Pancreatic cancer awearness

Hi to all my crafty friends
  Today is DCD Tuesday challenge. Unfortunately blogger is acting up and I had to write this using my iPhone. This weeks challenge is a sketch who doesn't love a great sketch to get those creative minds going. I made a card using mostly purple. Purple is the color of pancreatic cancer awearness which happened to be my grandmas favorite color also. She just passed away in September from that horrible disease. So I made this card in her honor. I will forever love and miss you gramma. Sorry I couldn't post picture but I will continue to try to get it working. For now you can visit me on face book and take a look in the meantime:) thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting, nikki

Yay!! Blogger is back! Here is my card I made in honor of my Grandma...

Halloween crafts

Hi to all my crafty friends
  Boy is this a busy week. With all the fun Halloween adventures I've been so busy. I finished putting up all my final decorations to give the trick or treater's a little scare. Made all 66 treat bags for my two daughters class parties, which I will post tomorrow for you guys to see:) I also made two cute Halloween projects for my DT challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas . This weeks challenge was anything goes so I decided to do just a few more Halloween projects before its over. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting, Nikki

First project is a frame I bought at Michael's in the $ bin. I just loved how easy it was to decorate with all my Stampin' Up! products.

This project i used a block from oriental trading that I had packed in my closet collecting dust. I covered it in DSP from SU and added fun Halloween stamps, punches and embellishments to make it spooktacular..

Birthday time..

Hi to all my crafty friends
  Today is a very special day. It's my oldest daughters 9th birthday!!! I can't believe how fast she grew up. Over the weekend we had a party with our friends and family and the kids had a blast. We went to this indoor trampoline place and let them jump there lil butts off lol!! Well the number one thing on her list this year was the new "ipod touch 5G" so we searched everywhere and finally found one and decided to save it as a surprise for her actual birthday day. Even though it was hard watching her get a little sad at her party because she didn't get it. I think this surprise will make it worth the wait:) Here is a card I made to go with it. I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting, Nikki

           Happy 9th Birthday Haylee, we love you so much!!!
