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.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

I can share my news......

check this out!!!!! Click here

I made the BO BUNNY design team! I am so excited and honored to be working with some of the names on that list and look so forward to getting to know everyone.

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.

No, it's not winter...

One might think it is with these two projects. These are the last two projects that I made for Clear Scraps for CHA. I didn't have time to post them before I left. Such fun to see your stuff on display and everyone looking at it!

This first one is made with the new release...small snowflakes. Comes with six on a binder clip, so I still have two more to use.

This next one is made using the coffee clear and chip set. You get a sheet of chipboard and a sheet of acrylic. Each had 6 coffee cups and coordinating shapes. I still have a ton left over to make more out of it. The cover and back of this mini are chipboard and the inner pages are acrylic.

There are more pages for this, but I won't bore you! Have a great weekend!

More Clear Scraps

This time we were sponsored by the company My Little Shoebox, thus their paper, tiny letter stickers and die cuts were used on the following two projects. This is going to be a quick post as I have much more work to get done prior to flying out early Monday morning.

First is a layout using the Large Circle Shape from Clear Scraps. The letter around the edge are stamps from My Stamp Box, just stamp 'em on paper of choice and hand cut them out. Buttons are all courtesty of Moxxie.

This is an album made with the Clear Scraps Mix It Up arrow chipboard album.

Didn't show you all of the photos for this one...tried to not make this too photo heavy! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Back to "work" I go.

I can see CLEARLY now...

Ha! Not really. I have, however been working my way through a long list of Clear Scrap Projects that I need to get done for next week. Lucky you...I have some to share with ya! ;)

Moxxie sponsored the Clear Scraps design team and let me say they were VERY generous. The first line that I received from them was dog themed. Not usually something I would use...I try to stay away from themes and don't usually focus on my dog as the subject of my work. However, when asked...I do (ok maybe not always...) So this bone shaped Clear Scrpas album stars our dog YOSHI.

This next project was made with the Banner acrylic album from Clear Scraps and the Moxxie carnival line. I didn't have any pics that could be used with this line of paper so I chose to make a party banner with it.

That's all for now, I hope to be back with more before I leave next week!
