Devin's a STAR!!

Devin had his big night in the Jr.High Drama as the lead of "The Wedding Downpour". He did an amazing job and made us so proud. Instead of the usual flowers, I made him a skittles and slim jim bouquet - decorated with stars and curlie ribbon. The card was done with reinker and an air can on glossy paper, then embossed with the designs from Star Power. He really liked it - the skittles and slim jims were gone by the next afternoon...yuck! lol

Valentine's Countdown - Day #5

This is just a simple sour cream container filled

with lil hearts. Simple, but effective (it has candy)!

Valentine's Countdown - Day #4

My Valentine rose topiary using the new "Sweethearts" paper

pack! It took 3 pieces of B&T and a lot of patience - but too cute!

Valentine's Countdown - Day #3

The new "A Game" set - which I wasn't sure I even liked...and now I sooo

love it! It's too much fun!

Valentine Countdown - Day #2

These were so easy and fun to make! I had the bags just sitting around

and when I saw Sharon Holmes post of the ones she did - I couldn't resist! What a great

idea! The girls at my open house loved them too!

Croppin with Studio J!!

How can you not love getting layouts done in 1/2 hour? I LOVE this!! Even though I still prefer to scrapbook the old fashion way with lots of layers and tons of "do-dads"...I have to admit, it's nice to get so much done in so little time and still feel like you expressed yourself in your work.

New Home Gift

I was inspired by Jeannette Lyntons take on a haunted house using the "Around the Block" stamp set and made it into a New Home gift bag for my good friend Melissa. I don't think I have ever done sooo much paper piecing in my life! It was worth it though, because it turned out super cute and will hold a candle nicely.

Yesterday we celebrated my nephew's 14th birthday! I made a neat "pop up" gift card holder for him (since that's all you can really get a 14 year old anymore!). Love you Nick!

January Stamp-a-palooza is almost here!!! We are starting the year off with a bang! January 20 & 21 at 6:30pm. You must RSVP!! I have given you some picture hints....excited? These are done using the January SOM (Find your Style D1452), Dreams Do Come True (D1470) and the new Wings paper! Right now you can get the Dreams stamp for only $18 (normally $22.95) when you buy the Wings WOTG! Details at class or email me!





Special thanks to Angela T. for your cool dress idea!

Christmas Gift Cards

I finally finished Christmas presents...yes, I know I'm a tad late, but thankfully my sisters still love me! (at least they say they do). I made these cool GC holders for my nephews and bookmarks for my sis and aunt.

Too Cool Dog!!

This picture of Penny just cracks us up! I caught her at just the right time. She loves the snow and does flips when you throw snow balls for her!

Back to Work!!!

Thank you all for being so patient while I wasn't feeling well. The holidays are over and it is time to get back to work. I took some time today to get creative with the January SOM and the Wings WOTG. These stamps are just beautiful.

Magic Layout #3

Yes, I know I'm late in getting this posted. I have been having camera issues and my hubby won't get the hint that I need a new one...

I'm still doing my honeymoon in Puerto Rico for the layouts. I did our trip to the Observatory - can you guess this was Rich's pick! lol It was actually very interesting. I used Emporium papers for the layout and Genuine Fun, Treetops and Classmate Alpha for the stamping.

October 26 Gift Workshop

I thought you might like a preview of one of the gifts you'll be making at the workshop. This candle is stamped with one of CTMH new Christmas stamp sets - "I believe". The other one is done with "Snow Days" and our glitter glue! Too Cute!!

Magic layout challenge week 2

This is the second layout in the Magic "How-To" book from CTMH. I had to rush because I forgot that I lent my book out and had to have another (thanks Pamela) send me pictures! I used the Unity and Fieldtrip stamp sets and Maginfique paper. Thanks for looking!
