Sweet little bag Heidi Grace w Flocking!

How pretty! Although very simple, it still took forever with all goings on around here!  I used a template I got in one of my surprise boxes last month. And cut the leaves by hand.  ***Money Saver Alert***  I painted thee large jewels with Bic Mark It markers. I only buy clear jewels now! This paper is beautiful! The picture sure don't do it justice, Its light green pearlesent.


Shimmer and flocked paper, Merry and Bright Heidi Grace Designs paper, and scraps for leaves. Inked with Martha Stewart ink, first green then brown over.  Ribbon older Martha Stewart roll.

Also this ornament is done: Must consult a friend, It was a borrowed stamp. I was playing in her stamps, and brought my images home to play with...I traced this one with Zig 2way pen (My favorite!) Covered with silver Martha Stewart glitter.  Inked it by running around it with a Bic Mark It, and used a Mat of Silver glitter Card Stock, then ran a Hobby Lobby (Ribbon Trends) Ribbon around it from the bottom, then covered the back with card Stock to give it a cleaner look... Added an eyelet with the Crop a dile, and ribbon.
Now to go cook dinner....

Phu, Tea Party Double Page Layout


I see so many things wrong, but in the time frame allowed, Im fine with it!

The hardest thing was trying to choose between sophisticated or playful, I chose playful!  It was my daughters first real friends, instead of just family and her sisters friends.  It was also her first time hosting an over night party, I think the background takes away from the elements. I need some stacked flowers too.  I forgot to mat the food display in the right one, and that was a 3 tear cake pedestal filled with tea cakes and cookies, wish I had a better pic of that! 

Such a fun day!  I'm so ready to do it again and use my new ideas when the youngest is old enough to pour hot tea!  Many of the girls had never laid eyes on sugar cubes, and drinking tea warm was ridiculous, When I added cream, now that was just over the top!  They all enjoyed their tea and had a great time!

I know it wont stay this way, when I get another window of time adjustments will be made!


Please take a second to vote for my owl name "Millie"  HERE  You know I would do it for you.  ; )

11 and 9Yr olds Breast Cancer Awareness Cards

KK's Card



Make it bigger if you need ...They really did a great job!

They are so excited that someone will be getting them!

They had such a great time hanging out together and looking through everything picking their stuff and watching it come together. I am so proud of them!  This was truly a learning experience for them community and craft-wise. And for me parenting-wise!  As usual, probably not a word!  ; )




Auty's Card




They chose the same papers, Which Is REALLY the strangest thing EVER!

They are as different as night and day, They helped each other with their cards and acted like sisters...I couldn't believe my eyes!!!


So those of you following closely know my camera is missing, I'm having to use my 11yr old's with a busted screen and no peep hole, I have to click the best I can and have no way to turn off the flash since I cant see whats on the screen. I point and click and take a ton , pull it up in the computer and crop the best I can...  Hopefully it will show up soon!
