birthday blue


Hi blog readers. Just a quick post this Satruday evening. I made this card awhile back but never posted it so I thought I would share it with you. I love the blue,white,green combo of colors and I based this card of of the ribbon that I loveand a scrap of paper my friend gave me.
I hope you all are enjoying your long weekend. I have been in a sping cleaning kick (well really my husband is on a spring cleaning kick) so we have spent the weekend doing all the odd things that never seem to get clean like closets, blinds, baseboards, and windows screens but we are now done and we are going to relax the rest of the weekend watching movies, and bbqing with friends and maybe even get some crafting in.

Simple scrapbook page


Hi blog readers. I hope you all had a nice Mothers Day weekend. I certainly did.

I wanted to share with you a scrapbook page I made on National Scrap weekend. This year instead of going to a store we did a friday night scrap at a friends. We had a mexican theme since it was also close to Cinco De Mayo and just had a great time visiting had having yummy food and goodies. I made this page that night and it is very simple but I really liked how it turned out. The lettering was from the alphalicious cricut cartridge and they just looked very St. Patricks day to me. In a firefighters home St. Patricks day is a big deal with parades and parties and we just had a fun time that night so I of course had to make a page about it. Thanks for taking a look and have a wonderful day.

anniversary card


Hi everyone. I just wanted to share a card with you that I made for my hubby. We have been married 12 years today. I really liked the way this card turned out. the ribbon is from american crafts and it has gold flex in it which I love. The letters were stickers. I bought them at Michaels but I can't remember who made them and I don't have the package anymore but I just loved them. I am thinking making memories. Michaels had them in black, gold and silver and I really loved the gold. They went perfect with the ribbon of course so I had to get them.
Happy Anniversary Honey. I love you!!!!

Kristinas 50th color challenge


Hi everyone. Today I am posting a card I made for Kristina Werners 50th color challenge. I love her blog and she has an amazing talent that I admire. For her 5oth celebration she is giving away some fabulous prizes and so I thought I haven't participated in awhile what better reason. The colors this week were yellow, brown, red, white and turqoise. I really loved working with this color combo and I will have to try it again for some scrapbook pages in the future.

Thanks for taking the time to see what I created. Have a great week.

Fun michaels purchase


Happy Firday everyone! SO usually I go into michaels needing something specific for a project but this week I just went in because they were having a great sale and I thought I would pick somethings up if I saw anything interesting. WELL as you can see I found a lot . The titles on the right are by me and my big ideas and they were over by the stickers but they are decorated chipboard with sticky on the back. They were 1.19 each so of cousre I had to get a TON. the other packs are various but I LOVe the firefighter one. Soft spokens were 40%off and I love them because you can make a scrapbook page of a project with one of these and a piece of paper and your pictures and you don't have to think about a thing. You just slap it on and it looks great and put together. The other two items the distress ink and acrylic letters I just saw and both were on sale also so I thought I would pick them up. Well thanks for looking at my purchase. I can't wait to show you what I make with them.
