Thankful mini album

Good Afternoon Bloggers! Today I want to share with you all a "Thanksgiving mini album". Last year I started this tradition and my family loves it, so it's here again! On day 7 of thanksgiving, I give each of them a mini book/album. Everyday they are to write down what they are thankful for. Then during supper on thanksgiving day, we all share our week of thanks! 

They can write down that they are thankful for making it to work on time, Gods amazing grace, passing an exam etc.  This is something that I cherish and I hope will be passed down for many generations. 

Here's the first mini book of the season with several more to follow. 

Front cover 

Inside pages 1&2

Inside pages 3&4

Back cover. 

All images came from the silhouette design studio and the stamp set is the "Blessings of Autumn" hostess reward set from close to my heart. 

Thanks for stopping by and please share your family tradition with me. 

Regards,

Thankful Thanksgiving holiday themed card

Happy Sunday! Before I scurry to service this am, I want to share with you a quick card I made last night for this upcoming thanksgiving season. All the materials used are from my stash. 

This turned out so pretty to me. I just LOVE the embossing and that's one of my favorite Tim Holtz embossing folders. 

The sentiment on the inside is "Blessings Of Autumn" close to my heart "hostess rewards" set, item #C1634. 

Below is a picture of all the materials used.

I also used my big shot die cut/embossing machine, wink of Stella brush marker, foam dots  and bling. 

Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions or would like to place an order for any of the featured CTMH products used, please visit my online store @ sharondalynn.ctmh.com. 

Thanks and have a blessed season of thanks!

Camping birthday cards!

Hello! Happy November! WOW is all I can say! It's already November 4 and here I'm just now blogging about it! Time sure does get away!

Anyway, today I have my son birthday party invites to share with you all. In just 22 more days, I'll be the mother to a 13 year old boy. He's brought my husband and I so much joy! His heart is so pure and the love he has for our savior is remarkable! 

This year he's up for adventure and we are going on an over night camping trip!

Yes you read that correct! LOL! 

So here are the invitations...

This file came from the silhouette design store.

Halloween buckets, bottles and cards!

I can't believe that in just two days it will be Halloween. Where oh where does the time go? Before I know it, it will be Valentine's Day!!!! Time passes much too fast nowadays. The older I get the faster time flies! 

Anyway, today I have some special little crafts I created for some cute and adorable little boys. My good friend sits for three little pumpkins during the day while their parents work. Tomorrow she's bringing them over to my house to trick or treat. So what better way to great them than with cute little Halloween buckets! 

See below.. 

I've got tons of candy, toys and goodies to fill them with. Don't believe me? Take a look...

I'm expecting tons of kids this year and hope I don't run out of goodies.

Everyone have a fun and safe holiday!

Happy Halloween scrapbook layout

It's Tuesday and today's project is a one page layout featuring the "Nevermore" paper from close to my heart. I think it's safe to say that I only have very few scraps left and will be making  mini cards or tags with those.

So here's my project... 

I took some close ups of the embossing work I did. Was experiencing technical difficulties with my devices so I had to do "retro" crafting and use my original expression machine with cartridges! Yikes!!! 

Anyway, that's what started it all for me and I was easily reminded of how much I "love" looking in those little Cricut books for inspiration. Too often I've said that crafting on a computer was too distracting, and that proved it!!!LOL

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my project and it inspires you to create something similar. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Sincerely, 

Sharondalyn!!!
