Mother Daughter Layout
I was watching Shimelle Laine's YouTube videos and saw a layout I really liked. The post on her blog for the layout can be found HERE along with the YouTube video. I decided I wanted to attempt this layout and these are this is the result: I really love how it turned out! (Thanks Shimelle, had...
Well..
I haven't been on here FOR-EV-ER. Seriously. My time is consumed with work, work, and more work. That is my time. And if I'm not consumed with work, work and more work. I'm too tired to do anything. At all. I'm currently tackling 3 projects at once. A challenge layout with my cousin. A mini album challenge with my cousin. And finally, 2 sets of handmade Valentine gifts for my kids 4K class. 16 kids, a teacher, and the teacher aide. Times two. Except that, I'll be just making this for the teacher.. as a gift.. from both kids. And,... Continue reading

Wait.. did I use the typepad app? o_O
Boo, iphone screen that died on me..

hahaha! Well, you'll get it when I get yarn! lol. :D
Inspiration from the Younger Brother!
My younger brother, who is graduating from highschool in June, has been requesting me to make some birthday cards. So I ask him what he would like on the cards and once he starts to describe it to me, I tell him just to draw it out. Well my dear brother draws come pretty cute stuff, so I decided...
hahah. YES!
Tell him that if he draws me "stuff" then I'll trade him for a totoro "beanie" (?) (I forgot what he wanted for his bday.) Ha!
I won't finish it in time for his bday, but I'll finish it before I leaveee! :D

Rodeo 2011 Layout
I've been scrapping up a storm with 12x12 layouts! I wanted to scrap this picture and quote because it was just too adorable and I FINALLY did it! I put the wrong year on there but it can easily be fixed. =) Here's a close up so you can see the quote. Patterned paper used is by Anna ...
And I've missed this post too? haha. By the dates, I'm gonna assume it's because I've been at school, and hardly get online anymore.
I just wanted to comment on this post, although I've already seen this.. in person. haha! ;)
The Fam Bam
Just a little something I made for my mom a while back... a month ago? The images of flowers are from a Pink Paislee's Sweetness collection, resin flowers and pearls by Recollections, sating ribbon from the dollar store, sentiment stamp by Making Memories, and tray from wood section at Mich...

The felties are so cute!!
I'm not so good at making felties. haha!

OMG OMG OMG.. the scooter!!!
Where did you get it?! I MUST have it!
OMG OMG OMG!!
Ps That's a really cute card.. haha.
BUT OMMGGGG the scoooterrrr!!
My take!
This card was inspired by a card recently posted up by Kristina Werner. The post for the card can be found HERE. I watched the YouTube video of her making the video, which can also be found on her page, and several hours later I had an urge to make a card. I tried to do it by memory rather than...
2 months?
Has it really been 2 months since I've posted?! O_O Wow. I've been busy with school these past 3 1/2 weeks. I don't have time when I get home to craft - scrap or crochet. Which makes me kinda sad, because I really do miss it! Anyhoo, I've been working on a mini album for my cousin, Lindy. She apparently had started one for me, and finished it already. I have it, and still need to post up the pictures. Or actually, takes pictures of it. I'll probably do it tomorrow in class, lol. Hopefully, if I can pull an... Continue reading

hahahha! *crosses fingers* Let's hope! I need to get away and do some crafting!
I can't craft over here, when I get interrupted every 5 mins. Then I just forget what I'm doing. lol.
Don't worry...
... be happy! I know I know, I haven't posted in a long time! I have been super busy with school and work where sometimes I can't even find time to craft at all! Crazy, I know! But I did work on a last minute project in mid-February to complete 25 birthday invitations for my niece's first birthda...
I was like "OOOH a post!... Aww, no pictures" hahhaa.
Your excuse for no crafting is that you have school and work.
My excuse? Kids, sick kids, being sick, and crochet.
Darn that crochet.
Whenever I CAN come over, remind me to bring the binder/album for Danny's mom. I've been putting it off for so long now. I need to cut some stuff and finish it by the time she comes over for a visit in Aug/Sept. EEk.
I NEEED to find the Dear Lizzy collection! BOOOO.
Don't worry...

hahaha! I like how it seems that you're yelling, but then randomly whispered "awesome". ;P
Crochet Beanie.
I was browsing around on Etsy, looking at beanie's with earflaps. I wanted to purchase one for Trinity, but after seeing some prices ranging between $15 - $40. I opted to make my own. Without a pattern. With just being a beginner. The results? I first had Trinity picked her colors. Pink, green, ...
I actually did go back and used the white pen and did stitches.. super cute! hahaha.
I can do the beanie with bunny ears and flaps.. if you supply the yarn! haha. I would just need the main color(s), unless you don't want stripes, or if you do and don't want the colors I have: pink, green, purple, dark blue, blue, red, black, light brown.
Polka dots + Spring =
Do you like polka dots? I do. Do you like Spring? I sure do. So, I decided to put them together and create some Spring-themed cards. Here's a sneak peek. I'm even going to create a box to go with the cards.. well, maybe. :)
haha! I wanted to! But I didn't have brown polka dots paper! Boo... haha.

Without a pattern. With just being a beginner. The results? I first had Trinity picked her colors. Pink, green, and purple. I whipped out my I/5.5mm hook and went to work. :) After 5 hours, (3 hours last night, and 2 hours today) I finished. It's not perfect. I didn't write down the pattern as I went along. Boo. But, it's somewhat decent enough for my... Continue reading

Hey, Valentine.
I haven't been into anything crafty the past few days. So, I don't have much to post.. hardly anything. But, I did make two cards yesterday... or it'd be considered "Thursday" technically. These were taken with my iPhone, so sorry for the quality of the images. :) My cousin, not Lindy, asked me to make her a Valentine's card for her boyfriend, who is overseas in Japan. The last one I made her, apparently was too "girly" for her boyfriend's taste, so she wanted a "masculine" one. The problem is.. I don't know how to do "manly" cards. So, it... Continue reading

hahaha! The 14 cards a day was supposed to be like a little note everyday, kind of like a "One thing I love about you" on a small 3x3 card. Up until the actual day which would be a regular size card, with a summary of whatever. (I actually forgot what I was going to type! hahah!)
And yes! I was writing it and was like "Hmm.. people are going to think it's weird that I'm talking about a printer! It'll seem like it's my first time getting one! hahah! That means I can go through my 2005 photos and print them all out! LOL JK. I don't have a lot of pics, especially from your camera.. *hint hint* ;P
Post your layout already, woman!
First cards of 2011:
Well, I decided to go ahead and post up 2 cards today. They're nothing special. :) I wanted to "practice" on some Valentine's cards, because I was thinking of doing 14 cards a day til Valentine's for the hubby. But, decided that since, my birthday is on the 7th, I'd rather just skip a week, and ...
