Come share your creations with us!

Masquerade Mask

 -Unmask the Night Prom 2012

CFC May 2013 Calendar

For my calendar I used Anne's vase digi and Sandy's pitcher digi. Together with some doilies and flowers I created my May 2013 Anne & Sandy Calendar!

Inspired By Song

April is National Guitar Month and this week in the Greetings Challenges at The Outlawz we are challenging you to be inspired by song. For my calendar I used Anne's Digital image of a lantern and I am inspired by campfire songs. I have been doing a lot of planning for our camping trips this summer so I thought this calendar theme fit perfectly for some campfire music under the stars!

Masquerade Mask 2

Today we made a mask for her best friend. They are going to Prom together. Isn't it adorable! They are going to look so beautiful!

Masquerade Mask

Masquerade theme for this years Prom. My daughter researched what it would cost for a mask and she discovered it would cost nearly $100 to buy one. I told her I knew that my local hobby store carries items that she might be able to use to make her own mask. She was not to keen on the idea. A handmade mask? Oh great. She had a photo of a mask she liked and off to the store we went. Once we started it took us about 3 hours or so to finish. I think it looks fantastic! It looks even better in person and will match her dress perfectly!

National Stress Awareness Day!

In the Greetings challenge at The Outlawz we are challenging you with the perfect theme for this National holiday. The theme this week is Don't Stress- Distress! We sure do hope you stop by and share your creations!

PCP Recipe Swap

Over at Paper Craft Planet I joined in a House Mouse Card/Recipe swap in The HM Group. My swap partner Maria is living in Germany and this is the card and recipe I sent to her. I chose this card because I read she plays an instrument and I had made this card inspired by the song I love a rainy night by Eddie Rabbit for a previous challenge. The recipe has been a favorite in my family for as long as I can remember and I hope she loves it as much as we do!
