When good kids go bad.....

Soooooo....this is what I walked into Friday afternoon when I went to go and wake up the kids(they were supposed to be sleeping) from their nap. All my make up, everything thing that I own was smeared onto by bed. A whole tube of toothpaste was smeared onto my bed(its now minty fresh and has no cavity's..lol)

All my Blush and eye shadows were smashed into my blankets and my carpet...waterproof and regular mascara were "painted" onto my night stand

The bathroom was hit too. The little girl took EVERYTHING out of the cabinet and threw it everywhere. She opened a whole bag of cough drops and threw the wrappers on the floor and put all the drops on my bed.

Friday was definitely an interesting day

Happenings in my world

Well it has been a busy month here at our house. First off we will be moving into our new house on Sunday March 15Th. I am so excited. SO I will be busy packing all week so I thought that I would post some of what I have been making.

I have made tons of stuff but due to certain obligations I can not post them till later so please be sure to check back often to see what secrets I have up my sleeve :)
I have had the chance to make 2 layouts so far this month.

This is one of the kids first time sledding in 2008. Alex had never been on a big hill before and he had so much fun learning the ropes from his big sisters.

Sneak peek: OK I cant show you the whole LO because its for the design team(check back at the end of the month) But i wanted to show you that I made my own rub-ons. The title was made using my computer and a transparency. I will post the tutorial next week when our ning group has the crop(so check back for that)

Congratulations Kristina and Dave!! They got married last Saturday and this is the picture frame that I made them. I really love how it turned out!!

I have been busy again

Well I have been busy this week making gifts and cards for birthdays and thank you gifts. The cards above are my favorite!! I stamped in versamark ink and embossed with Black powder. I really like how they turned out and I think that this card will defiantly be one of my go to cards.

This is the birthday card that I made for Benjamin's 2nd birthday. Not much to it. The gifts and balloons are 3d..I used lots of pop-dots on the card

Well its Cherie's birthday today(happy birthday girl!!) so I of course made her a present. This is one of them...it was supposed to be a cupcake but I think that it looks more like a planter box...but I love it no matter what!

I also altered some picture frames this week. The big one is for Cherie and the 2 smaller ones are for other people.

Last but not least I have made another stamped candle. They are super easy to make and make a quick gift.That's all for now. I am off to go scrapping at Cherie's house...its time to break in her new scrapping room :) Happy Sunday everyone

Recent Project and 5 new Layouts

Well I have been super busy these past couple of weeks, but I have gotten quite a bit accomplished. First I have made these cute little wall hangings(pictured above and below) I got the stamps at Hobby Lobby for dirt cheep and I just had to get them. But now what do I do with them. I made these little wall hangings from coasters(thank you Diana). They are covered in paper, and embellished with beads, bling, wire, and handmade flowers. The one above started out saying "I love him more than anything except shopping of course" I X'd out the shopping and put scrapping(hehehe) The second one(below) says"my idea of cleaning is to sweep the room with a glance" I just love how they came out. I made 4 of each 1 set for me and I gave a set to each of the girls in my scrapbooking group

Do you like these? I would love to make them for you. For 5 dollars each and 3.00 for shipping and handling I will make you some. Shoot me an e-mail alexsmom12403@yahoo.com and we can work put the details.

On to the LO's

Pumpkin carving: PP from target Cs is DCWV. I hand stitched the buttons and used my sewing machine on the edges

Halloween 2008, PP from target and creating memories, embellishment from archivers bats hand cut from PP, stitching using the machine too(i finally fixed my machine YAY)

A haunting we will go: PP from target and creating memories and some other stuff from my stash.

Its all about me: this was done for Celina's Simon Says game during our crop on the ning group. Its from Isabella's 13th birthday.

Tis the season: all of the paper is from a DCWV glitter Christmas stack and the matching CS stack.

Till next time...Happy scrappin'

4 new layouts...

Well I have managed to make 4 new layouts to add to my book. The one above is "lessons from dad" I did some real stitching and faux stitching on this LO.
The next one is from Alex's 5th birthday party, we had a pirate party. It is for a challenge on our ning group (found HERE) The sketch is from Julie Bonner

A perfect 10, this is from Hannah's party. the stamped image in the middle says"Every snowflake brings to mind how special you are you're one of a kind"Love Blooms, everything here was done using 3 sheets of paper. 2 of the same(the PP) and then the cream. I Cut the flowers and the swirls from the green side of the paper(the mat for the pictures too) I stamped the title in black ink and then embossed it with clear powder

A moment to remember...

I made this picture frame for my sister. Now that I have finished this I have now completed my goal, and can now start doing LO's again.

The frame started out plain wood. I then painted and covered it in paper. The papers used are from DCWV, the circle stamp is from See D's circle words.

To give the frame some "pop" I hand cut flowers from the paper and pop-dotted them up over the same flower image.

I am so happy with how this turned out. I am sure my sister will love it.

Till next time*** Kathy
