Handmade Birthday Card Fun~

Hello Sunday morning!

We had the best family day yesterday, it began with Friday

night and baking tons of cookies, Snickerdoodles & Scotchies,

then Saturday morning making this card for Dakota's birthday party.

Heading off to the bowling alley for his 10th birthday party, then

coming home for a few, grabbing cookies and blankets and

heading to a Halloween Hay Ride party in the country.

The boys had a ball and so did we! Good fun family day,

I love those days.

Ok so this card is a wonderful Kanban card, I feel like I am so professional!

I popped out the die cuts, added the black card-stock and used my i-rock

for bling, I used my Glue Glider Pro and Rais'ems from Glue Arts (of course).

It only took me 20 minutes. Love that! :)

Stay tuned for a Glue Arts GIVEAWAY this week, and a special offer too!

Have a wonderful Sunday, I am off to spend it with my beautiful boys.

~First Kanban Project W/ Glue Arts~

I am in love with the rich details.

I love how professional my card looks this was really a fun experience.

I canot wait for my next project, it is sitting on my desk now.

I also used my Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro, and Rais'ems on this card.

~Winner + Crafty Friends Cards I love!~

Happy Friday!!! I am so happy it is finally Friday!

I had the best mails yesterday, this sweet card from Denise in Florida,

and I definitely wanted to showcase it because she is so talented

but not all over blog land. Isn't this card super fun?!

I love the color combo and the cupcake theme.

She even heat embossed the front starbursts,

and placed and extra cupcake inside.

Her work always amazes me, she is the queen of 2 page layouts.

And I received this card from the gal who won the Cuttlebug on

my blog a couple weeks ago! Kelly S. SOOOO sweet! :)

I love the stamp and the beautiful color combo.

I am very blessed to have such sweet friends from all over the world.

Thank you all so much!

~Not Always Perfect~

Good morning too all my crafty friends! :)

It's funny because even after all this time in scrapbooking and

all the pubs, I still have those not so perfect moments where I

want to tear up a card or layout and start over.

But lately I have been just setting it aside instead.

Resisting the urge to purge the project! haha

This is one of those cards I was not happy with but I set it aside.

I always make cards for the soldiers and local Veteran's hospital

and I have little boxes I ship off with the cards.

So I got to thinking..."Hey this might not be the greatest card

I ever made but why toss it?? Why not donate it, it's not horrible! LOL"

Note to self...don't get frustrated, it's only paper and glue!!

On a side note, do you like that clock stamp?? I got the set for 1.50!!

Along with a Tim Holtz clock die for 3.00!!

At a yard sale of all places...so I am pretty stocked.

The card is Ruby Rock-It papers and embellishments, it is safely

tucked into my donation box, right where it belongs *smile*.

Have a wonderful Thursday, don't forget to enter the giveaway

from Monday! I will draw a winner tomorrow!

~Acrylic Layout: Girls Of Fall Ball~

Good morning my friends,

You know our Fall Baseball season is over now, and we

affectionately call it "Fall Ball". Of course I take hundreds of photos

on the field but I also take many photos of the little girls

and boys who come to watch and play.

So I decided to make a collage layout with these adorable

sweet little faces.

Of course I used my Clear Scraps acrylic 12X12 sheet as the base,

then I layered on the Basic Grey Indie Bloom papers and stickers.

I also used my copper Viva Decor Pen as pearl accents,

and some vintage lace from my friend Gloria.

Then I added bling with my i-rock tool and used my Fiskars

shape cutter to create all the circles.

I really just relaxed and had fun making this layout.

I love all those sweet smiles :) Makes me so happy!

Happy Hump Day my friends♡♡

~Panty Card For Halloween??!!~

Good morning my crafty friends,

yesterday I was feeling a little rowdy and rambunctious so

I decided to make a Halloween card with the Tally Scrapper Kit

that used the bra and panty template. Just for kicks.

Won't these be fun for my Halloween party? I think so!

Everything except the flowers are from the Tally Scrapper

Artfully Wicked October Kit.

Oh and by the way all the previous kits are on clearance from

17.00 to 19.99! The sale ends soon but it's a good sale.

Ok I am off to lunch with my gf's today,

I really need a girl's day out and my friend Melody,

it was her birthday yesterday, so it's a good time to go

to lunch and celebrate friendship and birthdays!!

