A Pretty!



Ok a card I created using some yummy embossed Heidi Grace paper, rinestones, sequins paper punches and cardstock. The vase is my own design and the branch comes out so it will fit into an envelope! Just had a little fun playing with paper!

Caught Up

Now with my layouts for the Big Picture class Product Playground. Having so much fun! This past week was? Can you guess? Hmmmmm? I know your stumped, LOL. Buttons these are some awesome Autumn Leaves buttons I got from Croppers Cottage. The red/ivory/black combo of course I only used red ones. I have to say I still have tons left even after this!


Emily is still a bit sick today but she is eating and is wanting to play more so she's getting better thank goodness. Abbi went to school today she was so excited to get to see her friends again! Trying a new recipe tonight it's in the crockpot now. Chicken/BBQ sauce/Cranberries sounds yummy and Em picked the veggie to go with it! Yum-O. Dave got a call back on his interview from this week he's so excited! And the snow is melting so that means soon we'll find his keys, we hope! HA Yup they've been in the snow since our last big snowstorm!
Okie dokie time to play with the kiddos!

Just a Little More Eye Candy



I know I know 2 posts in one day! Unheard of!




Ok so this I made for my DT spotlight at the Cottage but never got around to photographing it! I SUCK! Finally got the pics done! It's Christmas I know but that flower is too stinkin cool not to share!


Then I finally photographed the 3D project from this months Stamp class! It's cute right? I found the instructions over at Splitcoast! I'm loving it anyway I think I might do some of these for a party!

Sick Sick Sick

And tired of sick! The girls have had the flu one since Friday the other Sunday! I was sure they would wake up this morning and be completely back to themselves. But nooooo what I got was one with a RAGING fever and the other dancing around her saying "I'm not sick I'm not sick!" unfortunately that was the preschooler and she doesn't have school on Wednesdays anyway! ARGGGHHHHH! So a call to the Dr. and they don't want to see her unless she still has it Friday since this is a 7day flu! Ok Ok but come on except for last night(Dianne spirited me away to Michaels where I used a 50% off coupon on CRAYONS Crayola that's right I'm pitiful!)I've been stuck in this house since Saturday! I've cancelled/postponed class after class I'm supposed to be teaching! I'm ready to be done with this. To top it off it's starting to get really nice outside! Ok so I'm done complaining now about my motherly duties! The upside to all of this is that I can make them take a nap(yes they're sleeping) since I have the excuse that the Dr. wants them to nap! Well they say rest but the Mommy translation is NAP!


Anyhoo being stuck in the house had it's upside I've scrapped or stamped a lot so here is a little somthing for your viewing pleasure! The second layout from my Big Picture class! Subject Frames and photo corners! I'm going to really work on this area I didn't really step outside the box and I kinda think that is the point! Oh well I get to scrap again and claim it's homework! HA


Finally Switched

To the new blogger. Which literally translated means I found the safe place I've been keeping my password for blogger(it was really safe even from me!) Then I changed it since blogger wouldn't let me log in without changing to the new one! HA!





Well I'm here again thank goodness! I've been busy scrapping! Last week was my upload for the Cottage our sponsor was Prima! Loving their paper lines! The flowers I've always loved but with the papers they are amazing! In the Baby layout I used mirrors for the centers of some of the circles! Love those little mirrors I've been dying to use them!



Then there's the Big Picture Class Dianne and I are taking Product Playground taught by Lisa Damrosch. I'm having fun focusing majorly on a supply! This was from the first week! Isn't she cute? She cracks me up when she poses for the camera! Can you guess the supply? Ummmmmm Bookplates! I have tons and usually only use one on a page!

So I hope everyone is taking advantage of the stuck inside cold! And being creative? I know I am I have lots of stuff to share! And the new blogger will be fun learning!

Ahhhh Ok so much to cover






First off Jan is over Phew! I somehow in my mind thought Feb would be warmer! I was OHHH so wrong!

I officially started as a reporter for our PTA newsletter got to interview the Art teacher and take photos of the Art around the school! Way FUN! This month is the School Nurse! Just having a good time reporting on what's happening in school!

Now I need to write my report on FLAT OLIVIA! I'm afraid Aunt Marnie wasn't quite as fun with Flat Olivia as other people that had her. She was basically one of the kids here except she got to stay up way later than the other kids and she didn't have to go to school during the day or take tests etc. etc. She did get to go bowling with us where she kept score. She also ran into 3D Oliva or as she likes to be called "OLIVIA LIVE". They bowled a frame or two together! Then Flat Olivia had other places to get to! So she was off to dinner out at Joe's Crabshack, she likes the crablegs! There she has lots of friends she is such a regular she knew the waitor and the Fisherman and even the Fish was happy to see her! After that she had to run off to the Party Store as she's planning a big SHINDIG going away party for herself inviting all her newfound BFF's to "MY" house. Then because she didn't want to seem frivolous and to prove she had substance she headed to the bookstore where she picked up a couple of books and I think I saw her slip a Nick Jr. and Teen People mag into her stack before checkout! Later she inpected the castle tent where she's planning on putting the psychic she's invited to her BASH. Ok more on Flat Olivias adventures later. I'm going to upload some pics but I have to get the rest off the little camera!
