HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone. I want to share a gift idea with you all. I am heading to my Mom's and bringing this yummy bread.

I made a festive belly band to dress it up a bit. The pattern is titled 'pilgrim boy and girl'.

I think it makes the bread just a bit more special :)

Thanks so much for looking and enjoy your day. ~ Amanda

ON STRIKE

Oh my...someone is on strike. Hi everyone. I just want to share a cute Thanksgiving Day card I made.

 I think I might be addicted to these slider cards. I just love how this 'on strike turkey' pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs came out. Look at those legs!!!! Thank you so much for looking. ~ Amanda

FEEL BETTER BILL

Happy Sunday everyone. I just want to share my newest slider card. Sorry for the poor video...I didnt realize how tough it would be to make a video with the card opening vertically.

My poor brother-in-law hurt is foot and will be out of work for at least four months. I made this card to hopefully make him feel better. I used the 'check up time' pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. Thanks so much for looking. Come back soon as I attempt another great slider like this with a Thanksgiving theme.

CHRISTMAS IS 44 DAYS AWAY

Christmas is 44 days away...I am not one to do 'countdowns' because I think you get so distracted by looking forward to one specific day or occasion that you miss out on time and days leading up to then. But...because I have such a big family, Christmas is always a big production that takes months of planning and prep work.

That is why I LOVE these Christmas tags. Not only are they quick and fun but you can make them to coordinate your wrapping paper. I have paper that is neon green, blue, pink and silver ~ not the traditional Christmas colors.

I love how these tags now match my paper and bows. I am happy to say that one of my 4 advent calendars is finished!!!

Thanks so much for looking. ~ Amanda

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEC

Good morning folks. I want to wish my nephew Alec a very happy birthday and share with you the card I made him. 

I love this birthday boy file. A huge thank you to Little Scraps of Heaven Designs for this file. 

Here is the card when fully open.

This is the card when put in its 'easel' position. It looks crooked but it really lines up nicely.

Happy birthday Alec. I hope you have a great day.

THANK YOU FELICIA

Hi everyone. I want to share yet another easel card that I have made.

I made this card for my niece Felicia who ran a Halloween road race with me last Sunday.

This is what it looks like when open.

This is what the card looks like when placed in the easel position. How adorable huh? This was the first time I made this kind of flower cluster. I like how it looks. I think next time I would make the roses a different color than the main tulip type. Thanks so much for looking. Come back tomorrow for another easel birthday card.

LAST DAY OF BOXING CLASS

Happy Friday morning. I started a boxing fitness class eight weeks ago. Today was my last day. 

I made this card for Tracy who was my instructor the first two weeks. 

I made this card for Jess who was my instructor for the last six weeks. It was a super fun class and now I am looking forward to the next chapter of my 'fitness' life. Thanks so much for looking.
