Winter Woodland Christmas

 

Its looked like a Christmas workshop around here the last few weeks. There is glitter from one end of the house to the other. I thought I would give you a peek at whats coming to Brandywine Designs in the next few days!

Pti October Blog Hop

 

Its PTI's Monthly blog hop again! I wish I had time to make all the color combos. I loved them all. This one was my favorite!

 

Belinda The Little Witch

I have something to share that I worked really hard on. I created some new Vintage Halloween items for my shop. It all started with a little story in my head and my sketch pad. Using sketches is new to me and I must say I'm really loving the idea. This is the story of Belinda the Little Witch!
It was Belinda’s first year at Witchcraft Academy. Her very favorite classes were “Animal Husbandry” and “You and Your Familiar“. She found her true passion was spending time in the Bat Belfry. Belinda loved sitting in the Belfry tower at dusk as the bats left for the night!
I can imagine a little girl having a Birthday party or Halloween party and using all of these handmade supplies. I also can see it all set up in a barn for a Autumn or Harvest party. Can't you see all the candles, pumpkins, and silhouettes?! So fun! I hope its a success I worked really hard on it.

Create Banner

I made this banner today. I'm in love with it!! You can find it in my SHOP. I'v decided to add all sorts of banners to my shop. I'v made two Halloween ones that are SO cute! I can't wait to share. Hope your having a super silly summer day!

Kits From The Halloween Past

I know Halloween! Has she gone crazy you ask? Last year I had request to offer my Halloween Craft kits earlier in the year. So here it is in June and you can find them at Brandywine Design! I also have new spooky labels, cupcake picks, and tags coming out. I have a limited quantity on the kits and when they are gone there gone! Happy crafting!!

Make It Mondays

Its Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink today. The challenge today is make glitter strips using Score Tape. I just recently discovered score tape. I have to say I'm hooked. I really love it. I use it for glitter, ribbons, buttons, and small pieces of paper. I was thrilled when I saw today’s challenge. I already had all my glitter and glitter supplies out. I have been making Glittered Spring Butterflies to add to my shop.(coming soon). The second I started to watch the Make it Monday video I knew what I was going to make. I am now happily covered in glitter!
*I have not been compensated in any way for this post. I'm just hoping to win stamps! ;)

Supplies

Paper: PTI- Vintage Cream
Stamps: PTI-Mega Mixed Messages
Other: Martha Stewart Glitter, Small Butterfly punch, Score Tape, chipboard

Celebrate

Time to celebrate the weekend is here! Papertrey Ink is still having an anniversary party! The challenge this time was to make a tag with a frame. I used my favorite color scheme: cream, aqua, and pink. I feel I have a lot to celebrate this weekend. Like the near 70 degree temps we will be having. YAY! Also my family is coming over for Sunday dinner to celebrate my birthday that is on Monday.

More PTI

Oh my! There is another contest on Papertrey Ink today. They gave away 9 circle downloads for free! You can enter a project with each image for a chance to win a prize. I made this on an anniversary card because its PTI 4th anniversary. I really hope to do all nine but I have a super bowl party to go to. Looking forward to some home cooked Texas ribs! Yum! I think its strange how different the cards I have been making are from my normal style. I NEVER use white and I used it on my last two cards. I also distress ink everything to death and have not with these. Hopefully I will be back with more cards today. I will be crafting during "the game". I only like the super bowl for the food and commercials!

Glittery Pretties and A Sick Little Monkey

There is a easy and fun tutorial over at Joli Paquet by Cerri you need to go see! So cute!
My little monkey has been sick. His asthma flared up for the first time in a few years and it took a few days and the doctor trying different medicines to get his breathing back to normal. There is nothing more stressful or scary than having your child tell you he can't breath! But, after lots of tlc he is doing great. He told me " Mom thanks for EVERYTHING." so sweet! At night I couldn't sleep because I went to check on him like every five minutes to make sure he was breathing. I'm just a LITTLE over protective. I took the time to make some yummy pink goodness. I'm offering this set in my shop. I think its very shabby chic! If it doesn't sell I'm perfectly fine with that. I think it would look marvelous in my studio.

Merry & Bright Printers Tray Kit

Merry & Bright- Printers Tray Kit
This is my Joli Paquet Holiday kit! You will get everything you need except adhesives and paint or stain. The tray is 16 inches by 12 inches and 1 ¼ inches wide. I designed the tray making each compartment to the size I wanted then my wonderful husband built it! A 9 inch tall bottle brush tree on a wood block is included in the kit. The wood tray comes bare so you can paint or stain it any color you want. Each one has the vintagy ceramic knob on top. Two kinds of glitter come with it. The vintage mica glitter and ultra fine snow glitter. The sheet music is from my very favorite stash. Its from 1888 and is absolutely gorgeous! You will be getting a whole page! I only have a few kits and they go on sale Thursday in my ETSY shop. Be sure to go over to Joli Paquet to see the other kits!
