HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I was so excited to decorate these empty crystal light containers. After much procrastination:

Here they are ready for Valentine gift giving!

I love the tops of them.....cute punched out paper with a huge heart brad.

Special Thanks to my brother, Jean-Jacques....he saved these containers for me!

Just be forewarned, they hold A LOT of candy!!!!! It took over a medium bag of M&M's to fill ONE container! I opted for hershey's nuggets and mini reese's pb cups - and only filled them about 2/3's full. Next time, I'll be filling them with the appropriate sized cookies (homemade of course)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

KAZAN'S SKETCH #45

My first post for 2 Sketches 4 You (2S4Y)! I saw all the beautiful examples with their ribbons and bling. I did intend to go that direction, but my life with all boys won out! My second son will be using this card for a birthday party on Saturday.

I especially love the barbed wire edge on the card!
It was the first circle card I've made....thanks Kazan for getting me out of my comfort zone!

MOJO MADNESS #124

My 2nd Mojo post! (still working on procrastination!) I think I'll give this to my Mita....she'll turn 96 the day before Valentine's. I love the gem stones and the border punch I used.

Thanks Mojo for the ideas!

NO TIME TO CRAFT......APPARENTLY!

I always have grand intentions of being able to craft....especially during the kids break from school. Then my kids get home and we're even busier!!! Here are a few cards that I'm putting together for a little project (that I thought would be done for Christmas....oh well) I love this Christmas card, but I haven't been able to make those stinkin' leaves stick!!!!! I think I've given up on the card. That doesn't mean I still couldn't photograph it.....it really is cute!

A simple fall colored Thank You card.
A simple Halloween card......do we have a theme - SIMPLE!

Flowers and Paisley

Since the kids are in school, maybe I can get back to business!

MOJO MADNESS #112

This is a big deal to me....my first mojo post! I wake up Monday mornings and check out Mojo's new sketch. Sometimes I even make a card, but I've never posted one to their site. Today (after a major clean-up job in the scrap room last night) I decided to make a card and link it to their site. I'm happy with my first attempt.

goodbye procrastination!

BABY SHOWER - GIRL

I love making invitation for parties. This was a simple invitation I made for a visiting teaching lady's baby shower.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my butterfly punch!

The nursery is so cute with green and pink stripes and paisley on the curtains and light and dark pink stripes on the wall. I think the invitation is cute and simple.
I'll try to get an invitation that a friend and I made Saturday night. I used the cricut to cut everything out. We thought it would make the invitation so easy to put together....I'm just glad Deanna was there to help with the assembly!
(plus it's always nice to talk with a friend until 1:00 am!)

HALLOWEEN 2009

I just had to post my favorite, most favorite halloween card. My cousin Jacquelen sent this to us and I had to share it with everyone! I wish you could see all the glittery goodness....I LOVE IT! I haven't been in my scrap room lately....sure I've put out 2 different baby girl baby shower announcements, but nothing else. Today I spent over six hours in this room - cleaning, organizing, prioritizing. The result: I'm in the room right now, on my laptop. I have desk space open and it's ready for a project. Even my cricut is set up and ready for action! Too bad I have to get up with three kids and a dog tomorrow - I'm tempted to stay up and just create! Tomorrow I'll definetly post a card!