Happy Tuesday everyone~

~Just One More Digi Layout + Giveaway!~

Good morning my friends!

I know I am not the pro digi scrapper but I am having fun playing.

This week I am going to try new software that my friend Jamie

uses and half the other girls on the SW DT and see if it helps :)

Here is one more layout...it was Gage at the ball field.

BUT he was not playing so I wanted it to be fun.

See how I added baseball stitching on the back circle?

Anyways it was just fun.

The class was awesome yesterday and I have a fun weekend overall.

Fall Baseball Season is OVER! Life resumes *YEA*

My teenage boy had his first phone calls from girls this weekend,

it was a milestone weekend. LOL

Hope your weekend was amazing too!

Since it is MONDAY I thought a giveaway would be awesome.

When I was cleaning my scrap room I found this printed word album

I thought it would make a great giveaway!

No requirements, just leave a comment and on Friday I will

post a WINNER! Spread the word please! :)

Happy Monday!

~Orange Fiskateer Crop Fun~

Good morning my crafty friends!

On the rare occasion I hop up at 7am on the weekend and head out

for scrappy fun, it is usually for something big.

Yesterday the Fiskateers held a TN Crop Party right here in my town!

It was so much fun catching up with old friends whom I have not

seen in quite some time, and making new friends! :)

Here is Tanya playing with her scrap goodness.

And the amazing Ms. Bettye, teaching the gals how to make a

personalized bottle. Bettye is so talented, she threw the whole party!

Here are the orange capped bottles.

I forgot to make one LOL

Here is Zigz, getting ready for the photo.

And the gal in purple lives right down the road from me.

Such a sweetheart.

Here is Stephanie, who I have not seen since we went to WV

I think! And my new friend Laura, and I think I see Renee back there too LOL

Here is the group shot I took and framed it! :)

It was such a beautiful day.

These tags were made from a Fiskateer who lives many states

away from us, Merlene! She mailed them in for the crop!

I love crafters they are so kind!

Here are the adorable cards Bettye designed for them to create.

She is just so talented, such amazing cards!

Here is the card I created.

And a collage of all the food and tables...YUMMMMMYYY! :)

It was a good day, and my husband, amazing husband stayed

the entire time to help out. What a doll! :)

Anyways I just wanted to share with y'all, it was a really good time to

get out and chat with friends. I never go to crops, so this was a treat!

Happy Sunday! I am off to teach my class today~

~October: Save The Tatas Month~

Good morning my friends,

I think everyone knows someone, or has had an experience with

someone who survived or passed on with Breast Cancer.

I know I have friends fighting it now, I have family who have

passed fighting this horrible disease. It's hard when you helpless

except to encourage, lend and hand, and support.

You probably know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

In the spirit of this, I made a card I have not made since I began

scrapbooking, a bra card from the lingerie set I made long ago

from this Blog post right here.

I combined Pink Paislee, Pink By Design Stamps, Glue Arts Rais'ems,

Glue Glider Pro Plus & my I-rock for this fun and very girl friendly card.

It was actually really fun to update something I made in 2008! :)

Can you believe I have been scrapping for 3 years now?? OH my,

how my life has changed. LOL

I love the cherub/angel on the Pink Paislee paper and the lace.

Perfect for all my thoughts on strong women who are fighting

to win this battle around the world every day.

They truly are angels.

~Every Moment Is A Gift~

Good morning my friends,

I definitely believe that every moment is a gift and when I received

this stamp from Unity/Samantha Walker I knew exactly what

I wanted to make with it. It was a perfect combo for the

"Artfully Wicked Tally Scrapper Kit!"

I really love the rich fall colors in this kit and the versatility!

I also added the Clear Scraps Clearly Accent Embellishments for the acrylic

piece that I stamped the sentiment on.

It was a fun combo and a fun project.

I also used the brand NEW Glue Glider Pro with the "flip" cartridge

and it is so cool. You have to try it, it's purple and it rolls either way!

But it still has the awesome Glue Arts Glue in it.

Oh and I have some fun news to share today,

I have been asked to create with KanBan Crafts!

I am very excited about this new opportunity.

I cannot wait to play with the vintage style goodies.

See y'all tomorrow!
