I got me a Sketch book cause of her.. I always have ideas floating in my head and I'll doodle some and some I'll forget about, but NOW I have a place to put my ideas in and all the sketches I'll be doing from now on. So BIG thanks to Lauren for that Light bulb moment.

Next I got my blog candy from scentfully Yours and she included some yummy sents to add to my cards AND some stamped images that are soon coming out and so I got to play with them I love them (its the card w/the gal walking her pup)

Sunday Scrappin': Easter Edition

Happy Easter everyone! :) I just wanted to post before we leave to my Uncle-in-Law for our Annual Easter Family Dinner. For this Sunday Scrappin I will actually start with the Bonus Question of the Week:

For which holiday do you do the most crafts? Well for me its not really a holiday but its B-days I love to do crafts for although for this last year I have actually been doing little things for each holiday so ask me that question again next year! lol

Well time to see did I make my Goals for the week: I did! :)Ta-Da!

I even got a chance to do some cards to take with me I made one for my Nephew since its his first Easter! :)



Then I said let me make my SIL (my middle SIL not Nate's mom) a card because she has been taking the boys the past two weeks and is awesome at keeping ALL the kids busy and she is the one who puts the Easter hunt together for the kids. Steph Love you!! :)




Then of course I had to play again with my New CTMH Stamps-Baby Miracles they are just so cute! :) Don't you agree.. the sentiment is from SU from the Hostess stamp set: Sweet Dreams



Now for my To-Do's:


Well the first thing I want to do is for today I want to take a nice pic of my babies together.. hmmm lets see how that goes.. a 9,about to 5 this week yr. old and 14 mth old.. to stay still hmmmmm GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING! lol...

-I have to make a couple of cards for some challenges

- Do a Layout because I hardly do any of those anymore.



Well I wish you and your a blessed and Happy Easter!

Reflect

I went over to Gina K and I found this...

Blessing to all :)

Just Playing

Hello all I wanted to post these cards as I wouldn't be making any cards as tomorrow is Holy Friday and I would like to just respect tomorrow. I finally used my Essence of Love set from Stampin Up.. OH I {HEART} this set wow its so elegant I love it...



Then I played again with the Buggies & Booties retired Stampin Up set OHH I love this set too! lol.. I used Spring Silhouettes for the background paper. For the sentiment I used So Many Scalloped, I think it worked perfect with this card.



Finally I wanted to post a card I made with my CTMH stamps-Baby Miracles that I think are so freaking cute its all of little babies! (HAD to BE MINE!!) I also used Buggies & Booties w/VersaMark for the background (the rattles) as well Curvy Verses for the sentiment.




Did you know that today is the first day of Spring!! I am sooo happy!! Soon it will be beautiful weather that I can enjoy with my babies outside!! The ice cream truck came down our block this week already! lol Of course we had to get some althought its still cold outside.. But it was yum,yum,yum good! lol

Blog Winner and a Card!

Weekend Sketch Challenge #38

I decided to play again this weekend with Beate's Sketch challenge. This is what I came up with. I had actually never really used Mouse House but I did a image swap with someone and was able to get some of these and other images. I was a bit nervous as I was wondering how in the world would I color this, BUT I took my trusty Copics and away I went. :)

Scrappin Sunday#17

Hello everyone! Did you remember to fix your clocks??? (SMILE) AHHH getting closer to Spring!! I can't wait... Any hoot its that day in the week where we all hold our breathes.. Did she do it??? (I know I'm so corny! lol)

I WANT A SCOR-PAL!!!! I know, I know you guys must be saying what happened to my Scor-it... hmmm lets not talk about it.. It was good at the beginning and then there was an accident w/it but I did manage to sell it! LOL.. SO now I want a scor-pal.. WHY??? Well for one I love that there is no need to move your paper if you are scoring at different measurements AND you can use a page as big as 12x12 and of course all the AWESOME projects I've seen with it that are making me drool.. JUST in case you have no idea what I'm talking about.. here is the site : Scor-Pal

Rainy Wednesday..

Wow woke up to the sound of the wind and OHHH LOADS of rain! Of course I said what will make me forgot about this rain... crafting of course! So I did my card of the week for my CTMH club. This week Maria's challenge for us was to make a white and black card were able to use another color just for accent and since St.Patty's is right around the corner I said why not green and its also my sweet DS2 Isaac's fav. color-green! This is what I came up with..



You can't really see but the center of the flowers have accents in green that's also another reason why I chose green.

Well I am off I have 1 more sketch and I am done for the week! YEAHHH I can't believe I'm done early this week! YIPPPEEEE.... :)

Wouldn't know how to sit down in the first place! lol I have gone to hmm 3 crops and I was all over the place because it just felt weird to sit! lol BUT I prefer it that way I surprise even myself when I finish my projects! LOL
