Black Friday Sales!!!

Happy Monday Everyone!!!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I didn't do much I picked up food for myself and stayed in till about 9:30pm when I left for Walmart for the 10pm sales! WOW it was crazy toooo many people! I got what I wanted from the 10pm sale but I stayed @ walmart for the midnight sale too! That got even more crazier! There was A LOT more people and they were pushing and fighting and it was only 11pm! LOL GEEZ! Well I also got everything I wanted from the midnight sale and I was OUT of there by 12:45am which is not bad! Last year it took us like 2 hrs to get out of walmart, the lines to checkout were so LOONNGGG!

Anyways...

I came home to rest for a bit then like @ 4:30am I headed out again to go to Michaels. I saw that they had Cricut cartridges for $24.99 and if you buy 2 you get Cricut Cartridge Jubilee for free.

I got Birthday Bash, Everyday pop-up cards and I got Jubilee FREE!



Also I picked up 12x12 Anna Griffin: Payton collection It was on clearance, and I got some Prismacolor color pencils for my niece.


I guess this Black Friday wasn't so bad! I wish my hubby was here for it and for Thanksgiving too, but he will be home next month! Super excited about that!

Fall Wreath

Hi Everyone!

YAY!! Its November! That means my family and my hubby will be here next month! I can wait!
Well since I have plenty time on my hands I decided to make my very first wreath. I got the inspiration from Erin over @ http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/ Go check out her blog out.
Here is how I made my Fall Wreath.

I got a piece of cardboard that came with some paper.


I used a dinner plate to make the outside circle and I used my large coluzzle to make the center circle.
I ended up covering the cardboard circle in brown ribbon.


This is the paper I used to make the rosettes for my wreath.


I cut one strip of each paper @ 1 x 12 inches to make 8 small rosettes.


also, I cut 2 strips of each paper @ 1 1/2 x 12 inches each. I glued them together to make 8 large rosettes.


I score them ever 1/2 inch and folded them accordion style.


Here is my finished wreath. I added leaves and acorns that I cut out with my E2 using the Art Philosophy cartridge I also embellished it with buttons and a bow. I really liked the way it came out.
   


Supplies Used:
Cardboard (for circle)
Me & My Big Ideas: Copper Willow
Martha Stewart Scor board
Cuttlebug
Spellbinders Scalloped Circles
Brown Ribbon
Cricut Expression 2
Cricut Cartridge: CTMH Art Philosophy
CTMH Buttons: Wodden
Making Memories Blossoms & Buttons: In Bloom
Brwon Floss
Hot Glue Gun

Now to start working on my Christmas Wreath.
