Playtime Fun

So I had sooo much fun playing with the June kit from Scrap-Tastic (which is very appropriately named, Playtime Fun!) I just thought I'd drop in and share the rest of the LOs and cards (yes, I made cards!!!) that I made using it.
Honestly when I got my package and saw these little felt birds (they're part of this month's Kit Members Related Product Special) I thought, "Those are SOOO cute, but I have NO IDEA how I'll use them!" I'm totally not usually a bird person, but they just sorta fell together perfectly with this LO, didn't even plan it, they just showed up! lol. Zeke is in that picture too, he's just hard to see, Tim is carrying him.


Some simple little cards I made using up scraps...this kit was totally diverse in what styles you could come up with!
and finally a girly LO...of my Beautiful Girl. I cut the Bazzill scalloped paper and then used it half and half. The tiny pictures are from the index print that came with the order of pictures and um...I totally LOVE Prima burlap!!! (it's layered behind the picture.)

First Snow BIA mini

So...for my birthday my parents got me a Bind it All!!!! I'm sooo loving it and this is my first project with it. :)




(I'm not sure why this one is blurry and the rest aren't, but she has a snowflake on her nose!)
Watching Kessa try to make this snowball...with her tiny little mittened hands and not very much snow...too cute! It was the smallest snowball I've ever seen in my life! lol


(oops, just realized I didn't photograph a page spread that should be right here! lol, I'll get it in the next few days.)
(eating snow...and NO, it wasn't yellow! :p)


(yes, here you can tell it was my first BIA project...punched the wrong side of that last silly page!)
The lattice in our back yard is good for something!

Vintage Charm

Yup, my DS has it. Vintage charm. *sigh* I'm totally diggin this new Cosmo Cricket Lil' Man paper!!!!

This is the LO I did for last week's Crowned challenge over at Scrapdango. We had to find a LO we liked and lift it...and we had to use "make up" (ie - paint, ink, etc). Obviously the make up part was NOT a problem for me! lol
and as always...I'm continuing to LOVE the Pink Paislee Vintage Moon stamps...esp. that number one!!!

Those Eyes

Just popping in to share a photo that will just melt your heart! (it sure does mine...actually that was supposed to be the title...but when I got done putting down Thickers and I realized it said "capture my heart" instead of "melt my heart"...now if I could just find my mind....*roll eyes*)

Anyway, I'm doing a fun contest over at Scrapdango and this week's challenge was to "Bling it On" and use at least two types of bling. So...here's some bling...and my darling son's amazing blue eyes! Enjoy!!

Scrappy Stuff + Littles

Just a LO and altered canvas I did recently. I've got some great pics of Zeke lately that I'm having a ton of fun scrapping! :)

I made this for our front door. The picture is attached with repositionable tape so I can change it out whenever I get a hankerin' to. (hehehe....I don't know why, but I've had a hankerin' to use the word hankerin lately!)
LO I did using the Scrapdango October kit from Scrap within Reach. I LOVE this line!!! yummy!!! And are these not the cutest pictures of Zekiel playing at the park?!?! Love them!
And have I mentioned lately to have these AMAZING kids in my life?!?!
They crack me up and teach me all day everyday! :)

World Cardmaking Day!!!!

HAPPY WCD!!!!! We're having a fun card crop, complete with prizes, over at Scrapdango today!!! Hop on over here and check out all the fun challenges. Here's a sneak peek of the card I made for one of my challenges.

Scrappy Stuff!!!

I'm the Guest Designer over at Scrapdango this month and I just have to say that I LOVED the papers in the Spice kit that I got to play with. They're from the Elliot collection by Scrap Within Reach. Yum!!!

Ok, first off I took a Maya Road letter tin and altered it into a nightlight for my DS. I also used this for the Noel Mignon Recycle Reduce Reuse contest. I wasn't really sure that the tin would count as something I would normally throw away (even though it WAS packaging..) but either way it doesn't matter because I was out of dimensionals and this project needed a ton of them...so I used the foam from scraps that I had trimmed from some SU stamps. They're already self adhesive, just peel off the rubber and add a little glue to one side if needed and viola! Dimensionals from things I would normally throw away! :D


I printed a very from Psalms that says, "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety." on a transparency. It's kind of bowed out from the lid, then the pictures are double popped up and the LIVE bingo card is just popped a little and everything else is adhered directly to the pp on the back.

An angled pic to get some more detail without the glare.
and a picture of it lighted!! :D I LOVE how it looks lighted!!!


moving on...LO of Zeke doing what he always does outside...eating grass! There's hidden journaling behind the picture (on the "read this" tab)


This was a very simple LO...something I'm not usually very good at, but I really like how the messy stitching around the "lucky" turned out.


and a DPS. the chair on the vertical pic is popped up a little bit.

Ok, that's it for now. Have a great day!
