CA Wednesday...

Helloooooo.....

Today was a CA Wednesday!  Yay!  I really look forward to this day every week.  Crafting with my gals.  :)
Melissa got out of here without me getting any pic of her projects, so I just have Ann's and mine.  And well, if you saw my first post, you already know what I made ;).  But I also got started on my BOO letters (which are not done yet, so I will post pics of them tomorrow).  Super cute.

Melissa brought over a idea to share which was making gift bags out of envelopes.  Super fast and easy for when you are in a hurry and need a gift bag.  :)  (Which happens to me all the time.)  Here is a Heroarts link to a Youtube video I found that is what she showed us.  :)  Here is my attempt:

Yep, this is just an envelope with a little
bit of watermark stamped on it. :)

Here are Ann's cards...(WWAD?  LOL)

Using different color embossing
powders.  

These are 3" note cards.  

This card was inspired by:
kwernerdesign blog
Super Cute!

And here again is my box for the Halloween Box Challenge from my previous post here:

Once again we had a wonderful time.  Lot's of laughter and singing (you rock it girls)  LOL!  

Until next Wednesday (at Ann's house!)

Halloween Gift Box Challenge...

Hello crafty friends!

Today  (if it isn't too late?) I am entering this box into the Halloween Gift Box Challenge over at Happy Life, Crafty Wife blog that she is hosting with Lori Whitlock.  Better late than never I always say.  LOL!

Oh well, if I didn't make it I still have a really cute box for Halloween...LOL!

More on CA Wednesday coming up...stay tuned.  :)

Today I am sharing a card that I put together for a very good friend of ours birthday.  :)  We surprised her and took her to Red Hawk Casino to play penny slots, here favorite.  LOL  It was a blast.  I even came home with a little more than I brought there ;).  hehe  

I really love this paper pack by
DCWV Latte

CA Wednesday...

Hello my wonderful crafty friends!

As you know my wonderful friends and I have been trying to meet on Wednesdays (so far so good) to have a day full of crafty fun and this Wednesday was no exception.  We had been having a really hard week in our personal lives and this was a GREAT way to chat and have a little crafty therapy session.  :)

We didn't really have a theme this week, mostly we just worked on whatever holiday we wanted and used whatever new items we had received during the week, ahem - The {Stamps} of Life new release stamps we got Tuesday.  Yay!  Love this new set Penquins4Christmas.  Super cute.  Go check it out.  :)

Here are some of the wonderful cards we made...and I will try to let you know products that were used, if I know them.  :)

Melissa was our wonderful hostess this week, (darn, I mean *M) haha.  So I will start with her ~ Melissa gets her inspiration from The {Stamps} of Life Gallery.  There are a lot of fabulous cards over there, you should check it out.  :)

Here are mine ~ 

Using the penguins4Christmas, I masked off his face
and used the pumpkin face pieces and bats from Thanks2Fall.
Trick or Treat is from spooky2scare.  Ann had
this super tiny little spider stamp that I used for his bowtie.  :)

Here I made a puffy spider with glitter paper.  I was
inspired by Tamara at
happy life crafty wife.  I thought it would
be perfect if it was gathering candy corn (instead of nasty bugs) hehe
The stamp sets used here are
web4us, spooky2scare and thanks2fall

Here is used thanks2fall stamp set

And a little bonus ~ from our young crafty girl Kaitlyn, who made this card for her teacher:

kids2love, extras4kids and type4background
Stinking cute, right?
This has inspired me to start and Auntie's Corner on my blog (when I have a chance to get it rolling) to post projects that my nieces do.  They are really talented young ladies.  :)  

Whew, this was a long one.  I hope you enjoyed looking at the pics.  :)  We sure had a really GREAT time and forgot about our problems for a while.  :)
