And the Winner Is....

Thank you all so much for entering my November Giveaway! I had a wonderful time reading about all of the many blessings we share and the things we are grateful for!! I'm sorry this post is a little late. Thanksgiving was more of a challenge this year than I had anticipated! I guess I had forgotten what it was like to have a 1 year old! Although my husband and I both had to work the Holiday, we still managed to have time for family and it was awesome. I hope each and every one of you had a wonderful day as well! And now, without further adieu.... The winner is..... KRISTEN!! Congratulations and thank you all once again for visiting my blog!

Be sure to check back in December for another great giveaway!

C H A N G E S

So I've been absent from the craft world for awhile now. I took on a lot of responsibilities this summer and haven't been able to keep up with them! Life has also been throwing lots of curve balls my way and with a husband and 2 kids you can always expect things to get derailed from time to time. I feel the need to apologize to my customers and those that support me for my lack of communication. I do hope that in the end everyone will leave satisfied and understand that I am a full time working mom that crafts on the side! So far everyone has been absolutely awesome and understanding and I appreciate it so much!

My goal is have things settled down in the next month or so. I hope to be able to re-fill my etsy store and be able to take on more custom orders. I have hated turning people down in the past few months but I just haven't had the time! If I have missed anyone or need to respond to a questions please feel free to e-mail me at k_snelling_3@hotmail.com. I will be trying to tie up all loose ends this weekend. I will be taking a few weeks to take a breather, regroup, and get back to the creative drawing board. I look forward to bringing you some new and fresh designs.

Ocotober MPTS Mid-Month Challenge

Wow, another month has gone by and I'm left wondering where the time has gone! I sat down this afternoon and created a card for the MPTS Blog. Here is this month's Challenge:

Theme: Nature- Great for fall! Leaves, flowers, etc!

Supplies: "piece" of the outdoors (like a pressed leaf or flower, twig, etc) and a vintage button/broach


I love doing any kind of fall project! Just the colors alone get me excited! Thanks for taking the time to look!

Ocotober MPTS Challenge Project

Wow, is it October 1st already? I can't believe how fast the time is passing this year!! Since it's the first of the month it's time to reveal my project for the More Paper Than Shoes monthly Challenge! This design team is just full of wonderful and talented ladies and I'm having a great time being a part pf it! Here was the challenge:

"We don't want to be fairy and bright, we want to be scary and give them a fright"!

Requirements:
NO ORANGE or Yellow!!!

These two colors CANNOT be used on your project!!! Supplies: Glitter and ribbon Embellishment: Hand made flower Technique: embossing Surface: ANY

So, I wasn't quite paying attention on NOT using yellow! Oops! I'm glad I didn't use more but there are a few yellow buttons that accidentally snuck their way in! I also forgot the flower! Which is horrible because I make flowers ALL the time! lol

This amazing digital stamp is from Tiddly Inks. I just discovered their website and was so excited to be able to use one of the images I saw. She is called Betty Belfrey and I had a blast putting her all together!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and see my project!

Color Challenge Project

Wow, we are half way through September already! More Paper Than Shoes Design Team blog is having their first mid-month challenge! The challenge is to use the following colors on a project: old olive, pretty in pink, and rose red. I love a challenge and had a great time creating this card:
