Have A Splendid Day Card
This weekend has been extremely busy! Football game Friday night, Autumn had a Volleyball tournament all day Saturday at our school, so that meant I worked the whole time. We got there at 7:30 am and didn't leave until 7:00 pm! They got 3rd in the tournament! :) Then Chace had a game (I didn't get to make it because of the tournament), but they won 30 to 0 and had to call the game in the 3rd quarter because of the lightening. Then we got some of Chace's baseball team together today to play a little baseball. It was a great weekend! Tonight we are getting a cool front and we are so excited! It will be in the 60's in the morning and the high is only suppose to be in the low 70's tomorrow! It has been a LONG time since we have seen those temps! :)
I also want to ask for prayer for my brother Chris. He was on his way home from work Friday and was hurting on his right side pretty bad and stopped at the hospital to get it checked out. They found that his gallbladder was full of stones and they decided to take it out on Saturday. They took it out and also fixed a hernia. He is doing pretty good, but please pray for him to continue to heal quickly.
I wanted to share a card that I made for a card call. It didn't get accepted, but I really love how CAS it is! :)
I love these orange flowers! Thanks Ann! :)

Happy Fall Ya'll!
Well I was up early today, it was 'See You At The Pole' at school today. If you don't know what that is, it is when everyone comes together around the flag pole at school and pray for the children, teachers, parents, community, our countries leaders, and the world. I really enjoy doing that every year. It really shows the kids about prayer and God!
So we were up early this morning for that and then me and Chance had dentist appointments too. We went in for cleanings and I told them about a tooth that has been bothering me when I eat. So they looked at it and decided that I needed to have a new crown put on. So they took the old crown off and found a cavity under it. So they did an xray and think that it might be infected down past the old root canal. It doesn't hurt all the time, only when I eat on it. So they are sending me to a specialist next week to see if it root canal needs to be redone. (Lord I hope not!) So I am now sporting around an ugly looking temporary filling on a molar and it tastes like band aids! :( This should be an interesting week! :) Please pray it doesn't have to be redone and I can get a new crown on soon! :)
So anyway today is the first day of Autumn. I love this time of year, but I just wish the colors were more vibrant here in Texas.
Here is a card I made month's ago for a PC call and it wasn't accepted. I used paint swatches from WalMart and they already had the square holes punched in them, so I just threaded the ribbon through it.
Supplies: Cardstock: (White) PTI, Stamps: (Alphabet, FALL) Studio G, Ink: (Black) StazOn, Ribbon: (Black satin) Offray, Other: (Paint swatches) WalMart

Paper Storage
I put the paper pack and a manila folder in each hanging folder.
I used my Fiskars scallop circle punch and punched each color out. And I used my new Martha Stewart scor board that I got a Michael's with my 40% off coupon! Woo Hoo! :) And I scored the middle and folded it in half and stamped the name of the paper on each circle with my Lawn Fawn Harold's ABC set! (I love this set!)
Then I used my Tombo Mono liquid glue to adhere them to each Manila file folder.
In each file folder, I keep the scraps of that color. (Because I don't like to waste at all!)
And the hanging folders are in this cute Raspberry Fizz plastic crate from WalMart! :)

Baby Gifts
I made them for two different friends. One of the boys names is Darren and one is Rylan. So here is a pic of Darren's onesie. (I didn't take pics of each one, because I was trying to get them both mailed that day, and I was running out of time!) :) Here is a pic of the pacifier/toy holder I made. I got the idea from the Scrapbook Trends- Create: Stamping magazine. Instead of putting a button on it to hold it together, I used a snap.
And a close up.Here is one of the sets together. I also bought a onesie that was already camo and that was the inspiration for the set.
Here are the cards I made for each one.Here are the sets all packaged up.

EBTKS #23 Sketch Challenge
As I was blog hopping, I found that a Blogger was talking about Copic Ciaos. I had never heard or seen them before. So I spoke with her about them and she said that she was wanting to sell some of hers, because she had gotten new ones from work. So I decided to buy 72 markers from her and I have been coloring like CRAZY! I think I like using these better than the original Copics and they are cheaper! :)

Girly Gifts
Here is the Thank you card, it matches the gift set perfect! ;)
I used a tutorial from Youtube to make these TuTu's. And of course all twins usually wear pink and purple, (I wasn't even a twin and my Mom dressed me and my sister like that!) :) I bought little tank tops from Walmart and made some fabric ruffles and sewed them on and little H's for their names (Hannah & Hayden). I bought some little shorts to go underneath and of course I made some more headbands!
Here is the purple set.And the pink set.
And both.
This set makes me wish I made these when Autumn was a baby! She would have been so cute in it! I told her that I could make her one now if she wanted one! :)
Ok, well that is it for today. It feels good to get some time to post something! Life is busy!

Exciting News & Lots of Cards
Well as you can see by the picture below, I have been cleaning out all of my cards! These are mostly from submitting and weren't picked, so there are alot of them! Thanks to my friend Kelley and her cleaning sprees she does, she has inspired me to clean out my card bucket and mail some out and just try and give some away! I have lost site of card making by submitting all the time and then they would sit in the bucket!
So today I am sending off 5 cards to family and customers of our business. I have been told many times and again just today that I have the gift of encouragement! What a great gift to have and how Amazing that I like to make cards too! I can send cards to people to help encourage them! Thank You Lord! :)
I am going to try and continue to send cards out and if they are some that I haven't post on here, then I will post them when I send them. Then I can cross it off of my long list to post! :)
So here is all my clutter at my kitchen table this morning. Here is a card I made months ago and submitted and it wasn't accepted. I really love the colors. I am sending this one to my Mee Mee.I made this one a couple of month's ago and it wasn't submitted. I am sending this one to my Uncle who just lost his wife.
I started making this one a couple of months ago to, but I finished it this morning. It is for my cousin and his family. His Mom is the one that passed away.
