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!!

Winner and a Giveaway

My internet was down from yesterday about 6pm until this morning until 9am, so I am a little late getting this posted.

We have a winner of November's sketch challenge. First I would like to thank my DT for getting the word out about the challenge. I had several extra entries this month and they were ALL FABULOUS. I am so thankful I use random.org to pick the winner otherwise everyone would be getting the monthly kit. LOL!

Everyone that entered created fabulous cards and LO's. But random.org has chosen the winner and that is:

Isay

Isn't that LO fabulous! Thank you to everyone that entered. I will have the new sketch posted on December 1 and I hope everyone plays along again!

Other news if I have some giveaways. That's right I said SOME. I am not sure how many yet but basically it is a combo between a de-stash my stash and just a bunch of stuff I have. I have a stack of stuff to giveaway, lots of pattern paper, some stamps and just a bunch of stuff. The winners will just receive a box filled with goodies. I may take a pic of just the large stack of stuff and post it but that won't totally be accurate because it will be divided up between a couple winners.

With that said, leave a comment to enter the giveaway. Just for fun in the comment, let me know some traditions you do during the holiday seasons. It's not required but if you would like to, please become a follower and/or spread the word on your blog. That's it! This giveaway will end on Dec 17th at midnight EST.

Happy Sunday

Hello my friends. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. I also hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend.

My oldest daughter came home from her dad's yesterday. It was quite a day. My youngest daughter, Isabel (she is 2 1/2) woke up pointing to her belly saying "boo boo". I didn't know if maybe she was hungry and mistaken the growling for pain. Well within about 15 min of being up she got sick. Tony was already on his way to work so I was a bit stuck. She seemed ok after getting sick so we made our way to the airport.

The trip is about an hour to Dulles, then making our way through the airport, she seemed perfectly fine. It wasn't until the ride home before she started complaining again. Half way home she started throwing up. Poor lil girl, I felt so bad for her. Now we live in Virginia and the way we took home was going up and down through the mountains so I am wondering if she just got car sick. Both kids (Isabel and lil Tony) were complaining the whole way home. It was a long morning. Anyways, she must have been ok because she didn't get sick the rest of the day and kept her food down. Hopefully tomorrow will be ok. I won't be able to handle if everyone gets the flu. :-(
Here is a picture of my pretty pretty princess. She looks ok there but in about an hour she is not doing so well. :-(So today I have 2 projects to share with you that DT member April made using Artfuldelights November Monthly kit.


The first one is a Blessings Journal and the second one is a Thanksgiving Mini Album. They are both fabulous projects, but I really love the second one. For details on these projects please visit April's blog.

Be sure to check out the sale that is going on over at Artfuldelight, select items are 40% off. Also there is only one November kit left so if you haven't gotten your kit yet, be sure to do so before they are all gone.

Tomorrow I will showcase the winner of the November sketch challenge. I hope everyone has a fabulous Sunday!

Happy Crafting!!
