Link Up Love Party with K Andrew

K. Andrew of Getting Cricky with K Andrew has a monthly link Link Up Love party. This is a wonderful way to meet new people, and see more of the wonderful blogs that are out there. She does have some requirements that we all must follow. These are in place to be fair to everyone. K. Andrew is one of the most fantastic people I have found since entering the blogging world. She is one of the most generous people I know. She also has a wonderful new line of stamps that she donates part of the proceeds to different charities...how awesome is that?? I am so grateful for her, her generosity, and all the inspiration she provides.

As some of you know I have been working for months on different project to re-decorate my oldest daughter's bedroom in October. It is one of the most important birthday's for her as she will officially be a teenager. The valance below is one of the projects I finished recently. It did turn our great, and will look so good with the curtains that we bought.

All that being said...Please come and join in on the fun...Below are the rules for the Link up party.

Turtle Card

I made this cute little card for my brother and his family. It was for no particular reason, but to just send a few things their way. I love me some Peechy Keen stamps, and My Pink Stamper stamps!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

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!
