I used to be so good at keeping it up.<br />
<br />
As I may have mentioned in the past, I am in a swap group on Facebook. There is a monthly swap held there. A couple months ago we did Pocket Letters. Ya know, the latest paper crafting craze. They are lots of fun. I had never done them before, heck never even heard of them before that but I went for it and jumped in the fire. I decided to do what I call a "scene" page using background pages from <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/181269953721261656/">DCWVs "All Dolled Up" stack</a> and Julie Nutting Prima Doll Stamps. I will post those at the end of this.<br />
<br />
I wanted to do some more Pocket Letters so I found a group on Facebook, "Pocket Letters Pals", then I found the website of the same name. I joined a Halloween PL swap. It had to be sent out 5 days later which I kinda liked because it pushed me to get on it right away.<br />
<br />
I used We R Memory Keepers "Heebie Jeebies" paper collection. Paper, die cuts, stickers and stamps. I also used an Impression Obsession die for the jar or eyeballs and I made the charms hanging off the side. I just love how it turned out & I hope my partner does too.<br />

I included a Starbucks gift card with it. She is a good friend from junior high, we reconnected several years ago. She made my day when she opened it. She said she had seen my tumblers on my FB page and hoped I'd make her one. How awesome is that?!<br />

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<br />
In June we swapped birthday cards for a child. Boy or girl, our choice. So I did half and half. My original thought was to use real Popsicle sticks but I thought it might look weird having them glued to the back of the card so I used a woodgrain background stamp Versamark ink. I like the results. The Popsicle SVG is from the Summer Treats collection at <a href="http://www.letteringdelights.com/">Lettering Delights</a>. I added the faces and speech bubbles to their card base.<br />

These are the ones I made so far.....the first two tumblers were end of the school year gifts for my sons bus drivers, the last one was a birthday gift for a friend. Then I made a coffee mug for my friend Linda who is a HUGE fan of the Time Bandit of Deadliest Catch fame. I made a custom jar for my cousins awesome homemade bbq sauce, now I need to make HIM one.<br />

I'm in another fabulous swap in the new "Paper Girls" swap group on Facebook. There were two again this month so I gave them both a try.....altered clothespins and Project Life filler cards. I don't do Project Life but I might eventually so I figured why not. lol<br />
<br />
I am in love with Graphic 45's "On The Boardwalk" collection. It's an oldie but a goodie. Summer's coming so I was inspired to use that line for my pins. Of course I had to be a dork and do them all different which seemed to take forever. Next time I'm making em all the same.<br />

These are my project life cards. I used an A*Muse stamp set on them and a Lori Whitlock file for the postcard base, the heart is a wood veneer I ordered online. I was really happy with how well the white A*Muse embossing powder works. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">During my search for Minnie Mouse images I fell in love with this vintage Minnie. I just had to make something featuring her and all her vintage cuteness. A coordinating bottle cap necklace and earring set fit the bill!</span><br />

Well not really sophisticated, lol it's for swappers who do GOOD work and like sending out QUALITY items. If you've been in a swap before, I'm sure you know what I am talking about. I've been in some doozies where most of the stuff ended up in the 'round file'. SMH<br />
<br />
Anyway the group is a lot of fun and the members are quite talented. We just finished our first swap. There were two.....Project Life Cards and Masculine Birthday Cards. I did the birthday cards since I don't do Project Life. Yet. LOL<br />
<br />
Most anyone who knows me, knows I am in love with the mustache fad that is happening right now SO I decided to make my cards with a mustache of some sort. When I came across the mustache embossing folder I got last year I knew I had to use it! So with the embossing folder, some mustaches cut with my Pazzles Inspiration, some cardstock, stamps, some twine and my cards were born! And boy are they cute. I'm so NOT conceited when it comes to my crafts, but I am really pleased with how they came out.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">~I used the "<a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_97/Half-Flower.htm">Half Flower</a>" file and welded the 2 flowers and centers together to make this Mothers Day card. Then I created the base in the Pazzles Inspiration software. Peachy Keen stamps are used for the face.~</span><br />

