..::Anniversary Card::..

My little brother and his wife just celebrated their 1st Anniversary yesterday and of course I had to make a card!! It was so much work with tearing and computer crashes...I think I cut the people out 7 times all together. OI! Before I sent it off I added some pearls to the woman's neck and wrist and the saying at the bottom of the card. All in all I think it turned out OK!!

Hope you all are having a great weekend. It's been crazy busy here with some of the craziest things happening. You couldn't make some of this up!

..:: Birthday Party::..

I finally got around to scrapping some of Tobias' first Birthday! I still have to add the journaling and do a few more pages. I struggled with this a great deal and I'm not sure why. It didn't turn out like I had pictured it but at least it's done!!

I used patterns from Myscrapchick and Little Scraps of Heaven.

2 more days until school starts :( I'm having such a hard time with it this year. It's hard to feel like you're sending your children into the lions den each day...I really hope this year is different.

Hope you all have a great week.

..:: Monkey Cards ::..

I haven't felt much like scrapping for the past month. I'm still shocked it's been that long. I'm discouraged with Provo Craft. For many reasons. I love my cricut I just don't like the way they are choosing to promote carts, machines, what have you. I really don't like the way they chose to separate us either. The cricut circle I mean. All this time I thought my dollar was just as good as the next persons. I spose I was wrong. I don't know. It's something I think about a good deal.

At any rate...here are some cards I made this evening. The monkeys are from MYSCRAPCHICK junglezootoo. It's a very cute set. My cards are simple. I don't have any mojo :( Just got some pictures developed so hopefully that helps.

School starts this week. Can't believe summer is over. :(

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

..::Out of this World::..

I've been waiting and waiting to get the Robotz cartridge! When Bub was little he was obsessed with Robots. He still is to a certain degree...only now he wants to build them from more than just legos. When I seen this cartridge I knew this was the ONE cartridge I HAD to have. It came this morning and me and Bub got right to work.

Here's our first of many!

Hope you all are having a fantabulous week!

..:: Is Frustrated! ::..

I always loved to read the cricut boards...inspiration, enabling, etc etc. Now it's like watching paint dry trying to get into the boards. Ridiculous! I've sent in the questionnaire about their "maintenance" and still it's been like 2 months of wait 3 minutes for a page to load. Totally discouraged and lost :( Where to lurk now :(

OK back to your regularly scheduled program...

..:: Princess Layout::..

I made this layout for some pictures of my niece. I think it turned out OK. Boy was it difficult making a girl layout! OI!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

..::What I'm Working On::..

I want to make something girly. I have no girls but I had to have these faces from myscrapchick and so now I have to make something pretty! I don't like the cut outs of the printed bits. So I cut it myself with my cricut and highlighted and shaded as needed. I think she's looking pretty princess like! Now to brainstorm the layout... The picture of course is way lighter than the real thing but it's the best I can do with no sun!

Hope you all are having a great weekend. We are melting here again!!

..::The Pampered Chef::..

Brent HAD to get Tobias a stove. He played with his cousins stove and loved the opening and closing of doors so we set out to find him a stove. Oh my word, you would of thought we were shopping for a new car. We found a lot. Brent hated every one of them. Each one he didn't like the door. I found a garage sale on craigslist with a kitchen stove set. I e-mailed and asked if she'd consider selling before the sale...YES!! She would! So...Tobias got the stove of Brent's dreams for...*drum roll* 5.00!!! I could not resist scrapping this. I've got to come up with a journaling tag..I have a plan but not sure yet.

Hope you all are having a fantabulous week! We are melting here!~
