Don't forget....

...tonight's event at the Delaware Branch Library. We'll be meeting from 6 - 8 pm in the community meeting room, just off the library entrance. I have bookmarks and an autumn card project  (small fee for the card) to make. Memory Works catalogs and some products also available.

Please feel free to bring your own works in progress and enjoy some creative time with fellow crafters. Hope to see you!

Here are 2 samples of cards we'll be making, using the Harvest Lane collection from Simple Stories. Come join us at Delaware branch library, Wed., Nov. 14th, 6-8 pm

Sneak peek!

Here's a sneak peek of one of the projects we'll be making at the Scrapping Tales scrapbook social next month. If you love owls (and who doesn't?) you'll love making this fun bookmark.

We'll be meeting November 14th at the Delaware branch library in Albany from 6-8 pm.

Finally, as promised, here is a link to the entire Memory Works 2012 Fall Catalog

Tonight we went out looking for pop up canopies. My spot at the Fall Fair spot is outside, so I'll need some cover. Finally settled on a 10 x 8 Quest easy set up model. We truly hope it is easy. The man wants to do a trial run in the yard. I'm just glad that detail is settled so I can focus on the crafts.

Festive Dessert Topper!

I was inspired by a friend on scrapbook.com who recently made a cute cake topper. I decided to try my hand at one, since I've got some fall entertaining in the very near future.

I ended up doing a fan shape, rather than a full circle, because my paper was on the thicker side and didn't want to flex very much. Since I was going for an autumn theme, I used some old favorites from my stash. The fan is made from Cosmo Cricket's Gretal collection, while the circle portion is from the Daisy D (oh how I miss them!) Heirloom Attic collection. Inkadoo stamps, Hero alphabet stamps, Close to My Heart inks. Added some gold curling ribbon and misc snippet of ribbon (Cosmo Cricket?) to the skewer.

Here it is displayed on a lovely baby apple crisp (recipe from the Small Batch Baking cookbook) that I made for dessert. My scrapping bud is coming over this afternoon for Scrappy Saturday, and who better to appreciate my efforts that a fellow scrapper?! Have a scrappy weekend!
