Happy Birthday Tracy!



Another Birthday for a great friend.  I love this stamp set so much I thought I would make six of them for her to use as she wished. 
I used:
  • "Spots & Dots" embossing folder by Cuddlebug
  • "Wisecracks" by StampinUp!
  • rhinestones.

Happy Birthday Meredith!

One of my favorite followers and best friends had a birthday so I made her a card and bought some chocolate to celebrate the occasion.  My friends and I don't usually exchange gifts, but I thought she would love the card and the chocolate.  I just wanted to make sure she had a balanced diet.....LOL!
I used:
  • "Wisecracks" stamp from StampinUp!
  • "Spots & Dots" embossing folder from Cuddlebug
  • Shear pink ribbon
  • 3 rhinestones

Sympathy Card

Once again another sympathy card.  I made this for my children's orthodontist's family.  It is hard to tell from this picture but there is dry embossing and powder embossing. 
I used:
  • "In Sympathy" stamp by Heartfelt Creations
  • "Lovely as a Tree" from StampinUp!
  • "Bird & Swirls" from Cuttlebug
  • Light grey ribbon
  • grey and green card stock

Natural Resource Award

My son goes to school at a Science Center for 1/2 of his school day.  He does many things there that are worth praising.  This is just one of those events.  Once again no frills.......
I used:
  • Cricut's "George and Basic Shapes"
  • Cricut's "Camp Out"

Father and Daughter Bonding

This was a special event for my husband and daughter.  My husband is a serious hunter and he has been taking our children with him for years.  I just had to document this special event.  I keep a seperate scrapbook for all of his hunting pictures.  I do them in 8 1/2 x 11.  He likes them very plain and to the point.  You will notice there are no frills to this page.....this is exactly how he likes it.

I have been asked to do more scrapbooking layouts

I started out as a scrap booker.  Twelve years ago my daughter was baptized and I had all of these beautiful pictures that I wanted to show off of her special day.  So I went to Michaels and got a few pre-fab pages and next thing I knew I was hooked.  It started simple with me spending about $20.00 a month on supplies.  I used our dinning room table to do my work.  Soon I out grew the dining room so my hubby and I put in a nice computer hutch in his office.  Well this was fine when he was not in there working.  But the room was just too small for the two of us together.   So, we finally made the big decision to turn the guest room into my craft room. 
Up until that point I was just a scrapper.  But, a friend got me hooked on cards and now it seems like I am always doing cards and I need to spend more time on scrapping.  So, I am making a commitment to myself to scrap more.  My kids, although they are 12 and 18, still like to look through the scrap books.  I need to stay on top of this for them.  Also, my daughter enjoys doing pages with me.  So I am recommitting myself.  So stay tuned for more Scrapping!

Mothers Day card


It is time to start thinking of Mother's Day!  I have a couple of Mother's Day cards to make so I thought I would get a head start.  This stamp is one of my favorites.  It looks good embossed or just in black ink, colored in or not.....It is truely a classy stamp just perfect for a deserving mom.
I used:
  • Pink Rhinestones
  • Cuddlebug "Swiss Dots" and "Textile"
  • "Happy Everything" stamp by Inkadinkado
  • Ribbon is "Dashes, Dots and Checks" from Michaels
  • "Rose and Petal" stamp from Hampton Art Stamp

The kids are back in school and I have household chores to do.  I was just wondering why they make self cleaning ovens but not self cleaning showers.....aughhhhhh.  Oh well, by sitting here on the computer I am just putting off cleaning it.  I am going in...wish me luck!
