Dreary Mondays get me down.

I am not a morning person. I am especially not a Monday morning person. Add to that a dreary rainy day and laundry and you'll see what kind of day it is.  I have however gotten some layouts and cards done that I would like to share.
If you remember I mad a mini album for Boo of Monster Jam 2011 in this post. I just made the pages to go in his "big" album last week.



All papers are from Club Scrap the kit is called Comics. I cut the letters and trucks on my Cameo from the inner part of the photo mats, and scraps. I thought adding truck tires as "O's" looked super cute.
I also made layouts of Boo's first piano recital on Club Scrap's kit  All that Jazz



The last 2 are from a performance Boo did with his school also on All that Jazz.  That's all for now I will post the cards I made tomorrow when I am feeling a bit less down.

Hello there Blog land!

HI just looked and it's been way too long since I posted.  I am going to try and do better this year and post at least once a week.
Jumping right in,
Monster Jam was last month and I made a new autograph album for my Boo. Can I say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my Cameo! I altered this pattern to look more like Grave Digger Boo's favorite truck.  His chassis is green with a black purple and green truck hence the colors. The background paper is DCWV from the rock star stack. the skull and crossbones on the side are for looping the elastic closure around. 

PSL just started over at Club Scrap and I am on both card and a scrapbook teams.  I had a slow start and 
these are my cards for the week;
This card was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest from here. I don't have a brayer or position it so I had to wing it and the card didn't quite come out how I planned but I still think its nice. All paper, ink, and stamps on all cards from Club Scrap.


This card I colored the stamp with pencils and, used paper as a ribbon.
I was only able to squeak out one layout this week once again Club Scrap papers;


Love my Cameo I used it to cut out the title. 
That's all for now

Merry Christmas!

Hello blog land, Crazy month!  As we wind down to the new year things start getting crazy again, Valentines day is just around the corner and I have a multitude of ideas for treat containers for Boo's classmates.  First have a gander at my projects for the month...
I decided to make tags for all our gifts rather than use store bought here are a few of my favorites:
The first has sheet music printed on silver paper with a clip art pic of Frosty, the second has the sheet music for Jingle bells printed on it with  Rudolf from Elizabeth O. Dulemba hand colored with pencils and stickles.

I made mini milk carton carriers for some of the neighbors that are always so sweet to Boo, as well as a hot cocoa kit for his coach at school.


Rather than making standard snowflakes this year I made Carolina Snowflakes.  I found the pattern on the  Extreme Cards website. Here is how I used them the windows;

I also hung varying sizes and patterns on the chandeliers with crystal icicles dangling underneath;


I also made CD case pencil cubes for  Boo's piano teacher;



And his Kindergarten teacher;




The papers are scraps from various Club Scrap kits.  The apple is a Club Scrap stencil colored with watercolor pencils, and the squirrel is from Elizabeth O. Dulemba colored with pencils.

That's all I had time to take pics of but there is more to come in the new year as my wonderful Hubby got me a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas!  Cant wait to play with it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
