~Crafty Valentine's Treat~

No this is not the most creative thing I have done,

but no project has ever brought me so much joy.

My son is doing his class Valentine's and I bought him the ones from the
store because he loves choosing them.
BUT I wanted to do something special so I started making little candy matchbook covers with flowers on little M&M's bags.

He walked into my scrap room and I showed him what i was doing...

he gasped in delight and said "Its a good thing you know how to scrap MOM!, now my gifts will be even more special than anyone else's!"

He even agreed to graciously give me one more day to finish 20 of them! LOL And told me I could go to bed last night instead of staying up all night finishing them! ROFL!

He said "IF you get tired, you CAN go to bed, I can wait one more day"


I love my kids, I love my life today~
Have a beautiful day

~Tuesday is my PINK DAY!~

I know I know you are saying...Pinky...PINKY why all the PINK! LOL
Well my DT kit was pink so by golly I am making PINK pages!

The white embellishments are actually clear stickers I placed on cardstock and cut out.
Tomorrow I need to work on making some fabric embellishments as well!

Hope y'all have a great week!
Here's to crafting!

~Mayhem Monday?!~

So excited I finally get to share some of my work from the February Kit #2 on Treasured Scrapbooking! These are just a couple pages I have done in the last 2 weeks!

I never did find a title for this one, I just liked it bare. It is my 7th Wedding Anniversary TODAY! And I sort of made this is commemoration of it.
Well this and a sex coupon book LOL


And here is a LO using the stamp in the kit and my sketch to match.
I have to say I managed to make 3 ALL PINK boy Lo's this month! Not bad right?
Bwhahaha! You can make ANY scrap page work for you, just remember..NO RULES!
I love this pink page and who cares if it is PINK it still rocks in my book!
I still have one more page that is all PINK for tomorrow.


Great mix right?
Its all for fun anyways. No pressure!
Have a great Monday

~Feb. 1st already!!~

And I finally get to share what I have been working on the last two weeks.
That has been the hardest part of being on a DT.
I usually work on a page/project then share it on my blog.
Now I have to save them, BUT it's soooo worth it!.

Oh and on a side note DO NOT FORGET the Treasured Scrapbooking
WE LOVE OUR MEMBERS CONTEST! It begins today!

You totally should check out the monthly sketch challenge in
Treasured Scrapbooking this month!
Why you may ask? Well because I made the sketch! LOL And it's gonna rock!
I had so much fun playing with Photoshop to make this happen.
I am loving the Cosmo Cricket Chemistry line way more than I thought I would.

If your a football fan, Have a great Super Bowl!
And if not then just have a great Sunday!
I am sure I will be watching off and on.
Probably rooting for the Steelers.
But I do not follow closely enough for it to break my heart.
The boys will enjoy the cooking I have to do LOL
Off to mom land

I started a couple pages for a friend.
~Pinky~

~The week is almost over!

I finally did some scrapping today. It was recipe cards for a swap in Just Scrappin'.
I always get stumped when it comes to recipe cards.
I can do one kick ass project but make me do an assembly line and I freak!
So I did very simple just fun funky cards.
I got the recipe from a felow Freak on Scrapfreak! YUMMY!

Ok and on to the random draw winner...

So this Photo tag is to take the 6th folder from my picture folder,
find the 6th picture, and post with explanation.
Well, mine is not that exciting I tell you what LOL

He was tired of the sun hitting his eyes and I took 20 shots and
this was just one.

~Tuesday is flying by~

Well, I have good news, the little one is slowly recovering, which means, I might be able to get out of the livingroom for more than 5 minutes today! And I might be able to sleep without him and a puke bucket tomorrow!~ hehehe

Here is my finished coupon book.
Now remember I am married and it is semi-adult. (it's not really that bad LOL)
I think it is a super FUN idea and I bet hubby will love it!
Plus it gets me out of buying him something! Bwhahaha!

