Scarecrow Wreath

I made this scarecrow and wreath many years ago from an idea in a crafty magazine. The poor little guy was falling off and the wreath was so ugly, so I found a nice grapevine wreath and re-made it! He is happy and secure now, and I can't wait to get this put up on my porch for the rest of the fall season! Thanks for looking!

Fall Punkins

I love these wood punkins that the grandkids helped make! We spent one Saturday painting, then the following weekend we finished them up! They are made from a 4 x 4 that was cut into chunks. I love the stems made from sticks! Thanks for looking!

Embossed Technique

This is actually an older card, and I've just kept it around because I think it's so beautiful. My friend Pam also helped with this background technique. We stamped and colored the flower, then embossed it with clear and colored the background. Thanks for looking!

Mixed Bunch

Here's a cute card made with the Stampin Up Mixed Bunch stamp set and punched with the corresponding punch. The background is stamped with soft suede and the border is punched. It has a solid color flower behind the main flower to create a shadow effect. Thanks for looking!

More Black Cats!

Look at this cute file from the new store at  Snapdragon Snippets! It's a simple cat box to put treats in! I made 7 so I can give them to the grandkids and the children of my co-workers! They really do go together in a "snap"! Thanks for looking!

Black Cats!

I saw this on Pinterest and couldn't resist, especially since one of my granddaughters is such a huge cat fanatic! The momma and young'un are made from a 2 x 4, and the papa is made from a 2 x 6. Simply paint them black, distress the edges, add the wiggly eyes and twine, and these cute kitties are done! I did spray paint clear matte acrylic over these so they could be left outside. Thanks for looking!
