MY FIRST WORD BOOK!

I finally did it! After looking at and admiring sooooo many word books, I decided to attempt making one of my own.  My nephew had a baby girl and so I made this for his new addition. I haven't put it together yet, not sure to use rings or invest in a bind-it-all. The things I could do with a bind-it-all! Any suggestions?

I used SU dp from their mini catalogue "sending love". I love how sparkly it is! and the colors, well.....they're just awesome. Some of the svg's I used were collected off of the many sites out there. The fairies are from svgcuts.com "Flitting Fairies" kit and the flower is from the "3D flowers kit".  The butterflies are from SU, and I used my cuttlebug die cut for the little flowers. I embossed, inked, stickled and just had alot of fun making this! Thanks for dropping by and looking!

Monkeying around

Did you watch the Oscars the other night? Did you watch the tributes? Did you notice Farrah Fawcett was not even mentioned? I couldn't believe it! She deserved a tribute just like the rest of them. She shared her beauty and talent with us for years, even documenting her last days. Did you ever see her in the "Burning Bed"? Far cry from Charlie's Angels but she was good, real good in that movie. And the hair...she gave us all the hair! C'mon Oscar, get it together!

Okay...enough of my ranting. I'm done. No more will be said about it.

Today I'm sharing a page of my DH and DS who seem to always (and I mean always) be goofing around. These pics called for Dustin Pikes svg file All Monkeys. You will find it at http://www.doodledragonstudios.com/SVGPage1.html . I love, love, love this set! And they are so easy to piece together.  For the corner vines I copied in SCAL and welded together to give me the corner. The lettering was done with SCAL. Gotta love that program! Thanks for looking.

With Love......

A couple of pages I did at my scrapbookers club.  I love this new dp  from SU - Sending Love. Beautiful pages and lots of sparkles! I used the sizzlits die - Beary Lovely. We got to play with the new punch from the sale-a-bration "scallop trim border" as well as the corner punch to go with it. Didn't take me too long to get the hang of it. Thanks for looking!

Mojo 122

I'm still playing with my Cricut and new program Sure Cuts Alot which I absolutely loooovvvveee! I have been having so much fun. Now that Christmas has come and gone I have reverted back to my first love, scrapbooking. I am working on my first 8 x 8 album (I am a die hard 12 x 12 kinda person!) titled "ALL ABOUT ME." I know my kids will enjoy it for years to come. So....when I saw the Mojo challenge I knew exactly what I was going to make. One of my 8 x 8 pages!
The paper is all Stampin Up. I cut the frame, swirly, label and flower with my Cricut and scal program. Thanks for looking!

The nice weather is finally here! Man it's been a long haul! I don't know about you but the cold makes me kinda cranky. Not that I want to be, just I get sick of getting bundled up, warming up the car, freezing in the office (my desk is near a bunch of windows)...do I need to go on?

I haven't done much scrapping lately. I have been hooked on "Sure Cuts Alot". I researched, read forums and finally purchased it with the intent of getting right down to my scrapbooking. Well....I have been playing with my new software and before I know it, it's time for bed! Yikes! Have you checked it out. If not, go to http://www.craftedge.com/ and read all about it. Then...if you decide to purchase it you have to go to http://www.svgcuts.com/ to get your svg files! Go ahead, check it out! You won't be disappointed! And then let me know what you think!

Anyhoo....here are a couple of pages. They were done awhile back at my scrappers club. The cardstock, ink and ribbon is Tangerine from SU. Thanks for looking.

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know I did. We had family which is always nice. I had great intentions of doing alot of scrapbooking over the holidays. Tomorrow is Monday, back to work and I barely got anything done! Ugh! Need to win the lottery, quit work and CRAFT all day long!

Here are a couple of pages I did awhile back. The paper and a few of the punches are Creative Memories. Used SU scallop square and miscellaneous brads. Thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas to all!

Well, this will be my last post until after Christmas. Time to now focus on the food, drinks and family. It's a busy time for all of us. I FINALLY finished my baking (which took me forever because my DH and darling teens kept eating everything before I had a chance to freeze it!) Good to know they taste good!
We are spending Christmas with my in-laws (yes, I am looking forward to it!) and there will be a little toddler running around our house! I can't wait!
So to you all....MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY 2010 BRING YOU GOOD WILL AND HAPPINESS.
Thanks for looking!

Another page I did at my monthly scrapbook club. I love this club! Getting together with the ladies once a month, scrapping (hehe), and trying out all the Stampin Up products! I think I have enough stamps to last for, well, until the new catty comes out! lol. Thanks for looking!

Some more pages I did at my scrapbook club, two of my favorite pages.

Oh by the way....my daughter's gel nails are off!