And I also finished my videos for the class
So if your so inclined the class is UP for SALE
right HERE
It is 22.99
and includes everything you need for a 8 to 10 page 6X6 Album
with Alcohol Inks that will in all honesty, make at least 10 more full 12X12 pages!
That little tray lasts forever! I have done 6 pages so far with it.

Ok on to other things...mainly LIFE!
Have a great Tuesday!

And I have had an over whelming response to the sewing caddy.
So I will be giving one away very soon.
~Much love~
~Pinky~

~Monday Blues~

It has been a LONG weekend and an even longer Monday so far LOL

I did however complete my class project today and it will go up for sale this week.
Here is the finished photo.

I sure had fun playing with alcohol inks and acrylics.
I did the class in half video and half pictures this time for those on Dial up.
I like the end result, so I am happy with it overall.
Not as embellished as I am used to but I think it really does show the acrylic ink art.

Have a beautiful Monday, Back to my sick boy.
~Pinky~

~Sunday....

Well I tweaked on it a bit more and this is the final take.
I think I will make a matching PIN cushion to attach to the top.
But I am happy with it! I even added one of those flowers from the last tutorial that I did!

So what are you working on today??
Have a beautiful Sunday
~Pinky~

~A Sewing Saturday!

I am so excited. You know there is a little sewing "club" on Fiskateers/Fiskars and they ask people to make projects and do tutorials on them so they can post them.
Well, it took me a couple weeks but I finally finished one of the projects!
Now this is BEFORE I put a cute flower on it and finished it.
But it is a sewing caddy/mat.
It goes under your machine and you can set your scissors in it or whatever you might need.
I will let you know when the full tutorial will be up
and I will also post it here!
It's cute aye???It's easy to make too! It only took like 1 hour.
Perfect for the shortcut sewer like me!

~Pinky~
I like it!

~Freaky Friday is right!!~

Boy, today I have been chasing my son with a bowl LOL
Poor little guy, I cannot wait until they are old enough to just go be sick in the bathroom.
Ok OK I know you are saying TMI Pinky TMI!!!!
Just show us some scrap work! hehehe

OK here is what I have been working on.
I am only sharing the front because I will use it as a challenge in TS in February. But I have indeed been scrapping. This is a Valentine's Day Coupon Book...see the Tickets inside?? Bwhahaha, you will have to tune in to TS this month to find out what the inside says.

OK back to Puky and the gang!
~Pinky~

~Busy with a sick keiki, now two sick ones~

My babies have been sick this week, so my poor blog has been neglected.

So far we have had a trip to the hospital and Asthma Attacks and Bronchitis.
Here's to hoping next week is better!

I do have a sneak peek of my scrapping this week.
This is for Treasured Scrapbooking, for FEB. Kit #2
You know me, I am not color biased so yes this is an ALL PINK Boy Page!
That's right ALL PINK! LOL
And this is part of the Alcohol INK Acrylic Album Class I am working on.
Should be done tomorrow.

So in between running for the boys and dispensing breathing treatments and meds
I sneak off and scrap (not really, I do it when hubby is home)
Have a beautiful Wednesday
~Pinky~

~My new Class~

Well I have been asked to do another class!
This time it is working with Acrylics, (of course, my favorite) aaannnnddd.....
Alcohol INKS! How fun!

This one was fun for me. Just playing around with inks and colors.
Very relaxing.

~Sunday's WINNER~

and let me just say I got a DEAL on them!
I found them at Joann's for 2.00 and 1.00 and I found them online for 16.99 and 5.39!
WHOA!
That makes me happy and this next paragraph will make one lucky blog friend happy too!
Now I went down the list and number 25 was...

Scrapbooking is my "Me" time. It helps me remember so much. I use to forget the "little things" that matter so much in life. Now when I scrap it is documented and the moment is set in my memory when I complete a page.

I am one of your followers. I might not comment on every entry, but I enjoy coming to your blog whenever you have an update. You always have something exciting to read. And your work is simply gorgeous!
