Let's face it...I am on a roll and who knows when this will happen again so I gonna post a few things at a time!!
It's either that or be lost forever in all my digital pics I have left to sort! These are 2 cards I made to show at my Stamp Club. Nothing fancy...just cute!
YES another post!!! I am feeling pretty accomplished! Nothing fancy just a cute little easter basket that I found the directions to on Splitcoast Stampers. The candy didn't last long enough around here to make it into the picture! It was sure cute for the short time it was in there though!
If there is anyone even still out there who bothers to check this neglected thing!...HI!! I know it's been months! I have just been so busy that capturing pictures and blogging has dropped to the bottom of my to-do list! I also have been so in love with my new vinyl machine that it takes up alot of time now!! I love it...as previously mentioned! :)
My vinyl project is just a simple too and is a cute and fast way to add some fun when decorating for holidays or seasons. Target always has the cutest plates out. I bought these 2 for just a couple of dollars (and they are plastic...so no breaking!!!) I have just made a cute little saying in the vinyl and put it on my plate and your done! So cute huh!
Ok...so I mentioned already that I have been so busy I haven't really had time to stamp! (As if you didn't know from the extreme lack of posts) I have been showing you a few of my home decorating projects. Today I have another one for you! I recently felt like my life was missing something! What was missing you ask?... My very own vinyl cutting machine, of course!! I am in love folks! It's the real deal...mushy gushy, no returns for me, already labeled it with my name kinda love!!! It ranks in my Top Ten...right after Shawners, the kids, diet coke and tacos!! So I really haven't had the time to play with it but i have been anyway. (who needs clean clothes or dinner) Who could resist? The kids had a 1/2 day today and so I spent the morning making and putting up this awesomeness in my kitchen! LOVE!!!
Hi!! I wanted to share some of the crafty, non-paper related things I have been up to lately! I decided that I was sick of the yellow in my kitchen and I needed a new color on the walls! So even though that was the original idea...it still isn't quite finished! Of course when I decided that, then all these other ideas started coming to me too! With the help of my good friend Lela I chose a new paint color, 2 actually. Lela suggested doing an accent wall, I love that idea, I was just always too chicken to do it. I picked a creamy caramel type color for the walls and a shade darker for the accent wall. (pics to come soon) Then I thought why not paint the wall where the fireplace is the same as the kitchen walls so it all ties in together! Love how it turned out! Then after talking to another friend of mine I finally felt brave enough to paint my door black. I have wanted to for a long time but again was too chicken. I added a vinyl welcome and I LOVE the way it turned out!
Would you believe that I made this?! It was just a plain old piece of wood when I started! Isn't it cool! I have wanted a clock like this for a long time! I finally have it! I love the way this red turned out...it's kinda bright in this picture. It is going to hang in the kitchen on those creamy caramel walls. {hmmm, I just realized that I am calling my walls a creamy caramel, but it's not the stampin' up color...just what it looks like to me!}
Did I scare you? I mean it has been eons since I last posted anything! I miss my blogging and my blogging friends!! Life is just busy and unfortunately blogging is one of those things that gets pushed to the bottom of the "to-do" list all the time! Apparently it is frowned upon to completely neglect your children so that you could be at the computer all the time or making cards and crafty things! Whatever!!! ;)
Hello to all my blogger friends! What a crazy 6 weeks it has been! School starting, I was out of town, 1 week of sick kids, 2 birthdays, an anniversary and a hubby who is out of town for 3 weeks...I have had little time for stamping which is a total bummer!! I think that most of the crazy has died down and I am slowly squeezing in some fun therapy time for myself! I thought I would start out slow and simple. This was a fun idea I found years ago and just thought of it again to do! I made these for my daughter's kindergarten class and filled the bags with popcorn for a party they had. These are so simple the kids could help out in making them. I just used a 1 3/4 in circle punch for the "moon" and some black grosgrain ribbon for the "bats". I am going to be making a bunch of these for Halloween next month!
I had to laugh as I started to post this...it is so like me to wait till summer is almost over to show you the banner I made for "summer". Here we are 4 days till school starts and I am just now getting around to taking pics and posting about this!! It has been the busiest summer we have ever had! Fun, but super busy! So forgive me...I really hope to show you the fall one I want to make in the fall, not in like in January or something! :)

Hey there...it's been a while! No good excuse just the same old story...busy, busy, busy! Shawners is gone this week in Puerto Rico (tough job huh?), Kailee is going to be at Girls Camp this week and so it will just be me and the boys! On Friday my mom, dad, sister and niece will all be here. They are visiting from Seattle! I can't wait till they get here and then for Kailee and Shawn to get home this weekend! I have some fun things planned! :)
would take him since I know he will be a huge help to me this week as the "Man of the House"! :)
Good Monday Morning! I was up early today...trying to get myself back into that school routine! I have to say that I think I hate waking up early more than the kids do! I love my summertime sleeping in days! Tyson is at Science Camp this week so it helps that I have to be up and ready to take him...I needed a little push to help get me back to the routine!
Isn't this gorgeous...if I do say so myself?!! I LOVE this medallion stamp and when I got my new catalog this was the one stamp I just HAD to have! It wasn't even a want...I needed it! ;) This was a very simple card but I think it is also quite elegant looking. I stamped the medallion in crushed curry on vanilla paper. Then I spritzed it with close to cocoa. Last thing was to add a build-a-brad to the center. I made 5 of these in about 10 or 15 minutes. Now I have some on hand when I need a gorgeous card! :)
I'm home!!!! I had the most wonderful time in South Padre! We did so many fun things...I won't tell everything...but one thing that was really cool...We went to this Sea Turtle rescue place and they told us that they had babies that were hatching that night and that they would be released in the morning. So we got to go to the beach at sunrise and see baby sea turtle released into the ocean! How cool huh?!!! They were the cutest, most adorable things! It was fun to watch them! So you want to see a picture? Oh that's right you can't cuz guess who went on vacation and left her camera battery at home! That's right no pictures! Can you believe that! Oh well...we still had a wonderful time!
I think I have a serious case of Fridayitis!! I am so anxious for the weekend to be here. There is a ton to get done but on Sunday it will all be worth it when we finally leave for our vacation! One week of pure relaxation in South Padre. We have a beautiful condo to stay in....we are going to spend all of our time on the beaches and at the pool. We are also gonna hit Schlitterbahn, take in a firework show, eat some yummy food at restaurants you can only go to in Padre, see a movie or 2, take boat rides, oh my....I could go on and on.... It will be FUN!
