I love this Man!

Happy Monday!  I hope this week flies by.  My sweet hubby and I will be in Tennessee for the 4th of July week.  I can't wait.  We have nothing on the schedule just to sit back and relax.  We love going to my mothers because we can take our dog Skip and she relaxes and does not get in a hurry for anyone.  ha ha...

This past week end I got the itch to scrapbook.  I have been wanting to scrap for a while now.  Just not enough time in the day.  So this past saturday night, very late I might add.  (It was almost midnight) was the day (or night) for me to scratch that itch.   

After perusing my pictures I decided on this one.  It is a snapshot of my husband from Christmas 2009.  I didn't want to use Holiday supplies as I wanted to focus on him and him alone. 

The supplies I used are Stella Rose by My Minds Eye and Prima flowers and bling.  The Heart is hand drawn by folding the paper in 1/2 and drawing the 1/2 heart.  (you know,  the way you learned in grade school.lol) I used the We r Memory Keepers Sew Easy to go around the heart.  I then did a back stitch with white DMC thread and embroidery needle.  I distressed all the edges with Heidi Swapp Edge distresser.  The letters are from American Crafts Thickers.  I hand punched the little red heart out with a Stampin Up punch.  I used my printer to print up the quote at the bottom of the page and I cut out each word and ink distressed the white cardstock with Scattered Straw distress ink to give it a more softer look.  The border punch that I used on one of the stripes is from Fiskars.

  
Hope you all have a fabulous Monday!  and I hope to be back soon with more creations.  :) 

 

My Blog's New Look

Hi my fellow Stampers and Bloggers....

Check out my new home!  Do you like it?  I love the CLEAN AND COOLNESS of the design. 

Thanks to my designer:  http://blog.vkdesigncompany.com/  I'm totally loving my new look.  :)

I hope you all had a great week end.  I sort-of took Sunday off from blogging and I played in my Stamp room.  First I skyped with my mom the 1st half of the day while prepping for Tuesdays class. (there is still room for 2 more if you'd like to sign up, contact the store, which is closed today, but you could leave a message) (or shoot me an email)  Then the 2nd 1/2 of the day I skyped with Karen We did manage to make a few cards.  :)  I haven't taken pictures of those as of yet.  But I will...  Soon. 

The project I am going to show you today is:

 
 
This little fella here is my nephew Lee.  Look at that little face.  He's such a cutie and a sweetie. 

All the papers used are by Sass-a-frass.  They are another favorite.  (of course anything I buy is a favorite..lol) 

Hope you all have a great Monday.  I am going to try to leave work a little early so I can go get my hair cut.  A much needed hair cut.  :) 

 

Princess Bella

Holy Moly do I love Stella Rose by My Minds Eye.  :)  LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.  I need more embellishments.  I gotta go shopping.  :) 

 The above picture is of my Sister Renee and little Princess Bella.  Bella is so prissy and little.  Not to mention just stinking cute.  I ordered the "Cherish" punch by Ek success and was dying to use it.  I really didn't have an angle I was shooting for  when I started the layout.  I just started Punching, stitching and then ended up cutting the center and then adding eyelets for lacing.  A little bit of prima bling and flower to finish it off. 

Hope you have a great day.
