Some Cards & Some Pics

Hi everyone!! What a fantastic weekend I've had!! The weather has been holding on to beautiful for the longest time and we are so fortunate to have such mild temperatures to this point!! Got a bunch of scrapping done (yea) and just wanted to post a few card projects I've completed over the last little bit. I still find it so crazy that I've started making cards as often as I am - they use to be such a challenge for me!!

A sweet holiday card using the beautiful Winter Joy papers from Bo Bunny and Petaloo's new Holiday Dazzler snowflakes and sequins. What a perfect match!

Another winter card, complete with matching envelope. To fasten my envelope closed, I used two chipboard pieces, layered on top of two smaller chipboard pieces to lift them slightly. I could then criss cross some twine underneath and fasten with a bow.

The papers and embellishments are from Bo Bunny's Winter Joy Collection.

Lastly, a birthday card created with Bo Bunny's Learning Curve collection. Love the worn/vintage feel of these papers. A pop of yellow and a little faux stitching completes the shabby look that I love so much!

OK, so I totally took advantage of the gorgeous fall weather we've been having thus far and took my dd out while the boys were in school and just snapped a TON of photos!!

This was actually a cloak that I USE TO WEAR when I was little!! I LOVE the colours in it soooo much and am so glad my mom kept it for me all these years.

Did I mention how much I love the fall!?!

A conversation with Peter Cottontail. Seriously. Normally the bunnies in this park bolt the other way when they hear us coming. For whatever reason, this little bunny ADORED my dd! She sat like this and chatted with him for a good 5 minutes! It was totally adorable. After she said that she told the bunny that he had to take little bites (of grass) or he was going to choke. Rabbits don't like bread mommy - they like grass better.

Not to worry, the ducks will eat our bread. Here we are a few feet away, feeding the ducks. LOVE the outfit? It's another treasure my mom kept!! It's REALLY itchy as its 100% wool - comes with these funky leggins too - with suspenders!


PS - DH actually put the Christmas lights up today - without me even asking!? Couldn't believe it!! Guess its cleaning day for me tomorrow to make up for it eh - ugh!

I love the scalloped edges on these cards. I have a punch for that edging coming in the mail. I will have to try it.
