Open House

at the "Barn" on Cutter Road

Join me and see the new Fall/Winter Idea Book...new product...

and the new CRICUT cartridge!!

There will be prizes, treats and a cute make-n-take project!

Bring some friends and stop on by!

So, I saw these really cute flower ideas on Brenda Frerich's blog and had to try this one. I decided to spray my colonial white punchs with vineyard berry re-inker and then painted them with the prisma glitter/shimmer paint mix. I love how it turned out - it looks really pretty in person. I used the leftover paint mix to stamp butterflies on the background paper (hard to see in the picture). Thanks Brenda!!

Crop Day!

I had a really nice day on Saturday and want to thank Tina, Cookie and my Mom for coming and working on their projects with me! I also want to thank Judy, Rhonda & Janis for coming by and shopping and hanging out with us - what a fun day! I even got some work done! I put together the new "You & Me" May promo kit - which is very nice...and I filled in some of our WOTG pages and my pages I did at convention last summer! I didn't have enough room for all the pictures on my Hooligans WOTG so I added a flip flap - LOVE IT! Hope you like!

Lil Easter notes

I did these lil guys for my

sister-in-laws to go

with their peep-in-a-jar gifts.

I actually had

fun coloring and cutting

out these little baskets!

I used Sensational Season SOM

First Clear Card!!

My first clear card! I made this card for my in-laws for Easter. She is sooo appreciative of my cards, I just love to try new things for her!

Used the Sensational Season SOM set!

My wonderful sister-in-laws threw me a beautiful shower and these are the cards I made them to say thanks!

I used Baby Love stamp set and Thanks stamp set, kraft paper and CS.

Baby Albums for the Grandma's

I made these 6x6 accordion albums for my mom and mother-in-law as a gift at my baby shower. They turned out soo cute - and now the grandma's have a place to put all of their pictures!!

I used Tinkerin paper and stickease, and Animal Cookies paper and stickease.

Help out in Japan

Help Red Cross Japan and get a super cute stamp set!!

This "A" sized stamp set retails for $7.95, BUT this month you can purchase this set for $5 with ALL proceeds going toward relief efforts in Japan.

Just a thought...

I heard a cool statement the other day and wrote it on the mirror in our dining room. You can't go out the front door without seeing it (which is dreadful right now..seeing my bulging prego belly sooo frequently, lol!). I tend to use this mirror for chores and reminders, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity to reach my children...and myself.

"People see what you do...God sees why you do it"

Makes you stop and think, huh? Why do we do the things we do...especially the "nice" or "thoughtful" things we do?? Are we doing it to truly bless someone, or to say "look at me"? I am trying to remember that what I do has a purpose and/or a consequence. What do I want God to see? others? What does it say about who I want to be?
My hope is to be a good friend, an inspirational teacher in my classes....and a wife and mother that makes sure my children and husband never go a day without knowing how much I love them.

Crop weekend with some new friends!

I had a blast croppin with some fabulous women this weekend! I ate good food, got 14 pages done and had a lot of laughs! Here are some of the layouts!

Stamp-a-bunch Card Class

I am trying my first ever "Stamp-a-Bunch" Card class. This one will be using the Sophia paper pack and misc. stamp sets from CTMH. We will be doing 8 cards, 2 of 4 designs, with our focus on female birthday and get well/thinking of you. Here's a peek!

Are you RSVP'd for Stamp Class this month??

This month we will be trying a technique from Jeanette Lynton's blog on the Anniversary card. We will also try our hand at the very popular pennants! I love this look and can't wait to do more projects with this great design! Stamp class is monthly and only $6 - you can't beat the night out! Email me with any questions!

Playin with Studio J

We have the most amazing woman who has shared all of her Studio J secrets...the latest is about making pennants on your layout! You can check out all of her YouTube videos here.

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!
