Celebrate the Occasion #18...

Hi everyone!  
I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #18 is up and it was a great one--4th of July *red, white and blue*!!

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!  I cannot wait to see what you create!
Who doesn't like the 4th of July?  It means summer is finally here (at least where I live), we celebrate our awesome country, you get to see fireworks, and eat yummy food!  My house seems to be pretty empty once all the Easter decorations come down so I figured it needed some fun 4th of July decorations!! 

This is just a 2x6 board cut to 12".  The striped paper is CTMH and the freedom words are cut from Opposites Attract cartridge and the stamped words are from CTMH stamp sets.  The firecracker was bought from the dollar store quite awhile ago.

Thanks for Celebrating the Occasion with us!

I am also entering this into the following challenges...

Want to see??

What I have been doing lately?

This adorable little guy was born on June 1st and would explain the lack of creating on my part...I am creating a nice growing family right now :).  I have gotten down to the craft room a few times and will post a few of those creations soon...as soon as they are finished!  Thanks for sticking around!!

Celebrating the Occasion Challenge #16

Hi everyone!  
I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #16 is up and it was a great one---Happy Birthday~must have a party hat!!  

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!  I cannot wait to see what you create!


Loved this challenge!  I had the Amusing Animals stamp set from Scrappy Mom's Stamp for quite some time and didn't know when I was going to get to use this particular sentiment.  I have a few friends having birthday's in July and one of them is a dog lover...figured what better way to wish her happy birthday than with a poodle card!  Hope she likes it!

The poodle is cut from Create a Critter at 3". I only used the 2 layers because I wanted to use my Peachy Keen Stamps for the face. Once again, the sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Stamp.

Happy Creating....

Welcome to the CTO Pool Party Blog Hop! 
I hope you are enjoying the hop and all the amazing projects we have for you and 
ALL the great candy being given away too!!!  


If you arrived from Kristen @ My Fantabulous Life you are in the right spot.
If you happened across my blog and want to start at the beginning of the hop...head on over to 
CTO BLOG so you do not miss a single project!!

Here is my project for the hop!  I was surprised at how easy this layout came together.  I have been struggling with inspiration, but still wanted to do a layout for this blog hop as I have SO many cards in my stash right now.   I pulled out my trusty Idea Books from CTMH and tried to find one I loved and put my own spin on it.  I love how it turned out.  Hope you do too.

Next on the hop stop is Nicole @ Creative Delights by Nicole

Now for the blog candy!

Play Ball....

Been in the scrapbooking mood lately and have had these pictures around forever.  Anthony has always been all about sports, even when he was little.  When we first got him this tee, bat and ball set he was in heaven.  He would hit the ball and instead of run, he would give me the thumbs up sign....so cute!

Baseball stuff cut from Boys will be Boys at 3".  Brads are from CTMH.

Thanks for stopping by!
