Cracking my repainted dresser for my craft room

This past weekend I worked on the dresser I am redoing for my craft room...After putting the first coat of white paint on it, I put a coat of Valspar Weathered Crackle Glaze on it.

You can see in the picture how the dresser looks a little shiny from the crackle glaze.  I also found a couple more things I decided to use the crackle glaze on to see how they would turn out.  There's a yellow and blue money box, a basket, 2 bookends, a little bear box, and a wooden mailbox holder.

Cookie box and cupcake card for birthday

One of the girls I work with had a birthday so I went through my cards I've made recently to find one we could sign and give her.  This card uses Stampin' Up's cupcake punch and matching stamp set and I thought giving her a cupcake to match would be fun. 

I even had a cute cupcake box I had made and changed it up by adding the ribbon handle instead of the box top, so I could make sure there was enough room for the cupcake....

As you can see, however, I decided to make chocolate chip cookies, because I could put more than one inside the box - isn't that better than just one cupcake?!

Weekly Stampin Queen Card Sketch and my digital card

I was so bad this week - I made up my card for the weekly Stampin Queens card sketch challenge and then forgot to post it on my blog....Here is the card sketch we used this week.

I wanted to make a Halloween card with Stampin Up's My Digital Studio - how do you like those pops of pumpkin colors?  I used one of the My Digital Studio card templates that came with the software program, and then just changed it up to use the items I had.  Definitely makes the card designing go a little faster....

Here are some more of the beautiful cards made by the other folks, and 

Stampin Queen's design team:

Isn't that little tag and butterfly just perfect together?

Our furbaby's first agility competition ribbons!! Way to go Inu

Lookie here what our furbaby received the weekend before last....it's her first two ribbons won in a dog agility competition!  Yay, she got through both courses with no disqualifications, and got a red second place and yellow third place! 

Gee, I think my husband and I liked them more than she did lol.

More pics of cards and projects made this past weekend

Well at least I can download pics from my camera on the new computer well!  So here are a few more pictures related to my blog post earlier this week...just installing on Microsoft stuff so don't have the photo editing manager program working yet, or I would have cropped these pictures.
