A blog award...

Thanks to JoAnn from JLopez Designs for this award!  Its fun to get them in blog land!  I wonder if anyone reads/checks my blog so its nice.

1. I have 3 kids and 1 due in a MONTH!!!
2. I love the color green and frogs.
3. I've never dyed my hair...its all natural!
4. I am really excited to buy a pair of RED shoes for a wedding coming up in July.
5. I love camping, four-wheeling and fishing.
6. I love watching my oldest wrestle.  He is only 5 1/2 but he is GOOD :)!!
7. I'm addicted to adding things to my WANT list...hope I can purchase some soon!

For this one you have to first thank the person who gave it to you.  Next you have to tell 7 things about yourself.  Then you pass it along to 15 other bloggers. The problem with that is that just about every blog I looked/look at already has it...so if you haven't gotten it yet and I missed you...sorry!  So many talented people out there!!

Be impressed :)....

 Wow, I got a card and a layout done on the same day!  Are you impressed?

You should be :)....I am!!!

 The above card is for my Mom for Mother's Day.  I had 3 brothers and my husband who served 2-year LDS mission in Russia so the little doll holds a special place in all our hearts.  

I have wanted to do something fun with it since I got the Paisley cartridge so this is the occasion!  

I love how it turned out.

Peachy Keen Stamps--Let's Face it Friday challenge

Cricut Cardz Challenge--Mother's Day 

I have said it before and I will say it again, but I love when I can do a layout for a challenge.  These pictures were taken so randomly and I just love the way they turned out.  We had to sell our bunnies and I was so sad, we are trying to figure out how we can get some more!!

The Russian Doll is cut at 4.5" from the Paisley cartridge.

The bunny is cut from Just Because Cards and the flourish is from Gypsy Wanderings cut at 4".

Celebrate The Occasion #10...

Hi everyone!  

I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #10 is up and it was a great one---Birthday with a sketch!  

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!

 

This sketch provided so much inspiration for me, I couldn't decide which way to go.  I actually made 3 cards with different things and decided I liked this one best.  Still not sure, but oh well, here it is!

I used the Accent Essential cartridge for the shape and Christmas cartridge for the Happy.  The button is from CTMH and the rick rac and paper is from my stash.

Fishing...

 

I love when I can take challenges and use them to create scrapbook layouts.  I need to do that a lot more and do a few less cards...although, I use the cards too...so what do you do??  I loves these pictures of my Dad with Anthony.  He just loves his Grandpa and you can tell Grandpa enjoys having grandboys around!

The fish is from simply charmed, the river is from Plantin' schoolbook and the trees are from stretch your imagination.

Die Cuttin Divas is having a 2 cuts, 2 cartridges challenge

and 

Flaunt it Fridays is having a simply charmed fish challenge

Welcome Baby...

I have a few nieces coming my way this summer so I thought I'd get a jump on things and get their card done.  I love how it turned out and it is the first time I've used this baby cut.  It is from Stretch Your Imagination.

Scrappy Moms Stamps is having a New Arrival Challenge.

I cut the baby at 3.5" from the Stretch Your Immagination cartridge.

The pattern paper is some from my stash and the flower in her hair is CTMH.

Enjoy!!

The force is strong...

I had to take a break from paper crafting to do some sewing...

The force is strong at our house lately.  My oldest is really into Star Wars and so I thought I'd make him some Star Wars cloaks.  I had to make sure I made one for his friend that also loves Star Wars when he comes to the house and plays, so we have 2 of each color.  Apparently, it is more fun being the bad guy because they have A LOT more interest in the black ones than the brown ones.

I love my kids!!!
