Jingle Layout

I am so excited for Christmas! I wanted to try out my new spray mist from Smooch and my Jingle paper from CTMH. Who cares if I don't have a photo for the layout yet, right? The fabulous felt pieces are also from CTMH. One a side note...I can no longer copy and paste my photos from photobucket onto a new post. I don't know what is going on. That is why my text and photo are in two different posts. Who knows??

Christmas Card with New Technique

I learned a new technique from CTMH. You stamp your image in Bamboo ink and color it in with watercolor pencils and the blending pen. It is really easy and fun. This is my first attempt, so hopefully I should get better and better. It really makes your stamps even more diverse. The stamp set is a retired one from CTMH called Winter Snapshots.

Library Pocket Card

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy with Christmas gifts that I can't post because they are going to family and friends. I want them to be surprised!
I made this card for Yancey's grandma for her Birthday. I pulled out my CTMH tickled pink collection I have been holding onto. The shiny stuff under the buttons is not glue gone crazy, it is an embossed flower. I am loving ruffled ribbon on stuff..enjoy and Happy November!

Halloween Candy Buckets

These are my teacher gifts for Halloween. Buckets are from the dollar spot at Target. I used floral foam inside of the buckets. The black thing in front is a rubber mouse. It didn't show up well in the pics.

Monster Manners

I made this little book out of the coffee cozy's from Starbucks. They work great for a mini album!

Another Halloween Card

I love my witch form Quickutz! That and Pink Paislee...how could you go wrong?

Beach Treasure Box

I made this treasure box to put our beach findings in. The box is from CTMH. We always have lots of shells and rocks from the beach and the kids always have to bring them home. We run out of places to put them all!

Happy Monster Day!

A fun card that was inspired by Jen over at Pink Paislee. I heart her creativity! Color inspiration is from Jeanette of CTMH. My son and I got some chipboard together and just had fun! Most of the chipboard is CTMH, but some is from Fancy Pant(the horns). Black glitter letters are Pink Paislee. I also sprayed the card with Maya Mist (Irridescent Pearl). Stamps are CTMH. He was so fun to make! I hope you find some time to make your own little monster or you can just hug the ones you already have. ;)

Those Blue Eyes!

This is another 4th of July layout. I know it's a boy page but I just can't resist flowers! Hope you enjoy it!

Cards that are off to Awestruck!

Here are some cards I have been working on. They are in their packaging...too lazy to take them back out to photograph. :) Enjoy!



Inside of Card:

Layout of Alex at Wedding

All the kids are at school and husband it sleeping...should I clean the house or srapbook? Decisions, decisions...What do you think I chose? I think the laundry can wait a few hours.

This photo of Alex was taken at Candi's wedding. All the little girls looked so beautiful. Supplies are a hodge podge of all different brands. My Mind's Eye (paper), Pink Paislee (glitter letters), Prima (flowers and rhinestones), Maya Road (stick pins), and Fancy Pants (brown flowers). Thanks for looking!

Summer Fun Layout

This is a layout of Alex in our little kiddie pool. I did a scrap lift from the October issue of Creating Keepsakes and the paper is from CTMH.

A Funny

Garrett (our Mr. Personality) informed us yesterday "that he will not be attending college to be an alligator wrestler." He said this out of the blue and very seriously. Well Garrett, that is very good to know!

4th of July Layout

I was finally able to do a layout among all of my card making for the Awestruck booth. This is our beatiful kids in front of the house. Yes, I had to force Thomas to wear the matching shirt. Being 14 and matching your little brother and sister... apparently not very cool. But if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! :)

Double Pocket Card

I have been wanting to vary my cards a bit so I decided to take a tutorial on double pocket cards. Well, after several unsuccessful tries, I gave up on the tutorial and just starting cutting my own size. This is what I came up with. I need to go back and do some measuring so I can make more of these. Hope you enjoy...it is off to the booth!

Here Comes Fall!!

We had a yard sale this past weekend and it went really well! One of the things that didn't sell was an old sewing machine base. I decided to pull out the drawers and make some fall arrangements in them. I had a lot of fun and didn't even burn myself with the hot glue gun (I always burn myself at least 3 times a project). I am going to put them for sale in the Awestruck booth. My sister-in-law, Ginny, has some beautiful embroidered items for sale as well. You guys need to go shopping, right?

Cards For Sale!

I am going to have some of my cards displayed at Awestruck! It is a store in the Rogue Valley Mall. Here are a couple going in my "for sale" basket. I have no idea what to price my cards at. Some take a really long time to make. Anybody sold any of their cards? I would love to know what you are charging.

Another Boy Layout

I guess it was scrapbook Garrett day! These layouts went well into the night, but I am happy with the way they turned out. The first on has Pink Paislee on it (on of my favorite brands). I couldn't think of a title so I went with "I am Love" Which describes he very well...He always has a smile for me and kind words.

The next picture was taken at Disneyland. He loves everything Pirate! The layout has Tim Holtz (stamp), CTMH, and of course Pink Paislee again. I need to work on some girly layouts soon. :) Enjoy and have a wonderful day!

My Boys

Here are two of my favorite guys in the world! This picture was taken with luck. I don't know how I managed to get it with them making the same pose at the same time. Papers are from CTMH; Twitterpated. The "I Love Your Face" stamp is from Daisy Bucket. They saying is attached to a little robot and I just cut the two apart.

More Fall...A Cute Door Hanger

Is it Fall yet? I cannot wait to pull out my fall decorations! My husband laughs at me because every once in a while I pull out some decorations, just to look at them. We have a sign up in the house that says "Witches are good spellers" all year round. It makes me smile everytime I walk past it.

This door hanger is a kit I got from K & Co. I added my own embellies to it as well. The kit was only $2.50. Can you believe it? So cute!

Pumpkin Patch and new CTMH

This is a picture of the kids at the pumpkin patch last year. I got to use my new goodies from Close To My Heart and that makes me very happy! Hope you enjoy the layout. I scraplifted from Jen over at Pink Paislee. She does beautiful work!

Shipping Box and New Felt from CTMH

The new Heartfelt from CTMH that is coming out in September. It is yummy and my new favorite. I love the idea of recycling the shipping box for your projects. Cheap and Cool!

Our Garrett on Easter

Anniversary Card

I just couldn't resist!
