The Mojo's Flowing...

I vendored at another crop this weekend (third one in a row!) and had a great time. I was very busy but managed to find time to get some more layouts done:

This one is me as a little girl. I LOVED my Wonder Woman Underoos!

Little Bridgette

This is a very cool looking owl we saw at Hershey Park this year

Little Bridgette and Grammy:

All these paper and accents are at the store so if you like what you see, go over to the website and pick some of it up!

I will try to post tomorrow with a sneak peek of December's new kit.

New Classes at Scraptacular!

I got a lot of scrapping done this weekend while I was vendoring at the High Point Scrap Retreat! I have several classes coming up at the store that I am so excited about and I (finally!) managed to get the samples done while I was away. Here's a sneak peek of the Fall Layouts class on December4th from 6-8:

I've also got a clear card class coming up next week on November 19th from 6-8pm. We are making 8 cards for different occasions using clear acetate for the cards:

I am really loving these clear cards!! I think that I may do these for my Christmas cards this year...

Also, if you will be in the Reading/Exeter area this weekend, my mom is organizing a crop at our church to benefit the youth group's upcoming trip. It is from 9-9 and cost $35 which includes lunch, dinner, snacks, goody bag and a chance to win some fabulous prizes!!! It is going to be a great time so please consider joining us.

Spooky Fun

Halloween runs a close second to Christmas as the favorite holiday in the Bussler house. We love dressing up and getting spooky! Here are a few pictures of Bridgette dressed up on Halloween:

She was dressed as Charmander, a fire breathing Pokemon. Her costume was made at the last minute by her talented Grammy when we couldn't find anything else! Thanks Grammy! Daddy painted her face with orange and black face paint so the costume would be more authentic.

And here are a few from her class Halloween party. I volunteered as a homeroom helper and got to walk in the parade with them. They are all such great kids!

We played Halloween Bingo made by yours truly, as well as a really cute Halloween joke game which you know was right up B's alley!

So Not a Girly Girl

We just got these way cool acrylic albums in at the store and when I saw this one I knew what I had to do. Bridgette's not really a tomboy but she is definitley not a girly-girl and I wanted to capture that in a mini album:

A few tips for those of you who haven't tried acrylic albums yet...

Use background stamps with Stazon Ink to make a fun background that will show through both sides:

Cover the acrylic with paper on the underside. Cover up the adhesive by putting something on top of it. Here I placed buttons and stickers over my adhesive. I also used a little Diamond Glaze so you wouldn't see it:

Use paint to jazz up your album. I dry-brushed the edges of each acrylic page and used my paint brush to make dots all around the first page. The best part? You can see them on the other sied too:

I used more Stazon Ink to stamp the butterflies and swirls:

Always remeber when working with acrylic that you have to think ahead to what both sides of the piece are going to look like. To check out more of these albums, go to http://www.itsscraptacular.com/ and click on acrylic albums!

Corn Maze

We were really in the fall spirit this weekend so we decided to go to a local corn maze. Bridgette and Scott ran through the apple orchard, we got some fresh apple cider and navigated our way through the maze! I got some good pictures too but this one is my favorite:

Happy Fall!

Pickin' Pumpkins

Tonight we picked our pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch. It was a little dark so the pics aren't as good but it does give them kind of a Halloween-y feel.

This one Bridgette is demonstrating how she wants a tiny pumpkin:


We had fun and there were a lot to choose from. They had a special going that you could have all the pumpkins one person could carry for $20. So we piled Scott's arms high with pumpkins and manage to get away with four!
