SK8Rbella

I did this card for a color challenge #31 over at Mommy Scraps. I just used some leftover scraps I had. I knew there was a reason to keep that strip of CS that I die cut out of. It turned into my olive colored border!! Just enough left to make it useful.


Okay, so I totally drew this Bella. I like to draw. There just wasn't the skateboarder chick that I was looking for. So a salute to the Bella creators!! I made one based on their adorable Bellas.

OH SHANE!! LOL

So my kids are at my sisters today. Brandy called me to tell me some funny things Shane did today. First off, Shane is always telling some kind of crazy story. Brandy told him, "Someday you will get rich telling stories." SO then Shane, mind you he's 4, says, "If you give me a dollar, I will tell you a story." LOL Also I guess Brandy had a light bulb sitting on her computer desk for her lamp. So Shane goes over and grabs it, holds it over his head, and says "I have an idea!" LOL Well she had to call me and tell me this, so I had to share. Made me laugh!

Fun One's

I used some CTMH stamps for this. The fun T was from a tag swap I was in.

LOL I love this pic of Shane. He cracks me up. No pun intended!!!

The Christmas one I did with a QVC kit. I keep buying the dang things, because they look soo cute on TV. I ended up using it because it was Christmas, and I wanted to get these pics done.

So Very...sweet, happy, cute

I did this LO using the April BYOM kit. It had Fancy Pants PP in it. The stamp set I used was a SU one called "So Very" I stamped with Staz-on, on to the orange overlay. The little tags on the ribbon, are from Making Memories. I used the Tag Curler. The crown on Shane's head, is a die cut that came with the kit also. The exclamation point is by We R Memory Keepers. It is a glossy chipboard. I used some alcohol inks to give it a marbled look with some fun colors.

When I got the alcohol inks, I had to play with them, but wasn't quite sure how to. So I dug out some microscope slides and practiced on those. I used one color on each one to check out the colors they produced. I then referred back to those glass swatches for this. I will see about posting those soon!!

Moving Hay

This is my LO for the newsletter sketch from BYOM. Those girls come up with some great sketches!! I took the felt border(Queen & Co) and used it as a stencil. I then sprayed some Glimmer Mist, Latte. It made a great border. I added some hay paper. I have had it forever. Just waiting for Grandma to produce some pics with hay in them! The papers are Scrapworks Magpie collection.

Stampin Up and a little Trampin'

Here is my card I made up for Stampin' Up club. I used a fun Bella stamp. The LO design is from Sheetload of cards. The papers are Stampin Up. I used colored pencils to color her in, while I watch CSI Miami with my hubby.
I also got a little blog candy from Katie. There were only 2 of us who did her card sketch. I got a cute little mailbox with some fun moose images. They are cute, and I can't wait to color them.


While over at Khristi's for a little Trampin' get-together, I got some more goodies. Katie decorated this fun little box of yummy colored candy, and a fun little calendar book!! Khristi gave some fun little CTMH coins too! Not to mention the fun little paper pack Barb got us all.

Miss Kitty's Anatomy

Here is a LO of my Kitty's little babies.

Why "anatomy"?? The journaling says:

Miss Kitty was very proud of her kittens. Slick is the black and white cat. We name the rest after Gray's Anatomy. Meridith is the all gray one. Izzy was gray with white paws. Christina was gray with a little white one her. Slick was the only male.

Mike named Slick. So we couldn't call him McDreamy.
