Imagine That!

Hi everyone... You will have to check out a blog that I recently discovered... Imagine That! This blog was formerly known as "Everything Cricut". It is a very fun site!!
:o)

Happy!

I am HAPPY! I was asked to stay on the Kits2Remember Design Krew for another term (6 months). I was very excited that they wanted me to stay! Woo Hoo! So, this is the first project I did for this term. (seems appropriate, don't you think?)

I used a scrapbook kit from Storytellers Club. They have the cutest paper!! I just love it. They really do a great job on their kits.

The top piece is a 6x12" acrylic piece, of course from K2R. I absolutely love their acrylic. I think it is the best around. I used their new flourish stamps and clear embossing powder to emboss on the top and bottom edges of the acrylic. The bottom piece is a 8x12" metal panel, also from K2R. This is fun because you can use magents and put pictures on it!

Scrapbook Layouts

I finished a couple of layouts recently - finishing up the album for... (I hate to admit) 2005. I am SOOOO far behind. UGH! I will be going away at the end of May - so I am hoping to do some MAJOR scrapping. Think I can get all of 2006 done??? I always have great hopes...

Here is Christmas 2005...

And this is my cutie neice and newphew, Mariana and Ian.

Warm, Soft Blankets!

A couple of weeks ago some friends and I all got together and made some blankets. We had a blast! We ran to JoAnn's and had fun looking at all the fun fleece material. Everyone bought some... Then we came back home to put them all together. It worked out great. Everyone worked on each blanket - and we cranked them all out! It worked out so well! We cranked out 6 blankets that day!! You can see mom, Carla and Peggy working at tying...

It was a great day!!

School Pics

This is a small project that I made for my neice and newphew... I used acrylic and metal panels from Kits2Remember. I have to say - I really LOVE their acrylic!! It is the best. This project was made with a 4x4" acrylic and a 4x4" metal sheet. Of course, some pretty scrapbook paper... I found some cool buttons at Michaels, so I used them on the metal panel, so it kind of frames the picture. I made one for each kid, so they can put up their own picture... or maybe their friend from school. It was a fun project to do!!

I have been so busy lately... I really don't know where the time goes!! But I still manage to get into my craft room and play around a little. This is a frame I made for someone at work... Her daughter had her first baby. I made two - one for the daughter, and one for grandma! It came out really cute. I have to say - I LOVE making frames!!

What a Character!

I know that it has been a while... Just like everyone else I know, I have been busy, busy!! I swear I don't know where the time goes! Between work, home, kids, homework, baseball, tae kwondo, etc., etc..... Well, it doesn't leave a lot of time. But I did finish a layout! Woo Hoo! So, here it is...

My sister and her little girl, Mariana, had come down here - and of course we had to go to Disneyland! I hate to admit it... but I am SO far behind in my scrapping, so these pictures are actually from 2006! UGH! But I suppose, little by litte... right?

Trevor turns 12!!

My baby is growing up!! It is hard to believe that my youngest is turning 12!! I can't really call him my little one either - he is taller than me! He had a great birthday. He received his very first phone... It was so cool because he had NO clue that he was getting a phone. So, he was totally surprised!
Trevor requested ribs for his birthday dinner. He loves ribs... especially when my friend Carla makes them! To be honest, I think Trevor was a little disappointed that I would be making the ribs! :o) I did my best to make them just like Carla. I bought 6 - yes... six! - racks of baby back ribs. Trevor had at least 2.5 racks all to himself! Here is a picture of Malcolm, Trevor in the middle, and Kevin (Trevor's good friend) just munching away!

But this picture - by far - is my favorite picture!! You just have to LOVE that face! I think he liked the ribs! hehehe

Happy Birthday baby!

Luck of the Irish!

I love making garlands. They are so much fun to male... and of course, fun to display! And I love that when you are done, they are nice and easy to fld up and store! I had not made one yet for March - so I took advantage of my nice rainy weekend and made this:

The covers are made with chipboard. The paper is by Best Creation Inc. LOVE their paper!

And of course, used fun embellishments such as brads, crystals, punches, flowers, buttons, etc.Hope you enjoyed!!

Wall Hanging

I wanted to make something that I could change out each month, season, event, etc. I had a hard time deciding what to put on the top piece, since it needs to go with every color, every design, etc. I finally decided on a paper piecing of a bear. Ididn't think that I'd be done in time for Valentine's Day... so I started with March - St. Patrick's Day. Now that March is done, I might try to do Valentine's Day after all - because obviously, I did have time!! :o)

I plan on making panels for each holiday (Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., etc) as well as events such as birthday, back to school, beach/summer, winter, etc., etc.
