end of the book. She also has Halloween pocket tags inside each page. I love them. Here are the pics.

 Hi Everyone! I wanted to share the recipe box and recipe card that I created for the Cricut Swap. This was a great swap hosted by Sis. Here are pictures of the recipe box I sent to Misawasan.

Card I made to go with the recipe box.  Used a tag from My Mind's Eye-All is Bright paperline 2013.

I bought a chipboard recipe box from Hobby Lobby for $3.99.  I used Martha Stewart Pearl Paint-Aquamarine to paint the recipe box.  I love this paint.  So glossy!   I used the paperline from My Mind's Eye-All is Bright 2013 for the entire recipe box and card.  I absolutely love this paper!  I edged all of the papers with Tim Holtz-Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I also used Tim Holtz Distress Stickles Dry Glitter-Clear Rock Candy on the white paper on the snowflakes.  I also added a blue glitter brad to the center of each snowflake.  I used the Swiss dots embossing folder on the snowmen  and Divine Swirls on the polar bears.  The recipe box is such a great Christmas present.  Hopefully I will have time to make a few for Christmas!  I hope you liked my project.  See you next time!  E-

Great Uncle Ernie's 92nd Birthday Card

Here is Uncle Ernie's 92nd Birthday Card!  I used Every Day Pop-Up Cards for the tractor.  I used Every Day Paper Dolls for the Sun and Clouds.  I inked the blue background, grass, clouds. sun and party banner with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Vintage Photo.  I used Martha Stewart fringe scissors to make the grass.  I added the Martha Stewart Party banner to the tractor.  The tractor was double pop dotted to go over the folded down grass.  To the front of the card I also added the wobbler mushroom and ladybug from Martha Stewart Gnomes and Woodland Stickers.On the inside of the card I added the tractor pop-up.  This was a much easier pop-up than the elephant was.  Only took a minute to figure out the pop up.  Thanks for stopping by and have a good day!  E
