Another Mojo145 card-Square version

Well here is my square version of this weeks mojomonday, using Cosmo's Material Girl paper. I am in love with anything vintage right now. Anywho pretty straight forward -stamp(Simple Stiches) cardstock, buttons and hemp are CTMH, I also used my sewing machine, and SU scalloped border and circle punch, and I can not remember where the stick pin is from! I keep thinking practice makes perfect so I need to keep on truckin with my sewing so maybe someday I will get better at it! Well I am off for now my old neighbor Aubrey just called and she is going to be bringing her girls over to play and Elaina wants to get her tea party stuff out-oh don't ya just love girly stuff?

sssc75 card

Well is'nt that a mouthful? I have been going to this fabulous blog recently and have found another great challenge called the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge you can find it here at http://www.kgiron.blogspot.com/. So this card is my take on the sketch, I as always used October Afternoon- Thrift Shop paper, the flower was made cutting out several sizes of flower from the Cricut(Accent Essentials) and the leaves are felt from CTMH which I even stiched on (yeah me) and the buttons are also CTMH. Let me know what you think!

A day at the pond!

We spent our Sunday afternoon at the pond which is right behind my dad's house! The kid's of course were like fish and in the water the whole time. We cooked hotdogs and ribs on the fire and had salads and chips and even a chocolate cake to celebrate Owen's birthday. Oh and what do you think of my smiling baby Eli, he is 8 weeks old today and he is starting to do all that great fun stuff, the smiling and cooing I love it, and he has started sleeping through the night I love that too! Some times when I stop and just take in my life I am amazed at the goodness of God.

It's Saturday again!

So here is my take on Jen's sfytt challenge this week! You can find the sketch at http://www.iheart2stamp.com/. The paper is from October Afternoons Fly A Kite line and the Stamped images are from CTMH'S Love Birds stamp set. I also want to mention that on this day 4 years ago I gave birth to my third child, Owen David my little yellow haired blue eyed boy. He is my wild child but he can also be a huge sweetheart, I thank God for you today and everyday happy birthday my little boom boom!

Enchanted Forest

So today me, my sister and my 2 oldest children went to Enchanted Forest an amusement/water park

about an hour away! Of course my camera is not so good at taking pictures (yes I am blaming my camera and not the photographer) so glad I ordered a new one! Anywhoo I did not get very many pictures but we had an enjoyable but exhausting time. I just wish I had decided not to ride on the Tilt-a-Whirl as it is now about 8 hrs later and I still have a headache and am nauseous I guess I am just to old for those fast moving machines! Have a great night I know I will sleep like a baby(as long as my baby sleeps like a baby).

Pool Time Fun

I picked up a pool for the kids today and Avery had a blast, except for the one picture where she has on quite the pout face but I thought it was cute!

MOJO144 & Heart 2 Heart card

Wow, my card today actually is the sketch from Mojo Monday and the color combo was from the Heart 2 Heart challenge blog to use the colors Tulip, Black, Buttercup, and White or Cream. The stamps I used are Classmate Alpha(sentiment), Enjoy Every Moment, and Intrinsic Backgrounds all from CTMH. I also used the Swiss Dots embossing Folder, nestability die, black brads, Satin ribbon(Offray) and Copics for coloring!

SFYTT-Happy Hopper in the tub card

Okay, here is my take on this weeks SFYTT. The idea for the shower curtain was totally stolen from none other than Beate Johns from a card she made and posted on the MFT blog! I fell in love with the idea and knew I wanted to try it with this House Mouse/ Happy Hopper stamp. The paper is from Cosmo Cricuts Delovely collection, the image was colored with Copics, I also used Gelly Gems and Glitz Glitter Glue, a flower and Flower soft for the rug! You can click on the picture to see it better!

Well, these pictures did not turn out so great- sorry! Anyways these are little treat bags for Elaina to take to school! The "Kool-Aid" ones are for her classmates, now mind you I have never once bought Kool-Aid for my kids so why did I buy it now? So it's not the healthiest drink on the market but I thought the have a kool summer sentiment was adorable. The bag with the smarties are for her class aids and art,music, and gym teachers!

Okay, so let me just say I love everything about this card! It is so vintage and soft and feminine!
The clear scalloped card base is from CTMH, and all the paper is from....... can you guess? That's right more October Afternoon, everything was distressed with Desert sand ink, buttons are Basic Grey, Felt is from Fancy Pants, pearls from Michaels. I cut the circles out with my Cricut(Plantin Schoolbook), scalloped circle Nestability, and MS butterfly punch and small tag punch! Now I can't tell you who this card is for as it is a surprise, but I hope she enjoys it!

End of the year teacher gift & card

Well this is my daughter's last year in public school, next year I will begin homeshooling. It is somewhat bittersweet, I on one hand can not wait to start homeschooling but on the other hand I am sad I won't have an excuse for cute little teacher gifts! Oh well, for the 2nd year in a row we were blessed with a wonderful teacher and I am so thankful that Elaina will walk away from public school in just 2 weeks with some wonderful memories! Okay before I get too sappy, I found this cute little paint can at Michaels, right now all it has in it is a puffy thing you use in the shower, later I will add some country apple, all natural, locally handmade soap and a few other goodies, I will repost after it is all finished! I used CTMH cardstock and all the patterned paper is from October Afternoon(my newest obsession). Cranberry sparkles, buttons and hemp are from CTMH. The apple with the seeds on the paint can is a sticker from October Afternoon, and the other apples were cut using my Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cart. The little ring hanging from the ribbon is the "can opener" I have a few more end of the year projects I will be working on and posting soon!

Farm Fresh

Here is a quick thank you card I made using October Afternoon paper and stickers! I also used CTMH's Card Chatter-Thank You ss, Colonial White brads and sparkles!
