Hey chick...

Well I have missed a few days.. where does the time go? Seriously! Actually I have been making cards like crazy the last few days. Mostly some Christmas cards.

Tyler and I had a road trip on Friday to a new-to-me stamp store. He was so good. It helped that the owner of the store kept him occupied looking at her dogs and the funny stamps while I shopped. Then I had printed him his very own 40% off coupon for AC Moore and he got to pick out a new train for his train track. These trains are great. He has a giant basket of wooden tracks, bridges, overpasses, buildings and trains. He plays with them all the time (please excuse the messy house in the photo). If you are looking for a great gift for a little person in your life, check out these trains. I have been collecting the track for him since he was about a year old. He still needs a little help creating a big track but he plays for hours with it. The Brio and Thomas wooden tracks will work together and you can see a bunch of them here. I have nothing to do with any of these companies but when I find a great toy I like to pass the word around and these are some of the best ever. They are tough (trust me, I know) and they are great for the imagination (ok I admit it I like to play with them too). I am actually getting a starter set for my cousin's little boy for Christmas.

No that I have that out of my system I've got a quick card I made with Annabelle. The sentiment "Hey chick, what's moo?" totally cracks me up. So I put the little chick sitting in Annabelle's hand. Just a quick card to say hey to someone and give them a little chuckle. The colors went a little springy on me but I guess I was needing a change from all of the fall and Christmas colors.

Don't look too close... my grey copic that I use to shadow went all weird and glomped up all over. Oh well Annabelle's cuteness makes up for it. :)

I will be back tomorrow with more CC Designs. Don't forget to check out the ATS forum for the latest challenge you could be next months Guest Designer.

* This is my second post of the day. I couldn't wait any longer to post this Annabelle project I made. *

This is my little sneak peak of a brand new stamp set that will be available on October 7th at All That Scraps. This is the first set created by Diane Zechman. Be sure to visit her blog to congratulate her on her first set and a chance to win some blog candy.. or is it blog cookies?!?

Here is my little project. The card is 4 1/4" square. The "udderly perfect" sentiment is just one of the great sayings in this set.

I found the milk carton template here. I just made the box an inch taller so that Annabelle would fit. I paper pieced her dress and pocketbook on both the carton and the card. I think you can make the photo bigger by clicking on it. A cow background stamp is also being release at ATS this month. I didn't have the stamp so I made my spots, but that stamp will make a project like this a breeze to put together at the last minute.

So Annabelle brought the milk, "Got Cookies?".

Well since you asked..... I filled the milk carton with mini Oreos. It is no longer full as Tyler has eaten half of them. OK, I might have had a few (wink, wink).

So that is it for my first peak at the new All That Scraps release. This is so much fun.

Be sure to check out what the Design Team made with Annabelle on the ATS Blog. And don't forget the release party in the ATS forum on October 7th starting at 8:00.
