Creative Rut

Well I haven't posted anything in a while because I just haven't had time to do much lately, but hoping a visit and lots of pictures of my sweet nephew will get me going next week. I have some cards to make, more knitting to do, scrapbooking and some shopping I'm sure.

Stay tuned for some fun stuff!

P.S. Just got word that my "fabulous" prize is being shipped out today so I will have some pics of all my winnings as soon as it gets here!

Sweet - I won!

So...sometimes I enter a contest, just on the off chance I might win and today I got a message saying that I did indeed win! I was so excited I forgot to ask what I won, but it is a "fabulous prize" according to the Creating Keepsakes website and hopefully it will be arriving on my doorstep soon.

Here's what I did to win...they had a little contest to put one of your layouts on one of their magazine covers. Here's what I posted...

A layout I did of miss Lillian - She's so cute!


I also got my new scissors, tape refill, and new cutting mat that I ordered today...double scrap happiness and tomorrow I get spend some time with my mom helping her work on some of her books. It's going to be a great weekend!

Armed and Crafty

So I have all this fabric and I have been trying find an easy and fun way to use some of it up. I found a tutorial online at the American Crafts Dear Lizzy site to make rolled flowers so I grabbed my glue gun and got to work.


Here's the link the video with the easy how to: http://americancrafts.typepad.com/studio/2010/04/dear-lizzy-fabric-flower-video.html

Here's the end result - Thank You card for a friend


A Happy day card for some lucky person :-)

Happy National Scrapbooking Day

Hope you have a chance to get creative today! I have a couple cards to make before a Kentucky Derby party. I'll post pictures later.

Have a great day!

New Addition...

... to the scrap room that is! I found this great Hip Home wall art at Joann's and best of all it was 70% off!

I think it just adds a little something to the scraproom and is a great message.

"You're the HERO of your own story."

Tutu Cute

Yes... they are too too cute for sure! Jess mentioned a couple weeks ago we should make tutus for our little girls in our life so I said I was in. It was actually pretty easy, if you want to know how just ask. Here are the fun tutus that will be making their way down to El Paso, TX for my little Lillian and her baby sister that is yet to arrive.

Baby Cooke's tutu - pink and purple tulle, with pink organza ribbon and a couple little purple fire flies sewn on to the ribbon.


Miss Lillian's tutu - also pink and purple tulle, but with pink and teal organza ribbon and matching fireflies sewn around the waist line...


Okay girls, now its time to dance!!

P.S. (sorry Sarah...had Holdan been a girl, one would be coming your way as well)
