WOYWW #751 and Catching Up!

 Good morning, Crafty friends!

September and October got completely away from me!

I spent a long weekend in Springfield, including a day with my sister. 

The following week I was back in Springfield for a planner getaway and two days with my daughter. We'd not had the opportunity to just visit and do stuff together in TEN YEARS!  We spent one day at the Wonders of Wildlife Museum then the next day at the Japanese Botanical Gardens.  Here are a couple of pictures.

Hard to believe my baby girl is 40!

I spent the first eleven days of October setting up videos for a MemoryDex  October Daily series on my youtube channel. I was going to be gone from the 12th - 17th at a writer's conference in Eureka Springs AR.  I have been attending that conference for 27 years. I missed one year in that stretch the weekend my youngest granddaughter was born. Abby turned 12 this year. 

If you'd like to see why my desk looks like this:

then I invite you to check out my #31DaysofHalloween playlist on YouTube... You can also find them on my IG account... https://www.instagram.com/kellyscreativedreams/

I'm a few days behind on IG but getting the pictures caught up.

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground for all the details. Miss Julia has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.

 

Creative Blessings!

#TAGTUESDAY - Week 13 & #31DaysofHalloween Day 2

 Good morning, everyone!

I am really battling sinus' today so not here for long. 

Here is the Day 2 of #31DaysofHalloween Memory Dex:

REMEMBER: You can always check out my channel for all the videos.

I used digitals from Heather A. Hudson at My Artistic Adventures on Etsy. Here is her LINK. She has some nice vintage-styled digitals. I bought three of her Halloween themed and will be buying more.

Here's the video for this week's tag:

MAKE IT- MAIL IT MONDAY & #31DaysofOctober #OctoberDaily #MemoryDex

 Good morning, crafty friends!

I'm flying in on my trusty broom with LOTS of Treats for you this month!

First off, a quick apology. September turned into an 'unplanned' busy month. I spent two weekends back to back in Springfield. One for a sister day and planner weekend and another for a long 2-day visit with my daughter. We had not sat down and really visited in almost 10 years!!! We were way overdue and had a good time. Come back Wednesday for WOYWW and I'll share pics!

While October is going to be just as busy, with my HB90 planner and my Kanban board set up, I'm ready! I can conquer the world when I plan for it! LOL

Here is today's card:

You're going to see Halloween cards every week this month. I have lots of witchy goodness to share with friends!

This is a bridge card. I learned this super simple technique in the SACs Academy. What is SACs Academy? I'll link that video down below. Trust me... if you like to learn new things and play with products from all over the world - or just be inspired to use your own stash - SACs Academy is the place you want to be. There are lots of other perks, too. 

You can see a video with all the information about SACs Academy HERE

The original class used an embossed panel for the center backdrop. After doing the sample, I pulled out my Midnight Tales from Graphic 45 and went to work. I upped the game by fussy cutting a second witch (I have 2 complete kits of this retired series) and popped her up on a wobble.. when I shake the card, she flies! This was also one of two entries I did for the G45 community FB group. They choose a random winner to receive $150 GC!!! Boy, I could spend that in a heart beat, couldn't you?

Today kicked off the #31 Days of Halloween on my YouTube Channel. Every afternoon around 5 p.m. EST, there will be a short video showcasing that day's Memory Dex card. While you're welcome to check out Day 1 Video, here is the Memory Dex card for today:

I was inspired by THIS pinterest item by Haley Marble of Marbles 3D Printshop

Day 2:

This TAG by becreativejs inspired today's card.

That's it for me today. I have lots to do tomorrow. I'm FINALLY getting stuff put in my Etsy shop! I'll let you know when things go live!

Creative Blessings!
