Cards on my Etsy

I have  put a lot of my cards on my Etsy shop.  Go have a quick look see and feel free to buy if you see anything you like! (wink wink)  Have a great day!!

A little time...

Okay so today Scott has the day off.  He arranged to do some electrical job, but didn't leave at his normal 5:30.  So around 6:30 when the kids were eating breakfast, I sneaked away into my closet and made this card.  It was for a trend bandwagon challenge at SS.  So my trend I really haven't gotten into is transparencies.  I just am pretty clueless as to how to use them.  This turned out pretty okay though.

First Day

So I scrapped!  I haven't in a while, so I sat down Saturday morning and got this one done.  Now if I could only photograph it right.  Oh to have a wide format scanner... Oh well.  I will keep looking on eBay for that one.  Here it is.  Have a fantastic day and TFL!

Just Playin' around

Well last Sunday I was playing around with my point and shoot camera and these are what came out.  Not too shabby.  I am sure I need a bit more practice and once I get the camera I want, I will  have to take a class or two.  Anywho, just thought I would share.  TFL!

It's over!!

Finally the crop is over!  I had a great time with all who came.  Sooooo much fun.  Sooo much laughter a complete blast!!  So that is over.  Now we have Andrew in coach pitch and is starting practice today.  So that should be fun! 

I made this card today.  It has been in my head for a long time but it finally came together today!  Hope you like it!  Have a great day!

WOOO HOOO!

Okay so some may think I am old and some may think I am young with this post.   I have to say that through my sophomore year at Ricks College I listened to mainly one band.  This is due to my great and seriously fantastic roommate Lorinda.  Well that band is Matchbox 20 now Matchbox Twenty spelled out.  When on iTunes purchasing a gift card for my cousin Mikaela for her birthday(HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!),  I noticed a song out by Matchbox that I hadn't heard.  Well they are coming out with a new album on October 2nd.  SCHWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!  I quickly downloaded the song and l absolutely LOVE it!!  It is called How Far We've Come.   Seriously can't get enough.  Go to iTunes and see for yourself! 

Well I have been pretty busy getting ready for the crop this weekend.   I am sooooo excited!  It will be a ton of fun!  If you haven't heard anything about it, click here.  I hope to see a lot of you there!  Have a great day!!

My ER Morning

That's right I said it.  ER.  I found myself in the ER at 5:30 this morning with my baby boy.  He has the croup.  Nice huh.  Poor little guy.  If you recall, I mentioned that Sarah was sick last week.  Well apparently hers wasn't as severe as Ryan's.  He had a really hard time breathing this morning and so I took him in.  They gave him a shot and a breathing treatment, which honestly, I hated.  He was so miserable during the whole thing, I just had to keep telling myself it is going to help him get better. 

The day has been pretty bad for me.  I just am so exhausted and worn out, not to mention the piles of laundry and dishes that need to be done.  I am ahead on my laundry and have folded each batch as they come out of the dryer and put them away.  If you know me at all, this is a HUGE  thing for me.  As for the dishes, they are slowly getting done as well. 

I so need some time to myself where I don't feel like the maid and the cook.  That is what I felt like today.   Oh well, I do have some fantastic ideas for some cards that I will be making Monday when I go get the supplies I need.  LOL!

Until then...I will have to create with what  I have.  Have a good night!

Feelin a little slumpy

Well for some reason I have been in a scrapbooking slump.  Sure I make cards, but I haven't finished a layout in a long long time.  So my goal for this weekend is to get at least 5 layouts done.  I will hopefully be doing them during nap time today.  Ryan is pretty sick.  102.4 fever and a pretty bad cough.   So I canceled my appt with the Endocrinologist to stay home with him.   So hopefully he gets better soon.

So here are some cards I made last night while feeling creative.  TFL!

Hmmmm....today.

Well today started off pretty okay.  I mean the kids woke up at their usual 6:15 and Andrew was dressed by 6:30.  Sarah and Ryan were up and all the kiddos were eating their breakfast and watching The Great Mouse Detective when I decided to be creative.  So I made a card.  Well it became time to get ready to take the kids to school.  I made Andrew's lunch and then went to brush my teeth.  Well while doing this the phone rang and with toothbrush in mouth (along with all the stuff that comes with it) I answered the phone.  It was the neighbor asking if I was picking up the kids to take them to school.  Well of course I was.  Well her daughter needed to be there early.  I thought it was just yesterday.  No, all week.  Huh, didn't know that.  So needless to say I said I will leave right now no big deal.  My kids were all dressed and ready to go.   No, she decided to take her kids to school.  So now I feel pretty bad.  I put my kids in the van and took Andrew to school.  What did I see when I pulled up?  She got there the exact same time I did.  Huh.  Well still feeling pretty bad about it.  The one thing I insist on is my kid will never be late for school.  I make it a point to be there at least 10 min early.  I will call Scott and see if he can pick the boys up from school to save the neighbor a trip.  See I drop off and she picks up. 

So today will be an interesting day.  I am heading off to the dentist for a cleaning and a filling.  Yippee for me!   Hopefully that will be all that is necessary.  We are self insured and last month when Scott, Andrew and Sarah all went for their cleanings, it was a whopping $500!!  Ouch! 

Well here is the card I made this morning.  It is based on the sketch from Sketch this cards.  TFL!
