Here is a summer layout I did of my girls in the back yard.  I used Roxie paper, playful flourishes stamp set.  I added some bling to my stars and glitter glizt in the stamps for some add sparkle.  It was a basic layout but was happy with how it turned out.  Thanks for looking.

November Christmas Cards Blog Hop

Welcome to our first of 2 Blog Hops happening this month. In this Hop you will find that each consultant has created 3 Christmas Cards using non-Christmas paper! They were given the challenge to create these 3 cards using either cardstock or another paper packet of their choice.

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the beginning and join Deanne in NewFoundland at http://deannestamps.blogspot.ca. If you came from Deanne's blog Treasured Heart then you are in the right place!

For my Santa Card, I have used cranberry cardstock for the base.  White cardstock that I embossed and Black cardstock for the belt.

For my snowman card, I use cranberry again for the base and white cardstock that I embossed with snowflakes and added some glitter to the snowflakes, along with some red ribbon to the side.

For my snow friends card, I used the Bundled Buddies stamp set. I used twilight for the base.  I used liquid applique for some snow.  I masked the tree behind the racoon and our markers to color them in.  I also heat embossed the saying in silver.

Busy week.

Well this week is turning out to be a busy one and it's only Tuesday.  Between teaching zumba and epicure parties. I'm getting ready for my scrapday this Saturday.  Can't wait!  We will be doing a 2 page layout, along with a Halloween treat box, making some 3D flowers and then some personal scrap time. There is a door prize to win and some games to play as well.  Everyone gets a treat box when they arrive filled with some goodies!
I have 16 ladies attending the event.  Should be a great day of scrapping and sharing ideas.
Will post some photos from the event on Sunday.

Canvas wall photo

I picked up a canvas frame from the dollar store and used my favorite Roxie paper once again.  Again I painted all of the frame black then decorated it.

Decorated clock

Here's a clock I did recently of my beautiful girls. I purchased the clock from a craft store and decorated it with Roxie paper.  I loved this paper.  I painted the clock with black paint and added create a shade paint to give a bit of a glitter.  I was please with how it turned out.

Beautiful Girls

My beautiful girls.  Alyssa and Emma. Emma is the little one who we adopted when she was a year and half.  She was such a little cutie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10 Things I Love About U

 So this is from a few years ago but one of my favs and it has my baby in it.  Moushou was mommy's boy.  He was a big boy around 25lbs.  He ended up getting a tumor on his side and we had to put him down almost a year ago.  It was the worst day of my life!  It was actually my second worse day, as a few months before his twin brother got hit by a car. They were both 9 years old so not old for kitties.  I miss them dearly everyday and not a day goes by that I don't think of my boys.  Miss you both Blue and Moushou.  xoxo
