Some goodies from 2010 and on to 2011! :)

 Since my life has been quite chaotic the past week and I am just getting to this now....

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

I hope all of you and your famlies had a fantastic holiday and rang in the new year in style!  This year was our first night attending First Night, and lemme tell you what, it was a BLAST! Minus the strep that decided it was a good idea to play in my body!! ARGH!  Anyway, I have been trying to keep up with the TONS of people I follow in the papercrafting and bariatric world, but holiday time it is def tough!  Soooo. I have held off on posting some more creativeness I did.  I have decided while I have a little bit of time and with no distractions it would be a fabulous time to post these new creations!!!

Snowflakes Card:
Christmas Cartridge (solutions)
Stickles
Rope Ribbon from the Christmas Ribbon Michael's had on sale
Peachy Keen Stamps:  Everyday Face Parts and Funshine Faces Face Parts
Bazzill basics card stock for the card
 Noel Card:
Red cardstock (background):  Bazzill Basics
Gold cardstock and red patterned cardstock:  DCWV 'Tis the Season & Christmas Comb stacks
Ribbon/Gold twine:  Creative (Michael's)
Xmas Red Stickles
 When life hands you limes.....
Lime and letters from Cherry Limeaide (Lite Cricut Cartridge)
Lime green Stickles
Peachy Keen Stamps:  Everyday faces

Inside the card reads (in green ink) Make a Margarita!! Happy Birthday!!
I kind of kicked myself in the pants after doing this one because I should have done a pink background for the card and instead of the top layer of the Owl being blue I could have done pink...for Valentines day, but here is the finished product of this one....

Owl cut from the Cricut using Cindy Loo
"Owl always love you" cut from Gypsy Font
on the blue part of the Owl I used some Waterfall colored Stickles.
The brown and green on the Owl I had in my seperate pieces of paper, and the green card was from Card of the Month Club.
The white paper and the blue paper is Recollections from Michael's.  The white is shimmery when you take it out of the package which I just LOVED!

It JUST struck me that I don't have any pictures of the other 2 clipboards that I made.  I will have to take pictures of them and put them on here.  I really hope to get my rear in gear and make some more things really soon!!!

My goal for this year is to get more creative and post more often and perhaps get on one of these design teams that people have going!!!

Well that is all for now!  Enjoy!

I had a bit of a dry spell...buuuuuut tons of projects for you to see!!!

So everyone....I have been out of touch lately, and had a crafting dry spell....more or less...STUCK IN A HUUUUUUUUGE RUT! So recently, I did some holiday blog hops...saw tons of awesome things. Check out the people I follow and you will probably be able to find some nice inspirational ideas!! One inspirational idea I got was doing coasters. I went to my local hardware store (the one that usually has just about everything. Well they didn't have coaster size tile so we had to deal with hot plate sized tiles. Fine by us, it would be a little bit bigger than coasters, and each person would get one, for a hot plate or decoration.  So here it is (and I have labled each one as far as who made it since my friend and I made a bunch together (well 8 of them).

Made by Carrie:

< also made by me
  My favorite of them all!!!  I made this one second.....
 Sooo...then I had to do something (like I do every year) for school pictures for family.  I picked up these frames from the dollar store.  Cut out Owen's name with my cricut.  Used the paper inside to mat his picture.  framed it all up distressed the wood on the frame some and it was good to go...each one is a little different just like each set of Great Grandparents these ones will go to!!


 This one is one of the pictures for the Grandparents.
 This is the other one....came out extremely similar...I just made some distressing changes between the both of them.  I really wanted to use stickles really bad buuuuuuuuuuuut I am sure that would have made a boy frame turn pretty girlie quick like!



So, to say there are a couple of quick simple (inexpensive) gift ideas that I am pretty sure people will love and cherish since they are homemade and from the hart-makes me happy.
One last project I have worked on for Owen's teacher came out really cute!
This was pre- i*Rock.  :)
 This is post i*Rock.  I rather have the i*Rock's on it than not.  Came out sooooooo cute and I hope she likes it!!!

Well thats what I have for now!!!

I made a card and an explosion box, but they haven't had a photo shoot yet!  Those will come next!!

I have been M.I.A.

Hey everyone!!!

Sorry I have been so absent lately. As some of you know I had surgery. I went under the knife on 10/27 for gastric bypass surgery. I must say one of the best decisions of my life!!! Today is finally one of those days where I am feeling perky enough to hop online and catch up on EVERY THING....NOT just Facebook.

Just before I went on my little hiatus I started putting things together for my son's bday party that is on the 13th. My little guy turned 5 today... *sigh* Say it isn't so!! So for right now I have a picture of the invitations I made....

I'm making some cards now...so I'll have some more pictures later!!!

Since the links didn't work before....

Here they are....

Layouts

Cards

Not everything mostly everything is posted to my facebook page, which for personal reasons you have to be a friend to see everything. Other than that there is a group where a lot of it is posted, and I'll put the facebook link up for that in the near future (I'm at work with no access to fb, and having a brain fart cuz I haven't done much with my papercrafting fb page).
