New cards!

Here are some new cards I made today with my new stamps. LOVE THEM!



Michaels and STAMPS!

I went to Michaels today and in their $1 spot I found some more stamps!! I bought 10 sets of studio g and then over in the clearance area they had a bunch of stickers and jellies. I just had to have them and being only $.50 they wer mine in a flash. The ones I got were Me and my BIG ideas. I am so excited about my little purchases. Oh, I also got some more card stock and some ribbon and Zots! Now I need some help with inks. What inks are good for stamping? I used the CTMH ones yesterday and they seemed to work well and the ones I saw at Michaels were soooo spendy!

Sorry about the lighting on the photos. I can't find photoshop on my computer (its fairly new) and I can't lighten them up.

I STAMPED!

I dusted off the stamps and made this card. Oh my! I am hooked. It was a lot of fun and I am so glad that my mother gave these to me. Now I can't wait to go to Michaels and see what other stamps they have and I need brown ink, black ink, and a gold color! The creative juices are flowing and I can't stop them now!!

Scrapping Time~Disney Style

My sister asked me recently to upload some of my layouts that I have been doing.

Let me preface this by saying I have no idea how to take a picture of my layouts. I see so many great, clear, close pictures of layouts on other blogs but can't seem to figure it out. Maybe it is the lighting.



Any suggestions are welcome.

Charity Item

My son's cub scout pack is having a silent auction to benefit Friends of Scouting at our annual dinner. I am donating a handmade fleece throw with our pack numbers embroidered on it. It is a great blanket for all kinds of things including snuggling up with it while camping, putting it on your bed, hanging out on the couch. Best of all the boys can put their patches on it. The patches that they earn throughout the year don't go on their uniforms and some boys haven't bought the red vest that they can be sewn on. This way they can put their patches on this blanket and keep it for a keepsake of their time in cub scouts.If you see it and want one I sell them too. Email me or leave me a comment with your email and I will get in contact with you. I can do them for Boy Scouts in tan and green and for Girl Scouts too.

Caroline's Fleece Jacket

I cut this jacket out on Tuesday afternoon and I sewed it together last night. I was so proud of it and think it looks very cute. It was interesting sewing a jacket together as it was a bit different than other clothes that I had sewed before. I used fleece and sometimes when the layers were four or more deep it was a little hard to sew through. Caroline picked out the iron-on appliques. There are two butterflies on her left breast and on the bottom there are flowers and ladybugs. She went to bed before it was done and this morning I showed it to her.

She was quick to announce that she didn't like it because it didn't have Mickey Mouse on it. Well, that is just too bad!! Still it is cute and she wore it to school today without argument.
