Sharing time.

Well the snow storm has come and go leaving us with about a foot or more of snow. Its all so beautiful when its coming down and its just fresh on the ground, then come the plows and the neighborhood dogs, dirtying it up, haha. Anyway, there it is, our first snow storm of the season and it was a good one.

Last night did not consist of buying my camera:( booo, the gift card I was gifted was not the actual gift card, it was just the paper work. So now I must wait for them to resend a new one. When th
at will be? I do not know, hopefully before this camera goes off sale.

I was able to finally
empty that camera of mine, and I have edited all of my pictures to share with you:) Lets get started.

First off, I participated in the Scrap in Style "Fall" ATC swap. The theme was where you live, you had to make a card based on that and add a fact about where you live. Well I live on Long Island, NY and so I did a Long Island ATC. I used some local newspaper for the background, cut out the shape of our island, glittered it green and then just stamped Long Island, New York. My fact was that Long Island is one of the largest island in the 48 contiguous states, woo hoo, haha.


Next I participated in another ATC swap on SiS, this one was called "The twelve days of Christmas" and I chose 6 geese a laying. All I knew is that my card had to have an egg on it somewhere:) I used the Basic Grey Eskimo kisses line on here, I glittered my Tim Holtz grungeboard letters(big mess, the glitter not the grungeboard) and I ordered these cute egg tags from this great little shop on etsy. I thought they came out pretty darn cute:)



This year I decided to make my Christmas/Holiday cards!!! I have not made Christmas cards probably since I was like 10, and why that is, I have no clue. I had a lot of fun making these, and it felt good to give something handmade instead of bought. I really loved the Jolly By golly line by Cosmo Cricket. It was perfect for making cards for everyone no matter their religious backgrounds. A perfect all around Holiday paper. I also used alot of Marshmallow glimmer mist(I am starting to become addicted!!) and also some of the stickle products. Another fun thing I used that I love is the Crayola Glitter glue(good for temporary things like cards, not sure if acid free) So my cards were glittery without all of that glitter mess!! Score!

This one was my favorite!!!

I have a pretty big collection of paper doilies, it was time to get those out and use them. I love how I made them look like real vintage lace. Simply sweet:) I actually have to make a few more cards, I still have to send out a few more as well!! I am so behind.


Now how about some Christmas decorations!!


A Red Ryder BB gun tucked behind our tree:)



AND last but not least, how about an image of my boyfriend digging out his mother's car, haha.
