~Doily Lace Card W/ Scraptastic Club~

Good morning my crafty friends,

I have one last March project with the Scraptastic Club March kit.

I used the Samantha Walker Doily Lace cut file

with my fantastic Silhouette Cameo.

I was not sure about it at first but I ended up loving it!

I love the colors and added a banner and the fun stickers from Authentique.

Yesterday I took the day off and had lunch with the girls, plus

a sweet pedicure! A much needed small break.

A nice neon pink color...this photo is not true LOL

Anyways I am off to bake today, I have a girl's night out party

coming up tomorrow! WOOT~

I think I have to make enough food for 15 women, should

be a busy week in the Hobbs home.

Happy Thursday my friends, tomorrow I will post the winner

of the butterfly punch and a new giveaway! :)

I love my friends and their kids, it's a fun spring activity to watch

them play with the new chicks. :)

~Embossed Cards & Tags~

Good morning my friends,

I have some more cards I made with Globecraft Memories

I also used the Piccolo Enamel Powder, and the

cool 14K Gold powder again, this finishes up the set I made.

I really am digging the embossing, and cannot wait to try some more.

Plus the chipboard was fun too.

That's it for me today, I have some fun projects coming up

~Tattoo Weekend + Baseball Player In Training LO~

Good morning my friends,

What a weekend we had, we spent 80% of it in Tattoo shops.

But first I have this layout to share....

I don't have girls but I have the most amazing friends with

little girls, and it has become the light of my life for sure!

(of course my boys are amazing but I have light enough for 20 more LOL)

Anyways created this layout last week with some snapped iPhone photos

from the ball field last week, how funny if this kid????

I am peeing my pants watching her, she is such a sweet hoot~

So this weekend hubby set out to get a tattoo, we made an appointment

at Absolute Ink in Murfreesboro with Jay. He drew up the tattoo, we

showed for the appointment, then waited 1.5 hours, then Jay decided

he would not tattoo hubby because he didn't think hubs was "ready" and he

wasn't "feeling" him -so he said no and started playing with his phone.

Yea that was super cool and professional *ugh*, I knew tattoo

artist were known to be flaky but this was so heartbreaking after

saving our money for a year and having it all ready and making

our appointments....the guy acted like we weren't worth his time.

anyways...

since hubby has waited 36 years for this tattoo we decided to find

a more professional shop and head to Nashville.

I am so happy we did, Blackbird Tattoo & Gallery had the nicest people

who were completely professional and Ed drew up hubby's tattoo,

then we came back Sunday to get the actual tattoo done.

I went to teach my card class and met up with hubby later.

It was a great experience and Ed was just amazing.
This was the end result, a pink haired girl with her head severed

and a skull holding it up. It was a celebration of our 10 years together

but in hubby's twisted horror way LOL
The colors will be brighter as it heals, he did a great job,

I am so excited we found this shop.
So that was our tattoo adventure that lasted from Saturday until

Sunday night, I was happy to get home!!!

Hope today makes you smile like sweet Payton made me smile.

Happy Monday~

Products Used:

Samantha Walker Digital Files from Jessica Sprague website

~Bright Sunshiny Day Acrylic Card~

Good morning my friends,

This week Clear Scraps and Pink Paislee are partnering up for some

creative fun, and this is what I ended up making. :)

The Heart Send It Clear Card and the cool Pink Paislee

Prairie Hill collections with touches of the Indigo Blue.

I love the patterns and colors...made me smile the whole time!

I also used the Glitter Liner and Pearl Pen from Viva Decor.

And a lace doily I had one hand from a Tally Scrapper kit a long

time ago, I think it was from Kaiser Craft.

I love the denim look and this is how the card looks

open of you are as confused as I was the first time around LOL

Fun stuff, be sure to stop by the Clear Scraps blog and the Pink Paislee

blog all week long, I am sure they will have prizes too! WOOT!~

Have a wonderful weekend my friends,

I am off to Mt. Juliet to teach a class today.

