Ok, I am addicted to Pinterest but have had so much fun finding ideas and recreating them. This is now our Halloween Mantle. I worked all weekend and made the apothecary jars and many other projects not seen in this picture. I added the spider web and spiders tonight and tada!!

Another Pinterest find. I used the Elegant Soiree DSP to make this lovely card. I stitched around the edges with my machine, used 3 punches total (scallop circle, scallop border and the petite pennants builder punch). I am so please with it and am going to use it in my Nov. WOW class.

Homecoming 2010-Maranda wore her lime green and zebra print mum to school and to the football game. This mum is so Maranda and she loved it.

Twirling Butterfly Easel card

OK, this was harder for me than I originally thought. I watched the technique video and decided to case the card. I set the Circle Scissors at 3 3/4" and began cutting. Needless to say, I have lots of wasted paper in my trash can. I made this card to a swap I am doing and it took me forever to get 9 completed cards that I was happy with. It is a beautiful card but hard to line up the circles when you cut the papers individually. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Occasionally I allow my mother to scrapbook on her own...this is one of the cards she brought me. She saw the idea in the Success magazine and made us a few. Thanks mom.
