Design D*I*V*A*S S.S. Challenge #2 & #3

Finally, I've gotten the last 2 Design D*I*V*A*S S.S. challenges done!! The first one was to be a Christmas Card Box type ornament. The picture isn't the greatest, but all of the Red flowers have Red Stickles on them, so they are very glittery!!
Recipe:
Paper: Bella Rose DP, PTI White
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss
Accessories: Creative Memories Star Punch, Stickles, Ribbon, Oval Scallop punch The next challenge was to make 2 Lollipop Flowers. Well, I wasn't too crazy how the tutorial flowers were, so I made my own using some Nesties and the Cuttlebug with a Brad in the middle.
Recipe:
Paper: Basic Grey "Euphoria"
Accessories: Nesties, Cuttlebug, Basic Grey Brads
I spent last weekend with my Grandson Hunter and my Mom. We carved 2 pumpkins!!
Isn't that Hunter the sweetest???!!! His Mom had to work nights on the weekend, so we went to Great Gramas house. We got his Halloween Costume too. I'll post that another day!! It's just too scary to post today!! ha ha ha!!

After his bath, he wanted a Mohawk, so I kind of gave him one!!
We met Jenn (Hunter's Mom) on Sunday for lunch to celebrate my Mom's 74th Birthday. Then Mom & I went to Madison, and went out for a family dinner to Red Lobster for her birthday again! On Monday we went to the Chicago area so that my Mom could visit 2 of her dear friends. I also got to see 3 of my friends from high school!! We went out for pizza. Many, many, many years ago, on Senior Ditch Day, the 4 of us went to White Pines Park in Il. Mary Lou (farthest Left) and I have been friends since 5th grade (1966)!!!! Next is Michele, Annamarie, My Mom, and of course me! I took my Mom home yesterday, and came back today.
Well, I have a long 12 hour day tomorrow. So that's it for now!!
