Apple of My Eye

Can you believe it is already the last day of September? I don't know where this month went, but it sure went fast for us. I think it was a busy one between having visitors and work picking up. But that means that we can start getting ready for Halloween, right? We have a couple of weeks before we start our Halloween projects on here, but in the meantime, we have a week of apple-themed projects for you. Who doesn't love going out to the orchard and picking some (or a lot) of crunchy, juicy apples this time of the year? And being in Washington, I think it's kind of necessary, right?! Here's today's project.

I love the Create-a-Critter cartridge. There are so many stinkin' cute images on it. This card would definitely brighten up someone's day!

Cupcake Satuday!

Welcome to another Cupcake Saturday! We hope everyone is having a great weekend, along with the first week of fall. Maybe spending the day raking or foliage-gazing? Today, we have a cupcake that just *screams* fall! We call these Harvest Spice Cupcakes with a Chai Buttercream.

For these, we made a spiced cake, with all of the spices of the season. The frosting is absolutely delicious! It is a buttercream frosting, with the flavors of Chai tea. It tastes exactly like the tea. We used a vanilla Chai to make it. These cupcakes have a surprising kick to them, which is bound to keep you warm!
Thanks for stopping by! We hope you come back tomorrow, when we start a new theme week!

Oh Deer...

Happy Friday, everyone! We hope a fabulous week was had by all. So, we had a change of plans. The original project we wanted to share with you didn't dry in time. And we had a whole bunch of different ideas and projects that we were working on, which is why this post is later than normal, but the remembered that we had to make a few birthday cards this week. This particular one is a belated birthday card for our high school track coach. He's one of those people who has a really nice garden, but the deer tend to eat at it. He always has another story about this animal or that eating at his plants. He also happens to be our neighbor, so we know which deer are the culprits! (Kinda miss those deer....not a lot of them out here. I think we've seen two since we moved.)

What a cute little guy, huh?! I don't know about you, but deer and fall seem to fit together pretty well. The little deer is multi-layered, so it pops out off the card. Just for another added touch! Anyway, the inside of the card says, "We missed your birthday". We hope he likes it! Now, just to get it off in the mail...

We entered this card in the MojoMonday challenge here.
Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully we'll get the original project done soon so we can share that. Stop by tomorrow for another delicious round of Cupcake Saturday!

Whoo's at the Door?!

Good morning! We hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. I don't know about elsewhere, but it's definitely is starting to look more and more like fall here. There are a few trees that seem to be getting more colorful with each day. And today's project is going to add some more fall colors to our little abode! (I am aware that it is a silly title, but it seemed appropriate!!)

How cute is this wreath?! I wish we could actually hang it up outside so people could see it, but I don't think it would last too long out there...Oh well, better inside! This one came out much different than I had originally planned, but each time I look at it, I love it more! Once I figured out what I was doing, it was super quick to put together. I think it encompasses the "fall theme", or at least the colors! The little owl is flanked on either side by some sunflowers (I hope they look like them...)

Don't you love when you have an idea, don't know how to do it, and then it all ends up coming together for the final product?? That's what happened with the sunflowers, and they came out even better than I had expected. I can't wait to make more for other projects! I already have a list of them :)
These wreaths are so fun and versatile. We've been slacking on them! I think we need a new one for each week...OK, maybe not...
Anyway, thanks for stopping by! Tomorrow's project is a sister-inspired, pinterest project. (It's not as confusing as it sounds!!)

Fall Friends!

Hi everyone! We have some fall friends to share with you today! I think these critters would be cute around a festive table.

We have an owl, a turkey, a squirrel and a crow today. After the success of our Superhero bags on etsy, we thought we might make some more with different themes. These are part of the fall set. We have some more that go with it that we'll share with you another time.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fall Fun!

Morning, all! I hope you are all having a fantastic week so far. Today's project is a quick little card set. There's nothing like getting mail just for fun. No bills, no junk mail, no fliers, just a nice note. And it always feels good to send them out to friends and family, knowing you'll brighten up their mailbox. Well, these are perfect for just that!

The cards are 4 inch squares with a festive fall border around the outside. The insides are different rub-ons with fall sayings. There isn't a lot of room to write in the middle, but for a quick note, they're just the thing!
We added this project to the SOUS challenge here.

We've also been busy updating our Etsy shop. We've added some holiday items, along with some everyday cards.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Harvest!

I hope everyone is having a good Monday so far and had a great weekend! Today's project is a banner we made to hang up on our mantle.

It was a really quick project to make. (Don't you love when you can add color to any room with a simple project?!) The hardest part was deciding where to put the flourishes, which after alternating them and gluing them on, I decided would've looked best all at the bottom. Oh well. Anyway, hope you like it!
