Love the cuff! It is screaming for me to make one for my wonderful neighbor Kathy! She loves stuff like this and since I will be making 1 why not make one more for me? I have to say that the stamp you are giving away is me to a tee! I have a bad habit of interrupting people because I have a tendency to lose a thought if I don't say it when I am thinking it! LOL If I don't win it I am going to have to buy one of them! Kathy (neighbor) will love a "just because" card with that saying on it from me! Thanks for sharing!

Just email or facebook me your address! 

Thank you all for coming by on the blog hop.... :)

~Christmas In July?!~

Good morning my crafty friends,

Seems like a contradiction to be watching Big Brother, catching frogs, and

scrapbooking Christmas cards! LOL But it's true, Christmas in July is happening

in my house. Thanks heavens for the rain and clouds, I can almost feel it that way.

I was excited to see BB back on this week! It's one show both hubby and I watch.

This is a cute frog Bradley caught right before we BBQ'd hamburgers this week. 

And now to the fun stuff!

One f the fun new designs from Clear Scraps....

don't forget they are having a giveaway this week, so check in!

This card is the "Bell" design, I decided to go with Christmas

but you could go with wedding or anniversary too. 

I embossed the bell part, then used my Liquid Pearls to pop it up.

I added a sentiment in the middle of the bell. 

I left the card clear on purpose, just because I wanted it to show

through to the back patterned paper. 

Ok I am off to create some more today, I have several new projects on my table

ready for photographing and some of them are even drying LOL!

Have a wonderful Friday my friends~

~No Crafts, Just Photos & Family Fun Today!~

Whew, good morning my friends, what a weekend!!

First of all Happy Father's Day to any real dads out there.

Especially to my hubby, I thought I would share what the boys got

dad for Father's Day...this Pup Seal knife. And he loves it! :) 

We also spent Father's Day at the lake with the boys, then

when we got home I make White Chicken Chili and it was a good day. 

Here are the boys swimming...well 2 of them, the other one just wanted to EAT.

And the first part of our weekend began with THIS!!!!!!!!!! :)

Our sweet Crushers winning 1st PLACE GOLD in baseball!

It was an amazing moment and very fun. Cannot wait for fall ball but

thank heaven's this part is over LOL We still have tournaments for my

16 yr old this week, so it will be busy but 2 down and one to go!

Thought I would share my son's photo LOL

While everyone else was sitting holding the trophy, not my kid!

He was doing some odd stealth ninja move LOL

He was PUMPED! :) He is not the best player on the

team and bless his heart we know it but he has the most heart for sure. 

He skips off and on the field and always tries. 

Gotta love this kid. 

Here is the silly pose with the trophy. LOVES IT!

 And how could I NOT share our coaches first pose? LOL

Last year he gave me a special picture too. I love this guy, he 

is a man all the way and it's not a bad thing. 

So this is why my hands are clean and no crafts have happened

this weekend. I officially took 4 days off which is REALLY rare, ok

let's be honest I only took 2 LOL but it was necessary. 

Just wanted to give a quick reminder about my latest class.

It is ONLY 20.00! Sign ups are this week!

Hurry because the class begins the 28th.

That's it for me today, I promise a project will magically

appear tomorrow!! :) Happy Monday!!!!

~Express Yourself Layout- Scraptastic Club~

Good morning my friends, 

I have a layout to share today (no it's not digi!) LOL It's 100% paper.

It's a layout about my new tattoo using the Scraptastic Club June 2012

PB&J Kit and the PB&J Add-on I LOVE them! You need to check them out!

Ok so on a side note, when I decided this year was my tattoo year

I thought nothing of it. I just thought I was almost 40 and I had wanted these

tattoos for 20+ years, so I was just going to do it. 

They all mean something special, it's like a little journal of my life.

I never even thought anyone would care if my arm was all tatted up.

In fact I thought no one would care. That's exactly what I thought about my

pink hair!! LOL Silly me...people really are either very pro or very con

and they do say things quite a bit about it. 

Bt it's all good I am old enough to handle it *wink*

But it is funny to look at it from my point of view...one of these days I will

stop being so naive...or maybe I just don't think about it because at the

end of the day I just don't care what anyone thinks except my hubs and I. 

But I LOVED the "Please don't rain on my parade" sticker, really that is

why I scrapbooked this entire layout! LOL Perfect! 

Oh and the photo is my new tattoo, my 3 little tikis, that stand for my 3 boys.

Ok that's it for me today...

Don't forget the Clear Scraps Acrylic Card class....sign ups are now! :)

Ok off to play ball again today, this is our last week, it's tournament week!!!

~Winner + Mini Pocket Album + Class Is Open!!~

Good morning my friends, I am typing this

late at night and listening to the thunder and watching the lightning. 

I love a good storm...anyways I have 2 things to share today!

This is a little pocket mini album I made from Trinity Paper Arts goodness,

 I took the journaling cards from the patterned paper and created this little

album and made a little pocket for it. Totally fun and cute. 

 I also used the Purple Cows Pin It for the metal heart pins *love*

 I like the idea of having one of these in your bag or wallet. 

Oh and my class is OPEN for enrollment! I will be giving away

a FREE class this week so stay tuned for your chance!

The class will be 20.00 and you can access it day or night.

I worked very hard on 40+ minutes of step by step tutorials. 

VERY easy to follow, and you will love the acrylic cards!

Go check it out!

Number one there might just be a BIG announcement right here...

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

This is a company that is near and dear to my heart...so please check it out. 

Number 2 I wanted to share this card I made last week for the Samantha 

Walker Designs Blog, they had a special feature and I used

my Silhouette machine alone with the SW digital cuts and papers to create this card. 

I LOVE these files and the paper. 

Number 3 I have a new class coming up! 

The sign up will be open very soon! It is 4 unique cards I created

using acrylic, the same techniques I have used in my published cards

from the magazines!! :) It's only 20.00 and will begin at the end of June,

so please stay tuned. I made OVER 40 minutes of step by step videos for

 this class, I mean STEP BY STEP! You won't miss anything. 

And I think that is it today! I am off to take my boys to the library

and check on my friend. 

A dear and close friend's step mother passed away this week, 

so I ask all you blog friends to please say a few prayers for her this week. 

Have a wonderful Thursday and thanks for sharing with me today.
