I am very excited to find out this morning that my entry in the Heart 2 Heart Challenge made Top Ten.  You can see it here.   Just scroll down until you see my name Michele.
This is the very first time I have won in any Challenge.
Here is the link to the story on my blog

Thanks again for the new badge on the Right side of my blog for Top 10 Winner. 

Give Thanks

This is the card that I made for our Nov. card swap group.  I am using this card in Mojo Monday Card Challenge,  Heart 2 Heart Challenge, Fantabulous Cricut Challenge.  I was inspired by the photo this week and the sketch.  We had just come back from Disneyland for Halloween.  What a great time the family had.  My Mom 92, my Son his wife, my Daughter and all 3 Grand kids, my Husband and myself.  We were 4 generation literally from 1 to 92.  I was realizing how grateful I am that we love to all be together and how close we all are.
We ate at the Rain Forest Cafe in Disneyland one night; we make it a point to go there every visit.  The kids love all the things going on with the waterfalls, lighting and thunder as well as all the animals.
You can see the Pumpkin Box here.

While we were there I heard from a very close friend that her Granddaughter was just born and had to have surgery right away. So sad for someone that small to go through all that and the family too! Little Shelby has been in our thoughts and prayers. She is doing great after her surgery.
I have so much to be Thankful for in my life. This card is just a little reflection of that.  So the Give Thanks was the perfect saying for this card.
Sorry for the long story but I just wanted to let you know how truly Thankful I am.

Halloween Wreath from CTMH/Artiste

Here is a wreath that my DIL Jenn and I made yesterday.  After we finished dropping off the grand kids at school and taking our walk we headed up to the Scrapbook room.  Jenn had started making rosettes knowing that she wanted to make a large Wreath.   Can you tell that we knew what we wanted to end up with but not sure how we were going to end up there Hummmm! 
I stated by attaching all 5 Rosette parts together so that we a large Rosette.  Then I cut a large circle for the backing to keep the Rosette round.  Then we put together the next layer that was a different color the same way.  Next we cut out the Sunset piece (not sure what you call that shape).  The spider web then the spider and Eek!  Jenn added the cutouts from the web to the spider (that was a very cool idea) and popped him up using an Adhesive Spring so he has lots of movement.  The little flower is the Black Tulle Ribbon.  We covered the Black striped Grosgrain Ribbon with the Black Tulle and the Bow is made from the Black Tulle Ribbon too.  The Bling Assortment button and hat pins are in the little flower.  I hit the whole thing with spray glue and we sprinkled Prisma Glitter over it.  The Eek!, Bow, and rosette flower are held on with #Glue Dots from #CTMH
We will be using this for the H2H challange.

It ended up about 14" and it is so cute I can't wait for the kids to get home and see it.
Okay the Grand kids really liked it.  How about you?
