Brittyn's 1st Pig Tails! :)

Happy Monday everyone!! This weekend I went a little layout crazy! It just dawned on me that Baby #3 is going to be here in 4 1/2 months already, and I am soooo behind on the girls' scrapbooks. I really wish I could get them all up to date, but I know realistically that's probably not going to happen... My goal is to work on getting Brittyn's scrapbook caught up to the point that Bria's is at. Even this could be a stretch, but here I go!! :)

I used the sketch over at Pretty Little Studio as inspiration for this layout of the first pig tails I ever put in Brittyn's hair. I think she was about 7 months old, and if you follow my blog you'll know she had a HEAD of hair when she was born! :) 

I've had the Cherry Limeade DCWV stack for a long time now, and I think this is probably the first time I've used it! Love this color combination! 

I picked these pretty flowers up the last time we were in the states... Aren't they pretty?!

Of course, no layout would be complete without a PBD sentiment! 

Here is everything I used...

- The Cherry Limeade stack by DCWV

- Maya Road pink flower

- Notebook Paper background stamp by Pink By Design

- sentiment is from Sweet Baby stamp set by Pink By Design

- Twine from The Twinery

- lace, button, tulle and pearls from stash

Annnnd that's it! Wish me luck in the challenge I am entering this into! Winner receives a $10 GC to Pretty Little Studio - which I could totally use!! :) Speaking of Pretty Little Studio... I have another layout using all their products to show you this week! 

Princess, It's Your Day

Welcome Friends!!! I have something girly girl to show you today!! Bria got to go to her very first Birthday party the other day... She has been to her cousin's parties, but she was younger and she didn't even really know what was going on! LOL! This party was for two of her little friends from her Playschool class AND it was a princess party! She wore her fancy Belle dress and had her hair all pretty... We were there for about 5 minutes before she started acting really funny and ended up getting sick at the party and we had to go home. :( I think I might throw her her own Princess Party this year. :) Even though what she REALLY wants (she tells us) is a Sleepover Party with her boyfriend Caleb... YIKES!!! Yes, it starts at 3 years old apparently!! 

These are the cards I made for the two Birthday Princesses.  

Aren't they cute? I used my last doilies on these cards!! Guess I'll have to make a trip to the Dollarstore because apparently I use them a lot!! 

Here is everything I used for this card...

- Once Upon A Princess Cricut Cart for the crown (which I also misted with my homemade glimmer mist)

- Momenta paper

- heart shaped rhinestones from the Dollarstore

- ribbon from Michaels

- sentiment is from Inner Princess from Pink By Design

- sewing machine

Hope you liked my card today!! I'm going to link it up over at Pink Cricut!! Make sure to head over there to see all the awesome projects other people have linked!! Great inspiration source!!! 

Stop by again soon!! :) 

Teacher Appreciation

Are you loving stopping back in here on a regular basis?? :) I suuuuure love having you!! I have a couple more cards to show you over the next couple of days, then I really hope to get working on some layouts!!! I'm really behind in my girls' scrapbooks, and with another baby coming I think I'm getting in a little too deep!! :) Can you imagine the crafty shock I'm going to have if this baby is a boy?! I've always been so used to making such GIRLY projects!!! I guess we'll see... ;)

My card today is for a teacher... And of course I used the print and cut feature and my cameo. Love, love, LOVE this!!! Makes things sooo much quicker!! I tried to make a video to show you all how to use this feature, but it bombed so maybe I'll try another one next time... 

I have also been looooving my sewing machine these days!! I've really gotten onto using it and now it gets used in almost every project! 

This card has a lot of dimension which is one of my favorite things about it!! 

Here's my 'ingredients'...

- Momenta paper

- chalkboard graphic from Lettering Delights

- 'Our Teachers' stamp set by Pink By Design

- white embossing powder

- sewing machine

- EK Success Notebook border punch

- doodles with white gelly roll pen

Make sure you come back again soon!! I still have so many projects to share with you!!! And think of me today while I am out planting trees in our yard, while it rains!! :) Should be fun!! 

Dad, You're Stasche-tastic!!

Hi! Hi!! Today I have a cool bag and card set I want to show you!! I wanted to keep this design super simple...

How neat is this?!

I used black detail embossing powder (more fine than normal powder) and the stamped images turned out AWESOME!!! 

Here's everything I used...

- 'Dad' is from the Our Fathers set by Pink By Design

- the mustache and sentiment are from Mustaches also by Pink By Design

- black detail embossing powder

- gift bag & tissue paper

I am entering this card into the new challenge over at Scrappy Mom's. I'm so excited since I haven't had time to enter anything in a challenge for what feels like FOREVER!! 

That's it!!! Like I said, pretty simple!!! :) Sometimes it's nice to keep things clean and simple! I also made this exact card/bag set and changed 'Dad' to 'Grandpa'. 

Hope to see you back here again soon!!! :) 

Smile, It's Your Birthday....

Hey Everyone!! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you stopping in here! :) I'm sooooo happy to be back to my crafty self, and have really missed being in contact with all of you!! 

Today is my day to post over at the Pink By Design Blog!! I don't want to give my project away though... You'll have to head over there to check it out in full!

Here is what I used to make this card...

- Take the Cake stamp set by Pink By Design

- Chevron background stamp by Pink By Design

- black Ditto glimmer spray

- Black Soot Distress Ink

- Glossy Accents

- Graphic from Fur-Ever Friends, Lettering Delights

Make sure to head over to the Pink By Design blog and let me know you stopped!!!! :) 

Happy Birthday, Lil Bucaneer!!

So glad you decided to stop by today!! :) I have a super cute card and bag set I made for my nephew that I am really excited to share!! 

I am in looooooove with the print and cut feature on my Cameo!!! I just don't have time these days to cut out a million little pieces and put them all together. When I think about it, I actually just avoid crafting... That's why when I finally sat down and figured out print/cut I was on cloud 9!! Sooooo much quicker!! 

The background of this card was torn by hand, then inked using Distress Ink to give it a "treasure map" type of feel. Using the same ink I made the print outs a little "dirty" looking by inking the edges as well.  I also used Matte Accents to make the bottom of the ship look like wood. Love how it turned out!! 

Here is what I used...

- All Around sentiment stamps and circle die from My Creative Time

- pirate graphics from Lettering Delights

- Script background stamp by Pink By Design

- Recollections brads

I hope you love my project today!! :) I was super happy with how it turned out!! Make sure you come  back tomorrow for a peek at my project for the Pink By Design blog!!!
