It's Been Awhile!

While there's always excuses, reasons, procrastination that come with not posting 

on here in a long time! 

I do have to say Life Happens! 

I have still been scrapbooking and making cards, just not have been good at taking the pictures and updating like I used to!

I have been attending two retreats a year, which is where most of my scrapbooking has been getting done.

I participate in the card swaps at the retreats also.

Just recently, joined back up with Close To My Heart!

That being said, I am hoping to get back into posting on my blog more often!

So, if your still following me thanks for sticking around!

Baby Shower Card

Baby Shower Card I created using faux rose petals, a butterfly embellishment, 3 stamps and inks.

Card Kit finally completed!

I can't remember when I got this card kit promo from Close To My Heart, but I finally pulled it out and finished all the 8 card designs provided.

I just did a search and found out it was September 2009 promo!!!!

I got into my scraproom and pulled this kit out and over the week got to finish all of them here and there!

The 1st day 

• I went through the designs and cut all my papers so they were ready to go with each card design.
• Inked up all the edges that I wanted to based on design and my flair choices, even did some card bases too!

Time to get the kids from the bus!

The 2nd day

• I had some extra time today. So I got in the scraproom and stamped out all the images and sayings.

The next day (3rd day)

I missed out on the following day consecatively! So, the 3rd day in the scraproom! 

• I started assembling my cards. Got two completely finished)

Kiddos off bus and off to scheduled lessons and practices!

Here are my cards:

Happy New Year!

Well it has been a long time since I have posted....

There has been a lot going on!

I have been scrapbooking and making cards still, just not as often as I would like!

I just came across a blog entry that made me think about my goals for the coming year as far as my crafting ventures go! Here is the link: what-are-your-2016-scrapbooking-goals  I like the goals she listed.

One of my basic and biggest problems is my space has been in transition for the past year. I have only been scrapbooking really at retreats and/or crops. Cards I can get to easier and quicker. So, my 1st goal this year is to get all my supplies organized into my scraproom. Since this is a big task in itself...I am going to start with this one goal and hopefully get to those goals listed in the post above either along the way or as soon as goal #1 is achieved!

So, do you have any goals you have set?
I am always surprised and excited to hear goals and achievements...It pushes me to step it up or get moving!  

End of Summer Two-Pager!

Well, I haven't touched my scrapbooking since the last retreat I attended back in March!!
Our end of the school year was crazy busy. We have been moving kid's rooms around too! So, my space has been over-run with extra things in the long process.

Anyway, before school starts up...

Over on XOXO Scrapbooking we wanted to get a bit of Summer in!

Teacher Gifts

The year of year gift I found on pinterest.....Here is what my kiddos gave their teacher's!

I found this cute gift idea for teacher's gift and it came with a tag you can download!

Here is the link to my pin. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/247838785720920850/

Here is the original blog post: i-have-to-ad-mitt-youre-sweet-teacher 

For the kiddos swimming instructor I created this little postcard style/gift card holder.

Emma would play a game with the kids at the end of lessons. Asked them if the liked certain foods. Changing it up once in a while and letting them call out the food before they jumped in the pool. 

So, the kiddos like the idea of asking Emma "Do you like Tim's?"

Off the enjoy the summer!
