Halloween cards for the nieces and nephews


Here are 4 of the 7 halloween cards that I made. Forgot to take pictures of the other 3 before sealing them in their envelopes. Below is the inside of the middle card. The eyes are on accordin folded paper so the eyes pop out when the card is open. All the older nieces and nephews got explopding candy. I have to make a trip to the dollar store today to buy some soft candy for the 2 little ones that are only 2 years old.

My friend Peggy always helping new scrapbookers.


Peggy and I have went to a few crops at Scrappin Friendzee and when ever she sees a new face in the store. She take time out and introduces herself and helps them. This lady and her little girl came into the store with a stack of pictures. The lady was looking for someone to scrapbook the pages for her. Peggy said that she should scrap the pages herself because it is such a personal thing. Well the lady did not expect to be scrapping that day, but her and her daugther did 2 - two page layouts and a title page and she was hooked. Can't wait to see the finished album.

PINK crop a fundraiser for Breast Cancer.


The PINK crop was held at Scrappin Friendzee at 2201 Barataria Blvd, Marrero, Louisiana on Friday, Oct 8 and Saturday, Oct 9, 2009. I attend on Saturday and worked on cards for the troops. I completed 20 cards. While there we were asked to decorate a pink breast cancer ribbon. I did not bring anything pink all christmas cardstock and paper. But be hold I did search my paper container hoping that I had something to decorated with and I did, one magenta cardstock and a very small piece of a pattern pink cardstock. So yes I was able to create a little something to put on my ribbon. It was a memory ribbon for my mom, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 1991.

Flowers Flowers


Instead of doing a paper piecing class last month (September) at Shey Lynne's crop at Cucos's the group worked on flowers. I cut flowers from the circut and showed the ladies how to use a stylus to give the flower a 3d look and some texture. Here is the end results.
