I Adore You

Mojo Monday Sketch 144

Here's the sketch:


and here's my take on it:



I have been wanting to use this stamp since I got it like MONTHS ago. I found some boy friendly paper that was opened and put aside but not put away. Probably why I hadn't used any of it till today. Totally stumbled upon it when I was picking up. geesh. Then I went to Mojo Monday's site, got the sketch and got started. I wante dto use my piercer on this but I can not find it. I haven't even used it yet and I can not find it. I have a strange feeling my son walked away with it to use it for soemthing he knows he is not supposed to and is afraid to tell me. ~sigh~
I am actually very happy with the way this card turned out. I made soooo many changes to it while making it. I had a whole other idea in mind. I'm glad I just sorta went with it. It seems to happen to me alot that I get started with one thing in mind but end up with something different. sometimes completely different!
anyway, hope you like it.

Awsome day with my boys today for Mothers Day

My younger son decided to chat up quite a bit. I thought it was cute enough to share.

Happy Mother's Day to all the other wonderful scrappy and not so scrappy moms out there.

Corkboard Project

Well here it is. I loved the wall corkboard that Karlee at Wanna Be a Scrapper made for My Pink Stamper's Robyn, that I wanted to make one too. Karlee has a video tutorial up on her blog. I went out immediately and got the supplies needed to make it and did it today, having just finished.

I am eh . . . sorta happy with it. I made the ribbon 2 inches apart because it looked like that was about how far apart they were on Karlee's but it seems to me there are too many which I feel caused some veriety in the size of the squares.

All in all though I am happy with it. I'm gona put it up on my wall and display pictures and notes and the such with it. I REALLY like the fabric I chose. I have some left over and I really want to make something else with this fabric. Any suggestions? I also think I am going to get more materials and make a second for my mother. I think she'd like something like this to display pictures and etc . . . hmm maybe my sister would like one too. lol

Remembering

Taking time to remember all of those who have fought and even paid the ultimate price for all of us. So that we may sit with our families at dinner time and talk about how our day went at work, at school or whereever the day took us. So that I can send my child to school safely and know that he will be safe there today and always.

Thank you to all, past and present! for all that you do for me and my family and all of us. Thank you so very much!

1st Attempt at a Beaded Necklace

I actually made this last Halloween but wanted to share.

I just have it hanging off of a thumb tack in the side of my cd case above me at my desk. I don't know what else to do with it . . .? If I went anywhere for Halloween ever I'd wear it out. But other than trick or treating I don't go anywhere and wearing a jacket or sweatshirt would not allow me to show it off. If you have any suggestions, I'ma listenen.

Just because . . .

I made these cards a while ago (about a month ago) They were part of a pack of 6 cards I was making for a swap I entered. However, I read the instructions of the swap incorrectly and had to drop out of the swap. So here are the two I got made anyway. I will have them in my etsy shop within the next 24 hours.




















The cardstock used is PTI
ribbon from my old stock
rub one from Hambly Screen Prints
Ebellies from my old stock - butterflies at walmart, bling came from a kit.
Stamps used are from Stampin Up

Quote Card

Ok . . . Not only is this the first time I've done a digital stamp card, but I made this card for the Unity Stamp Co. Challenge for wcmd over at scs. I like how it turned out, I was struggling a bit with it though.

Incentdly . . . I've been away while trying to get my boys on a set schedule with school and I am soooooo glad to be back.

Keeton's First Day!

This is my reason for not being able to get anything done and uploaded to my blog for the past almost two weeks now.

I have been so busy getting my baby - not anymore : ( - ready for kindergarten. Today is his first day and he's "a big boy now mommy!" "but don't be sad mommy" he says, "you can have another baby if you want" LOL

Anyway . . . I thought I would share some pictures of his first day. At first he wouldnt cooperate, he DID NOT want his picture taken for some reason. Well he was a bit cranky this morning untill he had breakfast. After he ate and it was time to go, he told me I could take his picture.






And just so were all clear . . . I am not having anymore children - hehe
