Wishing You a Very Happy Holiday
And by that I don't mean Halloween...which is tomorrow...feel free to go into panic mode if you're not quite ready for that yet! 
No, I'm talking about card #3 for my Pinterest Inspired Christmas card workshop. I think this is my favorite of the bunch! You can see the original inspiration here, and my version of it here:
I don't know what we'd do if we actually got this much snow.
But it gives me a peaceful feeling all the same.
Happy Wednesday!

Merry & Bright
Good morning! Chilly mornings means free A/C around here...though my boys all think it's too cold to have the doors open so early.But that also means hot cocoa if they're up early enough.
In my last post I shared one of the cards for my upcoming Pinterest inspired workshop. This is another one we'll be making that day. The original can be seen here.
Stamps: Merry and Bright
Inks: Ruby, Cashmere
Papers: Roxy Reflections Kit (retired), Ruby, Kraft, Colonial White cardstock
Accessories: Brown and Tan Sparkles, Almond Glitz Gel
Tools: Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge
My workshop is scheduled for Saturday, November 9 at my home from 12pm-4pm. The cost is $20 and we'll be making 12 cards, 2 of each 6 designs. If you're not local but would still like a kit, just send me an email and I'll get one set up for you!

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year...Christmas Card Making Time!
I know, Halloween is still over a week away. 
But I have succumbed to the crafters need to get Christmas cards started! (Because if I start them now, maybe I'll actually have some done to send on time!)
I've been busy creating cards from some really great Pinterest inspirations. And I think that's half the fun of Pinterest...seeing something and trying to recreate it with what you have! Here is the original, found at Stamped Silly.
I love the large snowflake...even though we rarely see it here in Tucson.
Here is my version:
I've made a set of coordinating cards for this year. I love the look of Kraft with the Ruby and Colonial White cardstocks! I'll be back soon with more cards to share from the set.

Artbooking Baby Album
Did you know it is Babywearing Week?
No, neither did I until about a month ago.
My friend is a part of Babywearing, International, Inc. and is a Babywearing Educator. That means she teaches people how to use wraps and carriers to...well, wear your baby.
Since my "baby" is almost 8, I never even knew this existed...aside from seeing her every Sunday with her little ones wrapped around her as she walked into church. I was quite envious of how her arms were free to use though. I always had arms full of boys and bags and car seats.
Anyway, their local group is having an auction and I contributed a basket of Close To My Heart goodies. I also made a new baby mini-album from the Artbooking Cricut cartridge and a framed layout.
I kept the colors neutral, as I don't know what beautiful baby photos the winner will add to it!
The baby album was heavily influenced by Pamela O'Conner. You can see photos of her album on her Cricut Craze Pinterest board!
This is the boys' last week of Fall Break. I'm a bit happy and a bit sad about that. When they get home from piano lessons we'll all have a quick lunch then head to the pool with some friends. One of the great things about living in Tucson...you can still swim in October!
