Easter Stuff

A Card for Easter. I have to finish up a couple more and I will post after I send them out. I used my Copic Markers to color this digi image. Used up some scrap paper as well.

Here are some baskets I made for my nieces & nephews for their Easter goodies. I found the file on the SCAL forum. It was easy. The chicks are for the boys and the bunnies are for the girls. I downloaded the file for the chicks & bunnies from myscrapchick.com.

Side view of the basket. I added some rhinestones for a little embellishment.

The bunny.

The Chick!

Happy Easter!!!

St. Patty's Day Cards

A few new cards... I am part Irish so I need to make some St. Patty's Day Cards. I am trying to use up some scrap paper, no better way than to make cards. I also want to use my new Copic Markers!! Love Them!

The middle of this card is a sticker I had left over and the bottom shamrock is colored with Copics an cut out. I used pop dots for some dimension although you can't see it.

Another Shamrock that I colored with my Copics. Used the Mini Monograms Cricut Cartridge and cut it out with my Cricut for the scalloped square behind the shamrock.

Used a sticker tag and mounted it on paper to pop it. Same colored shamrock cut out. Used pop dots to add dimension.

Here is my Favorite card. Since I got sick of using the only St. Patty's Day stamp I had I printed out a digi stamp (free coloring pages) and colored it with my Copic Markers. Isn't he awesome. Added some bling, and presto.

Happy St. Patty's Day....

a few Valentine's

Here are a few cards I made for Valentine's Day.

I am totally into Owls.....

This one is my new stamp from Stampin' Up!!! So cute. I placed my first order for some Stampin' Up and got my stuff in! yesterday!! Whoo Hoo! I also bought my first set of Copic Markers. I love them. I am sad I waited so long. They are so nice to blend colors. I am not really sure what I am doing but it is so fun anyway. I also used my new Cricut Cartridge Mini Monograms to make the scalloped pieces behind the stamps to add dimension.

Happy Valentine's day.

2 new cards

Here is a card I did for my daughter's B-day. She already opened it so it is smudgy. I used the Hannah Montana guitar (thanks Jen!) file I got from a friend. I used Wild Card cartridge for the "Wish" using my Cricut. I punched the stars using my Fiskars punches.

Here is a "puppy" card I did for my Niece's Birthday. She is 3 and LOVES puppies. I found this one and made it in SCAL. It was on Mardenz blog. I had some heart puppy paper in my scraps. You probably can't tell by the photo but I glittered the Happy Birthday that I stamped.

I found this cute saying in a stamp, I couldn't resist for the inside of the card. I also used my Fiskars punch for the bottom of the card.

New WordBook

I made a word book for my niece's birthday. I found some new chip board at JoAnn's. I used my Cricut and the deep housing and blade to cut the chip board. I used SCAL to design. It actually went pretty smooth. I was nervous on cutting the board it is pretty thick. I may scale down the thickness next time I get some. I didn't want to wreck my bug.

This is the last second last page "g". She loves puppies so I put a dog face on it.

Here is "i"

this is the back of the "a" page and the front of "i"

Here is back o "P" and front of "a". She is turning 3.

Front of book. I used my Bind it all for the binding and tied ribbons and made a cute dragonfly to embellish the page. Dragonfly came from the DoodleCharms cart. I used Plantin SchoolBook for all the photo mats.

Let me know what ya think!

Tootles...

Step Class yesterday

So I am at Step Class, keep in mind only my 3rd step class ever, the instructor was doing something new to me and we had our backs to her. Well I didn't know what step she was calling out so I decided to turn around and see, WHILE IN MOTION, and Bam tumbled off my board and rolled (sprained) my ankle. How embarrassing! Leave it to me my alternate "Grace" made her presence). I popped back up and pretended nothing was wrong but boy my ankle sure does hurt. It is nice and swollen today looks so pretty. Exercising is dangerous stuff!!!!

No posts in awhile

Well all of the holiday craziness has finally settled down. FINALLY!!! Kids are back to school and I am getting back in the routine. This week, last week was another story. We started wrestling practice and decided to get a new flat screen t.v. Well between setting up the t.v. wrestling, school and I was also getting ready to go on my first crop weekend it was NUTS!!! Yes I went on my first crop weekend with my girlfriend, Jen, (hi, Jen!). It was a blast. We left on Friday afternoon and didn't get home until Sunday afternoon right before the big Packer game. We packed everything and I mean everything we had for scrapping. We set up on Friday and started at it. We scrapped until about 12:30 AM on Friday, 1:00 AM on Saturday and until Noon on Sunday. I got 25 layouts or pages finished! How Awesome it that? Jen did about the same and the other gal Jean that was with us finished about 50 pages, (she is a super star!) Go Jean!! It was so much fun. Girl gossip, wine, friends, and SCRAPPING!!! LIFE IS GOOD!

I can't wait to do it again. I will have to put in a slide show of all the hard work we did.

I can say didn't to do good on the weight loss. WAY TOO much food at the crop. Gained a couple from the holidays as well. I MUST get back at it. Went to step class Monday and going to step class tomorrow, then Funky Fusion on Friday. Got to, got to get back on track... wish me luck.

(fyi, I am secretly starting to think gardening...hmmm must need to plan where I am going to plant things in spring, can't wait!)
