Happy Halloween!

It is a beautiful day here in Maine on Halloween! It is suppose to get up to the low 70's. The lucky little globins that come to our house tonight will not have to wear coats over their cute costumes. My sisters and I are getting ready for our Craft Fair this weekend at the Italian Heritage Center in Portland. We have done this fair for the past 6 or 7 years. It is always so busy especially the line for the Italian food that they sell. Here are a few things, I have been working on--

The Turkey is a gift box which is so cute. His head comes off! It is fun to reuse items like the sewing drawer for a centerpiece. "Let It Snow" wall art is perfect for this time of year because in the next few weeks it could snow! Come on over to the Craft Fair and check off names on your Christmas list!

Christmas Craft Fair

I have a new obsession, the busted frame. This one is for the craft fair that my sisters and I are doing in about 2 weeks in Portland, Maine. Love making them. The picture is from a Christmas Gift bag that I had in my stash. They are pretty easy to do but it does have a few steps to follow and I found this on Pinterest. There are quite a few tutorials on youtube.

This layered Christmas scene is the first one I have done with my cricut. It is not lighted because of all the layers but I love how it came out. My second red truck item. Everyone loves a red truck. It really shows up. So come on over to the Italian Heritage Center's food and craft fair in Portland Maine on Saturday, November 2nd from 9-3pm. It is always a busy fair especially for the Italian cookies and breads!

Nautical Busted Canvas

Graphic 45's beach/nautical themed paper collection is one of my favorites and I have used it for so many cards and projects. This busted canvas is another project that I just had to use it. It was great for putting seashells for embellishments because it actually protects them a little because of the curled canvas. Sometimes I'm afraid to use shells on projects because they get broken. Love how this came out and I'm not sure that I am going to sell or keep. Big decision!!

My son's birthday is coming up and he and his wife bought an outside pizza oven. The pizza that they made for my husband and I when we visited them in May was terrific. I thought what a great card to make for his birthday! I love this pop up slide card! I actually have made it without a die but this card was made with a die. Happiest of birthdays Eric!

Hello October!

Love making these flying easel cards. It is easy to use a picture for a celebration especially for anniversaries! October 7th is my son and daughter-in-law's 2nd anniversary. I can't believe it has been 2 years, time flies by! Happy Anniversary Eric & Sabrina, love you both! Here is another anniversary card that I made for my sister and her husband, 19 years! I used a picture from their wedding also!

The pictures above are a birthday card for a friend. She loves crafting and I thought I would send her a card to get her creative juices flowing. I made the trifold variation for her. Happy Birthday Cindy!
