Paper Flowers

GOOOOOOOD Monday Evening!!!!

Man what a busy weekend. I had a great weekend the only thing that could have been better is if I were at CHA. I was just in Chicago last month visiting in-laws. I should have timed that visit better! Anyway I did manage to squeeze in a tid bit of paper crafting fun on Sunday. This paper pack is an old kit I had from My Minds Eye. I STILL love the fun colors in it. The little paper flowers are so fun and easy to make. I learned about these from a Scrapbook Memories episode on PBS (locally channel 8). I am going to tray and make 2 cards alike when I have my supplies out. #1 because I usually sell them and #2 I already have everything out so may as well right.

Today was Graces first day of middle school waaaaaaaaaaaa!!! She started riding the bus home this year too so naturally I just HAD to get her a cell phone. She was about to BURST right out of her skin when we told her. We waited until we were leaving for the Verizon store before we told her she was getting one or we never would have heard the end of "when do we get it? when do we get it? when do we get it?" OH! the little flourish is a cut from the Cricut, buttons are MME and the orange one is PTI. Stamp is PTI Birthday Basics. Thanks for visiting!!!!

Cheers!

You Make Me Happy!

Good Easter Morning!!!
What a beautiful day in Tennessee today!!
So I realize it has been forever and 5 days since I last posted and visited blogs. Life has been CRAZY busy but good. It seems we are finally making a dent on the house project. Still so much to do however. Needless to say this is a scrapbook page I did a while back. I still have lots of my craftiness in a boxes. SOON though, soon I will be able to get out all of my crafty goodness! I just hate to get it out and all set up when I dont have the time to get to it right away. Once it is all out sitting there I will for sure not get any house work done!!! LOL. I cannot remember all of the goodies used to make this but what I do know is:
Paper kit is My Minds Eye.
Buttons: MME and PTI
Die Cuts: flowers and butterflies Cricut
STamp: (barcode label) CTMH
Thanks so much for visiting I hope to be back to my normal crafy self soon! Have a wonderful Easter day!!
Cheers!

Winter Wishes

Good Sunday Afternoon!! It is so pretty and so much warmer than yesterday. I need to update about the Bonfire/Hayride last night it wasn't 30 it was actually more like 40. so NOT quite as bad but still dang chilly. I was sitting around the fire with me feet propped up and the bottom of one of my sneakers started smoking!!! HA!!! guess I was too close to that warm fire.

Anyway, Today's card is a sweet little image that my friend Tina let me stamp with. I think it is the Greeting Farm. There are three in the set Rain, Winter and Summer i believe. This on is winter. She is soooo cute. I am still trying to learn to color with Copic so bare with me.

I have no idea who the paper is. A friend gave it to me and there was no identification on the back at all. But I love the colors and argyle pattern. I wish I had more Copics so i could have matched the paper better. SOME DAY! I will be getting more. Right now I have to think about Christmas gifts before I can buy myself any non essentials. The pink paper is CTMH Hollyhock and ribbon is PTI Berry Sorbet. The buttons are from My Minds Eye. The sentiment is PTI Snow Fall set and the Snowflake is PTI 2008 Holiday Tag Collection. and the die cut is Spellbinders Label 4.

THANK YOU for visiting. Hope you have a great Sunday GO TITANS!! (poor babies are so bad this year!)

Cheers!

Family Love

Good Friday Morning to you all!!! I hope you have a wonderful day today. I get to go to my friend Tina's house and play with her Anya stamps! woohooo. But first let me share this scrapbook page with you. I got this idea from a magazine, CK possibly. Just take a bunch of strips of coordinating paper to make a border around your focal point. So cute and a great way to use up some scraps. When I went on my scrapping weekend at the cabin ALL of us made a page like this. For the faux stitching I used CTMH Simple Stitches (i did not have the sewing machine at the cabin so i faked it) The patterned paper and that paper flower is My Minds Eye. Love that paper kit!!! The bar code is CTMH Code it. The family love was spelled out with American Crafts foam and felt stickers. I would like to see yours if you try it yourself. Everyone turns out so differently. I have already tried this morning to make more Father's Day cards and failed. I threw what i have done so far in the trash. I just have such a hard time with manly cards!! ARRG! I'll try again later. Thanks for stopping by. ENJOY your long weekend!!!!
Cheers!
