A Couple of Digi Pages

Scrapbooks Please is having a sale on Digital Scrapbook pages until the end of the month so I'm going to try and step it up on page making this month.
Here is an Autumn page using pictures taken at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve:
Completed using:
Crisp Autumn Kit by Megan Poulton
Next I decided to use a picture I took of John on our road trip a few years back. I've already made two scrapbooks of the trip, but I've always loved this photo. Completed using:

Holiday Wreaths

Alisha and I were talking about starting a craft-a-long since we haven't been able to get together for a craft night in FOREVER. We thought about doing holiday wreaths in November so that they would be ready to be hung in December. She has already made a very cute Square Fall Wreath with her kids. Today I was looking at my daily blogs and found a tutorial for this fabric wreath.

Now I'm REALLY wanting to make one.

I'm also really liking these:

1. Pinup Wreath
2. Button Wreath
3. Present Wreath

I'm for sure doing the Pinup Wreath for this year. I always have trouble figuring out what to do with all my Christmas cards and this idea is perfect. Plus I don't think it will take to much time out of my gift making.

The fabric wreath I want to do for next Autumn as I know I won't get one done in time for this year and I already have a pretty Christmas wreath for my front door.

I also still want to do a monthly Craft-A-Long if anyone is interested!

The Stocking Was Hung...

Since Lyndon's 1st Christmas last year I have been searching for his permanent Christmas stocking. A couple of weeks ago I found it in Better Homes and Gardens: Holiday Craft magazine.

I have to say this is my favorite project so far. It didn't take me very long at all and I think it turned out SUPER cute.

Wish List Wednesday

Here is my massive to-do list:
Sadly that's not it either...not even close. I need more material...lots...and Christmas is quickly sneaking up on me.
So this week, I would like to wish for lots more time.
Or this cute guy to keep me smiling while I stay very busy!!

Toes

I made this frame in August for my hubby's birthday...and am only now getting around to posting it.

The caterpillar is Munch's little 9 month toes. Got this idea searching around for thumb print art and thankfully found some toe art too. It's super hard getting a 9 month old to cooperate with you when you are trying to paint his fingers and use them as stamps. Toes were much more fun and a lot more ticklish!
Here are some places to find more ideas:
Thumb Print Zoo
Ed Emberley (You can also check out his books at the library!)
Shoreway 77

Enjoy!!
