Halloween Fever!!!!

Okay, so hopping along everyone's blog got me in the Halloween Fever!!!! I just had to do something Halloween even though it is more than a month away!!! I asked my son if he wanted to make Halloween cards and instantly he said sure and he wanted to do it himself!

Well, looking at the Happy Hauntings cartridge he really didn't like much except for the skelton and he cut it and put it all together by himself. This is a first guys as he thought all I do it scrapbook/layouts. He did a great job and made two of them. So we had to decide what to put with it and I tell you I had no Halloween paper (well four sheets) so I ran out to Michaels and Joanns and made some purchases. Then we cut out the tombstone for the card. Love the caption M.T. Tomb (empty tomb) at first my son didn't understand and to tell all of you I didn't either at first.

For the background of the card, I have to say that I scraplifted from Creating with Christina's youtube video for the Happy Hauntings card found herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xd-BZbw2xU&feature=fvsr. Gee whiz I used to be able to highlight the word then add a link, don't know why it doesn't work anymore? Anyhoo, I liked her card so much that I made the witch from Happy Hauntings also.

I also made a cute favor box that Shery K Designs was sharing on her site which I made with Halloween paper instead of the printable that is offered with it. Here is the link: http://www.sherykdesigns-blog.com/2011/09/free-svg-printable-favors-gift-box.html?utm_source=http%3A%2F%2Fskhedrdesigns.blogspot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fposts%2Fdefault%3Falt%3Drss&utm_medium=SKhedr+Designsemail You know I really don't like all this linkage run ons! Someone please help me, I really don't like blogger anymore. This is the first time that I made a box and I have to say it wasn't too bad. But I really had no idea how to put it together at first.

Well, Happy Halloween everyone and thanks for stopping by!!!

Deja Views' Page Layout

I know it has been a while on the posting and been having a hard time adjusting to the boy's new school schedule, school bus, new after school care, and being sick for the past 2 weeks after returning home from vacationing in Colorado! I really loved going there for a first time and would recommend it to anyone. The weather is beautiful and the mountains are awesome to see! I just finished a layout of my oldest son when he was born. This will be the first page in his album and I wanted to make sure it was extra special. This is the first time that I used a layout sketch and I just can't seem to find it now. I hate it when that happens! Anyhoo, the paper is from a stack that I got at Joanns on clearance called The Sharon Ann little ones collection. It has all these vellum sheets and cardstock embellishments to go along with the paper and all I had to do is add some glossy accents, buttons and twine!

Really had a hard time leaving some blank space on the left side but hopefully all the embellishments on the right draws the eye to the picture. "Sprout" is the name that we use as an endearment nickname and at times I still call him that even though he is going on 12 years old next month. Thanks for dropping by and I promise to try to post more often!

Happy Scrapping!

Anniversary Card

Hello everyone! Gosh, I can't believe that I have not posted this card that I made for my parent's anniversary of48 years! I really didn't want to have something to fussy and was going for elegant. Don't have much time to do that while putting my boy's scrapbooks together. I hope to post some pages soon for you on those. The paper I used had a really nice verse on it and I really don't know who makes it. I just want to say that there are some really nice people out here in blog land and I have been touched with many RAK that is so unbelieveable. Thank you everyone! Oops, I am rambling....on with the card. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby ribbon packs, the flower is a lace trim that my Mom gave me, and the stamp is from the dollar bin from Joanns. Hope you like and I promise to post some more soon!

Back in Business

Well, I'm back in business!!!! My comments section is back due to a minor glitch in the post options. For some reason, my default in my post options was changed to Don't allow reader comments? Don't know why I would ever want to do this? But thanks to Leelou blogs they took a look at it and now everything is fixed! I am so excited and sorry about the trouble that all of you have been having. Now I will be back to posting!

Thanks!

Patriotic Birthday Card

I just finished making this card for my FIL, he turned 76 on July 1st and we usually get together for his birthday but this year it was cancelled. I downloaded the gingham print paper from here. She has lots of lovely papers to choose from and this one was free! Hope you like the card and I would love to here from you by leaving me a comment. Have a great 4th!

Father's Day Cards

Ok, so it has been a long time since I posted and I am really sorry for that. I got a new camera and am trying to figure out all of this stuff. Well, here it goes! I made a Father's Day card for my Dad and my hubby (from our precious canine) as my Mom had my boys and they made theirs at their Grandparent's house. I came across this neat digi paper for Father's Day and decided I just had to use it for my Dad's card! Sorry, can't remember where I got it from but it is a wonderful download. I printed it on photo paper so I could get a better print. I have to tell you I found these banner stamps at Archivers and they are just great except it is very tedious to cut all these out free hand. Needless to say my Dad liked his card as he was reading all the words from the paper.

Now, for my hubby's card, I used a recent picture of our family princess, our precious Abigail/Abby! She couldn't rest until I finished this card for her as she just adores her Dad! Needless to say it was a hit and my Hubby loved it!

Thanks for stopping by! I really enjoy your comments and I promise to post more tomorrow! I made a birthday card for my FIL as his birthday is July 1st!

Off Topic-Met Tim Tebow

Today was a beautiful day outside and I was fortunate to spend it with my fellow employees in the Jockey International Park to meet with our new spokesman Tim Tebow. This young man really has his act together and is a wonderful humanitarian. His foundation is helping our orphaned kids down in the Phillipeans by supplying them with items that they need. His foundation has already started to build a hospital down there for them.

When asked the question: "If you could meet anyone in the world and who would it be?" He answered, "Jesus, of course! Doesn't everyone?" His second choice is Abraham Lincoln, since he was a man of integrity and honesty. I would just love to pick his brain." I just have to say that we could not have picked a better person to represent our company! Below are a few picture and I am in the pink shirt standing next to him.

Jockey is so passiate about helping the adoptive children here in the US. We currently are working with a few groups with Post Adoption Services. Employees, volunteers, girl scouts are even helping out with making no sew fleece blankets for the kid's back packs. I am an Embassador on the Jockey Being Family Team and it really touches my heart for all the things a child has to go through before being adopted. These children are fighters but mostly the are just looking for a forever family.

I would like to start up a group of people to start making cards for these family to embrace their forever family and remember just how important it is to this child to make things works. Thanks for letting me rave, Enjoy the pictures!
