More Halloween Costumes...
I could not just share my daughter's costume with everyone, These are my BOYS...
MAC(right) & MYLES(left)
The boys had to be something scary & gory!!
Mac is Jason from Friday 13th
Myles is The Grim Reaper
A few weekend's ago we rented some scary movies, like Friday 13th & Night Mare on Elm Street! Well the kids were not IMPRESSED OR SCARED!!
It has been a while since Jason & I had seen these movies....
and boy are they CHEESY!! They used to scare me to death and I had nightmares back in the DAY.... I guess with technology, movies today are cooler then what we grew up with! I feel SO OLD at 33......
Have a SAFE & HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Halloween Costumes!!!
This is my beautiful daughter Madeline she is 11 going on 25!! She is dressed as a Dark Fairy!!
My Mother made this costume with Madeline's assistance. My mom is so talented, I can't even get the sewing machine threaded!! I guess Maddy will get the sewing bug, I guess it skips a generation. My sister Abigail is a fashion designer in LA, she is an awesome designer!!
Me I'm just a MOM, PAPERCRAFTER, STAMPER & SCRAPBOOKER!!
So I guess we are all crafty in our own way!!

Bud Basics & Cutie Pie!!
I love my Bud Basics stamp set, I was so happy and surprised to see it in the SU catalog!
It was originally in one of the Mini Catalogs, I think spring or winter of 2006.
I made this cute 3 x 3 card using Rose Red! I also used DSPaper Cuitie Pie, which is so awesome! The first time I saw cards using the DSPpaper Cutie Pie, I thought that is so cute but it's not Stampin' Up! so I would never use it. Boy was I wrong...it is SU paper!!! Yeah, now I can't stop using it!!!
I also LOVE altering anything that can be altered. I save all my kool aid & pringles containers, my MOM said I have a serious addiction and I need help! When we were packing my stamp room when we moved she could not believe all the STUFF I had been collecting! She marked all the boxes "Missy's ADDICTION"
I got this big paper clip at Michael's! I got a package of 2 for $3.99
Thanks for visiting & Enjoy my CUTE Creations!

So Kind....
I LOVE this card!!!
Well I made this card and was not sure if I really liked it! But the more I looked at it the more I LOVED the card!! Groovy Guava is one of my favorite New In-Colors!
I saw this card sketch on SCS and thought I would give it a try. Priceless is another of my favorite New SU Stamp sets! Oh I hope this stamp set does not retire, at least not for a while!! I am having so much fun cutting out those cute butterflies!!
Every time I open my Stampin' Up! Catalog, I just fall in love all over again! It seems like we just launched this catalog and in 2 months we will have a NEW Catalog!! It makes me a little sad to think of this catalog ending and I know that some of these stamp sets will have to retire to make room for NEW stamp sets!!
Am I the ONLY one that feels this way?
Well anyways I hope you will enjoy this CUTE card!!
