Exploding Book/Card for Halloween

2011-09-14T07:00:00.001-05:00

My friend Judy showed me the exploding books she's been making. I loved her idea and decided to try it on a smaller scale. She was using 12x12 sheets and I tried 8x8. I like the smaller version...it works better for me. Please have fun with it though...try whatever size you like! I made a template (see the link below in the supply list) so it's easier to see how to do the folds and assembly.

Summer Fire Flies

Click HERE for the Whimsy Stamps/Make It Crafty Blog Hop

I don't know about other parts of the world, but during the summer here in Kansas we have fire flies (lightening bugs) like crazy! Sometimes the yard looks like it has a sparkly carpet! They just amaze me. I don't usually say things like that about bugs hehe. I was looking at my Meljen's images the other day and thought this one would be so cute colored at night to show it's glow! I used chalks to make it glow and to make the background dark. Our summer is coming to a close...I'm thankful the 120' temps are gone, but sad to see this time end with my kids!

What's been occupying my time of late

2011-07-21T14:37:00.002-05:00

Well I haven't had much time to craft since Tuesday! My little Tif had an accident and broke her little leg! I had her in my arms while I was entering the code for our garage door opener. She startled when the door started to open and jumped out of my arms, landing on the concrete! Off to the vet we went. She'll be styling this bright pink split for 6 weeks. We have had a rough couple of days. Hopefully a pain med change and some food in her tummy will get things turned around today!

I hadn't used the cute animals by Magnolia before and oh what fun they are! I don't really know what to call this card as far as the fold goes....it's a sort of a tri-fold I suppose. I hadn't done much coloring directly onto colored card stock either. The green worked well since I was coloring a vine. To get a good color for the little flowers I colored them first with white gel pen.

Ready for 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #25? The theme for this one is red, white and blue as your colors. I love the combination! I did go with a darker red and a dusty blue. This fun little basket is a template you can purchase here. It comes with plastic pieces to trace for $6 and the postage is around $1 (I asked). So give them a call or email if you'd like to order the template. Don't forget to check out the super inspiration the team has to share with you over on the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog.
