The Friday Mashup FM#26: Lisa’s our “Fan Favorite”

FM#26 Lisa’s our “Fan Favorite”

I have to take this opportunity to thank the lovely ladies of The Friday Mashup for their blog, their inspiring ideas, and for picking my card to run for the Fan Favorite! I stumbled onto The Friday Mashup awhile ago, and I love the ideas here! Thanks for letting me part of this!
I am a huge fan of the fall! I love the change in the air, the cool crispness of the mornings, the "snuggle in the covers" time, the "put on a sweater or sweatshirt for the first time in the season" times. I love the beauty of the fall, the changing of the leaves, the big orange pumpkins, the giant golden sunflowers.

I love the holidays during the fall. I mean, Halloween and Thanksgiving? Does it get any better? I was thinking of all these lovely fall related things when this idea was born.

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

1. Make a "Fall themed" project (it's right around the corner, people!).
2. Or Make a Project that uses "Brads...lots and lots of Brads".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a fun "Fall themed project that uses lots and lots of Brads".

I can't wait to see what you've come up with.

The Friday Mashup! FM#23 I'm itching to be Stitching!

FM#23 I'm itching to be Stitching!

Hi and welcome to the Friday Mashup! This is Heidi here, and I'm pretty excited to be hosting my first challenge! My daughter started school this week, so I thought a back-to-school theme would be fun.
If you don't have a family member going back to school, I'm sure you have an opinion on the back-to-school hustle and bustle (yay, the crowds are finally out of the stores at 10 am... or this dang school bus is making me late for work...). ;)

Along with the back-to-school theme, I've added the additional challenge of stitching. I'm a fiend with my sewing machine, on paper that is, but feel free to use a paper piercer and a marker or gel pen for some faux stitching instead.

So, here's the "Mashup!" challenge:
1. Create a project with "Stitching or Faux Stitching".
2. Or Create a project for "Back To School or a Teacher Gift".
3. Or "Mash it Up!" and create a "Back To School Project with Stitching"!

This is going to be my 1st Anniversary card for Greg...
shhhh!!!
I'm weeeell aware he doesn't check this Blog or Facebook. I play secretary because he's 'allergic' to his computer: He almost never checks and people wonder why he's not getting back...
So it's safe to share. ;O)

Scalloped Circle cut with a SLICE.

Found it HERE .
A bigger version was framed on the Cake/Cupcake Table, with the matching 'Take a Treat' sign on the Candy Buffet.
The Colors for our wedding were Dark Blue and Hunter Green, with touches of white and silver so the card was made to match!
