Still working on Christmas cards

I thought I was done with cards last week, but of course I discovered I needed a few more. So out came my ribbon and bling and Christmas papers once again.

Big 'B', little 'b', what begins with 'B'?

I bought this big 'B' by Making Memories for Breanna's bedroom door. We glued peppermint candies all over it and I used a length of green wired ribbon to hang it. It's decorated with some Making Memories poinsetta and leaves.

Breanna told her brothers she was going to lick it everytime she went by so they wouldn't be tempted to steal her candies.

Paint and glass ball ornaments

Breanna and I have been making these pretty glass ball ornaments. They are so easy. Just pour in the paint; two or three different colours, and roll the ball around so the entire inside is covered.

Breanna had fun playing with nontraditional Christmas colours like pink and blue.

This one she made for her teacher.

This one is for her good friend.

And this one was for her class Secret Santa.

It's so easy even Daddy can do it.

Hmmm. I think ours are prettier. Next time we'll have to tell him not to shake it up.

An early Christmas present

Breanna told her Daddy she wanted a kitty for Christmas. That's all she wanted. And she'd clean the litter box and take care of it all by herself.
So yesterday Rick took her down to the SPCA and this is the kitty she picked out.
She named him Turbo because she says he's turbo-charged. I was a little worried about the mayhem I would be coming home to after work last night, but he was fairly mellow by the time I met him. I think the three kids had pretty much tuckered him out by that time.


Tikanni was very interested in Turbo. He sniffed, the kitty glared. They eventually became aquainted with no teeth or claws involved.

The fish kept their distance.

He's two months old so already litter trained!!!
And he didn't keep us up all night which was unexpected. I only got woken once at 2am when he ran across my night table, pillows and my head. Rick needs to build him a ladder now so he can climb into Breanna's loft bed.

Fall layout

I did this layout last month. Bad blogger...

The pictures are of Breanna and Breann a couple of falls ago. The papers, frames, felt embellishments, etc are all Little Yellow Bicycle. I tried spraying over the leaf shapes, but it didn't show up very well so I used some gold rub to really make the edges of the leaves pop.

I know, I know, it's been more than a month since I posted. This working full time is for someone else ~ not me. I feel like I have no time to do the creative things I enjoy so much. But Breanna and I are going to get creative tonight. I picked up some supplies last night and I have another list to pick up at my LSS on the way home from work this evening and then we're taking over the dining room table and we are creating, all night long. I wonder if the family will expect dinner first?

Lots of my list items are Prima. They are so great for way more than just scrapbooking projects. Check out some of their new stuff below...
