New Stuff Created

Yep, it's been a while since I posted....please don't be mad. With three kids active in everything, crafting for me has been a little difficult. But, I am slowly getting back to it with the newly renovated craft room (that used to be the boys' bedroom). Here's what has been done...

Plenty of adventures to scrapbook from myself and the family!

At first I was a little overwhelmed with the peg board walls, but now I am LOVING THEM! I have everything in front of me and within reach! Thanks to our friends Marianne & Shawn for giving me more black vinyl which I created the cutouts with my cricut!

This is the newest page, I wanted so much to get my DD's album done before graduation....yep...I'm bad because it didn't get fully finished. So, as I am able to get pictures printed~pages get done. 

Word of advice....graduation year moves at an epic pace so plan ahead!

Have a great day!

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!!

Happy Birthday!

Ever have one of those days where you start a project and it takes a lot longer than originally thought? This one was one of those. I like it, don't get me wrong but it took way longer to do than I thought it would. Maybe it's my cold or maybe the cold weather outside, but I am happy to have it done, finally!

Idea from Pinterest and the papersmooches.blogspot.com

Sympathy & Thinking of you cards

Sadly we had some deaths in our family and friends . So I worked on some cards today to mail out .

During making these cards I started thinking about long distance friends and family. That's the thinking of you card.

Stampin' Up Sheltering Tree stamp set, Paper Smooches stamps, stamp in' Up stamps, Cuddle bug embossing folders, and rhinestones were used.
Hope you have a good day!

Go to your Happy Place

Everyone should have a "Happy Place"!

This stamp set is from Paper Smooches. I love it! I finally made more than one card at a time tonight. I've seen so many say that if you take the time to cut stuff for one, you should cut more at the same time and have extras to keep on hand. 

This time, for some crazy reason, after I embossed the background paper I ran it though again to flatten it. Causing it to flatten the some of the embossing! Totally a "duhhhh" moment on my part. But only I can tell! Have you ever had any moments like that while crafting???

Have a great day!

Graduation Ideas

Working in my craft room, I was thinking of ideas for my daughter's open house. Using the new thinlets from Stampin' Up I came up with a small goodie bag. I also used the sets Perpetual Calendar and the Basic Alphabet set.

More Craft Room Fun

Working in my craft room!

Yes, you read correctly...craft room!
After 13 years, I now have a room again to hold all my stuff. And WOW, I have more than I thought.

But, couldn't resist some neat items at a friend's Stampin' Up party a few weeks ago. So in the picture you will see a few items I purchased.