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
April is Autism Awareness Month!<br />
<br />
I thought it was a great time to use the awesome "I love someone with Autism" file from Scraptastical Kreations.</div>
</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used an unpainted IKEA wooden frame along with the file (you can find it here: <a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_223/I-heart-Someone-with-Autism-Title.htm" target="_blank">I <3 Someone With Autism</a>) to make this altered frame in honor of my 12 year old son who is Autistic. It was really easy and fun to make. He liked it so much it is now on a shelf in his bedroom.</div>

<br />
My youngest son is Autistic and attends a classroom of 8 Autistic children. His teacher and aides do a hard, but rewarding job so to show our appreciation I always make some kind of treat for holidays and special occasions. When I saw the Peep-esque style bunny in the <a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_202/Easter-Cuties.htm" target="_blank">"Easter Cuties"</a> cutting file set I knew exactly what I was going to do. I should add that the bunny comes with eyes and nose to cut out but I was not enjoying the thought of gluing 14 tiny sets of eyes and noses so I drew them on with a Sharpie. lol<br />
<br />
Using the bunny and eggs from the "Easter Cuties" set I made gift tags for his classmates Easter gift of candy and bubbles. Then I used the bunny and eggs to make treat topper bags that hold a Peeps bunny. I even made one for his bus drivers using yellow peeps. I figured men would rather have yellow than pink. hehe They all said they loved their treats and I even got a hug from the morning driver. :-)<br />

Let's not forget his bus drivers too! The treats doubled as my latest<a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/" target="_blank"> Scraptastical Kreations</a> design team project. Nice, huh?<br />
<br />
For the classroom staff I made "Leprechaun Poop" treats. lol When I came across the poem online I couldn't resist. I created the little packet using my Pazzles Inspiration software and I used the bear leprachaun from the <a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_394/Pure-Luck.htm" target="_blank">"Pure Luck"</a> cutting file.<br />

I was trying to avoid giving his classmates candy since they get so much of it from other kids. Mustaches are really popular right now so when I found them at Party America and the straws right next to them I decided to make the kids mustache straws. Daegens teacher said the kids had a blast drinking their juice thru them at the St Pattys Day classroom party.<br />

I am excited to announce that I, along with 7 other scrappy ladies are now the newest members of the <a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/" target="_blank">Scraptastical Kreations</a> Design Team! </div>
<br />
<a href="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c109/bigmamakaboose/blogsiggy.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a>Lots of thanks to Kristy for believing in me enough to ask me to be a part of her awesome team. I look forward to this new adventure and getting to know my new DT sisters.<br />
<br />
I wanted to design something for the occasion so I decided on the <a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_98/Beary-O-Bears.htm" target="_blank">"Beary O Bears"</a> pattern found<a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_98/Beary-O-Bears.htm" target="_blank"> here</a>. We love Super Mario in this house and this set will soon be retiring so I wanted to get my hands on it before it's gone.<br />
<br />
My son Anthony is a BIG Anime fan. He goes to FanimeCon once a year. If you have no idea what I am talking about (I didn't know what it was til 3 years ago lol), Anime fans go to the convention dressed up as their favorite Anime or video game characters. It's quite a show and a great place to people watch. Ant is dressing up as Super Mario this year so I decided to make him some "contact cards" that he can hand out to new friends he makes, as a way for them to contact him later.<br />

I cut the backgrounds at 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (typical ATC card size). Then cut the characters to fit. Matted them, printed FanimeCon 2013 on the front along with my sons contact info on the back.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When it comes to holidays and fun days like Valentines, etc I always make something for Daegens teacher, aides and classmates. He's in an Autism classroom with only 8 students so it makes it pretty easy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I made these cute Hershey nugget holders for the classroom staff and they really liked enjoyed them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The tags and candy wrappers are a free printable file from <a href="http://www.fleecefun.com/" target="_blank">FleeceFun.com</a>. Just print and cut! I cut the wrappers out using my paper trimmer and I used a Spellbinder scallop square die to make the tags a bit cuter. Incase you're wondering I used Wilton pretzel bags from JoAnns and square Wilton sucker bags for the cookies below.</div>
<br />

