Thank You card

This is a quick thank you card that I made for the most wonderful lady that works at the car dealership service department. Whenever we have to take our vehicles in for anything she is always so upbeat, and helpful. I know that not all customer's make her job easy so I wanted her to know that there are some that appreciate what she does.

Sorry for the shadow at the top...I am not real sure what happened there.

Thanks for stopping by and Have the most wonderful day!

Explosion Box

I have been wanting to make an explosion box for quite some time now. So I took the opportunity of my mother's 60th birthday to do just that. They are pretty easy for the most part...thank goodness for that. Well this is juat a short post, but I wanted to get it on today...thanks for stopping by for a look-see.
I hope you all have the most wonerful day!

Lamp Shade

Wow! I can't believe it has been over a month since I posted something. Summer is so crazy with the kids out of school now.
Anyway, I have finally completed something else for my daughter's room make-over. I have finished the lamp shade for her lamp. It was not what we originally planned, but it still came out good. I am in the middle of making her valance now, but of course as luck would have it I ran out of hot fix crystals. I have ordered them, and am just waiting for them to get here so I can continue on. I have also been making quite a bit of jewelry lately. I am having a problem with being able to take good pictures of the items. I need a Nikon for dummies book, or something. I am going to keep trying until the picture turn out. Anyway, here is the lamp shade..before and after....
I hope you all have the most wonderful day!

Mother's day cards

Here are two Mother's day cards I made up real quick last night. I used my new favorite cart...which is Damask. I love it. I cut the cards out at 6 1/2.  I added a bow. sentiment and some blingy bling to each one. I still need to go back and print the envelopes.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look...I hope you all have a magnificent day!

First two layouts....ever

Well here are the first two layouts I have ever created. They are very basic and simple. I make more cards than anything. I did notice that I had a ditz moment when I made the new arrival LO...I forgot to put the date of birth on it. I can not believe I forgot one of the most important things. Anyway, I will get that fixed. I am making this book for my niece and her new baby. Hopefully I will get better at LOs along the way.

I used the New Arrival and Boys will be Boys carts on these.

Oh..and by the way...I used my new Scrap'n Easel to display these. I really do love this thing.

Have the most wonderful scrappin day!

Fed-Ex just delivered my new Scrap'n Easel....Woo Hoo.

Well I just received my new toy...I can't wait to use it. I have never made scrapbook pages before. I usually make cards, and do other crafts. I plan to do some pages in the near future, and I thought this would be a great aid in making them. The only thing I have to say on the negative side (and it is not really negative) is that it is heavier than I expected...maybe I missed that part in the description...I am still so excited, and can't wait to try it out.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafting day!!

Trip to Dallas/Forth Worth

Well we leave in the morning for our annual spring break trip to DFW. Can any one tell me where the good scrapbooking places are for supplies. I wanted to visit somewhere other than Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joann's. If you know of any good stores please let me know.
Have the most wonderful day!
