Where Have I Been??

I am going to make a promise that I get some projects done this week. There is a crop going on at www.mommysavers.com/boards that I am hoping to participate in, even if it is for a little bit.

So stay tuned.....

Busy, Busy, Busy....

I have been super busy pumping out the cards! I am hosting an Online Crop at http://www.mommysavers.com/ . The girls are having a blast coming up with creations for the challenges I have created related to Dr. Seuss books and characters!

Also, I created a card for the http://www.thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/ The challenge was to add some bling to your creation. Here is my little pirate dude.



Isn't he so cute!


So here are some of the cards I have been working on:



Here is what her purse says: "It's official I've become my mother." Classic! I love it!



Love this new Bella I got:



I am crossing my fingers that my girlfriend has a baby girl! This is the card I am going to give her if she does....



I gave this one to a girlfriend who has really been there for me lately. She has listened to my every vent and whine even when I know that she has some of her own.



Cute little school themed card:



This is one of my favorite. I just love the colors on it!



I did make one page. I really like how it turned out but after listening to my daughter tonight I am going to have to add some sayings that I did not have on there! Word, Freak Fresh and Sweet Niblets just to name a few. ( I think she watches a little too much Hannah Montana.) ;)

Cute Little Mini Calender And Other Stuff!

I made this little calender out of a 3x3 chipboard scallop album. really really easy!













I am working on our puppy album for Jax too so here are a few that I made of him.







One of my and my college roommate



Little Devil



My Spidey Girl

Fold Out Card

I have been doing just plain cards lately so I decided to follow a challenge posted over at Mommysavers in the Scrapbooking section. http://mommysavers.com/boards/challenges/105222-random-card-challenge.html

It comes from a tutorial that I had found on this blog... http://francineclouden.typepad.com/tuesday_todo/2008/11/foldout-christmas-card.html What a gorgeous card she made!

Here is my try at a fold out card:



I used Paper from the DCWV photo Holiday stack, cut my snowflake out from the Cricut "Going Places" cartridge, covered it with Glossy accents and added Stampin Up glitter. The stamp is something I picked up at a garage sale and I am not sure who makes it but love his spikey hair!

Challenge--Emboss Paper Flowers

I made a card for a challenge on www.thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com I love the different ways that there are to use my Cuttlebug. So the challenge this week was to take paper flowers and emboss them. I took a pretty pink flower and embossed it with the Swiss Dots folder. The stamp set is from Inkadinkadoo, die cut squares from Funky Squares die cut made with the Cuttlebug, paper from Stampin Up and Cardstock from DCWV. I also used a few stickles on the owl.

Outside: "A wise man once said..."



Inside: "Follow your dreams. Except the one where you are at work in your underwear."

Sorry the inside is blurry. I couldn't get a decent shot.

Weekend Crop

I went to a weekend crop..Sleepless scrapbooking! It was my first for this many days. I have only done one other one that was a day crop. I had so much fun not only chatting and cropping but learning so much from the other ladies there! They were such inspirations to me. And you know what....I didn't take one single picture. I am such a DORK! So anyway, I finished 6 Christmas cards and 9 pages. Not too bad but I know that I could have done more!





















Hopefully going gave me some creative energy to focus off of! So stay tuned for more....hopefully it won't be another month again!
