Pinterest inspired crafts...

 I am LOVING pinterest!  It is so fun to be able to remember where I put the ideas I am inspired by all over the blogosphere.  It has helped me actually do quite a few more crafts this year!  I made the cute little candy corn trees in the pictures and the little candies in the basket!  Love them both so much!!

Card club...

Here is the latest card club card I created.  We handed out paint chips and blue was my color...I think I got the blue theme down :).  

The stamps are CTMH and the paper is patterned paper from Bazzill Basics.

Scraps--Thanks...

I have lots to be thankful for recently.  I had foot surgery on my left foot 3 weeks ago and have had people take my kids, bring in meals and send me loving messages!  A few of the days I was laid up I decided to get my scrap box out and make a few thank you cards, it was fun to see what I could do with a scrap of paper, a few embellishments, stamps and ink. Most of my things stayed downstairs, just a few select made it up to my "bed", but it sure was fun to see what I could do with them!  I think they turned out cute...now to write in them :)!!

Announcing...

I cannot believe how fast the time has gone since I had my baby.  I am just now finishing up his birth announcements, but better late than never I suppose!  I LOVE how they turned out.  I had to do 2 color schemes since I ran out of the brown/red/blue combo and didn't want to go into the store again.  I like them both quite a bit though!

I used the Cuttin Up cartridge for the BOY and welded it together using my gypsy.  I also cut out the circle part of the O with my gypsy too and 'hid' the contour of the rest of the O.  The Sweet Baby stamps are from Scrappy Moms Stamp. The background paper on the red/brown/blue one is from CTMH.  The other paper is just from my stash!  Hope you like them!

Card Club Fun...

Here is the card I made for my monthly card club.  Our "theme" this month was masculine birthday.  

The Time 4 Fun is off of the Cuttin UP cartridge cut at 3" with the shadow feature.  I used the circle embossing folder with my cuttlebug and a DCWV paperpack.

You are my sunshine...

We are loving that the sunshine came out...we were beginning to wonder if we would have a summer here in Idaho, or just a spring.

This card was done for my monthly card club...the theme was to use yellow and orange.  

The sun is cut from Create a Critter and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamp set Amusing Animals.

I hope you are having a sunshinny day!!

Sing, sing a song....

Sing out loud, sing ALONG!!!

My little girls LOVE to sing.  So for an activity to do on our long summer days, I made up some cue cards for all the different songs we like to sing.  It is a work in progress as I think of new songs often, but its a good start!

A few examples from the picture above include...

5 little monkies

Bringing home a baby bumble bee

The wheels on the bus

5 little speckled frogs

How much is that doggy?
