Cuttlebug Inspiration Wednesday

Hello...hope all is well.

My kids have been sick with sinus and eye infections. They are both on antibiotics now and doing much better. YAY! That makes momma happy.

Well, on to today's inspiration. We are so fortunate to have Teresa Collins and Jamie Harper as our guest designers today! So cool!!

The design team also received some fun Teresa Collins products to play with....Great Fun!!

I decided to create a mini album. I love the way it turned out. I didn't follow the kit instructions to a T but, instead made it my own creation. I love how it all coordinates so well and helps tell your story of gratitude.

Here is my album...



Here I used the Houndstooth Cuttlebug embossing folder on some red cardstock.


Here I used the Journaling Card Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the background for my Title.


I used some metal rings to bind my album. I love all the folders and envelopes this little album has. As well as the theme of being grateful. So wonderful and inspiring on its own.
I created the paperclips to hold the envelopes closed. So easy just take a paperclip of any size. I used the Jumbo size for my project. Then I cut paper of the same size and attached them together over the end of the paperclip. You can also fold a piece of paper over the end of the paperclip and attach. Quick and easy.

I hope you take some time to visit the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. I am sure the rest of the design team will have some great projects to share with you. And don't forget Teresa Collins and Jamie Harper are guest designing for us. They are sure to knock the socks off all of us.

Till next time Happy Craftin' and thanks for stopping by, Jenn K

Halloween Update...

Well, this has been a sad day for the kidos. Both are sick with sinus infections and the little one has an added eye infection too...YUCK! I feel bad for the little guys...They did get some candy on Friday on Trick or Treat street here in our town so they are not completely candy less. But, as I am sure you can imagine they are bummed out (mostly the 9yo). So Momma has no pics to share with ya right now. Maybe when they are feeling better I can get them to dress up for me so I can snap some shots...

I hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween.....Enjoy the sugar high!

Hugs, Jenn K

Happy Halloween!!

Well, the day all the kids have been waiting for has finally arrived. Time to put on your costume and head out the door in search of some yummy treats!

What will you be doing this Halloween day/night?

We have a football game this afternoon, then need to run a few errands. Tonight the kids will be suiting up for the big Candy hunt. heheee!

I have a Ninja snake eyes from GI Joe and James the train on the hunt. Pictures will come later.

Until then Enjoy the Candy and Fall colors........

Happy Wednesday!!

Hello and Happy day! Hope your day is going great. I have a short week this week. The kidos don't have any school on Friday so 1 more day of morning hustles and bustles to get kids off to school....then a long weekend. YAY!

So today is the Wednesday Inspiration over at the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog. This week we are sponsored by My Favorite Things stamps! They are giving away 2 stamp sets...waahoo!! So Come on over and create something with us.

Here is the card I created.


This was lots of fun to create...

I colored the image in with Prismacolor pencils. The paper is Bo Bunny. Stamp is MY FAVORITE THINGS.

Hope this is a little inspiration for ya. Don't forget to take a peek at what the rest of the design team created over at Cuttlebug Challenge.

My Minds Eye....

Hello! Today the sun is shining YAY!! I am not ready for the grey days of winter quite yet.

I wanted to share a 2 page layout I just finished up. I haven't been doing 2 pagers lately and then just recently I have done 2. I really enjoy doing them, I love to share all the pictures of a fun day in a layout.

I used the abbey road line from My Minds Eye. I love the colors of this line..so FUN!!

Here is the 2 page layout together.

And here are some close ups of each page. I love how simple this is and the fun cheerful colors.

I would love to know what you think.

Have a great day! Jenn K
