The kiddos...

I thought I would share a few pics of my kiddos. Here's my girls right before the Spurs basketball game tonight...which we should be leaving in a minute or so.... They are super excited!!! We are going to go eat and then head to the game!!! So they got all decked out in the Spurs gear. And of course it is pink...what other color is there?


This was yesterday outside, a nice 80 degrees outside. They were using the bottoms of some of my plant containers. I haven't planted anything yet so they decided they made great hats. They were too funny!!!



And here is when the "rain" came down.

Well I know this is short blog but I hope you have a great day!

Hey there cupcake!

I wanted to make my friends little girl a really cute birthday card & what says happy birthday more than cake...well cupcake that is! I used my cricket and the Doodle Charms cartridge to create this card. I cut out several cupcakes, tops of cupcakes, bottoms of cupcakes, & candles until I got it just right. I used paper from AC Pattern Paper "Teen" and SU cardstock to create the different layers of my cupcake. I also used my scor pal to make the lines for the cupcake liner. Inside I stamped "Make a Wish" from Studio G stamps. It needed some sparkle so out came the stickles. And of course we have to add ribbon for that just right touch.

Wild flowers...

It's feels like spring here...so I decided to make a springy card!

I stamped my images (MFT's "hooga Booga" sentiment, & "Spring Sprouts") in Brilliance graphite black ink. I then colored them with my copic markers and cut out. I added stickles to a few of the centers and to the sun & butterfly. I layered my paper (AC Patterned Paper "Teen") and used glue dots to adhere all my flowers. Some flowers were put on pop up glue dots to add some deapth. I also used the pop up glue dots on my sun.

It's a Boy!!!

Before you get the wrong idea...NO I'm not pregnant!!! My friend on the other hand is and she is having a BOY!!! This will make 4 boys for her...brave woman! We are throwing her a baby shower at my house and I wanted to do something special for her. So I decided to go with a car theme for my baby gift. I found a cute little pj set with the exact same little car that matched my stamp...how lucky can a girl get!! So I made her a few note cards, decorated a little cotton ball & q'tip set, made her bag all cute-sfied and then filled it with all the baby necessities! Here are a few pictures of her gift. I really hope she likes it. I have all girls so it's not very often that I get to make something boyish.

I made a set of 5 of these.

Cocktails Anyone?

This is my entry for the MFTIJ03...

The theme was Girls Night Out! The only catch was you had to use one of the MFT's Who's That Girl sets. Well I used my Hanging With My Peeps set. Originally she is holding a little bird, but I thought since it's GNO, why not hold some purses. Someone always has to stay behind and hold the purses while your dancing right?

So for my card, I paper pieced her outfit, using decorative paper from Luxe's Cocktail Dress series...Amaretto Sour & Martini. Appropriate wouldn't you say so... I even paper pieced her shoes as well. Then I stamped and embossed my purses from my MFT "Monsters Ink" set, and placed a rhinestone on top. Colored with copics, arranged purses, layered my card and added ribbon.

For the purses I found this cute template...http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=424164. I used both sides of the Martini paper to create these. I added a Velcro button to the inside and put a red button on the outside attached by a glue dot.

For the martini glasses, which I got at the dollar store ($2 total) I used Martha Stewart's glitter glue and added Martha Stewart chunky glitter around the edges. Then I used some left over paper (Martini) and made olives. Attached them to the toothpick and stuck them in the glass. I used my nestabilities to cut the circles for the glass charm. I stamped her shoes and colored with copics, cut out and glued to the charm. I had some silver stretchy cord so I used that to tie it on to the glass.

I think this little set came out really cute! I really like the glasses but I think they will just be for show. Don't want to swallow a bunch of glitter! TFL

Meow meow meow...

I have a sweet little one eye kitty named Peaches...who meows all the time!!! In the middle of the night, she's meowing in my ear, during the day she's meowing. The only time she isn't meowing is when she is eating. Now I've heard cats only meow when they are hungry...but I don't know. I think Peaches is telling me to pet her, okay she's demanding me to pet her. If I pet her as much as she would like, she would be bald!! She is a very spoiled little kitty.

For this card I used my Clear Dollar Stamps: Momma Kitty, Simon (x 3), and Kitty Toys. First I stamped my kitties in Brilliance graphite black ink and then colored with copics. I then stamped my fish onto gray cardstock to make background paper with the versamark then added CTMH's black embossing powder. I put brads on the corner of the fish background paper and then tied ribbon around the layers of cardstock. I then added layers of cardstock and pattern paper to the actual card. The pattern paper is from Making Memories small black dots. I attached the fish paper to the other layers by putting it up on foam dots. I really like the gray and turquoise color combo. This was one of those things that just happened...no planning involved. Hope you like it!

For a Friend

One of my good friends last day at her 'old' job is Friday. She's my two older girls school nurse. She is the one who bandages my kids when they get there hand caught in the door, run into the door, fall and scrap a knee, get a splinter, or just need some TLC. She is not going far off, she's going to a local high school. Crazy, yes she might be, I hear high school kids are SCARY!!! She will be closer to her kids, same school, so that is a plus. I sure am going to miss her.

I decided to make her this little band aid tin and a few band aids to go with it. The band aids are just one inch by 3 1/2 inch strips and I used my one inch square punch for the middle. I stamped little dots with CTMH's "Dots All Around" and the heart with Scrappy Cats, heart stamp. Then I sponged the edges and adhered the middle to the strip. I put a few little sayings on the back of each band aid. Then for the tin, I used Foof-a-la "Hall Pass" paper and adhered it to the tin with red double sided sticky tape. Next I used SU's ribbon for around the top and the bow. I had some left over green that I decided to add to the mix. I cut a strip to fit the top and used my Marvy corner rounder. Then for the tag, I used SU's "Happy Hearts" (stamped in CTMH's Vineyard Berry" and CTMH's "Whooo Loves You" stamp set for the sentiment (stamped in Jim Holtz Distress Ink brushed corduroy). I free cut the red cardstock and then punched a hole and placed an eyelet. I attached the ribbon with stretchy silver elastic. On the back of the tin, I put a little band aid. I used SU's slit punch and then cut a square to match. I also sponged the edges and added dots with a marker.
