Robot Birthday!

**** Click HERE for my current GIVEAWAY!! *****

Hi! Hi! Hi! Today I have a a card and bag set for a little boy to show you!! Bria and Brittyn went to their little buddies' combined 3 year old party! It was so cute! There were 8 kids under 3, so it was a little "hairy" at times!

Unfortunately the colors didn't photograph great... The orange looks kinda funny on here..

I used the robot from Boys Will Be Boys (cut @ 3.25"). I embossed the grey layer with a distressed stripes cuttlebug folder and added a silver brad for a button. I used my Martha Stewart border punch for the grey border and the spots and dots cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the orange layer. The sentiment 'Happy Birthday' was from the Big Thoughts set by Pink By Design. 

Hope you like!! I have the card I made for the other little birthday boy to show you tomorrow! I'm also working on a big haul video for you all!! 

In all that has been going on this last month, I have totally forgotten about my 350 follower givevaway!!! Check out the link at the top of this post and spread the word!! 

Pretty Hello Kitty Invites

Hi Everyone!! It's my day to post over at the Pink By Design Blog! Head on over there to check out the invites (and a couple other little goodies) I made for Bria's third birthday party on the 30th!!

Hoping to be back again tomorrow with some boy birthday cards!!

Hello!!

Hi Everyone!! I'm sorry I haven't been posting very consistently these days!! There has been so much going on around here and my nephews have been here for the last two weeks. I DO have a project post for you tomorrow though!!! And I have lots of things I would like to get done to show you, it's just a matter of finding the time!! I ALSO want to catch up on a lot of your blogs!! 

The next three weeks are going to be crazy for us! They will be filled with birthday parties, stagette's and me making plans for our family holiday in early September!! We are taking the girls to Disney World!!! YAY! It's a dream come true for me!!!! We're actually going there to look into buying a vacation home near Disney! Now THAT is actually a dream come true for me!!!! I LOVE Disney, and the thought of having a home in Florida is super exciting!!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, since nothing is guaranteed.... But we still have a holiday to look forward to! And we leave the day after I get back from a weekend stagette for my best friend! Can you tell I am sooo excited for the rest of the summer? :) Anyways, I'll be back tomorrow!! And hopefully the next day too! Have a great rest of the day!! 

Brittyn's ONE!!!!

Hey everyone!!! So August has been (and will continue to be) one CRAZY month around here!!! Tuesday was Brittyn's FIRST birthday!! So much fun! To top it off, yesterday my brother and sister-in-law had their fourth baby!! After 3 boys, they got their little girl! :) We went to meet her yesterday and she is ADORABLE! Lailah Rose is such a little doll.... Since my brother's wife has been really tired leading up to the delivery, her boys have been staying at my mom's and our houses (my brother lives 2.5 hours away from us). So we have been super busy with those little boys plus my busy girls.

I haven't had any time at all to work on any projects, so I thought I would share some pics from Brittyn's Birthday and some of the fun days we've had lately!

After cleaning up, we went outside to burn off some energy!! 

Our very tired looking family after the crazy day...

We took the girls and one of my nephews to West Edmonton Mall for some fun rides after they had to sit in the passport office for hours earlier that day, waiting to get our passports...

Such a brave little girl!!! 

So those are just a couple things that have kept us busy lately. Unfortunately, I don't think things are going to be slowing down at all for the rest of this month!! Now it's time to start gearing up for Bria's two birthday parties!! I'll hopefully be back soon with some projects!! :) Have an awesome day!! 

Princess In Training

HI!!!! It's been a long time! :) I decided to take a small breather from posting much this week since this past month was so crazy! My nephews have been here visiting as well so I have been enjoying time with all the kids and haven't done much crafting. I HAVE done some crafty shopping though... I was trying to make a haul video (my first video!!) last night but things were just not going my way... I can't find my tripod and the memory card in my camera decided to corrupt! Hopefully soon I can get a video of all my great findings for you guys!

It's Brittyn's very first birthday on the 9th so I made her up a card yesterday. Her birthday party is going to have a Baby Disney Princess theme.

I have only ever made a couple shape cards and I wanted to try one for the Peachy Keen Challenge this week. I got the card base from Birthday Bash. I embossed the cream layer with a dotted Cuttlebug folder. The Pink swirls in the background came from the Storybook cartridge. The cut was a square and I just glued it onto the cream circle and trimmed off the excess. The card base is misted with Pearl Glimmermist. In person it has such a beautiful shimmer to it. The baby was cut from Baby Steps, and her crown was from Once Upon A Princess. Her cute little face is from the Wide Eyed Kids set. I stamped her onesie with the medium dotted stamp by Peachy Keen. The scalloped oval for the sentiment was cut from Gypsy Wanderings and the 'Princess (in training)' was from a Scrappy Mom's set. The ribbon and bling are both from Michaels. 

I hope you like!!! Brittyn really is a little princess so this card really suits her!!

I have a couple other pieces of news to share!! :) A couple weeks ago my layout was randomly picked as the winner of the EAD Designs Color Challenge!! I cannot wait to go shopping in their store, they have the cutest stickers!!! 

I was also picked in the Top 5 for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday Challenge!!! I was soooo excited!! This is the first time I have been choosen based on talent, and not just a random pick!!! 

Anyways, I hope to get back into my craft room soon! My sister in law is due to have a little baby girl any day and I need to get her a card and a bag!! PLUS both of my girls have birthdays within the next few weeks that I need to get ready for!! Whew! I have a lot to do! Better get at it! :) Have a great day!!! 

Vintage Layout

Hello!! I thought I would post my layout that was on Pink By Design yesterday in case you didn't have a chance to get over there to check it out. 

There are a few ladies on in the PBD "family" who have totally inspired me to get a little more into vintage. The title, 'Brittyn' was cut from Alphalicious, inked and spritzed with a dusty rose glitter mist that I made. I used PearlEx and a little water in a little spritzer to give the title a pink sparkle. 

The butterflies were cut from Gypsy Wanderings and I used my gypsy to hide some of the details on the wings of the butterfly. I added some Recollections pearls and inked them with Tim Holtz distress ink. The ribbon is from Michaels, and I inked it also. 

The rose 'picture' was the Roses stamp (PBD) and I colored it with watercolor pencils. I then used a paintbrush to blend the colors. I used the same Vintage Photo ink to ink around the edges. I used a EAD stitches sticker along the bottom. The 'Moment in time' stamp is a combination of a sentiment from Timeless Pieces and Labels. I also used my Martha Stewart lace punch along the bottom of the cream layer. 

 I hope you like! Hoping I can make it into my craft room tonight, I have some birthday invites to get making!!!
