Hello friends, Hope you had a great weekend! The hubby and I went to Dave and Busters yesterday. One just opened not far from us and we had such a great time. For those of you that don't know, Dave and Busters is a huge restaurant / video arcade place for not only kids but adults as well. What did you do? I wanted to pop in to share a card I made for the latest AE October Sketch Challenge . I just love the sketch this month and couldn't wait to play along. The winner will receive a guest spot for a month. How cool is that? Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Brandi

Hello friends, I wanted to pop in to share a card I made for the latest Muse Challenge #40.  The Muse this week is a fun and crafty lady named Darnell.  She is one of the friendliest bloggers I know and she always tells the funniest stories on her blog. I was inspired by her card in many ways. First I looked at it as a sketch and rotated it on its side. I created the landscape (water, ground and grass) with layered paper, which was inspired by her layered patterned paper. I hope you can see what inspired me! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hello crafty friends... Sorry it has been so long since I have last posted. I have been super busy. My dad and his friend came up to visit the hubby and I in New York for a week. He is from Arkansas and hasn't flown in 39 years! He was so nervous with flying but after he did it, he claimed that the worrying was all in his head and flying was no big deal. LOL! Hopefully this means more trips to come. I had sometime last night to create a card with some of my new Avery Elle stamps. I love these flower images. They are so pretty. I know this card looks like a Spring card in lieu of Fall but hey whatever works, right? I really need to get a jump on my Christmas cards because I have yet to make a single one. On my last post I noted that I had went from blond to brunette and some of you asked for a pic. Well here it is. This actually is my natural color believe it or not. I kept thinking to myself that hey my eyebrows now match my hair. LOL! Thanks for stopping by, Brand

Hello friends, Hope your having a great weekend so far and was able to get your craft on yesterday for WCMD! I was able to craft a little bit but then I had a hair appointment to go from blond to brown. It is drastic but I love it. My boss needed a baby card for someone she knows so she asked if I would make her one. This is what I came up with. I used various patterned papers that I thought worked well together. Fingers crossed that she likes it. Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Good morning and Happy World Card Making Day to my crafty friends out there! I wanted to make a Fall themed card for today because it is in the air, where I live. I am drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte as I type. I bought this cute wreath set from Avery Elle during their recent release and I just love it! I added a few sequins for some flair. I wanted to enter this card into a couple of challenges Addicted to CAS #23  and CAS-ual Fridays #116 . What are you doing for WCMD? Thanks for stopping by, Brandi
