Dancing With the Stars

Okay, so I'm not a huge fan of the show, but I have to say seeing it live and in person it was a beautiful show. The costumes are gorgeous and so are the dancers wearing them. We didn't look so bad ourselves. This is out by the fountain at the Grove in Los Angeles after seeing the show being taped (well, actually it's live on the East Coast). My dress was a huge hit...I got plenty of compliments. Thanks again to my friend Marisa for loaning it to me! I'll be posting some pics of this year's scrap calendar later on this week.

Happy Stamping,

Halloween Door Decor

This is a Decor Elements Vinyl applique on a frame. I change the paper behind it every month. The card is actually one that I got at a swap from the last demonstrator meeting that I went to. Isn't it so cute. To learn more about decor elements click here.

Spooky Stamping,

Halloween Treats

Here is a jar of eyeballs. They are Rolo's candies with 3/4" white circles half of a 3/4" circle of Always Artichoke and 1/2" Basic Black Circle. The stamp set I used for the lid is called "Batty for You"

This little treat bag is also the "Batty For You" stamp set.

I used the small cello bags and the one on the right is inside a 3x3 envelope and the one on the left is a 3"x6" piece of Whisper White folded over the bag.

Spooky Stamping,

Preschool For the Boys

This is Tyler in front of the school. He looks so handsome...and so cool!!

This is Luke with his cool "sunny's" on. Doesn't he look so grown up?!?!?!

I can't believe how quickly time flies!! Luke and Tyler started preschool on September 1st. They are going 2 days a week and have loved it so far. Tyler went as far as to say that school is his favorite place to go. I didn't cry, neither did they. I just got a little lump in throat.
Above are pictures of the boys on the first day. OKAY...SO, IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO EDIT AND MOVE PHOTOS WHEN POSTING THESE BLOGS...I NEED HELP!! NOTICE THE 2 PICTURES OF THE LITTLE BACKPACK??? HOW CAN I ERASE ONE OF THEM?????

Here are photos of the mini-backpacks that I made for their teacher and the aid. I put a little purse size hand sanitizer in it...the staple of this time of year! It is the "Bag with scallop" Sizzix Die Cut that I cut out with the Big Shot Machine. It's so cute and so easy!




Happy Stamping. ~Krista

Happy Birthday Bag

This is a simple gift bag I put together for my friend. She wanted something to put her mother's gift in and I whipped this up. I just love Old Olive...it's my "go to" color.

Aloha...

It's been over 2 weeks since I returned from Hawaii. I can't believe how quickly time flies, especially when you come home and get so busy with life. It was a great trip! I made myself relax and not plan ANYTHING! I need to do that every now and then so that way I refocus on what is most important. Looking around at all of the things that God has blessed me with including a wonderful husband, two great kids, a home and all of life's necessities. WOW! Thank you God for everything...just typing that brings a tear to my eye! God is so good!!! Here are a few pictures from our fantastic vacation to the island of Kauai!

I promise to post at least 2 or more times a week. My next post will be some of the projects I have been working on lately. Lots of good stuff!! :)
