Birthday card for the box

Finished another birthday card for giving at school  I need three more to finish the month of October!  Lots of people born in October on our staff.

I'm working on a costume to wear at a stamp expo next weekend and a friend's birthday is coming up so I've got some picture to share from those projects too.  Hopefully, I'll have time to post again later this weekend.  Have a great one and I'll talk to you again soon.

Homemade award ribbons

I host a pumpkin decorating contest at school and I always make the award ribbons.  Here is this years batch.  Three winners per grade level.

I think they turned out pretty good.  Happy Friday!!! I'll talk to you again soon.

Fall colors

We had a temperature change this weekend and when I got ready to leave the house yesterday this is the sight that caught my eye.  Beautiful fall colors right in front of me. 

Have a great Thursday.  I'll talk to you again soon!

Some challenge cards

We have a stamp expo coming to town at the end of the month and the challenge for the cards were baby boy card with no blue and baby girl card with no pink. I had to work at it a little but here they are:


For Baby boy I used Cranberry and black

For Baby Girl I used Creme Brule, Olive and Chocolate.

We'll see how they do in the competition. Thanks for stopping in, I'll talk to you soon.

Happy Birthday Wednesday

Still working on birthday cards for the box. Here's another one, I had to try my hand at something a little fall'ish.

The picture doesn' t quite do it justice. The colors are more coordinated in real life. Oh well, I'll keep working on my photograpy skills. Thanks for stopping by, I'll talk to you again soon.

Supplies:
Paper, stamps, ink from Close to My Heart
Punch from Martha Stewart
Ribbon and button from my stash

Baby Tag Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! I hope your day is going good. Here is a tag I made to top a baby gift basket for a teacher at school. I totally forgot to take a picture of the basket it turned out really cute too. But anyway here is the tag.

The tag coordinated with some of the items in the basket. Too cute! Thanks for stopping by, I'll talk to you again soon.

Supplies:
Stamps and ink from Close to my heart
Misc. colored pencils
Ribbon, button and papers from my stash

Balloon Fiesta

The International Balloon Fiesta is a BIG deal here in New Mexico and I am lucky enough to have an amazing view of the field from my back yard.  Here are some pictures I took early Saturday morning while I was comfy and cozy in my pj's and slippers.


Dawn Patrol goes up first to check out the wind currents.

Then as the sun starts coming up over the mountains, you can see all the brightly colored balloon begin to fill up and stand on the field.

Then finally, the mass ascension...

We had a ton of them flying over the neighborhood yesterday morning.  Such a pretty sight.  Have a sweet Sunday and I talk to you again soon.
