Here is the amazing stamp from Stampendous

 I am really loving all the new stamps from Stampendous this year.... Can't wait to get busy on Christmas cards with some of them, but first I have to find the stamps in the stores...lol 

 So on to my weekend... which I spent it running here, there and everywhere.  Still trying to find my way around San Antonio. I still get lost..lol  While running around on Saturday we passed a cowboy boot store called Cavender's Boot city.  So on Sunday after the grocery shopping etc was done hubby and I decided to check it out.  Let me tell ya this place was packed with all kinds of Cowboy/Cowgirl boots.  Hubby got a chuckle out of me.. He is from Texas and well Cowboy boots have been a part of his life since he could probably walk. lol  Anyway Ladies if your looking for some bling on ya boots this is the place to go.. lol  So in walking around I discovered the Justin Ladies Gypsy boot collection and fell in love with this pair...

These boots are a total of 8" high vs the normal 12-13" which I love as the longer boots never fit my chubby legs right so I never wore boots before.  I am already planning on a 2nd pair. hehe   I hope your weekend was filled with fun adventures...

I will be back tomorrow with another card.  Till then... Happy Crafting.

An Altered Halloween Canvas...

So here's the story why my little blog has been suffering...  I started working Full Time again.  I love my job don't get me wrong, but I'm not gonna lie I also loved crafting 2-3 hours a day sometimes more.  Now I depend on the weekends to craft and I always seem to put my blog on the back burner.  So from here on out I am setting aside some time on the weekend to get my blog all scheduled for the week.  I hope that will help in getting things back on track because I have lots to share. hehe

With that said here is a project I made a couple weeks ago for Purple Cows.

I love October...

So now that I am finally feeling better and back on schedule I have had some time to decorate and create and what can I say but I just love October!!!  I love all the fall colors and smells etc.  Pumpkin Pie scented anything, all the pumpkins and fall decor oh how I love to decorate the house for fall and of course we can't forget about Halloween...  Speaking of Halloween I have been having some fun creating, stamping, coloring, cutting and gluing Fall/Halloween paper to this and that. Creating some fun and spooky cards and lots more that I will be sharing throughout the month of October... With that said lets get to it..

Every October I get all my Halloween pattern papers out and create some fun haunted house Halloween cards.  I just love cutting them this way and that way etc to make the tops of the housed look either spooky or whimsical etc.  Here is the first Haunted house card I created this year....
