Pool Party Invites

My daughter's birthday is coming up and she wants a swimming party.  So, I created her invites!

I used Close To My Heart Stamp Set called Makin' Waves. Stamped the image and colored in the mask, his feet and beak. Then after it dried added Liquid Applique to the duck's body.

I also used some light blue pearl Stickles on the bubbles and Liquid Glass for the inside of the mask. Here is a better shot to so it!

I started out using a stamp and then hand-writing the invite info. But, since there was not enough room to fit all the info. I created my own version using MicroSoft Word. This one is one I will use on her scrapbook page(s) for her party.

I used a Fiskars Inter-changeable Border Punch, which I don't know the name of! Stamped the Splish Splash sentiment for the CTMH - Makin' Waves set.

I didn't make as fancy invites for her class. I did add the Stickles! Since, they would only hang a the fridge and then be thrown away! Here's a shot of those created!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here are the 3 cards I created for my 2 little monsters and the husband!

First, my oldest purple loving girl monster:

Next, my youngest always hungry boy monster:

My husband's card...Missing our trips to the city and I think he sometimes miss the view from above too! But not during this time of the year and high winds!

Logging....January's XOXO Scrapbooking DT Page

There's only two days left to get your page posted to have a chance to be next our next Guest Design Team Member!

This month's page Wendy gave us offers a great clean and simple layout that if you click on over to the blog...HERE. You can see how easy it can be changed up! There are some great takes on her original page!

Here is mine using three photos I had. My son has had a love of trucks since a baby. He got to experience having his Uncle and Poppy working on a logging truck in the yard one day.

I created my own woodgrain chipboard alphas using K&Company's freshpaint die-cut chipboard, Close To My Heart Weathered Backgrounds (wood grain) Stamp and Close To My Heart Cocoa Ink.

Using some scrap dark green and Martha Stewart's edge punch called Pine Forest created the bottom border. I had some wood grain embossed scraps from another project. After rounding the corners of each piece, edge distressing and inking with Cocoa I had some logs!

I found a image that looks a bit like a saw blade on my Cricut - Artbooking cartridge and cut out 2 layering them. Punched out a 3/4" black circle, punched the largest hole with my eyelet setter and used a Silver Metallic Sharpie to edge the center of the blade. Wrote NFLD (Newfoundland) and the date 8-11-2011 around the blade.

Here is Wendy's original page:

SO Jump over and check out the other lifts and get yours posted! I would love to see what you can create even if you do something after the January ends!!! Let me know in the comments, so I can see!!!

Feeding the Goat was a page page to do.

Here is My Page Lift

I am not thrilled with this page as far as wow factor goes! But I am so happy and proud of this page mainly because it was adding to my Christmas album! 

 BUT also because I used items I have had in my stash for a long while. Cut out and assembled some pieces and title using the Cricut. Hand stitched on three borders, used old CM Stickers (really creatively I might add), used a brad from my stash along with those cardstock printed embellishments from way back!

Here was the page we were given (found on http://lisadickinson.typepad.com/gettin_by/)
