Some summer fun projects...

Here are a couple more projects that I have done with the July kit at I am a Scrapaholic. The kit is totally fab and the colors are amazing. I am just having so many ideas swirling around in my head with all the goodies in this kit.





I believe the kits are sold out but there are extra paper packs and some little pill kits left.

Is it hot enough for you???

I really can't complain all that much since we haven't had any rain but man is it warm... I love it though. The kids are always out side playing and having a good time with friends etc. So I have had lots of time to scrap... I have been playing with the July kit from I am a scrapaholic... OMG is it ever amazing... The colors and all the embellishments are just to die for. Here are a few layouts I have done so far and I have a few more that will be up in a few days.





The last layout is for a new challenge that I put up at I am a scrapaholic. It's a liquid medium challenge. You have to use 3 different liquid mediums on your layout. Check out the "I challenge You" section of the forum at I am a scrapaholic for more details.

The kids are having a blast with them. Lola is very vocal loves to growl and bark to be let up on the couch with me.. She's doesn't like to be left out of anything and Rockey is more quiet but loves to play with the boys where Lola would rather sit on the couch and watch. Just like a little lady. lol

New bundle of Joy...

Her name is LOLA...

She is so teenie tiny... Here she is sittin in the palm of my hand. hehe

Ok now isn't she the cutest thing... She is half minature pincher and half datson.

The weather here in Texas is hot and humid but I will take it any day over rain back home and well from what I hear it's not even raining so go figure. LOL

Super Excited....

This has been on the down low a bit but I am super excited... this is an exclusive item that Magistical memories did for The Embellishment Studio for the May 15- June 15th kit. It is designed from one of my owls that I have been making since I was a kid. This is called "Liby Owl"


Leave me a comment from now till Monday May 19 and I will pull a few names on Tuesday May 20th and send out some Liby owl RAK's..

The kits will go up on the embellishment studio website some time next week so stay tuned... The ribbon is Amazing..

Down by the River...

Well things have settled down a little bit in my life. We have been doing a lot of family time and since the weather has been great on the weekends we went down by the river. Of course I had to take my camera to get some photos.

Here is a photo of Miranda... She had fun looking for cool rocks for the fist tank.. I can't believe she is going to be 14 in a few months.

The water was ice cold but you know kids they just have to get in.. lol

Here the little guys are trying to figure out if this is wood or a bone of some amazing creature. lol

This photo is my favorite photo. I have no idea why but I just love it.

I have been working on a few layouts and cards and will get them up in the next few days...

Till then... I hope your weekends have been nice and sunny.

It started to stick right away as it's been cold the past 2 days. Here are some photos I just took. It's been about an hour now since it started to snow and well it doesn't look like it's gonna stop any time soon. lol


Crazy crazy weather. The kids area already hoping for a snow day tomorrow. LOL If it keeps it up they just may get it. lol

Easter Cupcakes...

This year I decided to do a little something different... Hubby usually colors eggs with the kids while I take photos etc. Well on Wednesday we found out hubby was being extended on his Military TAD and will not be home for Easter now. So I thought I would come up with my own thing to do with the kids. So I went out and got all the things I needed to get to make the most amazing cup cakes. I found the most amazing jumbo sprinkles at Target in the Easter stuff and went from there. The kids really love the idea. lol So today we started making our Jumbo cupcakes. LOL Well my cupcake wrappers are two small for my jumbo cupcake pan but we made do. lol today we made red velvet jumbo cupcakes and mini cupcakes. While they were cooking Miranda was watching them and I ran out to the store and got a regular cupcake tin so we could make regular size ones tomorrow after breakfast.lol The little guys really enjoyed decorating the cupcakes and Joshua dove face first into the first one and started to eat it before I could stop him. He is allergic to red dye and gets a little rash for 24 hours when he eats something with red dye. You would be amazed at how many things that aren't red have red dye in it. Anyway here are a few pictures of some of our cupcakes. The next batch is Lemon. mmmmm

A New challenge and a few new cards...

The new challenge is up at Caardvarks. Fruits and Veggie cards... Be sure to check it out and show us your fruit and veggie cards.

Here is my card


I have found some amazing new papers from a company called Graphic 45. I am soooooooooooooooooo loving all the amazing pattern papers. Here are a couple cards I have done so far and I'm working on a few projects that I hope to have done soon.. I just have to find more paper.LOL The first is a Baby card. It's totally simple and easy to do. I added some hand stitching for that little added something. The second card would make a great "Lets do lunch" card which is what it says inside the card.


Thanks for looking and I hope you have an amazing day.

Simple easy cards...

I have been working on some simple easy cards with the March kit at IAAS. The first card I hope shows that I have really been taking some time with those little added touches that seem to go a long way. The second card is a simple but elegant card and the 3rd card well I love the owls, they are sooooooooo cute.


Thanks for looking and have a great day.
