THINKING OF YOU

JUST FOR YOU
~This card was created using cardstock and patterned paper that Andrea sent in the package. See the delicious "sprinkles"!!! So pretty!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Here's a closeup of the stamped image.I did some paper piecing on it.

It's a gorgeous Fall day here!!!

I have some more cards to show you! I apologize to all you out there who drop by to see layouts, but I've been super crazy for cards lately.I'll get back into making layout soon, I promise!

WHY SO GRUMPY?

~made for Crazy 4 Challenges blog. I used a freebie that was offered at Digi Shack.

WHAT A GUY!

~I used a digi from Mo's Digital Pencil.

MY HERO

~another digi by Mo's Digital Pencil.

TRICK OR TREAT

~I used a digi from Digital Delights.

Here's a closeup of the card.I know the Halloween cauldrons are usually oozing green goop, but I didn't want to use green as there was no green in the patterned paper. I think orange goop looks cute though.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

~got this cute little image from DZ Doodles.

Here's a closeup. I used Stickles on his hat and Glossy Accent on his nose.

WARM AND COZY WISHES

~This is a stamped image I received in a stamped image swap at one time.

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS...
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN
~This is a freebie from Charmed Cards and Crafts

HAPPY FALL
~I purchased this digi from Fred She Said.

~I used Digital Delights digis on these next 2 cards.

Wahoo!!! I made the design team on THE CHARACTER CAFE, an internet based company located in Ontario Canada!!! It's run by Kendra Savage and Kelly Keller.

Check here to see who the other design team members are!!

at 7:55 PM

Check out Andrea's Stampin' Moments of Annabelle Stamps for a chance to win some sprinkles like these!!! Don't they look yummy!!!

at 5:29 PM

Don't laugh!!! I don't know how to use them properly yet! I have some new Ciao Copic markers and found a couple of youtube videos and watched them and then colored and created this card last night.

ANOTHER B-DAY?
I used a freebie that was offered a few weeks ago at the Digi Shack.
This card was also done using the sketch at Crazy 4 Challenges blog.

OK, I so hope I get my scrapping mojo back soon!!! I have many things I need to do and I need to find my mojo and get back into a routine of scrapping. Hoping that school will soon be organized and settled so I can feel more relaxed. One thing I have been doing is deleting a lot of the blogs that I have on my google reader that is just taking my time up in deleting and not even looking at them. So, why keep blogs listed on my reader and not even care if I visit them? So, many are gone! Making life easier already!

Don't you think she's adorable!!!! Her name is Wilma Witch. You can buy this digital at DIGITAL DELIGHTS by LOUBY LOU!! This card was also done for the Basic Grey Blog Challenge. The BG paper I used was Lime Rickey.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Here's a closeup of the spider.I used some wire to make his legs.

I have another card to show you but it's dark out now and I can't get a pic of it. So that'll have to wait til tomorrow.

My boy will be 15 on Monday, Sept 21st and ,of course, I had to make him a cake! I asked him what kind of cake he wanted and guess what he said... he wanted a CAKE WRECKS cake!!! How cool is that! So here it is!!!

Can you guess all the "Cake Wrecks" trademarks??

Here they are:
~" " around words
~ Of course, birthday is spelled wrong!
~"bye" instead of "boy"
~all the !!!!!!! Some professional cake decorators there get overly excited about them!!!! I don't know why!!!!!!
~the "blobs" in the corner that are supposed to be some nice flowers
~the famous "underneath that" phrase
~"you're" spelled wrong, as usual
~and I ran out of space so I rammed 15 in there as best I could, as many of the cake wreckers do...

Where is the time going???

Here's a bookmark I did last night for the challenge posted at Bee Crafty.

I HEART 2 READ

I created a card using a sketch found at Crazy 4 Challenges. The digi came from Lindsey's Stamp Stuff. I added a circle of paint and panit splatters to look like there's coffee wasted on the card!

I WANT TO ESPRESSO MY THANKS

This card was made for Digital Tuesday challenge to do a card with a kid on it! I used a digi from Mo's Digital Pencil (link on sidebar).

SUPER KID

That's about all I have time for this morning. Hoping to do a layout or 2 this evening.

at 10:04 PM

I haven't had time to do any scrapping or card-making
:O( But I think our schedules are worked out now and hopefully things will start to run smoothly next week!!! And I'm so tired! Man, it's HARD getting back into the routine of going to bed early and getting up early.

Here's my youngest boy , Nathan, on his first day of school! My oldest has been getting up and going with his father learning about driving the dump truck and loader and stuff!

Here's a card I made Monday night and am just getting around to posting it! It's made from a freebie and card sketch at There's Magic in the Air.
UNFORGETTABLE

I also got another wickedly wonderful email this week but have to hold off telling you all about it!!! Squeal!!!

Have a great weekend, everyone! I'm hoping to do some creative projects tomorrow evening.

at 7:52 AM

I was chosen for the design team at ANNABELLE stamps!!! I can't wait to start playing with the stamps! Thanks Andrea!!!

First day of school punched! Tomorrow the students are there :O) I'm so excited that I'm teaching grade 6 Math, Language, Science, Social Studies again (well, not so excited about the Social Studies, not too crazy about that subject...) as well as Art for the 5's and 6's!!! (LOVE THAT!!!!) AND...I'm the only one now doing Learning Resources and Librarian! For the last few years, I've been sharing the position with another teacher but that teacher retired last year, so I'm doing it all now! I'm glad to be doing this! It's fun!!!

Here's an altered project that I did last week and gave it to my son's friend for school!

I started with these items:

and made these. I used the Jillibean Soup recycled paper line that was in The Scrapping Bug kit this month!

Here are some closeups...
