ICE a Winters day walk
Created a layout the other day. I used up some really old product. Ki Memories Wonderland, WRMK Bohemia chipboard letters, and little brad hearts I think I got 8 years ago! Oh and an older Deja Vu rubon with older Basic Grey alphabet; I think that alphabet was from Jackson, one of their first lines. Feels great to 'use' up stuff!
The pictures are from January this year, it was very very cold out. The boys were eating ice pretty much the entire walk. A free frozen treat to boys I guess. lol
The layout was created for a challenge over at Sisterhood of Scrap, an online messageboard. They have great challenges posted each week. Perfect to help get that mojo going.
This Friday, the 8th, they have a big online crop starting, come by and join us! You have the week to play and I think there are prizes!!!
I've opened an Etsy Shop to help sell off some of all the crazy things I create. Stop by and take a peak! I have lots more stuff to load, just need some time!
My Etsy Shop
Leave a comment that you stopped by and I will do a random draw for a RAK! I will leave this open till the end of the day April 10th.
OIY, been a rough week. Spent the last week in quite a bit of pain and discomfort. And a 'mini' flare up. I don't think anything specifically set it off, maybe just stress. So I am back to my very plain and bland diet and quiet days at home. I have been resting and just trying to take it easy. I see the Doc on Friday and we will go from there I guess.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

So Pretty...
I have a new layout to share. It is Kimmee, my daughter. We did a photo shoot last summer. I love these photos of her.
The large corrugated shape is from Magenta, isn't it AWESOME!! Seriously, you need it! If your lss doesn't carry Magenta, tell them they should!!!
I traced a bit of it onto the blue paper to duplicate the wonderful design.
I love this layout, it is my current fav!

Pincushion Teacup
I had this idea to alter my Grandma's teacup for some time and I finally got around to doing it. I only had 1 teacup, no saucer, no friends, just one all by itself.
I never used it and never planned too, it just sat on the ledge in my scrapbook room.
To begin I used a large styrofoam ball from the dollar store and wrapped it in the yellow polka dot material - which I found at the second hand store. I find almost all my material at second hand stores.
Next I hot glued the fabric ball into the cup, then decorated with lace and ribbon. The white lace is also from the second hand store and the daisy ribbon is from Making Memories.
I added a flower and 2 antique buttons. In the buttons I put the sewing needles, and the pins all around.
I love it and think it looks so cute by my sewing machine. :)
I hope you find some time to be creative this week!

2 more scallop cards
Here are the last 2 scallop cards I created.
A cute little whale and hippo.
The set of all the animals is from Stampin Up, as well as the water colour pencils I used to colour them in. Forgot how much fun that could be. Had to dust them off, it had been so long since I used them.
Enjoy your day!

I stink you're sweet!!
Catchy title eh! lol
It is a cute little Stampin Up skunk image and sentiment. I used him on another scallop circle card I created. Isn't he the stinkiest!! If you look close, I used the puffy white snow stuff on his stripe. Hard to see in the picture, but it is cute!!
I also used October Afternoon papers, Bazzill cardstock, Snow Marker by Marvy Uchida
We have been pretty productive today, love that feeling! The kids did some cleaning, colouring, had a treasure hunt and then we had waffles. I made lots of extra waffles to freeze for a later date. They are sausage, potato and cheese waffles; yummy! Grandpa was here to mud the stairwell - we are renovating that area. And I took some photos of more projects to share.
If I feel up to it in a bit, we might make some caterpillars from the egg carton that is staring at me.
That's it for today, have a great one!

