It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Well the holidays are in motion at my house, I have started to pull out decorations and lights, I am sewing some wonderful projects and I have got out some festive scrappy goodness. This month at core-dinations we are gearing up for Christmas I am am a classic red and green kinda girl so I did this layout, I have such a soft spot for a chubby baby in a Santa hat.

One of the other Core girls Ellen made this incredible creation which I SOOOOOOO love and will have to make one for myself and darn I may have to go to Starbucks and order a caramel brule latte :) . Really go and check it out.

Happy Holidays every one, and like I saw on a festive mug the other day, Let the stress begin.

Products used Core-dinations Cardstock,Pattern paper by Jillibean soup, buttons bling and bow by Queen n Co and Alphas by My litte Shoebox. Other Cuttlebug Embossing folder (love this stripe)

Thanksgiving Goodness

Wow what a weekend, the long holiday was wonderful, we had perfect fall weather and some seriously great food. I had the pleasure of going to my hubby's sisters for the traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey potatoes, stuffing gravy and the works. Then it was my turn to host for my side of the family. I got a little crafty and created a table menu, some napkin rings and the place cards for my table. They are all made from Core-dinations cardstock and the sanding lent the perfect amount of fall rustic to my table.Here is a closer look at some of the items. The napkin rings were super fast and easy I just cut bands of cardstock, used my fiskars punch on both sides, then covered the seams with ribbon and a button. For the menu I used my fiskars texture plate, I love this viney pumpkin texture. I hope your Canadian Thanksgivings were filled with fun food and family and for my American friends I look forward to seeing your tables next month.Products used, Core-dinations Cardstock, Fiskars punches and texture plate and cuttle bug embossing folder.

Toot 'n from the roof tops

With October magazines now hitting the shelves I can finally share my good news, this month I have layouts in three different magazines. It is awesome!! The first is in SBE, in there make it yours column. The second is in Creating Keepsakes, this one made me do a little happy dance in the grocery store, {the stock boy must have thought I was nuts}. This is my first publication with them. and the third is the Shine ad in Canadian Scrapbooker magazine. {sorry no picture my Mom stole the magazine for bragging rights, but you can find it on my my blog here} What a month!!! I have had a crazy wonderful weekend my husband was in logger sports, I am so proud of him he placed 2nd in the novice Canadian championship double buck. My son also did the nail driver competition. Let's just say he has a lot of heart at this point and I am very proud of him too!Since I can't actually do a post with out something crafty I will share with you a quick Halloween Card that I made using the Cuttle Bug folder, skeletal scrolls. Hocus Pocus Core-dinations and this adorable bling brad by doodlebug. TFL :)