I wanted to avoid giving his classmates candy, so I baked some Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies. They were just a box mix from the store that I added the chips to. The cute Turkey tag on the front of the package was a free cupcake topper printable from <a href="http://www.kate.net/" target="_blank">www.Kate.net</a>. I used it as a package embellishment instead. Again I used a Spellbinder die, the scallop circle.</div>

I love Halloween and ANYTHING skulls. October is my time of year, tho I enjoy skulls year round. They are one of my guilty pleasures. So in this post I'm just going to share some Halloween crafts I made this month. If you have any questions about any of them, feel free to post and I'll get back to you. =)<br />
<br />
I hosted a Halloween themed ATC swap in a swapping group I own on Facebook. I used the Tim Holtz Bell Jar die, his Halloween stamps and embossing folder, acrylic (Cricut cartridge clamshell package) and heat embossing powder. I love how it turned out.<br />

This was a design team project. I used the supplied paper from Teresa Collins "Haunted Hallows" collection.</div>
I got the acrylic pendant setting from a craft sale and it just happened that oval Epiphany Crafts punch fit the opening. Added a few rhinestones and a bow, put it on a black chain and called it down. I get compliments on it every time I wear it.<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This month I hosted another ATC swap, this time it was your favorite movie or tv show. We had a good turn out of some really cute cards and nobody flaked this time! lol </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of my fave movies<i> ever </i>is MASK starring Cher. It's the story of a <span style="line-height: 18px;"> teenager with a massive facial skull deformity and his biker gang mother who attempts to help him live as normal a life as possible under the circumstances. It makes me laugh and cry every time I see it. If you haven't seen it, check it out. You won't be disappointed.</span></span></div>

So when I was asked to design something Halloween themed for <a href="http://ahomespunaffair.blogspot.com/2012/10/downtown-tape.html" target="_blank">A Homespun Affair</a> October sponsor <a href="http://www.downtowntape.com/" target="_blank">Downtown Tape</a>, I jumped at the chance. I'd never used washi tape before so I did a little research and WOW there are soooo many things you can do with the stuff! I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't easy at first trying to figure out what to create for Halloween using dot and flower patterned tape. After hours of Googling, Pinteresting & smoke coming out of my ears, I came up with this altered frame using the popular and trendy 'washi tape' & I love the end result! </div>

This frame happens to be a $1 unfinished frame from Michaels, but you can use any frame you like. You could also put a photo in the middle instead of embelleshing the center.</div>

Pop Dots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Googly Eyes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How I did it:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started by painting the frame white. When dry I adhered the washi tape diagonally with spaces between each strip, overlapping the tape to the back of the frame for a more finished look. Next I cut the owl at 3", the bat at 2" and "BOO" at 1.5". I embossed a 3"x3" piece of cardstock using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and adhered it to the backing that goes in the center of the frame. For the owls body I put a couple strips of washi tape on the cardstock before cutting it on the Cricut then assembled the cuts, adding googly eyes for a fun effect. For dimension I adhered all three cuts using pop dots. I placed the pearls on two sides of the frame opening and called it done.</div>

Thank you, <a href="http://www.downtowntape.com/" target="_blank">Downtown Tape</a> for the chance to work with your wonderful product. It was my first time working with washi tape. I found it fun, versatile and easy to work with. Definitely something I'll be adding to my ever growing collection of supplies.</div>

I recently joined a new group on Facebook that does some different swaps. One of the ladies <a href="http://joystamper.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Linda</a> is hosting her first swap. It's an ATC swap. I've made 2 ATCs in the past so I thought this would be a good way to jump into the group. I'm just sharing what I created.</div>
