Just wanted to say HI!!

It's been a very long time since we've blogged, almost two years actually! In october of 2011 our world was turned upside down by the death of my husband Sean. I was 7 months pregnant with our second son at the time....Sigh. But life has gone on and I believe I have held up very well and have even met a wonderful man! So I have got the Crafting in the pines new studio just about finished and am ready to start playing and crafting again! Happy crafting everyone!

Challenge

I decided to finally enter another challenge. So far Ive been very disappointed in hops, swaps, etc. Two that I have either entered or won I was gipped on so I decided not to do it again. But now Ive thought about Ill go into not expecting anything and I wont be disappointed!

The challenge is on Crazy about Cricut and its to make something with monsters involved and made with children if possible. I used Happy Hauntings ghost and PInk by design stamps.

Today I bring to you a card I made for my best friend and co-owner of Crafting In The Pines. I used the DCWV Harvest Gathering matstack Because these colors are my favorite! The stamp is an old one Ive had, no idea who makes it. Then I added Prima, and Bo Bunny bling! Enjoy!!!