~Card Making With Embossing~

Happy Saturday my crafty friends,

I have some fun cards I made with Globecraft Memories

I am in love with the Piccolo Enamel Powder, check out the

cool 14K Gold powder I used on these cards.

The outline of the card is also enamel powder called "Girl's Night Out".

I am normally not a purple girl but I found some Bo Bunny papers and

popped it up with Kanban metallic papers (my favorite)

it all blended nicely, I was happy with the end result.

We will have to see if these pop up anywhere fun~

~All Things Altered Blog Hop~

Good morning my crafty friends!!

Welcome to the "All Things Altered Blog Hop"!!

My friend Pam asked me to join her blog hop and it's so much fun.

Many prizes along the way.....you should have arrived from Pam's

blog http://www.pammejo-scrapbookflair.blogspot.com

For this blog hop I made a chalkboard from a old frame and the paint

of my choice. (recipe below).

I used vintage lace, twine, a Purple Cows punch, pearl pens, paint

unsanded tile grout, old frame, and a small board.

I actually began the chalkboard at a Pinterest Party, then my friend

Melody brought it home for me so I could finish it off.

Here is the homemade chalkboard paint recipe:

Start with flat-finish latex paint in any shade. For small areas, such as a door panel, mix 1 cup at a time.

1. Pour 1 cup of paint into a container. Add 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Mix with a paint stirrer, carefully breaking up clumps.

2. Apply paint with a roller or a sponge paintbrush to a primed or painted surface. Work in small sections, going over the same spot several times to ensure full, even coverage. Let dry.

3. Smooth area with 150-grit sandpaper, and wipe off dust.

4. To condition: Rub the side of a piece of chalk over entire surface. Wipe away residue with a barely damp sponge.

Ok on to the next blog....

~Cards & Hunger Game SVG *Free*~

Good morning my friends,

I cannot believe it is already Thursday and Spring Break is almost over!

It just flew by, yesterday we hit the library and yard work, I

capped off the day out to dinner with the girls. Fun times....

Anyways I made these cards this week.

Two Kanban cards, I have more projects coming too! Been a great

creative week so far.

This one I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the card shape,

and added the cool KanBan accents.

And this one I just whipped up because I loved the zebra animal print.

I also wanted to share part of the Hunger Game SVG's I am working on.

This is the arrow.

next few days including a blog hop with many prizes, so stay tuned!

~My Long Beautiful Road & Sweet Friends~

Good morning my friends,

While we are in the midst of spring break and 86 degree days here in TN,

I took time out in my craft room to create this week.

Ok it's mostly hiding from the boys LOL

I created this layout "My Long Beautiful Road", with some

snapshots I took a month ago. Hubs called me at 6am and said "Hurry

go to the railroad tracks and fields and take photos!"

It was a beautiful frosty wonderland. He knows me so well.

Anyways this railroad shot really gave me some reflection on my life this year.

The lessons I am learning as I get older.

Journaling: As I approach 40 I see now that people who want to

find fault with you, are insecure and not always worth the pain they

bring to your life. If they choose to see you as a bad person you cannot

fix their choice no matter how much kindness or love you give to them.

Just let the insecurity go~

You cannot blame yourself for others insecurities.

Treasure those who love you for your kindness & love.

I used the amazing Samantha Walker papers, and the sweet

Purple Cows Punch to make the banner. :)

Here is the original photo I took. Such a fantastic morning

it really gave me so much to think about and gave me such inner peace.

Oh and I wanted to show you a couple shots I took yesterday!

Miss P is going to be in a pageant and we needed a head shot,

she did not want to sit still for anything LOL but I did get some

cute candid shots of her. :)

Isn't she precious, it was a sweet day.

What a blessing she is in my life.

I am so blessed to be surrounded by sweet little girls and

some amazing boys too. It's going to be a fantastic summer!!!

Cannot wait for the picnics, park trips, and parties.

I think this sun is really helping my mood LOL

Happy Hump Day my friends!!!!
