Noel Greetings

Back with the second of two of the Noel Greetings paper pumpkin kit

this month.  Timeless and simplistic and easy to assemble. 

This is my favorite of the two, I love anything gingerbread houses.

To elevate this card a bit I added glitter to the inside of the windows

and then little dots of snow falling outside.

Gives it that added little magic it needed to pop.

Don't be afraid to alter your kit cards to your liking or to

just push your creative side.  You get all these pieces to

work with and be sure to add to your cards things you might

already have on hand.  Great way to us up those small

things laying around.  Happy crafting! 

Gordon Skagit Farm

Gordon Skagit Farms

Have you been?

It's located in the Skagit Valley and boasts 150 varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds,

As you enter the farm there are many outbuildings and barns and little corners of goodness.

Every part of the property comes alive with every step.

From what I understand the paintings throughout the farm 

are painted by the owner, as you can see he is quite talented. 

As you wandering path to path you are delighted with all the colors

and vignettes created.  

more of the paintings .....

they also give you recipe for a pumpkin bisque soup you can make.

There is also a corn maze and sunflower patch

and how clever is this!

these marigolds lined the entire entry way of one of the barns. 

This room was a drying room for all the flowers they grow,

it appears they also offer wreath making classes.

You must go and stroll through the beauty of the fall season.

Don't forget to stop by the bakery they have onsite, I believe

it's called Indulge out of Mount Vernon.  It does not disappoint!

This month's pretty Paper Pumpkin

"Noel Greetings"

And you know me,  I had to put my own spin on it by changing 

it up just a tad.

There are two card styles in this kit, so stay tuned for number

two.... This one is a pretty wreath, I added some glitter

to the greens to jazz it up. And changed the greeting.

Other than that there you have it! 

Are you thinking about christmas cards yet?

too early? 

Halloween decor

Happy thursday

Sharing a little Halloween decor today.

I went with more of a muted color palette this year and decided

to lean more on the fall side of things with exception to the cutie

ghosts!

This fresh dahlia bouquet is most likely the last one of the 

season.  Some of my most favorite colors for the fall.

I've shown this wreath before, I purchased it on Etsy then

diy'd the ghost to add to the center of the wreath. 

Can you tell I have a ghost theme going on over here?

These ghost lights are super easy to make, just pick yourself

up some gauze from the dollar tree.

Wrap them around your light and secure it with a safety pin. 

Add some black paper oval eyes and there you go! 

I love to leave them on glowing throughout the day

and into the evening.  So festive and cute! 

Canyon Frights!

Happy monday!

This was such a fun adventure!

We headed north to Vancouver, Canada for the Canyon Frights held at the Capilano Suspension bridge. 

The entire property was decked out in lights, skellies and pumpkins. 

This was the entrance

Every "witch" way we turned there were skellies everywhere. 

These skellies are placed right at the beginning of the suspension bridge walk to cheer us on!

As the day went into dusk all the lights started to pop.

This is right before we went across the bridge. 

The view point is after we hiked to the bottom and looked up,

I believe it's 650 ft below. 

Love this cool owl.

Go! check this out

It's the Capilano suspension bridge in Vancouver, Canada

It was so frightfully fun!

Whimsical Halloween take 2

Happy friday!

And welcome back to round two of the not so scary halloween

card idea for the weekend!

I've seen so much of the summerween and pink halloween decor

that I thought earlier this week it would be fun to create a more

whimsical halloween card using the "cute as a bug" designer 

series paper and "frightfully fun" designer paper for the ghosts.

This is my second designer with the ghosts frolicking amongst

the danelions.

Sweet and easy and just a touch of glitter to soften the spook!

What do you think?

Are you making any creative halloween cards or diy this weekend? 

Whimsical Halloween

Let's a take a look at how you can make a whimsical halloween 

card.  They all don't have to be scary!

I got out the Cute as a bug" designer series paper and cut

out the outdoor greens pieces.

I cut out the little ghosts from the halloween paper

call "Frightfully fun!" designer paper. 

You already have the perfect outdoor background, now

cut out your ghost and place him where ever you want. 

Super cute and not so scary.....
