~Beam Me Up Scotty!!~

Ok not really....LOL 

But when I see oodles of stars I always think of that famous quote "Beam me up Scotty"!!

I love the stars in the Scraptastic Barn Door kit! *Swoon*

I used Clearsnap Smooch Spritz on these, then adhered them.

I dug out an old 7 Gypsies stamp I had from way back when 

Treasured Scrapbooking was open and used it because it was perfect for this! :) 

 I cannot wait to pass this card along...

Ok off to get busy, I have videos to make and classes to prepare...

at My Creative Classroom I am teaching several classes this fall! 

And Sunday I am teaching locally in Mt. Juliet a Silhouette class!

There is still room, if you would like to join in. 

Just call the Scrap Room.

Happy Thursday!

~Best Thing EVAH! + Back To School~

Good morning my friends, 

In case you hadn't noticed I took a few days off last week, 

I had to give myself some times to get these chickens of mine back to school!

Let me share this new Easel card, then I'll post photos of the kids below. 

Today I wanted to share these Easel Cards from Globecraft Memories.

 I created this card and a short tutorial for Globecraft

*which can be found here *LINK**

They are fun little cards to make and completely unique!

Oh and this FUNNY adorable stamp you ask? 

Yep it's those ATTITUDE stamps from Pink By Design! You know 

the ones my gf made with a few of my quotes. :)  

I LOVE THEM!

 And the card itself was entirely the August Barn Door Kit...

I love the vintage retro feel to it. 

Go to Globecraft and check out the way these Easel Cards work..they are fun time!

Ok on to personal stuff :) (See how I posted all the crafty

first so no one has to bother with my personal stuff-hehehe)

It seems like this summer was literally non-stop and I am ready

to be back on a schedule again. Also a few weeks ago we had a car malfunction,

it's come time to buy a new car, so after much stress and struggle we got

out hands on a used car, all in all it just set me back in blogging! LOL

 *Funny Story* All the kids in school are so anxious to get back in their new

clothes, all dolled up...NOT MY BOYS! LOL They picked the OLDEST clothing

(even thought I had bought new) their old faves and insisted on wearing them LOL

 Nonetheless I grabbed a couple photos :) Entering 3RD grade!

 And the LAST year in Elementary School for my middle boy...5th grade! :) 

They grow up SO FAST!

I will post a photo of my car tomorrow after I grab one :) 

Happy Monday everyone!

~New Glasses & NEW CHA Releases!!~

Good morning my friends, 

I FINALLY gor my new glasses(my first REAL glasses) Sunday night. 

They are pink with little hearts on the side...(I mean did you expect anything less?) LOL

So far they still make me queasy but apparently I need them because I 

can officially read the TV Guide on TV now! WOOT! Good stuff...

oh that and seeing what time it is...LOL

Ok I have had these sitting in my photo booth for a few weeks now

the pictures are not picture perfect because I was in a rush to get them out

for CHA, but you have to check out the NEW Ornament Globes

from Globecraft Memories.

They have them for Halloween too, and many other holidays!

LOVE me some Globe Ornaments. 

On this one I added pearl pen and wrote "Dear Santa" on the globe.

 For this one I added a Clearsnap Design Adhesive and Glitter.

 And on these two I stamped the words BELIEVE and PEACE

using my StazOn and Pink By Design Stamps.

 They really are fun, go check them out! 

 Ok I am off to tend to the kids, who are fighting like cats and dogs this week.

I think they know school is coming, and believe me so do I! :)

Happy Tuesday friends~

~ATTITUDE Chick Cards!~

Good morning my friends! :) 

I spent a little time (between thunder storms) this weekend crafting. 

I broke into my stamps and my new Scraptastic Club kit.

I am in love with the beautiful colors and style of this August "Barn Door" kit. 

I love the little Pebbles Candy Dots in the add-on...LOVE THEM!!!

I know they send me the kit to design with BUT if I didn't love it I would tell ya :) 

It's a beautiful kit, one of my favorites for sure. 

OH and these stamps!

A while ago I called a gf from Pink By Design stamps and 

asked her if she could make a set of stamps that used the silly phrases

me and my gal pals use. She threw in her own ideas and came up with

this adorable ATTITUDE set of stamps! :) 

How cute are these quotes?! The "What's Up Buttercup" is mine! :) 

I say that all the time. 

Did you check out the little wooden arrows? *SWOON*

Yes I am a paper nerd...and I spritzed them with last month's 

Mister Hueys mist...*Double swoon*....fun times.

 I know they are "simple" but I love the clean feel of them. 

All good scrappin fun. 

Ok I am off to buy my boys shoes and get them haircuts today. 

School begins in 2 days...OI VAY does anyone remember

the 12 weeks summer? Now it is BARELY 6 weeks! LOL 

~Sweet Little Angels Mini Album~

Good morning my crafty friends,

today I wanted to share a little MINI mini album I created. 

Over the summer we have become fast friends with 3 very special little girls. 

I thought this would be a fun way for them to see all the photos I took 

of them together.  So I grabbed my Scraptastic Club Nostalgic Summer Kit

and my Bind-It-All and went to town! :) 

 If you head to the Bind-It-All blog you can find step by step instructions.

 I just LOVE the little clipboard covers Zutter makes! :)

This was a fun little kit and a fun project. 

I love my Scraptastic Kit Club, Jessica is amazing at piecing together great kits. 

I am off to create some more today! :) Happy Friday my friends. 

~Adopted Girlyness~

Good morning my crafty friends,

I was a busy bee this week! :) 

You know last week I was working on purses, and this week

my gf Hayley called and asked me to make sweet P a birthday dress

with a #2. When I went to find a pattern I decided to make not just the 

birthday dress but dresses for all her little girlyfriends too! :) 

I called the moms and we found the right fabric for each chikita banana,

and I got to work. Now I am working on the headbands, but I think they are adorable!

I will try to get a photo of them in the dresses when I am all done with the accessories. 

Fun times! :) 

Happy Thursday my friends~

~Perfect Day Acrylic Card + FREE SVG!~

Good morning and Happy August 1st my friends!!

Today I have an acrylic card to share with the new 

Avocado Arts Perfectly Perfect Day Stamp set.

And AA is sharing a FREE .SVG today!! :) WOOHOO!

*scroll down for more information*

 For this card I used Clear Scraps acrylic for the base, 

I stamped the clouds, 4 of them. Then cut them out and

layered them. I used StazOn to stamp the kite trail onto the acrylic.

 And I used a cool ORANGE Sharpie Paint pen to surround the entire card.

Those Sharpie paint pens are a fun time on acrylic, I tell you what.

It was a fun card to make. 

Be sure to check out the rest of the Avocado Arts team:

 INCLUDING AA for the FREE SVG! :) 

They are giving away this fun Easel Card cut file. You know they

have awesome SVG's/Cut Files for the stamps. I love that. 

Ok off to grab your free file and check out the girls!
