So the Steeler's lost! Boo hoo!

Well I am new to paper piecing as today being my first ever project! I just got Make the Cut this afternoon! I picked out this cute little clown bear from Treasure Box Design!

Even thought the Pittsburgh Steelers lost I made this cute little card!

Basket Treat Box

At KinderStampO's 34th birthday celebration she made these cute little Basket Treat Boxes. Her's she started out with a 6 by 6 piece of paper. I tried this size and thought it was to small so 1 used a 12 by 12 piece of paper!





Now to decorate I used my Peachy Keen Stamps! These stamps are so fun. I can't wait to get more!





And the best part is I won a set of LOVE stamps from Lauren at 40:31 Creations. OMG I love these stamps!!! Out of all the sets I've seen these are my favorite not to mention she is a Western New Yorker and so I am!!! (woo hoo shipping only takes a day!!!)

I admit I am a blog slacker! :)

I am such a slacker when it comes to putting stuff on my blog. I invite people here to check it out but yet they have nothing to look at! So today I figured I would add a few pictures!

My 11 year old Nathaniel has a girlfriend even though I am against it! They have been together since the beginning of the school year. The L word is already flowing freely between them.... and they call eachother lovebug! I am so not ready for this! If I had it my way he wouldn't date till he was 30! At Christmas time he wanted a present for her so I made this altered notebook and pen set for him to give to her... She loved it!



and this is the card I made her!

Gift Card Holder and Gift Bag

I made this gift card holder and gift bag for a challenge over at Staying Crafty. It was my first time using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More download I got with my new Gypsy last month! I had fun doing this project. Not to mention I'm entering it in this challenge over at Staying Crafty . She is giving away the new Winter Lace Cricut Cartridge which just happens to be the only 1 of the new cartridges that I really want!

6.You have until October 15th to get your cards to me!

She had some fabulous prizes to give away!

Well I set out to make atleast 50 cards by October 15th. Then Scrapbook Queen was then kind enough to extend the challenge to October 25th! I needed a new goal! Well I set my goal at 75! In the end I had made 80 cards!

I am so proud of myself. I am new to card making so I learned a ton of new things! But the best thing of all is I got to know Theresa The Scrapbooking Queen through this challenge. I put a smile on some ladies faces and I also made a new friend! Can't beat that!

This is a picture of all my cards! There are only 68 here total but in the end it ended up being 80 cards!
