Hi everyone,
Last week we had play group and I decided to do some paper pumpkins for Lucas' friends. I got this cute SVG file here , but she also sells pdf if you don't have SCAL.

I want to say that I put a bunch of stamps from unity stamps, flourishes and TAC and other brands to sell some unity stamps are $0.99 you can find it HERE.


I hope it's warm where you are because here it's getting cold.

Thanks

Card Box

Hi everyone , today finally my a/c and furnace is being replaced , the bad thing is that I have half of the house and a toddler who cant walk everywhere. I don't like to have this people going in and out but I want my a/c back.

Anyway , the good thing to have SCAL is to have the ability to have tons of free designs and designs you can buy I'm not a box maker so you won't see that in my free files but I love boxes, so here is one I bought from My time made Easy, she has the cutest boxes, these will have some cards but I didn't have time to finish them yet. The sentiments is from her store also. And she has a scal file to mat the stamp how cool is that?!

I was accept to a local craft fair, I'm very excited about that, still some time till the fair but I will start to do a lot of cards and things for it, and some related to gift giving and Xmas because it will be in December.

I will come back Friday with tags I will be teaching at Create Scrapbooks Friday !

Bo Bunny Press - It's My Party Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - It's My Party Presents

Really a great collection, not as easy to find.
I wanted me and Carlos to write wishes for Lucas, so I designed Journaling  for that, and you can download the pdf comes with 3 journaling cards, wishes from mommy, wishes from daddy and wishes for you. You can download it  HERE.

Also, I wanted to do some balloons, so I created a svg file that if you have SCAL , you can use to cut once you import the file to scal use break apart to make the 2 ballons separate. One of the ballons on SCAL I  added number 1 .
