Hello everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday morning. This is a layout of my youngest daughters 1st birthday. Isn't she the cutest little darling. lol. This is one of the pages that I am including in my mom's album for her birthday. She is holding my dd and they both look so happy:). It is one of my favorite pics of them together.
I used one of my new cuttlebug folders on this swiss dots and I sort of messed up not aligning the folder up to make one continuous emossed image and ended up with a strip in between the dots, since my paper was longer than the folder. To fix the problem, I just addes some ribbon, flowers and bling. TA DA...problem solved hehe. I also addes some bling to the Smile and used shiny paper for it , just to give it a little extra something. I am going to add a journaling tag a little later, before I give it to her.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you like it as much as I do.
Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday:) It is dreary here, but it isn't cold...so I am not going to complain. I am soooo over the cold weather.
For today I have another 8x8 layout to share. I am making my mom an album filled with pictures of her and all of the grandkids as part of her birthday present. Which means I will be sharing quite a few 8x8 layouts with you this week and next week.
My niece is the little baby and the 5 year old "hamming it up" for the camera is my oldest daughter.
I had some paper from Nana's nursery stack that had the saying "onesies and blankets and diapers, oh my" and I thought it would be fitting on this page with mom changing Lauren's diaper. The whole page had that on it , but I thought that just the scallop on the top would look good. So I cut it out with the curve of the clothes line.
The base paper had some flowers with leaves and stems scrolled around on it. I used some silk flowers in place of the printed ones and used glossy accents to outline the stems. Not really sure if you can see that well or not. It is my first time using the glossy accents.
Thanks for stopping by

Hello all my bloggy friends, For today's post I have an 8x8 layout to share with you. This is my first time doing one. I usually use the 12x12 , but thought I would give this a go. If you think you have seen this before on here you are right (well sort of lol) When I made my card with the adorable little squirrel from create a critter...I made one too small and decided I wanted it a little bigger. I kept this one. No reason throwing away a perfectly good cut because it was too small. :P
This is my mom changing my neice's diaper and my oldest daughter getting in on the pic. I covered my niece's little bottom, didn't want her mooning everyone hehe.
I wanted to take a minute to wish you all a very Happy Easter. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful day, and remember the reason that we truly celebrate this glorious day.
Hi, everyone. I hope you are having a terrific Wednesday. I thought I would show you a quick 2 page LO, that I made....
I found this pretty "family paper and just added a die cut some stamping with glitter, some ribbon and used my cricut markers for the name on the tag. Quick and simple. Hope you like it.

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I ended up having to work part of it. I really wanted to get some crafting done so that I could have some posts for you this week ,but I have had some family come in from out of state and not gotten to do much,(don't count me out yet I still plan on getting some things done lol.)
I did manage to get a little shopping spree in (the crafty kind) :P My husband has been on a tool kick( he is restoring an old car) sooo I get the benefits of getting to spend a little money too. Can't beat that!! Well, while on my shopping spree I got some paper that was on clearance..just looovvvee clearance, I also got some new cuttlebug folders and ribbon. I couldn't get all that stuff and not make a project.
I decided to get my adorable create a critter out and get crafting. I also got some new scrappymoms-stamps furry friends which go wonderfully together.. I might add :)
Now on to my creation...................hope you like it as much as I do.
Good evening to everyone. As promised, I have the winner today for the It's Easter blog hop. I'm sorry it's late in the evening but, I had to work all day then trying to figure out how to use the random.org thing was a little time consuming..(I wanted to make sure everything was fair :). Okay, okay on to the winner.....Drumroll please......................................................
What a sweet decoration! I love that. Knowing what a mess I make when I crack an egg, I can't imagine how difficult it is to make those sweet treasures!
Thank you to everyone who visited my blog and left such sweet comments. If you are following my blog and I haven't dropped by yours yet, leave me a comment and I will be right over.(I think all crafters should support each other in all our crafty creations)
Welcome to the final day of the blog hop. I'm sorry to see it end, I've had so much fun doing different projects to show you! ;) I've decided to make another video to show you my project today, so that you could see all of the details that are on these adorable eggs.

(Sorry in advance for the """shaky""" video..I've pretty much decided I won't be getting a job as a camera operator at any of Hollywood's studios lol.)
Mom always put some rick-rack around the edges of the eggs...but I like the raw edges of them. I think it gives them character. I always keep a stash of things especially crafty stuff(and my husband calls me a pack-rat....guess I showed him hehe..I used quite a few things that I had on hand)

Hello again everyone. For my second post today I was surfing around and found an awesome blog site with a challeng that I just couldn't pass up! The website is Getting Cricky with K. Andrew. For her Simply Sunday challenge we are to make something that Inspires us.
I recently got a new toy (just love the craft store toys..don't you! LOL). Since I do alot of scrapbooking I didn't own a scoreboard. While on a trip to Hobby Lobby, I decided to by the M.S.scoreboard. I have been trying to make cards off and on since I started my blog in October last year. I have been using whatever I had on hand to make the creases and flatten them down (I'm sure you know how that goes hehe..us crafters get inventive).
Now on to my card for today:
EDIT: I am also entering this over at craftingmisfit...... it is "a new season a new skill blog hop"
you can enter your creation and tell about something new to you. So my new is the M.S. scoreboard.
Which I love, it has a home for all the pieces (considering I am not the most organized person lol). That helps me out ALOT. It even gives instruction on how to create different cards and a box. How great is that!
I also got it for 40% off so it really is a good deal. I think it ended up being about 12 bucks!
The paper stack is DCWV Luxury Stack
and Colorbok Pearlecent
Ribbon is a satin ribbon from Hobby Lobby
The border and corner punch is a MS Rings set
(also a new toy, hubby helped me get it with a 40% off coupon!! Isn't he the sweetest:)
and last but not least the stamp is one that I got from a whole bag of stamps that my sister(another sweetie) bought me from E-Bay

Hello everyone and welcome back to our "It's Easter Blog Hop". When I think of Easter, many different things come to mind. Sunrise service at church, the family getting together for a nice dinner, the kids hunting for Easter eggs, and the candy filled Easter baskets.
This next project reflects on the first thing. My faith. I saw a tutuorial on something similar to this, but Halloween oriented on customcrops. I thought it was cute and decided to do an Easter project with it.
You could use this just as decor, or put things in it. I planned on putting a vase in it and putting some of my daffodils in it, but the awful storms that we have had blew off all of the pretty flowers.
