Apple Bushel and Caramel Apple Ghost

Hi my crafty friends!

Today I would like to share with you a couple of magnets that I made. 

This is a piecing file from Little Scraps of Heaven. See the link below.

 I first cut a silhouette of the whole basket with the apples in heavy black cardstock. I cut three of each of the apples and basket parts and glued them together so they would be thick.

 I pop dotted the apples and barrel pieces to give them definition. 

I  inked them with Tim Holtz distressed inks. Great inks!

 I added a few white dots with my gelly role pen and a red dotted bow.

 On the back I glued a strip of magnet so I could place them on my refrigerator.

They are really sturdy like cardboard. Great for on top of a gift box or on a card or even in a scrapbook.

Ideal gifts for someone special on your list.

The file is from Little Scraps from Heaven. 

Tricia has many darling piecing files available and if you sign up for

You can use these in so many of your creations.

That's it for another day my friend.

I wish you were all my neighbors, so we could enjoy crafting together.

 I have a LARGE craft room now and I'm so happy to be able to spread my wings.

I'm getting ready for Open House next month for all the ladies from the Clubhouse.

I'll be baking homemade cookies and breads.

Oh, did I tell you that I Love to bake too.....when I'm not crafting :)

Have a wonderful week!

Pumpkins Chickens and Bear's Oh My!

This is the Cat's meow!!

Hello my dear friends!

It's been in the 80's  in Apple Valley and still feels like summer here. I'm sure it will

soon begin to cool down though. I love this weather!

Today I have lots of special creations to share with you.

Up first is this adorable little cat in a pumpkin paper piecing.

Sweet little cat in a pumpkin from Ka Doodle Bug. 

See link below.

I cut out three of each piecing of heavy paper and glued them together to make the whole creation thick and sturdy.
 I then added pop dots to make him look 3D.

Great for a refrigerator magnet, on a card or in a scrapbook. I think he would look cute with a ribbon on the top, so you can hang him as a decoration. He would be a great addition on top of a special package.
I Love him!

 I used Tim Holtz distressed inks to add more dimension. Did I mention that I Love those inks!

I added some whiskers from my old broom 

Never throw out an old broom, you may need it for embellishments on your creations. LOL

 Isn't he the cutest little bear you've ever seen?

This cute little bear is also a piecing pattern from Ka Doodle Bug Designs.

Piecing means that each part of him needs to be glued together to create a finished creation.

It does take time with some of the very tiny piece like the leaf stems. I lost them two times and almost gave up and was ready to cut another set ,when I found them under my mouse pad......go figure. LOL

I'm forever loosing eyes, oh not mine hehe

This was one of Melissia's Freebies but is now in her store for only 2.00 dollars.

She looks great on my refrigerator!

Something to Crow about! Black Crow and Cuddly Owl Cards

Hello my friends!

Today I have these cute cuddly little friends to share with you. I made the crow into a cutout card with a green border. These adorable cuddly friends are from Mary's "Autumn Cuddly Friends" kit. See link below.

Here's a close up of the embossed hat and inking. 

 

This one I made into a cutout card with a silhouette base.

 This is Mary's cute Crow!

 

 

This is the Owl card that I made from the kit. I added the rhinestone eyes and a bow.

Here's the side view showing how the card looks opened. I cut two silhouettes that I made in Ecal software, one in white and one in brown for the base card. I glued those two together. I then cut a black shadow and glued that to the base. Then I put pop dots on each layer to give it dimension.

 

A really fun collection to make! Keep watching for more from this cute kit.

 

This is Mary's darling Owl.

Autumn "Leaves Are Falling" 3D Scarecrow

 Hello my friends!

Cool breezes and falling leaves are in the air. 

 It's that time of year again to start making your fall creations.

Boil up a cup of Hot Apple Cider and start crafting.

Yummy!

The Fall is so beautiful!

Today I made this adorable 3D Scarecrow from Mary's "Leaves Are Falling svg kit".

I added a little extra straw coming out of his neck. I think that real straw would look cool also. He 

measures approximately

He's so cute!

Fun and easy to assemble and  great for a centerpiece, decoration or a special gift.

Mary's darling Scarecrow.
