Piece of Cake Hybrid.....

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you all had a

fabulous weekend! Mine was busy of course! LOL I did a

lot of cleaning and freezer cooking for the week! Have any of you

ever tried Freezer cooking? It's when you cook or prepare everything

then freeze it and pull it out when you need it for a quick meal or

breakfast. I do it every once in awhile and I wanted to get some done

for this week so I'm not overloaded by the end of the day and still have to

stand in the kitchen and prepare a meal! Soooo I cooked Breakfast Burritos

& McTheresa Sandwiches! The McTheresa's are my version of the MCD's

English Muffin Sandwich! I made about a dozen of each so my kids can

get a hot breakfast quickly and I know what went into their stomachs! :o)

I also precooked hamburger for Crock Pot Chili & Prepared my Birthday

meal! Chicken Enchilada's! YES.... I Cooked my own Birthday dinner!

You didn't think my lazy family would do that for me did you? LOL
Apparently I'm the only cook around here even though I taught my

kids to cook! Soooo YES I premade my Birthday Dinner..... All I'll

have to do is put it in the oven on Wednesday! And I'll have a lovely

dinner that I know what went into making it! tehehehe

Any who.... I guess you're not here for my freeze cooking methods are you???

Since this is my Birthday week I'll show you a Birthday Card! :o)

I designed this myself in My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!

These were Embellishments from the "Piece Of Cake" Download CD

I got from Sale-A-Bration, where you spend $50 and get something

for free! I Love anything FREE! Especially Digital Downloads! :o)

Here's an example on how I created this....

Here is the First page I did....  It shows the design I made

The white Card stock was printed with the Happy Birthday Digital Stamp

on it and the 2 gifts (pg. 2)..... I always make 2, then I flip my Card stock

and print the other 2.... The reason I don't print all 4 at once is because I

want to make sure I have enough room for it to cut 4 equal parts...

sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't so I just stick with the print 2 out first method.

Then on another page (pg. 3) I printed out the gifts

again and the banner and the Blue Sunburst. Then I cut these pieces out by hand and

put them on the white card stock. 

As you can see I cut the gifts out and then I pop them up over the

Digital printed image to add some dimension!

I hope this display helps you see a little better as to what I do when creating

my Digital Hybrid cards!

  

It really was fairly simple to do and quick once I got my design

figured out.... I usually work with 3 pages to make my Hybrid cards.

1 for the design, 2 for the base of the design, 3 for all the embellishments

I want to cut out and add to the card.... Sometimes they aren't that simple of course...

You know... like when you can't make up your mind on what to use...

I have soooo many downloads to choose from that sometimes that's what

takes the longest! LOL Oh yeah.... Like I'm the ONLY one with LOTS of

Digital Images! LOL

I'm gonna put this in a couple of Challenges over at:
Paper Playtime - Make a Birthday Card & Include a Sentiment
Go Fish Challenges - Anything Goes


Well I hope you like my card and come back

tomorrow for my Scrapbook Tuesday Layout! Until then....

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

HaPpY bIrThDaY!!!

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone! We are 1/2 way through the

week already! And Spring has Sprung around here! Early I might add!

It's never this spring like in my neck of the woods! It's usually still

pretty wintry like... Not that I mind of course... but it does concern

me that maybe this next winter may come early or be AWFUL!

You know it'll bite us in the butt one way or another! :o)

I guess you didn't come here to listen to me chat about the

weather... eh? Soooo here's another quickie Hybrid card for ya!

I used the Stampin' Up My Digital Studio Program for this quickie card!

I know I shocked you when I typed that out! LOL

This was a design in my program that I really liked so

instead of just printing it out all plain on 1 layer..... 

I made it more "ME" by doing a few things differently....

The balloons were printed out on the white card stock....

Then I printed out more balloons and cut only the

center balloon out and popped it up on top of the other one....

I used a Fiskar punch for the border and added some twine!

I printed out the sentiment then cut it out by hand and popped

it up over the twine/border! And BAM! You got yourself a

quick and easy Digital Hybrid card! You know you

gotta LOVE that! :o) Well that's about it for me this week!

I hope you guys enjoy the rest of the week and try to have

an AWESOME DAY!!!

Making the Grade....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! Wow 2 weeks in a row that

I'm showing up to share a project with you... Try not to get use to this

since my time online will be short lived once my move gets on it's way...

I'm trying to post at least 3 times a week for the month of April! The

month of May, June, July will be a different story, since I will be tooo

busy to even think straight! LOL I still haven't decided what I should

give as a Birthday gift giveaway on my Birthday!!! I'm thinkin'

about a Cartridge???? Just not sure which one yet! Or maybe

just some Scrapping supplies???? Hummmm

I guess it will be a BIG surprise for YOU & ME! LOL

Sooo, here's my Tuesday Layout for ya! :o)

Trying to take pictures of a double layout is really, really

hard for me! Sorry about the photo quality.... It's just

not something I'm use to doing or prepared for! :o)

I can't believe this was taken almost 4 years ago!

My little guy isn't so little no more! :o)

Birthday Banner!!!!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you all had

 a wonderful Easter weekend! Mine was alright.

I tried not to do to much this weekend since I know

I have a lot going on.... Hunter & I colored 30 eggs

on Saturday... it was a lot of fun for the 2 of us. Then

Sunday morning I hid the eggs throughout the house....

