Recent projects!!

2009-10-08T09:34:00.000-07:00

I'm trying to pick up my slack!

On splitcoaststampers.com, they have ATC swaps, and I'm addicted! I cant help it. I've joined about 10 or so since I've joined the site, and I cant stop LOL So, heres some that I've done:

I also had my first experience with a new tool! Of course, it slips my mind as I'm typing this but its right here on this ATC:

I've also had some orders for my cards! Heres some recent ones I've done. I always try to take a picture because my cards usually dont turn on the same. And its fun to show, of course :)

For some reason, I always take a picture before I color them LOL

Also, heres a few pages I did of my DS coloring for the first time!

I've been MIA on this blog too!

2009-09-21T17:32:00.001-07:00

I have so much to add on here!!! After DS goes to bed, I will update :)

I finished(well all the pictures I have right now atleast) DS birth-1st bday scrapbook!! I'm so glad!!! :) Its really thick, but the more the merrier? LOL Does that work for that? We'll you know what I mean. :-P

BOM challenges!!

2009-08-09T13:31:00.000-07:00

Ive got a few more BOM challenges I havent posted!

WOW!! I've been a slacker!!

2009-08-09T13:18:00.001-07:00

I've been pathetic!

We had a July Crop at mommysavers.com and it was so much fun! I won Queen Of The Crop :) Heres some of my projects:

I did a few for my sons scrapbook and some for my BOM. I had a blast!!!

theres my 'guy-ish' card LOL I had such trouble trying not to pretty it up with flowers and such!

AND!! LOL I hope I dont get in trouble...the contest is over now on mommysavers.com heres my cordinated set:

I'm in LOVE with that butterfly stamp! Its so pretty! I dont know why I was putting my snowman pictures on a flower background...lol I was rushing too fast I guess!

I'm also working on a few pages for Rylans scrapbook called the Traveling Turtle! Somehow this little turtle works its way around the house. I've found it in the dishwasher, the pantry, somehow it got out to the truck one day LOL So I've been documenting its travel for DS! I'm sure he'll laugh about it someday.

Well...Now that I actually posted, I wont be gone for too long now! I have card sets I'm making for gifts and such for christmas and some birthdays.
