Make a wish.....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope your week is

off to a great start! I've been creating like I said yesterday

so that's good for me! :o) Tomorrow is my Middle sons

Birthday! He'll be 16 yrs. old! And He'll be getting his

License as well! He's actually a pretty good driver compared

to his older brother... I mean he's a good driver too but when

I was first teaching him (older Bro) how to drive he made me

so nervous to be in the car with him.... I think it was because

he was really nervous.... His hands would get all sweaty when

he would drive which I think made me nervous.... But my

Middle Son has a lot more confidence with his driving abilities

that I was never nervous being in the car with him.... I actually

felt safe.... Weird? Hu??? Anyway so I will post a CARD! Yes

I said a CARD for tomorrow... Not my son's Birthday card

since I don't want him to see it just yet but a card indeed!

So today's post is the conclusion to yesterdays Layout! :O)

I did a black out on my sons friends faces, because I didn't get

their parents permission to show them on my blog.... :o)

Designer Paper is from My Mind's Eye (Lemon Twist)

I used Bo Bunny Double Dot Paper for the words/number...

The "Make a Wish" was cut out @ 5 1/2" using the

Sweet Treats Cartridge.... The Number (8) was Cut @ 2"

From the same cart.... I cut both items out 2x's each for

added dimension! I also inked and used my Signo Gel pen...

I used a Fiskar Border Punch (Treading Water)

and I used the Plantin Cartridge for the Stars...

They were cut out @ 1", 2", 3", (2x's each)

I hope you liked the second half of this 4 page Layout!

I really enjoyed making it! Now tomorrow I'll

be back with a CARD! Yeah!!! I got some Mojo back!

Thanks for stopping By and Have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Eight Year's Old....

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had

a fabulous weekend! The Fireworks for "Pioneer Days"

was AWESOME! They looked so cool and so close since

they go right over my house! It was hot most of the day...

But luckily around here the evenings are nice and cool

so I try to go outside in the evening time when the weather

is at it's best around here! Lots of people from all over the

state come to visit their family and friends... The town was

definitely popping Friday & Saturday night! Both of my older

boys work at restaurants and they both were wore out with

all the people coming in! They don't like it much but I

know the business owners LOVED having their places

full all day long! :o) And I was even creative over the weekend!

I think my Mojo is back to some degree... I guess you'll have to

wait and see what I've been making! Today will be another

Layout since I told ya last week that I still had more to

show you... So without further ado here's today's 2 page LO!

The Designer Paper is from My Mind's Eye (Lemon Twist)

I cut the Stars out with the Plantin Cartridge

They were cut @ 1", 2", 3" and I did them (2x's each)

to give them some dimension

The "Happy Birthday" was Cut @ 7" and

is from the Sweet Treats Cartridge....

I used a signo gel pen for the Faux Stitching.....

I used the Bo Bunny Double Dot paper for these cuts....

I cut the Large Circle From the George Cartridge...

It was cut @ 5 1/2".....

The Tag was cut from the Sweet Treats Cartridge...

I cut it @ 5" and the ribbon was in my stash.....

Well I hope you like it cause I have the other 2

pages to show you tomorrow.... Yup this was a

4 page layout! :o) Thanks for stopping by and

Thanks so much for leaving comments they mean

so much to me! Have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Brothers... Love....

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! I Can't believe the

week is almost over already! Wow these past 4 days went

so super fast! And I'm already heading into my weekend!

I guess I better get some crafty things done for ya.... I still

need to get my next video up so that will be coming very

soon... :o) This weekend Utah celebrates it's

"Pioneer Days" When Utah became a state....

So there will be a lot going on around town

the next few days..... My favorite part is the Firework

show the town puts off every year! I'm not from Utah so

I don't get too involved in their Celebration but the fireworks

can be seen from my backyard so it's one thing my family

gets to enjoy! They also have a parade showing all kinds of things...

TRACTORS being the biggest part! They have a lot of

OLD style types which are pretty neat to see.... Most

of the people that live here in my small town grew up here

and have family that's been around for many generations....

It's actually quite interesting to see and they are very

proud of where they come from.... And I'm happy

to live in their wonderful community/Town! :o)

Everything is from the Bo Bunny Ad Lib Line

I cut around the rock paper...

The stickers all look 3D and I used card stock

for the backings so I can pop them up with dimensionals

Cartridge - Heritage (Brothers) was Cut @ 1 1/2"

I also used a white signo gel pen

I used glue dots on the embellishments

Cartridge - Heritage (Love) was Cut @ 2"

Im gonna put this in the Challenge over at:

Paper Cutz Challenge - Anything Goes

Well that's it for me this week! Thanks so much for

stopping by and leaving comments... I always enjoy

reading them! Enjoy the rest of your week and I hope

you have a great weekend as well! For now

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Graduation Layout.....

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! I know I was suppose

to post a video but a few things got in the way of that so I

decided to show you this whole week what I did over the

Weekend! It may even go into next week as well.... So You

know I said I lost my Mojo.... right? Well I realized that I didn't

lose my full Mojo... just my mojo for card making at this time!

I know how could that be? who knows... So instead of making

cards I chose to make Layouts! YES, I said Layouts! I know most

of you are in shock! Since you know I'm a card maker! And I like

to do digital layouts... Remember I had a crop on Friday night and

I had nothing pre-made to bring with me.... well I decided instead

to try my hand at what brought me into the crafting world to begin

with and that was scrapbooking! So for this whole week and probably

next week as well (yes I made that many!) I will post the scrapbook

pages I made at my crop! I hope you like seeing them cause I'm

pretty darn proud of them! So here is the first one! :o)

Everything is from the Bo Bunny (Timepiece) Collection

I cut out around the watches and layered that piece on

top of the same exact designer paper...  (I hope

that makes sense)

Used an embellishment to lay on top of the paper watch

This is a thick sticker but look 3D! I placed the sticker

on a piece of white card stock and added dimensionals

to pop it up over a portion of the photo....

I used the Billionaire Cartridge and welded the

words together in my gypsy.... Cut @ 1 1/2"

I used the fiskar border punch (uppercrest) on this strip

and the border strip on the other page. These are also

stickers that I put on white card stock then added

dimensionals to pop it up over his photo...

This is going into my scrapbook and I have plenty more

photos to make an 8x8 scrapbook for my son to take

with him when he leaves next month.... :o)

So you see.... I still have some Mojo left in me just

not for cards right now... I'm hoping it will be back

in no time after making all kinds of fun layouts that I

can't wait to show you! Thanks for stopping by

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!
