Baby Girl



Here is my baby girl card, I used all of the same punches as the baby boy minus the duck punch. Isn't she sweet! personally I like the baby boy better.


Today I had to take my baby puppy (6 months old) to the pet hostpital, we don't really know what is wrong with her, she hasn't eaten for a couple days, but we thought that she didn't like her food, our older dog did that as a pup also. But today Dixie was lethargic and wouldn't move when called, when usually she would bound over to say hi! I really mean bound, she is a german shepard, and a real sweetie. So hopefully she gets better quickly. Here is a picture of Snoopi and Dixie, they have become real pals, play fighting lots. Why is it that a dog that is half the size of another thinks that she can take the bigger dog? It is very funny to watch them interact.


My kids on the other hand feel fine the two younger ones were 100% back to normal today.
Happy Scrappin'

Mondays : (

I really don't like mondays, I usually feel bogged down with what I need to do that week. Today is no different although the start of my week begins with my younger two being sick. Doesn't Riley look so sweet, he has been sleeping all morning on the couch while Danielle watches tv.

So I won't be leaving the house today to say the least. I did have a VBS meeting that I will have to cancel now as well. Oh well hopefully I can get all of my cleaning done today and do the rest during the week.



Last nite I made my thank you cards for my Stamp club ladies and as I was doing that I noticed that my scalloped circle that I had sitting there with another hole in it looked just like a bib. So I thought I would make a card using punches only. So here it is.

I used the 3" scalloped circle, and the 2.5" circle punch for the face and bib. Then I used the 3/4" punch and the 1/2" circle punches for the soother. 1/4" circle punch for the eyes. The 1/2" circle punch was also used for the ears. The hair was a tuft of grass from paper shapers. The duck I believe is paper shapers as well. Other than the patterened paper all cardstock is SU. I sponged some color with chalks for the cheeks and shading around the face. Isn't he sweet. Watch out for the baby girl, I will post her tommorrow!

Happy Scrappin,
Carrie

Inventory of Stamps

I decorated this SU art journal so that I could keep track of which stamp sets that I have. So that when I am scrapbooking I can just look through it to see if I have anything that would work on my pages, rather than going through each package. How does everyone else keep track of their sets? I would love to hear some new ideas.



I used all SU products except the scalloped punch and the circle punch. Doodle this is one of my favorite stamp sets right now. I still have lots of sets to put into my book, I have gotten all of my flower sets into it.




Our house is located on the mountain, just above a popular walking trail. As I was preparing this post I heard sirens, and they started coming up our driveway and stopped at the entrance of the trail. We have had various things happen at the trail, such as stolen vehicles dropped off there, once they even torched a truck, just after I left to run some errands (I saw them there and thought nothing of it) When I came back home a policeman was there and the truck was torched. I could give a description of the getaway vehicle (I guess that was what the other vehicle was doing there) I wish I would have taken a plate # down. Anyways, today an elderly gentleman with altzeimers went for a walk or something and fell down a short embankment. He slept there all night when finally someone's dogs had found him, so the owner of the dogs called 911. He's okay, maybe a sprained ankle or something, I couldn't imagine sleeping outside all nite in the woods wondering if anyone will find me. There has been cougar tracks spotted in our area too, I think that I would go crazy in fear.

I guess I should try to get something done this morning. Have a great day!

Smiley Riley

These are scrapbook pages that I did at a M.O.M.S scrap and craft this month. I got the layout out of the "blueprint" book. The background paper is from Autumn leaves. The cardstock and the ribbon is SU, the star brads are Deja Views.

Doesn't Riley look sweet in these pictures. He is all boy!!
I could spend all day scrapbooking pictures of the kids, but cooking and cleaning get in the way. Oh well! I will do it when I can.
Have a great weekend!

A little of me

Here are a couple cards that I did last nite.



This one is using Fishy Friends. I love the colors of the spring mini DS paper Petals and Paisleys. I colored in the fish with SU markers to match the patterned paper. I can't wait until I can give this card away. I really enjoy using the 3" scalloped circle punch, many of my cards I have incorporated it into. I will have to collect the other sizes as well.





This card I used up some leftover birthday page stickers and paper from Doodlebug Designs. My DH likes this card better than my fishy card. It is a pretty simple card, not much to it but I think know that a little boy whose birthday is coming up soon will love it!















I am a scrapbooker more than a card maker so you will probably see more of my scrapbook pages than my cards. This page is using SU DS paper petals and paisleys again! I used the sizzix to make the letters, then put Crystal Effects to give them a raised effect. The flowers are Heidi Swap and Bazzil wings the ribbon is SU gingham light pink.
Well that's all for now, I'll try to post regularly, if life doesn't get in the way!

Here I go

I am going to try this blogging thing that everyone is talking about. Yes, if my friends jumped off of a cliff I probably would follow just to see what it was all about!!!
I have been inspired by so many creative ladies through blogs that I felt the need to share what I have learned and hopefully inspire others.

I will post some pictures of some of the fun things that I have been creating.
