Day 28 of 31

Hope your having fun so far, there are so many blogs to hop to so get going!!!  I have chosen to post the blog roll on the side bar right over there-----> so make sure to follow it and leave love on all the blogs so you can win so awesome prizes!!!

So who would have thought that you could add Halloween and Christmas together.. not me, until I made a list of things I wanted to make for people for Christmas, because let's face it with the wedding, and Steven living in Idaho Falls, Hunter and I here, two mortgages and a rent payment, plus food and living for 2 households ummmm money is a bit tight here...so I am going to do a handmade Christmas this year. So I am recycling some books that we have that are to young for my children and decided to make some bookmarks to go with them.  Here is one using a Dilly Beans image.  No I am not that cheap they will get other things but what else am I to do with these books, I would rather give them to people I know as opposed to a thrift store!!! Which there is nothing wrong with thrift stores I love them but you know what I mean!!!

HUMP DAY! hop

Yes I said it like the camel on the commercial as I am pretty sure you read it that way in your head!!  It's time for this month's Bombshell hop and this will be our last HUMP DAY hop of the year as next month's hop date was Christmas Day and we decided to take the day off!  Here is my project for this hop and it's another book mark for me to use with my pile of books that I am slowly but surely putting a dent in!!

Now head on over to Kathi's blog to see what she has for you in today's hop!!!

Dilly Beans Not A Card challenge

I have for you today a project I made for myself actually,  when I saw this weeks Dilly Beans Challenge Not A Card, I knew I wanted to make a book mark and I also knew that I needed a break from fall colors!!!  LOL  I love Fall, the smell the colors the everything but I needed to color something that wasn't a fall color and I chose to make a book mark because I have a stack of books waiting to be read and I don't want it to get any bigger!!!  Lot's of reading for me when the kids are on school break!!!

I love this flower and the colors are about as far away from fall colors as I could get!!!  LOL  Don't worry though, tomorrow will be back to the normal and Fall will be in the air again!!! 

Because everyone LUSTs for Gold and Girls!

I made this card for a challenge issued over on Smeared and Smudged. I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it so wanted to use it for something like this. The PP is some that I made using thick embossing powder and stamping in it. I then took perfect pearls and rubbed it on the top getting the "liquid gold" look. Love it. I also used the perfect pearls on the center of the flower and the game tiles so that they shimmered! Enjoy!
