The Walking Dead....

......RETURNS!! It was soooooooo good. I can tell this a few ways: 1.I held my breath on more than one occasion, 2. I peeked through my fingers when holding my breath quit working and, 3. I sat riveted to my tv for the whole 1.5 hours of the show.

I don't want to ruin it for anyone that hasn't seen it yet, but I have a few notes (SPOILER, a little)

*Don't travel in a always breaking down RV!

*Rocks make a great Zombie killing weapon when you need it quiet (if you are one on one or maybe 2 on one)

*when a zombie herd is coming at you...hide under a car. They almost never look there!

I can't wait for the next episode! I love this show.

Hugs, Dawn

I made another page today!

And here it is:


I used this layout by Theresa Collins as inspiration:
Be You. Layout

I used one of my all time favorite lines: Basic Grey's Urban Prairie.
Thanks for looking and have a great day. Hugs, Dawn

I SCRAPPED!!!

My friend Jeanne and I scrapbooked over Skype today!! This is the first actual scrapbook page I have done in quite some time. I want to send a special shout out to my girl Jeanne for helping get my scrap on :) YOU ROCK Girlfriend and your page is amazing! Here is mine:
(My dear daughters in July of last year)

Papers and embellishments are Fine and Dandy line from My Mind's Eye. I also added a Kaiser Kraft Flower, buttons, ribbon, rickrack and brad from my stash. Oh and I sewed in dark brown around the edges of the page :) Just because I love the look of it....even when it's crooked ;)
Thanks for looking. Hugs, Dawn

Boo Halloween Decor

So, I was at my neighborhood Goodwill and spied this cool looking frame. It was not an attractive color but it had a nice texture to it. For just $1.99 it was mine. We went home together and I spray painted that puppy glossy black. Then I just needed something to put in it. Enter Susan Stringfellow's Noel Frame. That's what it needed, except a Halloween version. I used mostly Bo-Bunny Whooligan papers, with an extra one thrown in from Reminisce's Haunted Halloween collection. Thanks for the inspiration Susan!!

My "Spooky" Banner was featured!

It was featured on Paper Issues!! I'm so excited! Thanks for making my day Paper Issues!! Here's the link to the post :)

Happy Haunting

I played in my scrap closet today and while looking for something to do with my Halloween papers I came across this little bird house I bought at Jo-Ann's for a dollar. So, I covered my bird house with my papers and such and came up with what I like to call my Haunted Bird House. After finishing the house I thought it needed something else. That something else was a pole to add a moon and greeting to. I simply painted a bamboo skewer black, wrapped ribbon around it and drilled a hole in the base of the house. A little wood glue and instant "flag pole" :) I think it adds just the right touch. The papers are from a 8x8 stack by K&Co. that I got eons ago. I cut the embellishments right out of the papers. I pop dotted some of them to add some dimension. That's about it. Thanks for having a look!

(Not so) Spooky Banner

I created this banner to hang in my house for Halloween this year. I love The Whooligans line by Bo-Bunny!! The little charcters are just too cute!! I mixed in some other Halloween papers from my stash as well as bling, wiggle eyes, flowers, and ribbon. Basically anything and everything that matched (ish) got layered on :) It was fun to put together as well. Thanks for looking and have a spook-tacular day!!

Hugs, Dawn
