Baking Cookies

Every month we have a cut file swap on the TSI Forum. I thought of one thing we do around Christmas time at our house that we take pictures of ......that needs a special embellishment to complete a layout. We always bake during this time and Ashlynn just loves to help. Austin always seems to show up in time to lick the spoon but that's ok! Here's what I cut for this round and I cut plenty before the swap sign-up deadline commenced so I have a few extra. For every person that comments on this post I will enter your name in a drawing for a set that will be mailed to you. To be eligible, all comments must be posted by Tuesday, December 15. Why not enjoy them in your scrapbook too?

SWAPS!

What have I been up to lately (or shall I say most of November)? A LOT of crafting! I have completed a Christmas-themed cut file swap, a Christmas card swap, a birthday perpetual calendar (for ME!) and most recently a 12-days of Christmas swap. I can only reveal one of these projects for now....and it's still a mystery. As the swaps are all received, I will share photos with you. For now though, I will share with you a sample of what I sent out in today's mail for our forum's 12-Days of Christmas swap. For now this is all I can share. My gift is #10 and it will be opened by all of the swap members on December 22. I can't wait to start opening the daily gifts....it will be here before we know it!

Happy Halloween!

Here's a layout of Halloween 2005 when Austin was 5. He loved his dinosaur costume and enjoyed all of the activities that went along with Halloween at his preschool. They decorated pumpkins and after the parade at school he was able to take his home. He insisted I take it to work and put it on my desk so that explains why there is a picture of me on this layout! I completed this layout for a challenge I hosted on the TSI Forum during the month of October and thought with the holiday approaching it was a good time to share it on here! Karon

Learning Lessons

Earlier this summer I signed up to host (and participate in) a 25-card swap with members of the That's Scrap Inc. forum. All 25 members had 3 months to complete their cards and the deadline is quickly approaching...it's August 31. So I didn't think I was procrastinating since I started these cards the last week of July. That's a whole month early, right? Well silly me, I found the coolest idea for a card and decided to scraplift it. Did I consider what this would all entail????? That's a big fat NO. I am almost done but thought I'd give you a sneak peek of what I've been playing around with. Kathy whined because this is all I showed her....you probably will too LOL!

Happy Birthday card

I always love it when I can find more than one use for a file I acquire. I took the birthday cake from the Party Time Bundle by Joanne6523 to make this fun birthday card. I made the card for a swap on the TSI Forum. I had fun with stickles on this one, as you can tell! Thanks for looking! Karon
