Another Banner

Did I mention that I LOVE Fall decorations? Well, since I sold my Boo Banner that I made last week within a few hours of listing it on my etsy shop, I had to make another one. I decided to go for more of a general Fall theme with this one. It is beautiful hanging from my bar! Again, I used Pink Paislee Amber Road paper from my embarrisingly huge stash and my trusty Cricut and it was made in no time.

New Obsession

My name is Amber and I have an addiction.

An addiction to felt food! This is the cutest stuff I have ever seen. It makes me want to rummage through my daughter's room and throuw away all of the plastic and wood food she has and replace it all with this soft adorable felt pieces. The first things I made are a carrot (which my husband says is larger than life), and eggplant, and a candy corn just becuase it is October! I am just learning and I think after these 3 items I have got the hang if it and see many more items coming soon!

New Design

So, what do you think of my new blog design? I am extremely happy with it. A big thanks goes out to CariCreates Etsy Shop for the design!

BOO Banner

OK, OK, I know I said I was moving on to non-scrapbooking projects, but I had to make this up. I LOVE the fall. I love the cooler weather, the pumpkin farms, of course the food, and the decorations! We were getting out all of our fall decorations today and I thought a banner would be the perfect touch. This banner was super easy with the use of my trusty Cricut. I used papers from Pink Paislee Twilight I had leftover from last year, and in less than an hour, a perfect Halloween decoration!

New Day...New Direction

So I know it has been like FOREVER since I posted. I have really been trying to reevaluate what I want to do with my "Craft Life" since I closed the scrapbook store. While I love scrapbooking and always will, there are SO many other projects I want to do as well. So many in fact, that there is not enough time in the day to get my chores done and do them all! So, with that being said, I have hung my scrapbook designer hat up for a while and am going to focus on these other crafty projects, both for myself and for my etsy shop. (I need to keep a little bit of business action going to pay for my habits!)

So, from now on you will be seeing a plethora of projects and ideas. I will be posting tutorials on some, maybe some recipes, some kid activities, whatever floats my boat for that day! I hope you all enjoy the new direction I am taking and continue to follow along.