He found 17 of them and then Juston found the rest....

This is the first year that I gave them only chocolate

in their Easter baskets... In the past I've always put little

gifts with candy... They didn't seem to mind just

getting candy, so I think I'll start doing that instead of

adding other things... It's cost effective too! LOL

Any who.... Here is my project for today! :o)

This is a super simple My Digital Studio Hybrid Card!

I used my Stampin' Up Digital Program and the design came from

a digital design in the program..... The size that they had was for a

5 x 7 card... Well I don't make too many of those so I had to

re-do the card myself to fit a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card size... 

 The only part that took me a little time was

placing the banner pieces where I wanted them.... I basically used the

"Punch" Feature and made each banner piece (sizing them accordingly)

 and adding the colors to them, then placing them next to each other

and turning each piece to get that swag look to it....

Then I added the sentiment and printed it out on white card stock.

I trimmed it & added it to a blue card stock base.

I wish I had time to make a video and show you, so let's hope

I explained it fairly well to ya! :o)

Made some Red/White twine bows and attached some

fun buttons and there is a super simple digital hybrid card!

This is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. I'll be back tomorrow

with another weekly layout to show you!

Thanks soooo much for stopping by and leaving me a comment....

I LOVE reading them! In the mean time have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Birthday Gifts.....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone!!! WOW the middle of the

week already! The kids have one more day of school then they get

a nice Easter break.... Looking forward to coloring eggs with the kids....

I only have 2 of them home now and one of them has a race

on Saturday and won't be here... So I guess the little guy

gets to color a lot of eggs! Of course his mommy does too! LOL

I LOVE coloring Easter eggs... they have such pretty

pastel colors... with BLUE being my Favorite! LOL

Today I have another Birthday card for ya... this was

soooo super simple and easy to put together....

Card stock, Circle Punches - Stampin' Up

Designer Paper - Imaginisce (B-day Bash)

Red & White Baker's twine

Pop up Dimensionals - Stampin' Up

I basically took the punches and punched out the

letters and gifts out of the B-day Bash paper....

Popped the gifts up over the twine and popped

the letter H,P,Y, I,T,D,Y......

And BAM!!! You got a card! :o) Well

that's it for me this week.... Thanks so much for stopping

by and I hope everyone has a blessed Easter!

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

Summer Splash!

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! I know I've

shocked you all by being here today! But that's OK...

I thought I would post one of my Layouts that I created

at the crop on Friday night! I figured I would post a layout

a week for the next few weeks along with my cards that I made....

With us already into April my time online will be shrinking

even more because I'm gonna be moving into the new

store very, very soon.... I told you about the BIG MOVE back in

February (I think).... And 2 months have already flown by so

can you imagine how this month will fly.... UGH!!! I'll

be taking time off again from the blogging world very soon

so I can get my store cleaned up and moved out and into

it's new space.... I'm sooo excited and nervous at the same time...

I have my plans ready but we all know that things NEVER go

according to plans! Am I Right??? LOL I know with all

the planning I've done that things will go OK but I figure a

few hiccups won't hurt me to bad! Or at least I hope not!

Well enough about my business talk!  Let's

see that stinkin' Layout already!!!! :o)

 Sorry the Photo Quality stinks! But I took these Pictures
after work yesterday and it was COLD & CLOUDY outside...
Couldn't find any "GREAT" Shots and I took a lot of shots! LOL

Thought I would show the pages separately too....

Man, it's HARD to take shots of Layouts! :o)

Hoo's Birthday???

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all

had a FABULOUS weekend! Mine was alright... I tried

to do as little as possible but that's like totally IMPOSSIBLE!

I went to my crop til ya Drop and stayed until 4am... Which

is about what my average is! I went home and stayed up until

5:30am then headed off to bed.... Got some ZZZZ's and got up 

to start cleaning my house. Finally got that done and had laundry to do!

Then I needed to clean my scrap room from the mess I made

preparing for the Crop and  then I sorted thru 6 bags

of clothes to take to the thrift store on Monday.

Sunday was a little better.... I made breakfast like I do every Sunday.....

Took some photo's of my cards and baked dessert for Sunday's dinner...

Then started this post for you guys.... Hubby finally brought in the

4x8 sheet of wood to make my table for my other room...

You guys remember me telling you about my other

scrap room? You know the one where I'm gonna have

my friends over to craft with me once this table gets

put together... Well, he finally brought in the wood

and is gonna screw it into the table today! YEAHHH!!!

Then I will fix the table top myself once he does his

part. So hopefully my friends will be able to come &

craft at my house this month!!!  Speaking of this month...

Can you believe it's already APRIL!!! Omgosh.... the first

of the year has just flown by! This is my Birthday month

so I'll have a giveaway to celebrate my birthday as it gets closer!!!

As my Birthday gift to myself I'm finally gonna get the

Silhouette Cameo!!! I'm soooo Excited about it! :o)

I'll let you know when that happens to... :o) For now I'll

just share a Birthday card with you! Here's one I made

during the crop! I hope you like it! :o)

After looking at the picture I posted, I think I'm gonna

use my White Signo Gel pen around the balloon....

It feels like it needs a little somethin'! :o)
