..::Blog Award::..

I received an award!! woohoo!! Thank you Kim and Olive Juice Studios!!! Lets see the rules are: Share 7 things about yourself and pass on to 15 people. Oi! 7 things about moi...hmm this isn't going to be easy!!!

1. I am a mom of 3 boys. 15, 11, and 10 months.

2. I've begged my husband to become a polygamist so I can get some help with the cleaning and laundry...I want to scrap more!

3. I love the smell of good paper.

4. I love love love sweet tea! I drink about a gallon a day...

5. I have the worlds dumbest dog. She's very loving and sweet...but she is dumb!

6. I have recently learned that I have a very bad temper. When I get pushed too far, I react now and think later. Not always a bad thing but not always good either. (I asked my son what I should tell you all and he said "how about when you get really mad you have no sense?) (yeah, it's been a rough weekend in our neighborhood!)

7. I'm too kind hearted and have been taken advantage of more times than I ever want to count.

Now to pass this on...

Jessica (of course!)

Dawn

and uhm...hmm I'll have to add to this as I go!

Thanks for the award girls!!

..::Dear God::..

This was when Tobias was about 3 or 4 months old and I was trying to get the "perfect" picture. When I seen this one I knew just what to do with it! I used some butterfly bits from the last layout and used my MS score board (OH how I love that thing!) to make the pleated circles and my dies that I got from my friend Jessica! Thank you again girlie!

Happy Friday all!

~*~ You Make My Heart Flutter ~*~

This is one of my favorite pictures of Tobias. The picture of this layout doesn't do it justice but I'm lacking sun here today AGAIN! UGH! HURRY SPRING!!

Hope you all are having a great Monday!!

~*~ Monkey Hunter ~*~ (2nd post today)

FINALLY!! My picture came!! I used the monkey pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs and this paper is from a BEAUTIFUL!! stack I found at ...maybe Hobby Lobby? Its from My Minds Eye and its called Where The Heart Is. I tried to make the monkeys clothes match Tobias' the best I could! I really like this layout!

~*~ Pop Can Flutterby ~*~

OK so...maybe this has been done before and isn't new news to you all but it so is to me!! I know about a year ago someone said you could use paper punches on soda cans so I wondered if my cuttlebug would cut a soda can...and guess what?! It can!!!!! Here is the flutterby I made with a soda can/cuttlebug/alcohol inks/stickles...the ideas running my mind are endless!! And just in case you're wondering...the edges are not sharp in the least...the cuttlebug bends them over when the bug is cut! Now I must collect dies!!!

Happy Thursday!!

~*~ My Monkey Hunter ~*~

I made the cutest layout!! OK not the cutest but I gotta tell ya I'm so excited about it! BUT I can't share it yet :( I ordered the picture over a week ago and it still is NOT here grr. I'm so over Kodak...they use to have the greatest fastest shipping and now it's like...I could walk it there and back before they actually ship it. UGH!!!! So...here's a little peek at my layout...and the title will make sense only with the picture! I sure hope it's here tomorrow or my impatience will cause a trip to a one hour photo store!!

Happy Wednesday!!

~*~ My little card maker ~*~

Trev made "the family" a card for Valentines Day. The sweetest part of this very sweet card is that he made it while he was so sick with strep throat and kept it a secret until Valentines Day. He forgot to give it to us until today tho...his dad was sick and then with working nights and sleeping days when we finally do all get on the same page it's like an hour of fast talking and catch up! Isn't it so cute? I LOVE it. Brent also made me a card for Valentines Day. I think it helped him see how hard I work on scrapbooking. He defenitly has a new interest in it... I framed it in PSP so it would be easier to see...I hope!

Happy Tuesday!!

~*~ My Shining Star ~*~

Not sure I'm loving the way the word star turned out. They were white foam stickers and I sprayed them with Metallic alcohol inks...I think I might change it to yellow. Tyler made his first non jewelry piece of clay work and I took his picture with him. Can you believe it only took him about an hour to make?! On this day his dad worked with him. That's a whole nother layout! I also used the little fabric heart left over bit from Tobias' onsie!
