November

November is here already, and Christmas is getting closer and closer! 🙂
I have two non CT pages to share; the first is from a couple of weeks ago, for a challenge at the LilyPad:

My Best Friend

Gina Marie Huff has a new page kit at Weeds & Wildflowers, My Best Friend:

It’s such a lovely kit! And there’s also a fantastic alpha:

and a girly add-on:

I made 2 matching autumn pages with the kit:

and a card with all three products:

So pretty! And they’re 20% off all weekend!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! It’s a windy day here and I’m glad I’m not a kid going around trick-or-treating! 😉

If you don’t know what to use to scrap all the pictures you’ll be taking today, go check out these lovely goodies by Amy Sumrall at the LilyPad! There’s papers:

Adorable doodles:

Cute buttons:

And my personal favorites, crazy baubles and goblins:

And here’s a non-Halloween card I did with them! 🙂

Mari has a new collab out today with Danielle Engebretson, Golden Harvest:

It’s such a rich kit, it’s really what autumn is about! AND, it’s 20% off today (actually if you head over to the Daily Digi you’ll find a 30% coupon valid until the end of the month at the DigiChick for orders of $5 and up…)!
I used it to make a card for my mom:

Fall Madness: Round Three

| cristina

Yesterday I finished my page for round 3 of the Fall Madness contest at DigiScrapAddicts: a LO without photos. I was really happy with the idea of my page and the realization, until I saw the entry of my opponent, BeccaBoo – jaw-dropping!! Oh well, I had a blast doing this, and I’m happy just to have reached round 3. 🙂

I’m Here

I know I haven’t blogged in like forever, but I’ve been pretty busy with life lately!
My mom isn’t doing too well with her broken foot, but hopefully she’s on the mend. I made her a card last week, and I’ll try to make her another soon!
