Believe

Hello crafty friends. I hope 2011 has been treating y'all well so far. Today I actually have a project to share with you that I created. I actually got to sit down and craft, YAY! It is a LO I made with the Santa picture.

I had some items left from the December kit so I was excited to play with them. A lot of the items I used were from a Secret Santa exchange I played along with at Sketches4All. Well that is all I have today, my kids are all yelling at me so I need to go. LOL!

Happy Crafting!!

A LO from me?

I was actually able to craft a bit over the Thanksgiving weekend, it was great. Tony had both Thursday and Friday off and he wasn't stressed about having to get any homework done so I got crafty! LOL! I saw the design for this LO originally on Kristina Werner's blog. She does these Basic Inspiration classes over at Basic Grey and also posts them on her blog.
That is a picture of my pretty pretty princess, Isabel, at 6 months.

I used the Happy Together collection pack from Fancy Pants. I used one of the solid pieces of paper in the collection and used one of the transparencies. I really didn't know which adhesive or glue to use so I ended up using the Tombo Mono liquid glue and yeah, that didn't work. I thought it would dry clear but it didn't. You could totally see it through the transparency. So in the end I trimmed off the edges and adhered it to a Kraft 12x12 background. I used some silver brads from SU's HodgePodge hardware kit. The flowers are from Artfuldelight's November kit. I punched the butterflies out with my SU butterfly punch.


Be sure to check back tomorrow. I will have a LO to share with you that DT member Debbie created using Decembers monthly kit. Also tomorrow the kit will be available at Artfuldelight. You can get your hands on one for a single month price of $27.99 plus shipping. There are actually only 2 available already so make sure you get yours before it's too late.

I will leave you with a picture of my lil man Max, enjoying our pancake breakfast Sunday morning! :-) I can't believe he will be a year old in a week. Yikes, my baby is growing up!

Happy Crafting!!

OMG is it really Sunday already? Really where is the time going! I start school in 8 days, how crazy is that. Well I have been crafting away the past couple days, I have been able to craft almost everyday which is very rare. Today's project is going to be a LO. I originally saw this on Kristina's blog at kwernerdesign.com. I love her blog, so inspirational. She posted a video tutorial for Basic Grey. My LO had to be changed a bit from what she did because the picture I had was a landscape and not portrait. But otherwise I used the same general idea.



I am not sure if you noticed yet but I love Kraft. I use Kraft for my cards and also for my LO's. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey, Origins collection. I used my Cricut to cut out all the shapes the squares and the circle. The butterfly was punched out with my Stampin' UP! butterfly punch. The cardstock behind the pic is Close to Cocoa from Stampin' UP! The chipboard letters are from Basic Grey, Nook and Pantry collection. The paislee stamp is from Inkadinkadoo. One of my favorite stamp sets.

I hope y'all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Happy Crafting!!

Circle, circles and more circles

Happy Monday my crafty friends! Today I decided to make a LO. I have so many pictures to put in the scrapbooks, some days I just don't know where to start. LOL!

I used just a plain white 12x12 cardstock. I am not even sure where it came from. It was just in my stack of paper. The ginormous scallop and all the circles were cut with my Cricut. The pattern paper is from Pebbles Inc, Lil Buddy collection. The circles are cut from Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and some blue color I am not sure the name, all from Stampin' UP!

And there ya have it. It was quick and easy! Don't forget to enter my giveaways! They end July 31 at midnight EST. Now I think the post may have originally said July 30 and then somewhere else I posted July 31. My kids must have been yelling at me and confusing me when I was trying to type. LOL!
