WOW!

Hello my blogging friends, I hope everyone is doing well this evening. I cannot believe it's been almost a month since my last post. My house is coming along and it is just about finished. I have packed up my scrapbook room, but managed to go to a crop last weekend. I have been working out of my crop bags, luckily I keep them well stocked. One of the things I managed to get done was an Altered Notebook for the Play Along page on Facebook. I love how my notebook came out. I think I am going to keep it for myself to plan out my projects.


I was also able to finish my scrapbook for the Alaska cruise my husband and I went on almost 2 years ago. I am so glad to be done with that. I can mark that off of my list of things to do.

I hope you like seeing my project and ENJOY and BIG hugs to you all.

Calendar Challenge

Hello blogging friends. So sorry I haven't been around, but our home is almost completed and we'll be moving in soon. So looking forward to it. I've pretty much packed up my scrapbook room, but did have a calendar that I made following the Play Along site on Facebook. The challenge was to create a calendar page for the current month and run the challenge throughout the year for each month. I decided since I've got so many things going on right now, I  would just make a decorative background and just print out each month and change it as time goes by. I  put velcro tabs on the back of the calendar so I can reuse the background.


Those who know me, know that I love Disney, so I created this to use in my new scrapbook room. Enjoy and BIG hugs to you all.

Ooh La La Card

I wanted to share this card that I made for my fellow Chic. I had to wait to post because I didn't want her to see it before she got it in the mail. I decided to use one of my stamp sets and took a break from the Cricut. I had such a good time making this card and going back to stamping, I may have to break out the stamps more often.


This is a Stampin Up set, I just can't remember the name of it. I ended up coloring the image with different type of markers since I had already packed away my Copic markers. I also did a little inking around the image.

Have a great Friday and BIG hugs to you all.

Mustache Card

Happy Sunday to you all. I hope everyone had a good day. I have been kinda lazy and just doing what is necessary. I have managed to get into my craft room and make a card. I found this site on Facebook called Play Along where you do projects. Pretty much at your own pace, there are lots of challenges to choose from, it's a lot of fun. I would recommend if you are crafty, check it out. 

The challenge I chose was to make something by incorporating a mustache. Since my sons' birthday is coming up I decided to make a card for him. Hope you like my project.


I created the bowling ball, got the mustache from the Billionaire cricut cartridge and got the bowling pin from Nifty Fifties cricut cartridge. I also used a Peachy Keen stamp to give my pin an emotion. I also used an embossing folder, can't remember if it's Cuttlebug or Sizzix.

Enjoy the rest of your day and BIG hugs to you all.

Valentine Cards

I know I am a little late getting this out, but wanted to share anyways. I've been working quite a bit lately and have finally found an opportunity to post these.






These cards I saw on another blog, Everyday Cricut, last year. I think I actually did the same thing last year except I used Mickey Mouse on them. This year, I used Create A Critter and I just love the little 3x3 size. Since I used googley eyes on the elephants I decided to give those to my co-workers. The other cards I kept flat to save on postage.



I also wanted to share with you the beautiful cards I received from a couple of good friends. This one is from my friend Dana.





And this one came from one of my oldest and dearest friends, Christa. Thanks Dana and Christa, you made my day

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Valentines and want to wish everyone a wonderful week. Big HUGS to you all.

Going Away Cards

I have a couple of cards that I want to share with you that I made for a co-worker who is moving to Texas. I used the Teddy Bear Parade on the card I made for everyone to sign. The card I made from me  I used the stamp set Groovy from Stampin Up. I really like how these came out and thought the Teddy Bear was adorable with his Texas flag.


This card I was able to use paper from my scraps, I just love being able to get into that bin.


I was also able to use scraps on this card too except for the background paper. 
Enjoy and BIG hugs to you all. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

One More Post For Today

Hi everyone again. I just wanted to share with you why I haven't been posting lately. First of all, been working quite a big and of course the holidays take up quite a bit of our time. But, the biggest reason is the home my husband and I are building. It seems every time we are off we are choosing flooring, paint, appliances etc. So I thought I would share with you where we are at with the construction:



The roofers came out today to finish  trimming the roof and dry wallers should be out Monday to start putting up the walls. Anyway, we are very excited about the prospect of moving in. Our builder says the end of February or the beginning of March.  :-)

Enjoy and BIG HUGS to you all. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
