It's $5 Haul

I went to a nearby "It's $5" store

 and found these goodies last week.

And a couple weeks before, 

I found these there and some

 at a local Goodwill Outlet store.

Card Swap

On Sunday afternoon I attended a Card Swap at a friend's home.  We each made 4 card kits and a completed sample.  We take turns walking them through how to make the card we created.  So everyone goes home with 5 different completed cards.  I chose to do a Valentine theme bc Valentine's Day is just right around the corner and I recently found these really awesome keys I wanted to use on a project.

Here's my card...

Here are the lovely cards 

that the other girls created...

Had a great time with the girls! Looking forward to our next

Card Swap in March.

Gorjuss Girl Doll Halloween Card

I'm a little late in sharing the last few Halloween crafty things. I'm just not ready to start working on a lot of Christmas just yet.

Here is a Halloween card that I made for a friend who collects the Gorjuss Girl doll stamps.  Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!

KC Croppers Wicked Crop

The Wicked Crop was a success.  We had several dress up as witches. They did an awesome job with their costumes.  It was a lot of fun! 

Here are all the name tags I made.

Fall Card Challenge

I participated in another monthly card challenge.  This month's challenge was to create a Fall card. I created this quilted card by using a thin metal die from My Favorite Things and a Fall Stamp set from Close To My Heart.

Happy Fall!!!

Quick Card

Made this quick card for a friend who was about to leave for a trip to Germany.  I didn't have any German scrapbook paper or embellishments so I printed images I found from online. Those of you who know me, know that I love fussy cutting.  I had to make it quick so I didn't get time to emboss the red cardstock.  I know it looks kinda plain. But I'm glad she liked it.

Ribbon, Lace, Trim Swap

One of our swaps at the September Crop was 36" of 2 - 3 different Ribbon, Lace, or trim.

I printed and fussy cut an image of a girl from a vintage pattern cover I found on Pinterest.  (See pic below) 

Then I twist tied three different pink ribbon/trims and taped the twist tie to the back of the cutout to create the bottom of her dress.

Here are the ribbon, lace, trim pieces that I swapped and recieved from my swap partners. Thanks  so much to Rhonda, Christa, and Lisa!!

   

   

I'm looking forward to our groups next swap! Fun! Fun! Fun!!
