Going to the Chapel

Happy Friday...wait it's Saturday already. Those of you that know me know that I am great with deadlines!! Once I again i have come in just under the wire. This week has been insane to say the least. The big spring dance recital is Saturday and Sunday. Pictures, dress rehearsal and three performances in two days. AND a wedding!!! Hubby's good friend Bruce is getting married Saturday night at 7:00...I guess he didn't get the memo about the dance recital also taking place Saturday night at 7:00. Hubby will go to the wedding stag and the Lovely Miss H and I will show up after her recital. Tonight I made a wedding gift and card...see what I said about deadlines. I have been mulling ideas around in my head for a week now and tonight I carved them in stone so to speak. The wedding gift is made with a tile I purchased from Menard's and Cricut Vinyl. I used the Storybook cartridge and SCAL for the Jasmine font (that is one of the few cart I do not have). My SCAL program was being difficult and kept freezing up and had to be rebooted umpteen times.

The card is very simple. The "Love" stamp is from Dog Gone Stamps. It is actually a free one they sent with my purchase...I love surprises!! I picked up the paper at Joann's a couple weeks ago and I don't know who makes it. I love the deep embossing and the flocked flowers. I love black and white. So simple yet elegant.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Peace Love and Scrappiness!!!

Time Keeps on Slippin'

Its been a while since I have posted. April is affectionately known as "Hell Month" at our house. The Lovely Miss H has her spring dance recital this coming weekend. She has dance class 4 nights this week, three photo sessions, two dress rehearsals and three performances this week alone. Plus her kick line has their spring show coming up. Needless to say I haven't had much time to be crafty. I am currently working on a album/address book for my good friend Cory who is being deployed to Afghanistan in June. Please keep Cory in your prayers. We had a going away party for him two weeks ago. We had it early because his brother and a couple good friends left for Iraq last week. I took tons of pictures at the party and had everyone write down their address and a personal message for Cory, if they chose to do so. I am doing an 8X8 album with the pictures addresses and messages. I really struggle when scrapping something smaller than a 12X12. I will have to take a few pics of this project and get them posted. Then I will get started on Miss H's dance album. She's been dancing for 11 years now...think it's time to get started on that????

Peace Love and Scrappiness

Return to Pooh Corner

If memory serves me correctly...and I make no guarantees...I started blogging about a month ago. I had recently finished a project I had done on my goddaughter's bedroom wall. It was my first attempt at vinyl wall art. The picture I posted was not so great. I have a couple pictures that are better quality.

So much for sleeping in. Between my husband, my son, the two dogs and that cat it didn't happen. I am hoping I can get something crafty done today between loads of laundry. I bought SCAL three weeks ago, along with patterns from My Scrap Chick and still haven't gotten to play with those yet. Yesterday my new Cricut cartridge "Life's a Beach" arrived from Craft-e Corner and I haven't even taken it out of the mailing package yet. Also in the mail were the stamps that I ordered from Dog Gone Stamps. I am also waiting for my first set of 36 Copic markers. So many new goodies!! It's almost as good as Christmas!!

Peace Love and Scrappiness!!
