:: A couple of Christmas items ::

My little one is crazy about The Polar Express. I wanted their Santa plate to tie into the movie so I went with a jingle bell. I also didn't care for such a flat bow so I opted to use a ribbon bow. The ornament I made for my mom for Christmas.

My Turkey Quilt

~~ What I've been up to~~

I have ALWAYS wanted to make quilts. I've tried numerous times and just never really got the hang of it. Then I found rag quilts. I've made 3 so far. I love making them!! I made the Santa one first and then I decided to make all the boys one for Christmas. The Pooh one is for my baby, the purple one was for my mom's bday - she LOVES purple and then I've still got 3 more to make! and then 1 for my nephew and 1 for my Mr. - I wonder if I can make all that happen before Christmas? Here are the ones I've made so far - oh and a stocking I made! It was too thin for practical Santa purposes so I've decided to add Santa's name and hang it on the tree for letters to Santa!

~~ Plexiglass sign~~

Last year I made a cute sign with the same saying - out of paper. I loved it but it is paper and won't last forever. This year I decided to use vinyl and plexiglass. I like this one much better! I love fall and will hopefully have much more to share soon!

~~~*~~~ Shirts for the little boys ~~~*~~~

I used my cricut to make these and I think they turned out very cute!

Father's Day Card

Stampin' Up! Countryside stamp - Father's Day card

..::Rain Boots::..

I decided to decorate a pair of boots I was going to turn into a flower planter - now I'm not sure if I want to do that or save them for Tobias! I think they turned out cute. The frog is a pattern from www.myscrapchick.com and it's the Rainy Frog I believe is his name. He's so cute! I used oracal 651 vinyl. I am debating taking the Puddle Jumper off and doing it in the same blue that's on the umbrella...it's a little hard to see.

Anniversary card and birthday card

I'm pretty pleased with these - they seem kind of plain because they are "boy" cards but I did the best  I could last minute because well ...I just can't do anything unless I stress myself out with time first lol!

The little boy and girl card was made with a digi stamp - when I get back to my other puter I'll post a link to where it came from...and the truck is a stampin' up! stamp from the Countryside set. I LOVE it! I will be making a few more cards with this stamp in the very near future - like the day before father's day lol!

Hope all is going well and everyone has a great summer!

~Couple more shirts I made~

One is for my nephew and one is for my sons friend. I think they turned out great!

..::My Newest Obsession::..

I love love love making tshirts...I am surely obsessed! Nothing makes me more excited than a new idea and my little boys don't mind wearing my experiments so it's win win! For the next few days I will be sharing a ton of stuff I've made over the past month(ish) - still scrapping but feeding other obsessions too! Here is a photo of a few shirts I've made most recently. Will share more tomorrow!!

..::Takoda Lee Turns 1::..

I really like the way this layout turned out. It's so clean and I am super excited about the number of photos I was able to include! I got the storyboards from Kerri Bradford Studio and put them together super fast in photo shop. I will be using this technique A LOT more!! The paper I used is My Minds Eye Home is where the heart is I think it's called. And of course all cuts were made with the silhouette - I love love this machine!! I think I may add some more confetti and I have to add date tabs to the photos...but for the most part it is done!

Hope you all have an amazing week!

..::Just Plane Cute::..

I'm pretty happy with this layout. The planes are cut from a MSC file and the paper is Echo Park - I'm starting to love anything Echo Park! The sun is is from Precious Piecings. The baby is my precious Takoda Lee of course! I think he was 6 wks old.

..:: Takoda Lee::..

I hadn't been scrapping lately. Fighting with things to work took too much time and frankly, zapped me of any desire to spend my little bit of free time scrapbooking. BUT I love love LOVE my silhouette and have been a scrapping machine (well for me anyway lol!) 

Takoda's birth was a bit of a traumatic experience and every single day I am grateful that we are both here and alive. I thought this photo would be a great first page for his baby book. 

Hope you all have good week and I'll have another share tomorrow!

..Blues Clues Valentine..

I am loving my silhouette cameo! I made this Valentine card for Tobias this afternoon. He's on a super huge blues clues kick...only he calls her "arf" - he's mimicking her bark! So cute! I got the blue svg from Mardenz:DS blog. She has a TON of files there!

Back to more Valentine making!

~Brent's Valentine Day Card~

It's been so long since I've been able to create and it sure felt good to put glue to paper again! I just got the new Silhouette and I am in LOVE! It cuts so fabulously! So here is my first card made with it!

Hope you all have a great Valentines Day! Hope to finish up a layout in the next day or two - so excited about crafting again!

..::Moose Card::..

Here's a snow globe card I made using a moose pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I love making them! I designed the snow globe in SCAL.

)the brown paper is not part of it - it's just used for contrast)

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

..::Real Witch::..

I saw this cute wooden sign with a witch and this saying. I refused to pay 20.00 for it...cute but not THAT cute! I saw they had stencils on ebay to make the same sign I saw...10.00. Still not willing to pay that. I then remembered this awesomely cute paper I had from MME - Mishievious.. I loved that it had a Tim Burton feel to it and my oldest son is crazy about anything Tim Burton like! so I got to work on it and I think it turned out pretty cute! Tyler loves it too!!

Hope you all have a fantabulous week =)

..::Mom's Card::..

This picture is awful...I forgot I didn't have the flash on and when I uploaded it - I had already sent it off..I do love this stamp tho...and my coloring is getting somewhat better..still have some learning to do!

..::Moms Paper Cake::..

I made this little cake out of chip board / paper/ and an LED candle! I hope my mom will love it - she lives 350 miles away so I thought this would be the perfect birthday cake!! I've asked for help making an svg file of the cake because mine is awful or I'd offer to share the file..

Hope you all have a great weekend!

..::Card for my Dr. ::..

My Dr. is having a lumpectomy and I wanted to make her a little card to let her know we are thinking of her. She's such a great Dr and really works hard to take care of ppl not only at work but in her personal life as well. Really great woman and I am praying she won't need chemo. At any rate - here is her card. This time I used paper from Echo Park. Not the best card by any means but I hope it put a smile on her face.
