A mystery box showed up on the porch yesterday and when I opened it I squealed in delight to find that it contained the new American Crafts Letterbox line! I have to say I think this is one of my favorite AC realeases ever, the papers have a bit of a retro feel and all of the embellishments are the cutest! Oh and the new Salutations and Regards Thickers are a must have!! I couldn't wait to play so I did this LO this morning of Miss Pixie Pie ♥
I exchanged some goodies with my friend in the Netherlands Karin, I sent her a package of vintage goodies and in return I got all of these lovelies ♥
How cute are those monster stickers?! She sent one of her fabulous bracelets...
and this cuuuuuute LO of Mugsy :)
Our friends Jan & Jocko sent us this cute Halloween card...on the inside it says "& Pie", how clever!
How about a quick (and inexpensive) holiday project idea...these really only take minutes to make and would make great quick and easy gifts.
and you are done! I accented the flowers with a little felt leaf that is adhered with fabric glue.
I have a couple of new projects to share using the new Kitschy Digitals Woodgrain Frames Cut-Out Sheets...aren't they lovely ♥ I borrowed this image from Danielle
and my projects...a LO where I framed images of some very fashionable ladies from some vintage patterns and added some little bows for more dimension
and a card...the front of the card is cut out so that the frame frames a window with the little Olivia girl inside :)
You can find them here or here!
Just a couple of quick LOs of my 2 favorite subjects ♥
maybe it has something to do with this mess....
seriously, how many different types of adhesive does one need to have out at 1 time...in my case it appears to be 7. Now just imagine that the floor and every other flat surface in my room looks like that....ack! Why are there canned vegetables on my scrap table?! Between the mess and the slow, steady, dark & depressing rain we have had for days on end I have felt less like creating something and more like sitting on the couch watching Maury paternity shows :) The rain has stopped this morning, the sun is out and I am attacking my room with garbage bags in hand! Wish me luck!
I did manage to make this wreath before the slackedness set in...
I made the pom poms with my favorite tool ever, the Clover Pom Pom Maker and then finished it off with the Kitschy Digitals Feathers Cut-Out sheet , embellishments from the Olivia Digital Kit , a little lace and a vintage button.
And not just any glitter.
The best glitter.
Martha Stewart Crafts Halloween glitter.

I have the most exciting news to share...I am going to Israel in February to teach!!! Details can be found here with more info to come shortly. Classes will be February 19th & 20th and you can sign up for either day or both, trust me, you will want to do both days as the classes are going to be fabulous...I will have kits full of vintage goodies and lots of great techniques to share!! Oh and the uber talented Celine Navarro will be teaching too! I love her style and can't wait to soak in some of her fabulousness :)
Went to go see this today...
and loved it ♥ and definitely recommend it.
Before heading to the movies we did a little thrifting...found a couple of chairs that are now with our dining table...
and some old magazines that didn't cost me any more than when they were first published...love that groovy basement!
If you haven't checked out Craft Critique lately you should head over there now as the vendor spotlight this week is EK Success and they have generously donated some of the products featured this week to give away! Be on the lookout for my review of the Martha Stewart Crafts Halloween line in a day or 2 :)
The only good thing about going to the grocery store on your day off is that it is close to the thrift store :) Today I scored these crafty books and all of these vintage linens
It's Tuesday so make sure you go check out the Catwalk over at SIS...this week I picked these ATCs by aranka, I love that oilcloth, it totally reminds me of my trip to the Netherlands!
2 new projects to share...
Lots of Kitschy Digitals goodies on this one! I love the Prize Ribbons Cut-Out Sheets because they are all printed up and ready to use :) I added one of the Thrift Store Chic frames and the woodgrain paper from the Skyler Digital Kit and finished everything off with some AC Flair and Daydream Thickers and a little Sassafras.
I made these treat bags the other day...aren't they the coolest? They are a digital download from Elle's Studio so you can make as many as you need, my favorite one of course is the one with the skull :)
Speaking of Halloween it's about time for pumpkins...
and monsters!
xoxo
O.k., playing major catch-up this morning!
