A quickie...

little post that is!!! Just a couple of cards for you. Made these for some posts over on the Bo Bunny blog. Today, over on the Bo Bunny blog, I posted a tutorial on how to get a reverse image of a stamp...check it out if you are interested. It's one way to get more mileage out of your stamps! Here's the card that I used for the tutorial. The butterfly facing to the left was original stamp image and the other one is the mirror image...I used the Gypsy line for this.
This next card was made using the St. Nick line for a Christmas in September assignment...don't go thinking I am little Miss Organized that I already have my Christmas cards done! Nope! Not me!
Enjoy the rest of your week. I just finished up an album for Clear Scraps, once I get it photographed I'll share it with you! Chow 'til then! :)

Under Construction

First, please note that there is a new post directly under this. Second, I am in the process of changing the appearance of the old blog...please bear with me as I finish it. Third, yay! I finally figured out why you couldn't click on a photo and enlarge it...that has been fixed now. So, if you want to see any project in a bigger and better photo...just double click on the picture and your wish will be my command. :)

September kit from AMM and my first BoBunny project.

Here are my projects from the September kit over at A Million Memories. There is quite a few new papers from Sassafrass in the kit as well as an entire Melissa France Bingo album and the most adorable LITTLE chipboard houses from Maya Road.

This first is a simple card. The inside reads "to the 'hood". I painted the house and then covered it with Modge Podge to get the shiny look.
This second is a little wall hanging that I made using one of the pages from the Melissa France Bingo book.
This layout is of my middle son and his all time best ever buddy. I love this picture of the two of them.
And lastly for this kit is a layout of my youngest son. OUCH! We got behind on his vaccinations and he had to have 5 at once at his last checkup!
This last layout was an assignment for the Bo Bunny blog. I had to base a project around the quote of my own choosing.
Two of my four kiddos went back to school today. Another one goes sporadically throughout the rest of this week and then next Monday they will all be in school. Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh :)

Two Weeks :)

That would be how much longer it is until my kiddos go back to school. I'm ready. They are ready. We do have a nice 10 day family trip first, which I know I will really enjoy, but suspect that at the end of it...I'll really be looking forward to the start of the new school year...smile.
Some business first...follow this link HERE and post an A Million Memories blinkie on your own blog and you could be the lucky winner of some lovely AMM goodies!
Next and finally, some creative fun. Lily Bee sponsored the AMM design team. I love this French Couture line of theirs...


I'll be back in a few with some Little Yellow Bicycle projects! Enjoy the rest of your week! Thanks for stopping by!

A Million Memories August kit

I loved this kit this month. The papers were so soft and pretty...a very feminine kit. Thise papers from Dream Street were just yumm-o! However, I pushed it in another direction to get a boy page done...I think it is one of my favorites lately.


A special thanks to Die Cuts With A View for the photos on this next one. They had a photo booth at CHA and we had so much fun playing in it. These are my girls from AMM...Michelle, Jenn, Maureen (also a very good friend from Medical school days in Omaha) and myself.

My sweet little girl.....don't those eyes just get you?!!! Of course they do me!

And a couple of cards...once again used the CPS sketch for these.

Thanks for stopping by. I'll have some Lily Bee stuff up for you in a few. I'm still playing catch up after working on projects for CHA.......almost done.

Cosmo Cricket makes me happy!!!

A big, big, big thank you to Cosmo Cricket for sponsoring the design team at A Million Memories. They were very generous and sent us all one of their more recent paper crafting kits. So far I have made three layouts and a card.

Here is my daughter hanging out on the boat and wearing her Daddy's sunglasses. Those flowers were all cut out of a sheet of paper and some were punched up using some pop dots for added dimension.

This next one I added some white Melissa Frances crepe paper which I cut with scallop scissors and then inked up the edges.

Not much better than homemade whipped cream huh??? Obviously that is what my youngest son thinks!

Lastly, a thank you card. I made this using the latest sketch at Card Positioning System.

Would you be interested in winning some of the BRAND NEW releases from Pink Paislee and Basic Grey??????? I would! Follow this link here and find out how you could be the lucky winner....randomly selected! Good luck!

Check back tomorrow for some REALLY EXCITING news...can't wait to share.
