I love this paper because it has some words written in color and it gave me a fun color palette.

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Boy do I love Fridays and today despite scattered showers we are experiencing unseasonably warm weather (70degrees)!!  Even last night for Halloween we had really warm weather for the boys to Trick or Treat.  Tomorrow will be warm too but Sunday we will be faced once again with the reality of the season – cold weather. Brrr….

All of the pieces to assemble for the card.

Welcome to my blog series, “Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder“. If you haven’t already, please read The Intervention so you can understand the inspiration for this craft adventure. I can not believe we have already reached my 10th post of this series.

Today I wanted to share a card I completed with the October kit. I love the aqua and golden colors I pulled from the card for my image when I colored her up with my Copics.

My second card completed from the October kit!

Well I am going to go continue plugging away because you know it’s already November 1st and my next kit will be at my doorstep.  Looks like this crafter needs to do some major catching up!

Have a blessed weekend!

Hello Everyone!!

Confession, I am not a big fan of baseball. I find it a bit slow for my taste. My sport is football.  But I do support our state teams and I know when to pause and witness a great moment in history. So I did watch the second half of the game. I loved seeing all the players run together to celebrate as soon as Koji Uehara delivered the pitch to strike out Matt Carpenter!  I can only imagine what joy this team felt after working so hard together all year.  It must have been amazing.

To see grown men jumping up and down, hugging each other and I am sure some tears is a great thing to witness.  I ran out this morning to get the newspaper so that I can include it in my scrapbook.

That said, I was up until 12:30am and am very tired with no new “Confessions” update.  But I will plug away today and tomorrow I will have something to share.

Oh and Happy Halloween!

Cute embellies!

Cute wooden embellishments from Michael's.

Cute wooden embellishments from Michael’s.

I thought I would share these cute embellishments I recently bought at Michael’s in the dollar bin.  They were $1.50 each but I think they were well worth it. They are made of wood and each initial is styled differently. I mean really look at the packaging – all of my favorite colors.  I can even use that colored cards on a project.  I am thinking I could use them in layouts, Project Life or even mini albums about my family. I bought the first letter for each of my family members.

I will be share to post a picture when I use them. In the meantime, I am just really pleased with this purchase.

Have a blessed day!

Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder…#9

Hello Everyone! Welcome to my blog series, “Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder“. If you haven’t already, please read The Intervention so you can understand the inspiration for this craft adventure.

My first card I created with the October kit.

I hope you had a great weekend! It’s getting colder here and I am starting to want to curl up with a nice blanket, cup of tea and a book even more. I am an avid tea drinker and this time of year, I tend to drink even more.

I have this great Mo Manning digi of a vintage stove that I have been wanting to color up. So I took some of the paper from the October kit and made a card.  I used my Silhouette to create the title and doily banner.  I thought the banner looked like a kitchen curtain.

Behind the card you can see my Silhouette Portrait. I bought it a few months back and I love it. I have only scratched the surface of all the functionality this wonderful machine can do. Having a blast learning.

I will be back later this week with more projects from my October kit.  I am looking forward to the challenge of using these papers this time around.

Have a blessed day!
