Personal Post Monday

So I'm going to try and have each Monday (maybe late Sunday) be my personal posts.  Some Monday's I might not have one - but it I do, that is when Ill try and post.  My family is so important to me - and even though stamping is my passion - I love looking back through my blog and seeing my family - so this is your warning - LOL.

It's FALL - I love fall - but this one in Southern California has been rough.  SOOOOOO HOT!! It's been over 90 (and near 100) more days than not the last several weeks - and this week will be a little better - but still not fall like.  But at least I can craft like it's fall - here are a bunch of my creations on display.

Also wanted to update on my last Gramma Day post - you can see that post HERE.  Last Saturday I picked up Kamili's painted creation and brought it to her at the soccer field.  Here she is holding her little owl - that she picked out and made for her mom.

Here is the close-up - she painted it all -except for the black - she had me do the eyelashes and the heart.

 She was all smiles after getting her owl.  Love this girl so much.

Today is my Gramma day with her sister Makai - so there will be pictures coming on my next Personal Post monday.  See you soon!  ~Gramma

Whooooo's Ready for FUN!!

At my club I usually try and do a little project after we're done with our card and this month we made these adorable little bags of caramel corn with an OWL topper.  I've seen these types of owls all over the web, and just had to try my hand at one of my own :)

Here's the punch chart for making these little guys - so you can make your own.  All of these are SU Punches.  I realize that under the scallops, it just looks like white cardstock, but there are actually 2 - 1 3/8" circles punched and adhered there - so sorry that does not show better on the picture.

And here's a close up view of just one so you can see the placement of all of your punches.  Isn't he the cutest!!!  This one is made folding the top note die cut in half the short way - but if you had a wider bag - you could probably do him the long way - might have to adjust punches a bit.  Hmmmm - I'll have to try that.

Thanks for stopping by - stop back soon!!! ~Maureen
