Be sure to check out my other blog at http://theworldthroughchrissyslens.blogspot.com/ for some fall foliage photos and just of photo's around my town.

MY TA DO's

I must sit down and finish my Christmas card list (I started on it but that's has far as I gotten)

I have a card idea that I would like to make

Help my sister make a shaker card - I have to fine my template for the one she wants to make (I can't give away the secret she will be mad) - We didn't get to do last weeks challenge yet

Really start working on Christmas cards

I think I still have a few Thanksgiving cards to make - I don't make many of those

Next week's Sunday Scrappin challenge is something fuzzy. It could be a fuzzy embellishment... a layout with photos of your favorite fuzzy sweater... anything you can connect to the word fuzzy. Hmmm......I'm sure my little sister is going to love this she's a fuzzy kind of girl. LOL! But for what I'm going to do hmmmm......

Have a crafty week!

Fall Foilage

I don't have a card to share but I have some photos from today. We drove around the mtn side today taking pictures. We went to the Katterskill Falls in Palenville NY it is the highest waterfall in New York state at aprox 260 feet high. We took the trial up along side the fall which it was gorgeous, chili but so pretty. We got to the top (not the tippy top) and I felt very dizzy and light headed. I never had an issue with heights I've been on some the highest and craziest carnival rides, I have flown no problem don't know what it was today. Maybe it was the elevation, I don't know. The first photo of the red tree, that is my baby that tree is in our front yard, I love it. It is so bright and vibrant, it's gorgeous. I'll be back later or tomorrow with a card to share. Have a great weekend!

Friendship Card

I came across a new blog challenge group called DRS Designs. Challenges are posted every other Monday this particular challenge was to use a sentiment as the focal point of your creation. I received this sentiment image free when I placed an order at Rubbernecker stamps (they have treasure hunt Tuesday you place your order on Tuesday and they give you a clue what stamp is free and you have to go through there store find and it put it in your cart and you get it for free).

Found a new blog with fun blog candy

I just came across this blog tonight http://myscrappinplace.blogspot.com/ and she is doing Bingo and the person who wins the bingo gets a cool blog candy package of fun scrapbooking items.

Fun Fall Creations

This card is actual a coloring sheet that I printed out (coloring page can be found here). I printed it out and shrunk it down some and traced it onto a piece of folded cardstock it folds at the hand and wing of the bat on the left. Then I printed it out onto the various colors of cardstock and kept cutting and layering. The bats are pop dotted to give them some dimension. The one card is for a swap partner and the other is for our niece Summer.






I am part of a secret Boo Friend swap. It works the same way as a Secret Santa Swap but this one is a Halloween theme. We had to make several handmade items and also buy some items. One of the items we had to make is a Fall recipe card. Those who know me know I don't know the first thing about cooking or baking. But thankfully there is the Internet and I was able to pull this recipe from here. The pumpkin is from the Cricut Dreams Come True cartridge. And no don't expect to see anymore recipe pages, not my thing, put I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

Sunday Scrappin # 48

It's been another hectic, crazy, stressful week but it did end on a happy note. We have finally after millions of attempts found a lawyer that will handle our case against our neighbor and we have a very solid case (it's not that no lawyer wouldn't take it before it's just they either know him personally or they represented him - how many lawyers does one man need is beyond me).

Continuing on that happy path this week my sister will be joining us at Sunday Scrappin so watch for her post later. I'm so happy that she is really getting into this craft.

TA DA'S

Made 2 scrapbook pages of Dylan, but I am not happy with they way they turned out

Christmas card

These two photo's are what I created this past week for our Sunday Scrappin Challenge to make something mainly orange. I love these buckets, they are a $1.00 in the Halloween section at walmart and are so easy to alter. I picked up a few that I hope to get around to decorating to send to our nieces, nephew and my sister.

TA DO'S

Finish up and mail a swap that I am part of

Take part in some more challenges

Make a birthday card

Make some more Christmas cards (really need to sit down and make a list of how many I need)

Look into joining a new photography meme called SkyWatch

Alter some more pails for Halloween

This weeks Sunday Scrappin Challenge is to use something clear. It could be acetate used for a shaker card, an altered container that's clear, a piece of clear-ish vellum.... use your imagination! Here are a few tutorials if you need ideas. Hmmm.... I made an Acrylic Post-It Note Holder Last year that was fun and simple (can be seen here or maybe I'll make another Calender Here) probably a good idea to start thinking about those handmade Christmas gifts.

Fall Pilgrim

The leaves are finally starting to change colors. I love this time of year. We have a tree in our front yard that turns a vibrant red, I can't wait for the leafs to fully change on it. Our dog Buddy is the perfect fall color (yellow lab) so I can't wait for the leafs to fall for him to go out and play. This time of year there are so many gorgeous photo opportunities.

The card I made today is for 3 challenges. The first challenge is for Saturday Sketch Challenge (Love this sketch I have a birthday card idea using this sketch to - hope to work on that tomorrow), second is for the SBS18 Challenge to make a card with an Autumn Theme (I haven't played along with these girls in awhile), and lastly for the Sunday Scrappin Challenge to make something mainly orange. The pilgrim is a stamp I bought from Rubber Necker Stamps and the leafs in the squares are brads and the turkey in the square is a brad.