A New Look
I think I finally found a look I like!
What do you think?
I like yellow, but couldn't find a set with mainly yellow, then I found this set with clouds and that cute owl and I was sold.
Yes I bought this design. I bought it from The sweet Shoppe, you can find the link on the right. It came with step by step instructions on how to do it and it was only $6.00. I figured I could squeeze that into the paper budget! teehee.
It makes me happy, that is what matters.
On my desk right now I am working on a double page layout!
I know I don't do them often!
AND it is a birthday one!
I know! I don't do those either often enough!! lol
I got my motivation form the The Scrapping Nook, a site I joined just recently.
I was invited by my friend Dee many moons ago, but just got around to joining.
So far they are a lovely bunch of ladies, with some great motivation, challenges and inspiration. Come join us!
I haven't belonged to board in a very long time, it is kinda nice to be 'somewhere' to say hi and share this great craft again.
I will share that double page layout soon too.
Kids are still home this week, so time to myself is a bit limited. We made paper airplanes this morning and tried to see who could get it out the boys room the farthest. The boys bed are built into the wall, high up so they have the floor space to play. Jaxon did the best.
Here is a card I created over the weekend. I have been wanting to create scallop circle cards for awhile and finally got to it. And I used my water colour pencil crayons, forgot how much fun those are too!
October Afternoon papers, Bazzill cardstock, Stampin Up stamps, ink and watercolour pencils, Nestabilities. I hand cut the inner circles as I don't have the nestability circles - yet! lol

Sunday Morning
It is beautiful outside! The sun is shining, it is warm(ish) and glorious!
The boys are off to church - no I am not attending yet, but soon - then when they come home, they are packing up and heading down to the river for an afternoon of quading, wienie roasts and playing in the mud/water/rocks.
I won't be joining them, there are no bathrooms to be seen down there and right now that is important to me with Crohns and Colitis! No wholes in the ground, behind some bush for me! lol Sorry if that was too much information!
I shall stay home, organize a bit, possible sew and scrapbook.
My wonderful friend Jillian nominated me for stylish blogger award, thanks Jillian!
I am supposed to list 7 things about me, so here goes:
1. I have Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis - I am newly diagnosed so fumbling my way through these diseases and what they mean to me.
2. I love Survivor, Amazing Race and American Idol, watch them every week!
3. All 4 of my children are mine, even though they all have different hair colour, they all came from me. I get asked that alot. I have a blonde, very dark brown, orange and light brown haired children.
4. According to my friend Kari, I have 'freakishly' small feet! I can take a child's size 4. :)
5. Most people know, but I am addicted to paper crafting. I love playing with paper, glue and scissors.
6. Hubby and I met at a work BBQ and have been together ever since.
7. If I could only do one thing in life, it would be to cure diabetes for my daughter and the millions who live with it.
I am now supposed to link to 7 other bloggers, but my friends are terrible bloggers - Kari, Renee!! And everyone else has been awarded already.
This is my son, right after he pulled out his tooth!
Enjoy your day today!

Last Few.....
I created just a few more Grey and Yellow cards. And now all the supplies are packed up.
I pulled out my stash of October Afternoon and created a layout and 6 cards that are almost done.
Here are the last grey and yellow cards:
I made 4 of these little robot cards, great for a grab and go birthday boy card. Robots are Maya Road, paper is Crate Paper, Bazzill cardstock and strips, Stampin Up sentiment.
I used a bunch of my edge punches on this one and another one of those FAB Magenta stencils.
Bazzill cardstock, paper is Crate Paper, Magenta stencil, Stampin Up sentiment, Close to my heart ink, handmade ribbon flower.
This is the layout I did, need to add the journaling yet. It was my son's birthday and we had water balloons. I remember Kimmee daring me to get her, and so I did. I don't think she thought I could. ;)
I used almost all October Afternoon, except Maya Road chipboard alphabet, Bazzill cardstock, and Martha Stewart little heart and green journal block.
Thursday I went in for another round of Remicaid. The days before Thursday were bad days. Yesterday was okay and today is better. Tomorrow might be great, or......
I always feel better after Remicaid, but not forever. But must keep positive and just deal with what comes. I am so thankful things are not as bad as they could be. I am cooking every night, doing some cleaning and able to play in my scrapbook room. God is good and has blessed me with so much. I am thankful.
I hope you got out and enjoyed the sunshine today; that is of course if you saw it in your area. We did, it was a blessing, we haven't seen it much lately. Tomorrow is supposed to be another great sunny day.
Prayers going to Japan and to my husbands cousin. :(
