Hello there....I am back with a sweet little card made from my Scrapbook Obsessions kit {link below}. In the kit this month are fabulous papers from 3 Bugs in a Rug.....soooo very cute...love it!

You have got to check these kits out....so full of all kinds of goodies! On to my card....let me know what you think! Have a great weekend!

Be Mine


Hello ladies......good evening! What a busy day.....wasn't sure I was gonna make it! I ended up doing some shopping with the family....I bought some scrappy stuff at Michaels [ so hard to talk the boys into waiting], bought some Yankee candles [some new scents for fall] mmm sweet! Then had to buy my son some tennis shoes....so hard to find his size....15....we usually buy online. Well enough chatting and down to business.....I am cutting it close as it is. I have my 2 sketches 4 you card.....love the sketch! I am not usually a big DCWV fan but love the Rustic and Mod Retro...so pretty I could not resist. The paper I used was from the Rustic stack.....flowers were prima sprayed with glimmer mist and butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch. I love the vintage feel don't you? Must fly to get this posted.....have a great weekend!

Hello Hello everyone.....taking a quick break before my company comes. Had to post something.... anything.....its been days. I will however hopefully get at least 1 card done tomorrow......2 sketches 4 you. I miss scrapping.....but house chores come first....you know how it is. I am hoping to see "The Time Travelers Wife" this weekend.....anyone see it yet? I really wanted to read the book first but time just seems to get away from me. I used to sit and read for hours.....now I am on the computer....hehe. I enjoy it though.....so many things to see. I will have to have a section of my favorite blogs.....as soon as I figure it out I will put them all up. Then you can enjoy some of these sites too. Well I really must run....have a great evening all! Enjoy a few family pics. My Grandson, my sister and brother in law and niece, last 2 are my new grandson...so sweet !

First day of school....


And time ticks away......only 2 years left and I will have an empty nest. My time is short with my kids.....you don't realize it until you only have 1 left in the nest. Anyone relate out there? Well onto todays post......Card Patterns challenge. I love there sketches.....so easy to work with! For my card I thought I would try some new techniques.....first I mixed 2 different distress crackle paints together to match my pp.....so easy to do....a little of each on a pallet mix and paint. Then I did some inking on the tag and dropped with water and heat with a heat gun. Then embossed image with distress ink. I really like the effect....what about you? Do you like trying new things? I had fun with this! Hope you enjoy the card.....be back soon!

Remember forever


Hello all....good evening! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Thought I would post this here. I used a sketch from Creative scrappers blogspot....sketch 63....love the sketch! I used the Junebug collection from Basicgrey. I believe all I have left are scraps now...lol. Well I am a big fan of quotes and songs as inspiration.....sometimes I need that help especially when it comes to journalling. Here is what this quote says....."Come, Grandma, walk with me....help me be the best kid I can be. Take me here and take me there...show me how much you care. The many hours we share together....will be the times I'll remember forever." Well thats all folks! Have a great Sunday!!
