Nothing much

Well today I had to take my kids to their dad's/grand dad so I was on the highway the majority of the day and when I got home I took a little nap. Then I received an email from a friend that one of the ladies we had friend on the cricut cruise that her cancer has come back so that got me up  ~sending prayers her way and I was trying to explain to hubby who she is and I went to get my cricut album that isn't complete so I got my things set out for tomorrow so I can get that album done. It will be a yr next month so sad but while doing that I completed a couple of my type of Project Life pages. I print so many pictures and they just be laying around that I have no excuse not to put them in the album so here is a few pages I did

Then I came into my scrap room and found these payment coin envelope that I had picked up a couple of yrs ago and I want so bad to do a mini so I started them tonight and hopefully I can get up and finish both projects tomorrow.

 

Not sure what paper I will use for this mini but it will be fun....well time to hit the sack

Teeny Tiny Itty Bitty Books

Today I completed my Teeny Tiny Itty Bitty Books over at Mini Album Scraps I followed Mrs. Dee's tutorial on youtube and it was just what I need to complete these mini books. I made the mistake of watching  both video's of Lia's  and Mrs. Dee's at the same time and got myself off but my second set came out okay at least I think so but good thing I will use my first set for myself on projects.  (I say that because they didn't have the same measurements so that is why I said mistake but I love both of them)


I used a sheet of create paper Portrait Collection ~ Honeymoon and the Tim Holtz die for the frame to ship them out in.

 

I added pockets and used a fiskar die for the little tags to add to the pockets

 

I even cut the dies for the top pockets

 

The only regret I have is that I didn't get the ribbon long enough to make a cute bow :(

 

Now off these babies go

Have a Bless one

St Patrick's Day complete

This is so sad but I finally got a chance to get in my room and scrap today. My daughter has been here all week and I have been occupied with her and the boys so today was my day. Had a wonderful service at church then came home and cooked dinner and moved right into my scrap haven.

I completed my grandson layout for St Patrick's Day since I made him a shirt I thought I would scrap it. I will be using this LO for the challenge over at Scraps of Color Theme LO for the month ~ Good Luck, Lucky Charms, St. Patty's Day

 

If you remember on my posting of his tee shirt I did the vinyl for I used the dog cut out and this is the cut that I used the Blackout of the image so why waste it lol I don't know what I did with the color so I used a sticker from a set and wrote on it. the paper is from a studio calico kit that I had and I used We R Memories journal card

  I used a green gel pen to stitch around the page and images

 

My grand son loves to act lol......I used vellum for the first time on a project and I love it 

I finally got around to using those thickers in my stash and the date stamp

I also completed a couple of pages for my son's track file journal so now I am caught up with the track meets.  I just love this file folder brag book so simple and quick. If you want to know how I posted the link a few postings ago

Easter Cards

I completed a couple of simple Easter cards using a few cartridges. I used Easter 2010 and Create a Critter 2 for my cuts. I will use these cards for my challenge over at Scraps of Color cricut challenge.

This card I watched Janis video and completed this Triangle fold card very simple instructions and I loved how it came out. 

Also over the weekend over at Scraps of Color SVG group had a challenge to use a svg and you can use it any way you want. So I followed another youtube tutorial over a file folder  and I will be using it for my son's track pictures. He had a track meet last Friday and he did well and I am the mom that will snap a lot of pics so I have plenty of room in this file folder to add his pictures. I haven't completed it and we have another track meet tomorrow so I am hoping I can get up in the morning and add some more pages so tomorrow night I can just print the pictures and add them right to my brag book.

I used a SVG from the Silhouette store to cut with my Cameo.

 

Well I am off to bed since tomorrow is going to be a very long day with the track meet and being out in the cold.

I even pulled out the Expression to make some cuts. I used Simply Charmed for the cake. I can't remember which 6x6 paper pack I used right now. I used Feeling Sketchy to complete the card.

 On this card I used Father's Day cartridge and CTMH Artiste for the Happy Birthday Banner. The sketch is from Mojo Monday

Well two cards complete now to get back on my Easter Cards

Have a bless weekend

Clean & Simple

I love Clean & Simple sketches.....especially for when you just need a quick card. I made this simple card with the cartridge Simply Charmed for the doll and the paper pack Glitz Hello Friend and the stamp is from Hobby Lobby and the inside stamp is from Stampin up.

 

Sorry about the picture but I was to lazy to get up take it so I snapped it on the computer

 

I also played along with Janis over at Play Along on FB Janis also did a video over her 3x3 cards and I just had to play along.

Sistah/Brotha Blogger Challenge

This week over at Scraps of Color in the Sistah/Brotha Blogger Challenge is another good one

**Week 12: March Madness!!/Anything Goes** March is National Craft Month, so we're celebrating by taking a little walk on the wild side! Making pages cause panic? Does the idea of trying a new color scheme or card (or a different kind of card) make you cringe with creative fear {insert sound effects here, lol}? Art journaling give you the jitters(yikes)...Okay, you get the picture, so I'm bringing it back. This week is about trying something new or outside of your creative comfort zone. Or simply share a post of something over on your blog this week!

I wanted to use those free images on CCR. I always look and think okay I am going to make some cuts but never do but today was the day. I made some of the cuts from the cartridge Spring Holiday Cards then I went ahead and made a card out of one of the images that I had cut out.

 

While looking at the card I went upstairs and pulled out my Easter goodies......time to set my table and put my lovely's out on the fire place and make it a Easter Blessing in this house.
