Yet another card to share !!!

Hello everyone !!!

I am back with another card to share today. This is going to be a quick one....this is a card that I made for my boyfriend, Trent to give to his mom for Mother's Day !!!

I went on to Splitcoaststampers and cased this card from there.

Now here is a view of the inside !!!

Thanks for stopping in to my little space on the web and I hope to finish up that darn page from Christmas this week to share with you, so be sure to check back !!!

Card Making - Part 2

Wohoo !!!

This will be 3 days in a row that I have posted on my blog - aren't you guys proud of me !!!

Today is just going to be a really quick one though !!! Want to share with you the next set of cards that I made. My middle daughter Mia will be celebrating her First Communion in a couple of weeks (May 30th) and I wanted to make her a special card from us for this special occasion. Also my boyfriend's nephew Brodie also celebrated his First Communion a few weeks ago, so it was perfect....I always like to make more then one card when I drag everything out.

So without further adieu, here is my cards - one for a boy and one for a girl - obviously !!!

And here is a look at the one card (for my Mia) upclose !!!

Thanks for checking me out !!!

Some Card Making

Yes, you read my title correctly !!!

I have been making some cards lately - - now don't get too excited it isn't much my stash was getting down and I needed some birthday cards and what not so I dug out some of my papers and stamps and take a look at what I created !!!

The first set was just a masculine type of card to have on hand...I actually gave one of these to my boyfriend's brother Todd for his birthday recently in April and I think he liked it - you know guys !!

So here are some different views of the card - inside and out !!! I know I even decorated the inside, aren't you proud of me !!!

Here is both views for you !!

Just the outside or front of the card:

Just the inside:

I was very proud of myself for creating these and I really enjoyed it and I even did some more...I have a First Communion Card and a Mother's Day card to share with you over the next few days so watch for those !!!

And I am going to break out my punches shortly and attempt to make a very special card for my nephew's upcoming 3rd birthday in July - he really likes Handy Mandy so I am going to make a tool card for him...watch for that !!!

Soooo Sorry !!!! Bad Blogger !!!

I really can't believe that it has almost been a month since my last post !!! I am such a bad blogger !!! WoW ~~

I am having a really hard time with my mojo lately...I just am not happy with anything that I have been creating lately. I have been doing this 2 page spread about Christmas with my family (and I mean my sisters/nieces/nephew, etc) and it just is missing something - pretty soon I am just going to give up on it and move on.

Do you have those moments?? Well this has really put me in a bad mood as far as scrapping goes...I need to finish that layout before I move on. I for some reason can not be working on two pages at the same time, if you know what I mean. I finish one then move to the next and soon this Christmas layout is going to go !!! HAHAHA!!!

So for today - - I want to show you another layout from this Christmas (maybe I need to move beyond December pictures and that may help me as well.) This layout used Christina's kit called ARE YOU GAME - take a look !!!

And this is a layout that I did of my two youngest ones playing on the Wii that they got for Christmas from the big guy!!!

Well I am hoping to be back really soon (and I know this because I am going to schedule the posts right now !!! hehehehe !!! hopefully that works) with some non-digital stuff for you.

Thanks for popping into my little world!!

Another Christmas Layout !!!

Hey everyone,

I'm back !! Sorry that my posts are so sporatic...I think that I can do this, then life just gets in the way and the next thing I know - 2 weeks have flown by.

Today's post shows off another one of Christina's (WimpyChompers Creations) older kits - this one is called MAKING A MESS - take a peek!!!

For this one - it was an easy one. Every year we have this family tradition of doing our Christmas Baking all on one day and doing a cookie exchange type of thing so we all end up with LOADS of goodies to have. Take a look at this layout !!! (** reminder to view a larger image, just click on it !!!)

That is all for now - I promise the next few layouts won't be Christmas related !!! Hope you all have a great Monday !!!

Christmas Layouts

As I said previously I am trying to get my 2009 scrapbook pages caught up - so when doing that I started in December and looked at my pictures and scrapped what pages I wanted to. So that being said, I have a couple of Christmas pages to share with you today.


Be fair warned...I take LOTS of photos, just ask my kids !!! LOL !!! And that is why I usually create double page layouts to fit all of my lovely pics in them. Now these two layouts today that I am sharing uses some of Christina's older kits - but I hope you can incorporate them into something you have or I am sure there are other kits out there that would work as well.


This kit was called CHRISTMAS MAGIC...take a look:

And now the two layouts that I have done with this kit. The first one is of us decorating our tree and then of Christmas Morning goings ons....love these!!!

Thanks for stopping in today and I will be back with more layouts to share with you.
