Mini Album

I made one of these at a CTMH friend's (Adeline) workshop last year and loved it! Here is my new one using all of the new CTMH colors and capturing fun moments from this year's CTMH convention.

I haven't journaled on the pages yet, but hope that will come together this afternoon!

Cool Christmas Album

This is the acrylic album we made at convention last month. I am finally putting the finishing touches on it. I used photos of our kids from last Christmas. I love the new Evensong paper. It is beautiful! I had to stop myself from adding any more rubons because I love those things!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend. :-)

Preschool

Bryson started 3 yo preschool T/Th this week. Isn't he precious? I used my new voice recorder and taped him telling me about what he will do at school. I am making him a memory box to keep his "stuff" from school, too. It should be finished soon!

Friday Night Cards

I put the kids in bed last night and escaped to the craft room. My husband was out for the evening, so I had some time to create!
I used the Originals book and created these with the Pretty Simple on page 116. I love the simple layout of these cards. The first uses scraps from the More to Adore PP and the second is Boom-Di-Ada.
I love inking up my Dimensional Elements. So quick and easy!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Like a Big Brother

My Bryson has a big role to play in the lives of three little girls. He has one little sister, but he also has two cousins who are younger than him. He is going to be the big brother of the bunch, and I sure hope he is up for the task!

Here he is giving Avery her first "big brother" kiss. So sweet!

Using Up the Old Stuff

I've had this paper packet for two years now. I decided it was time to use it up. I still have some left, but I am sure I can come up with a few more cards!

I love how these card fronts came out. Very simple and quick!

Another Thanks!

Look at the cool cards Jenn made me at her card class!

What a sweetie! :-)

Thank You

I am very late on posting this picture! I received some Blog Candy from Lynn- The Queen's Scene- awhile back. I took a picture, and never put it on here!

I love all the goodies. I was so shocked that out of 99 posts, my name was chosen! That luck continued with me to the CTMH convention where I got all those stamp sets. Thanks to Lynn!

The pink paper in the front with the cupcake is a card I am working on using the supplies she sent to me.

So many emotions, but mostly, overjoyed!

My sister gave birth to her 2nd daughter, Avery, this afternoon. It's been a rough few weeks, and we are all relieved that mom and baby are doing great! :-) I am going to meet her tonight. I can't wait!

Slacker

So, a few of you have given me awards on your blogs in the past month. I've been a really big slacker about replying to those. First, I say a big thank you to everyone! I am so glad I started this blog. I get so much inspiration from you all. It makes crafting so much more fun! Believe me, when I show Nathan my creations he smiles, but he just doesn't get it! :-)
Now, I want to thank all of you for your sweet and uplifting comments. They never go unnoticed and are always appreciated!

I'm off to get creative...
