3D Pumpkin

I thought I would share with you today a little 3D Project I recently created for Two Scrapbook Friends. It was created with the Jillibean "Apple Cheddar Soup" Line.

I found this Pumpkin SVG file on SVG Cuts  if you click the link it shows you  a video tutorial on how the pupkin is created!  I had a blast making it... and for all those who are wondering what is inside... it is not nearly as interesting at the Recess Peanut Butter Cups in the Apples!  LOL!  It is only Rice... I noticed once I started to put the pupkin together that it was going to need a little weight for it to sit upright! 

Patterned Paper:  Jillibean Apple Cheddar Soup.  Cardstock is Bazzill, I embossed the leaf cut with my Cuttlebug and a cuttlebug embossing folder and added a little Kaiser Craft Bling to the centre of the flower!

TSF - Friendzy Friday - Colouring Chipboard Letters/Shapes

One of the projects I created with this last months kit was with the Jillibean "Apple Cheddar Soup"  Here is a layout I did of my Niece and I changed up some chipboard by inking it and applying glossy accents and I just love how it turned out!  Today I will show you the technique in the video below!

Products used are:  Jillibean "Apple Cheddar Soup" (Patterned Paper & sticker embelishments)  The Blossom Trim is by Websters Pages, I used a little Pure Poppy Ink from PTI on the chipboard letters and Dark Chocolate Ink on the Maya Road Chipboard Wheel barrel, The butterflies were created with 2 Martha Stewart Punches and I used some letter stickers from my stash for the rest of the title, all this is finished off with a little stiching using my Sewing machine!  

Here is a close up of how the Inked Chipboard turned out! 

I have created a little video tutorial to show you how I created the effect with the Chipboard Letters! 

I hope you enjoy! 

The Basic Instructions are as follows:

1. Tap the chipboard piece on the ink pad making sure that you cover the entire surface of the chipboard.
2. Let it dry completely
3. Apply a nice even coat of Glossy Accents and let it dry completely before attaching to the layout!



The challenge for this weeks LRW is to use twine on your project!  Here I created a little basket filled with mini apples! 

I used an SVG File I found on the My Favorite Things website. 

All products used are from the Jillibean "Apple Cheddar Soup"  I added a little felt leaves using a PTI Die and some buttons from my stash and a little twine and Ribbon.

It has been a Sad few days...

In Memory of Ginger...

This little fellow has been hanging around our house practically since we moved in 3 years ago... He has very quickly become a pal to both Wayne and I... while he would not ever let us touch him he would sit on our front porch... and let us talk to him... he would sit in the shop with Wayne while he was working and even just recently sat in the backyard with us while we ate our lunch!  He seemed to love the smell of hotdogs! 

He has unfortunately passed on a week ago and we just found him just yesterday.  He will always be rembered by both Wayne and I!  I am just so thankful that we were able to provide him with as comfortable of a life as we could for him... Wayne built him 2 heated cat houses for the winter and we were finally able to coax him up to the shop this past winter during the bad weather. He would quite often be found sleeping on the lawnmower in the shop here is sitting on the lawnmower!

Here he is just outside of one of his heated cat houses...

Ginger you will definately be missed! 

LRW-Challenge#97 - Use a Die Cut!

The challenge this week is to use a Die Cut!  Here I have used one of the punch out ones that comes along with the matching Patterned Paper from Simple Stories...  I pop dotted it off the card to give it a little more dimension!

TSF - September DT Reveal (Day 2)

 Since one of the patterned pieces of paper that I received was a bunch of 4 x 6 titles I decided to create a little mini album this month!  Pics are below!

I hope you enjoyed my reveal this month!  Make sure to check out the Two Scrapbook Friends Layout Gallery to see what the other members of DT Came up with!



TSF - September DT Reveal (Day 1)

I have decided to split my Reveal up into 2 days since I created a Mini Album as well which will be focused on my blog tomrrow! 

This layout was created about my trip to Cincinatti for the PTI Stamp A Faire!  I had a blast with my pals Dee and Regan and finally met Maria in person!

Here is a picture I took this summer with my Dad!  He drives limo on the side and knows all the perfect spots to take photos so he drove me around downtown at dusk one night and I got this shot! 

Thought I would make a card too! 

Make sure you come back tomorrow when I post photos of the Mini Albumn project I did!
