TWD - Fancy Pants

  Fall has to be my favorite time of year!  The cool crisp breeze, remarkable foliage and candy!  lol.  Just kidding but not really!  I was excited to see that this week, over on the Fancy Pants blog, the Design team is focusing on Halloween.  

This year, costume choosing has become a battle. I want cute, like Buzz Lightyear, a cow or a minion.  My 10 year old wants to be a ninja, the Grim Reaper or Freddie Crueger.  We just can not compromise.  We, meaning my son and husband, have settled with a scary clown costume.  I will have to say, it is pretty scary.  The little kids are not going to like him. 

I am afraid that last year was the last time I had full influence on what he became for one night.  Zombie was the worst thing I would let him become.  Fake scars and all, you could still tell that it was him beneath a touch of make-up.

You can see more of my layout and the creepy zombie from last year over on the Fancy Pants blog.  

Mini Address and Telephone Books - Fancy Pants

Morning!

When my chum lost all her important stuff on her phone, I decided I needed to write all of my information down on paper!  I created these little minis that will hold all of my important details in case I lose my phone.  Details are on the Fancy Pants blog today.  I would love it if you stopped over and said hello!

Let's Be Nuts Together - Fancy Pants

Good morning!

You must go to the Fancy Pants blog today to see this one of a kind, truly childish act by my son and his grandfather.  We were at the Lego store in downtown Disney if that gives you any indication of what may have gone down.   

Here is a peek!

SHE - Fancy Pants

Good morning.  I had a great time stealing this adorable photo from my friend when we were scrapbooking together.  There is only one other female in our house and that is my dog Flo.  I wanted to use the gorgeous pink papers in the Summer Sun collection so I grabbed this older photo of Em.  She is photogenic and adorable!  Perfect for the flip flops and "love" Brag Card.  I will be giving this layout to my chum while begging for more photos.  Just take a look at the pink and grey together.  I challenge you to try that color combo.  It was super fun.

This is the second layout that was published in the Russian magazine!  woohoo

Head over to the FP blog for more detailed photos.

Happy - Wrap Star - Fancy Pants

Fancy Pants tries to inspire you with different ways of crafting with their beautiful product.  Today, I was asked to participate in Wrap Star.  A design that includes wrapping a present, creating a card or a tag.  I decided I needed to wrap a little gift for a chum, so this was perfect.  

There are more details and a step by step tutorial on how to create a pocket for the front of your present.  It's worth checking out.  Trust me.  Plus, its my post so you should!

Pool Boy - Fancy Pants

Yup, I am talking about our pool today over at Fancy Pants.  

We are not ready yet.  Maybe never will be with this weather.  

We froze to death last night at the big baseball game. 

Anyway, I created a boy layout using the brand new Summer Sun Collection from Fancy Pants.  Although it is girlier than the other brand new line, Making Waves, I wanted to share how you can still use the beautiful papers for a boy layout.

Head over HERE to see more.

Come back soon!
