#152 Buttons

Once again it's Thusday and it's means not only is it time for Mo's but the weekend is almost here and that's a good thing especially since I'm back at work.  Now this week our theme is buttons, and since I always use buttons on a masculine card, I decide to go the CAS route and use Johan which you can find
HERE.   I made this for my son Michael  who's birtday was in August but I am posting it now.  He loves playing the guitar, and if you scroll down a few posts, you'll actually see him playing the ukulele for me. He surprised me and posted a song on you-tube and dedicated it to me.  I cried like a baby when I saw it.

Here is the inside of the card:

Anything Goes at Mo's # 151 and Something for Moi

It's the first Thursday of the Month so you know what that means, it's Anything Goes at Mo's. So once again, the skies the limit so use you imagination and let your creative juices flow and lets see what you come up with.  Just remember you must use one of Mo's images and you're good to go.

As for me, I had to have this Fall Fairy the second I saw it and once again decided to merge it with the pumpkins.  I love the fall maybe because I love the colors or maybe because I'm a fall baby, or maybe because it's that crispness in the air, but whatever it is, this is what I came up with.

I haven't made a criss cross card in ages and wanted to make something different, so I decided to make one of those. I used my cricut to cut the circle at 4 1/2 " using the George cartridge since I don't have any large nesties and merged Fall Fairy Jensen which you can find HERE and Pumpkins which you can find HERE

I found this poem on-line and thought it was perfect for the criss-cross card:

I also made a shawl for myself. Hey with the fall coming up, it will come to good  and since  I've been knitting for everyone else, I decided knit this shawl for moi and I have a few more lined up, but another baby blanket for a shower for my sister in law in between that and a sweater I am making for myself which should be finished shortly.  Again this is a free pattern on Raverly and is called Acadian and is knit from tip to tip.

A close up of the pattern on the edge of the shawl

 Yarn: Lion Brand Martha Stewart Crafts Extra Soft Wool Blend-Buttercream (4 skeins)

Pattern: Acadian

I will be entering this into the following challenges:

1. Lollipops Crafts: HERE Fall Frolic
2. Cute Card Thursday: HERE Autumn Gold
3. Make it Monday: HERE Always Anthing Goes
4. Fab n Funky: HERE The Colors of Autumn

 I hope I inspired someone to join in on the fun, I can't wait to see what you come up with, just don't for get to use one of Mo's images.

Layers #150 and Pat and I Go to New York

This will be a long post ladies..Sorry but Pat my wonderful DT sister decided to come visit me in New York before I go back to work on Tuesday.  We kept talking about it, and finally just did it. We stayed at the Park Central Hotel which by the way was the perfect location and had a wonderful time.    I honesty can't wait to do it again which of course we plan on doing in another six months.   We went to Ellis Island which sad to say, I've never been before.  We saw two Broadway Shows The first One Man, Two Guvnors which we laughed so hard my sides still hurt.  The second, Silence the Musical which is parody on Silence of the Lambs which I would tell you to run the other way and not go to see it.  We go suckered into a comedy show,  ate some fabulous foods and had a wonderful time.  Here are a few pictures of our New York Adventure.

Yes, we even have water taxi's in New York.  Oh and I taught Pat how to hail a real Taxi cab in New York
Taxi!!!!

This is a statue of the Merchant Marines to honor those that died.  It is along the path while waiting to go through  the security check point before boarding the ferry to Ellis Island.   Oh yeah, the one I tried to pass up...  I'm sure you would have heard about it on the news.  

Lady Liberty along the way.   We did not stop on Liberty Island becuase she is under construction but you still could have hopped off the ferry and walked around. 

I really enjoyed Ellis Island as did Pat.  We met some interesting people and I got some education and can't wait to go again.  So glad you took me Pat.

We went to diner at  a Brazilian Restaurant on the east side called Alfama.  Michael and his girlfriend met us and we had a wonderful time.  The food was Fabulous.

Ok.. On to our challenge which is another easy challenge for us this week at Mo's...Layers now how easy is that.  So I hope you come and join us this week, just remember to use one of Mos adorable images and you're good to go.

This was a commissioned card and I had to rush it, so I am not happy with the skin tone.  I know I can do much better so I will work on it.  But as long as she was happy with it, that's all that matters.   I used Cupcake Princess which you can find
HERE

Distressing #149

Well, once again it Thusday which means it's time for Mo's...This week we decided to use distressing as our theme, now how easy is that... So I took out my trusty little blade and distressed the edges of all the sides of my papers and make this adorable little journal book for my little nephew James to start off the school year just right.  But knowing my niece, I think she'll put it away for him.

I started my project off with one of those $1 books I found at Michaels but alas it was my last one.  But well worth it for James as he is such a sweetheart.  Hopefully they will get some more in as I love making these books and still need to make one for myself.    I used Super Duper Boy which you can find in both the Old Store HERE and the New Store HERE.
