Well, I had intended to be a much better blogger this past week, but the week slipped away much too quickly. I'll give it another shot this week. ;) <br />

My sister asked that I make some holiday themed tags for her and I was happy to take on the job. Now, I must admit that I have not made many tags in the past, so I thought I'd surf the net for some ideas. Wow, did I see some beautiful creations! There was one tag in particular however, that really caught my eye. It was from the following gorgeous tag that I borrowed the tag layout.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGBHHsD-kwzNDz4CV4QNCtvuk7oN3M4foivulVysnlvL3vQQWvkm46nuqoEvlDW-rsF458V5JGQ8aPiL_jKvoN_6cd67i23T5MAP_Fnws8UTjbwVQM6xdHIiLKTig1cLmLHnOHRzPi0m0/s1600/tag4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="188" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGBHHsD-kwzNDz4CV4QNCtvuk7oN3M4foivulVysnlvL3vQQWvkm46nuqoEvlDW-rsF458V5JGQ8aPiL_jKvoN_6cd67i23T5MAP_Fnws8UTjbwVQM6xdHIiLKTig1cLmLHnOHRzPi0m0/s200/tag4.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Do you recognize these tags? I would love to credit the talented crafter who created these, but I saved only the photo, neglecting to take note of the site address from which they were found. Have you ever found a site you loved thinking you would stop by again? Easier said than done, I'm afraid if you haven't saved the address. :( I'm chalking this one up as a lesson learned.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the rest of the week...hoping to back with another post soon!<br />

<br />
I've been MIA for a bit folks, going to try to do little more posting before Christmas. This morning I'd like to share a card I made for <a href="http://humblepiestamps.blogspot.com/2010/11/monday-showcase_22.html">THE TOWN SCRAPPER'S SHOWCASE MONDAY</a>. The image featured is C.C. Designs' Swiss Pixie Nora. Nora is looking so sweet, all bundled-up, ready for the chilly winter weather.<br />

The card you'll find below features <a href="http://humblepiestamps.blogspot.com/">The Town Scrapper</a>'s exclusive Victoria Case image, Snowfriends. We are encouraging you to create a design without the use of embellishments for this week's <a href="http://humblepiestamps.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-bid-you-due.html">CHALLENGE</a>. Are you in? I must admit, I did find this request rather difficult. As you'll soon see, I added a little teeny bit of Polar White FLOWER SOFT to my card. Would this addition be considered an embellishment?? If it is, please forgive me, this one was a real toughy for me. :)<br />

Are you afraid of mice?TGIF!! I couldn't wait for this weekend to arrive. The boys are so excited to get dressed-up and head out the door on Sunday. This year my eldest has chosen to dress-up as Iron Man. No, he has not seen the movie, he is far too young...he'd be scared silly. I haven't seen it either, I'm a real chicken when it comes to anything a little scary. My middle guy had his heart set on Spiderman. Our nine month old (boy, time flies) will dress as a little bat. I will be sure to post a Halloween pic of the three boys all costumed-up.<br />
<br />
Now, on to my Halloween-themed cards. I made cards for each of the boys' teachers. Spiderman, or SPIDER HENRY was the ideal choice. WHIFF OF JOY offers this ADORABLE superhero as a FREE DIGI. He can be found <a href="http://katharina1704.blogspot.com/2010/05/surprise-free-whiff-of-joy-digi-stamp.html"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>...THANK YOU WHIFF OF JOY!!!<br />
<br />
As you'll see I used the same image for both cards, but changed-up the layouts a bit. I was absolutely dying to give double-sided adhesive sheets and glitter a shot. <a href="http://humblepiethetownscrapper.blogspot.com/">Phebe, the TOWN SCRAPPER</a>, generously provided me with some supplies so I was off to the races. Henry was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and odourless mineral spirits. The first card is based on a Mojo Monday card sketch. Here are my two similar guinea pig creations:<br />

<br />
I'd like to share a card I made for a friend's daughter. Now, I know it sounds a little silly and looks a teeny bit strange, but I wasn't sure what this little girl would be for Halloween this year, so I decided to dress her in a tutu because I know she started dance classes about a month ago. Do you think she looks a bit out of place on the front of this card? I agree, this image is not the slightest bit scary, but I hope this 3 year old little girl will recognize herself as the adorable tiny dancer.<br />
<br />
The sweet girl featured on the card is a <span style="font-size: large;">Wags 'n Whiskers'</span> stamp and is entitled Tiny Dancer. I can think of so many little girls for whom this image would be perfect. I believe she will also be making a number of Christmas card appearances...right off the Nutcracker Ballet stage!<br />

<br />
Just had to do a quick post to share the spicy, yet adorable, <strong><span style="font-size: large;">Annette</span></strong> with you! I picked-up a couple of <span style="font-size: large;">Kraftin' Kimmie's</span> little jems on Thanksgiving weekend and couldn't wait to ink them up. The sentiment on the card is from The Greeting Farm and the juicy lipstick kiss is My Favorite Things.<br />

Good Thursday Afternoon!<br />
<br />
Today, I thought I'd post a card I made for a special occasion in my littlest one's life. I fell in love with this image by Tina Wenke (Stampavie) when I first laid eyes on it. I picked-up this adorable stamp at the <a href="http://www.humblepiethetownscrapper.blogspot.com/">TownScrapper</a>. <br />
<br />
Phebe, owner of <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.humblepiethetownscrapper.blogspot.com/">The TownScrapper</a></span>, carries Stampavie as well as a wide assortment of unique stamps and wonderful supplies for all of one's crafting needs. Check out all the details of her AMAZING current sale <a href="http://humblepiestamps.blogspot.com/2010/05/showcase-monday.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
The image featured on the card pictured below is "Mouse in Nut Boat".<br />

I've used one of several Hanna stamps that I own. There were so many adorable images created by this company. It is my understanding that Hanna stamps are no longer available. :(<br />
<br />
Without further ado, here is the card....<br />

The patterned design papers are October Afternoon. The Paper Studio made the pink ribbon bow on Hanna's dress. Flowers are products of Prima. The brads are We R Memory Keepers and SEI.<br />
<br />
Gotta run... ;)<br />

I'm finding it quite challenging to say the least, to get my act together. Little Matthew is 4 months old now and growing like a weed. He is most definitely my easiest to care for. It is the care of my older two boys that is more demanding and eating up a good amount of my precious crafting/posting time....my ME time. ;) Any suggestions for retaining one's sanity while childrearing? :)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><strong>My first bit of exciting information is that</strong></span> <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><strong>The TownScrapper</strong></span> <span style="color: #134f5c;"><strong>is now in</strong></span> <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: small;">search of</span> additional Design Team Members</strong></span>!!! <br />

We are looking for Senior Design Team members, who have a passion for paper crafts, and rubber stamps ! Your coloring of stamped images should be your strength - whether it's with Copics, or watercolor, or any other medium. Previous Design Team experience is not necessary, but would be an asset.
