Punchy Texturz Ladybugs
Monday, April 27, 2009
My mom who swears up and down she is not crafty had the idea to make ladybugs like my bunnys from Easter. Simple card but a favorite. The wings were put through the polka dot Texturz die and then topped with crystal effects. And BTW - Happy Birthday MOM! I love you!
San Diego Day 2 - A little warmer but not that much...
Sunday, April 26, 2009
These ocean sunsets make any amateur photographer look like a pro!
Jackson's first time in the ocean and it was cold! Us tourists can't resist, even if it's just wading in a bit... 
And the Californians knew to keep their distance... 
Chasing the waves for a time before he slipped and got the full experience. He immediately was saying "BLECH, blech, blech, this water tastes yucky!"
Good times!{Stamp Blogging Groups Disclaimer: Apologies for my picts of our latest trip to San Diego. I have family that view this blog as well so these are to update them with the latest.

Cheep Talk Hello

Birds are all the rage lately! Broke out the crystal effects this month. They are on the heart and bird.
San Diego Day 1 - I Will Not Eat them in a Tree...
Friday, April 24, 2009
Looks like the Doc Seuss was at a Childrens Beach in San Diego...
I will not eat them with a duck, Sam I AM, now let me be!
My Beautiful Niece, Millie. Can you believe she's only 2 - yes, very tall parents!
My wonderful boys
This was our first outing when we got into SD. It was cold and windy and I was wondering if Utah followed us there. There is a beach that was built for kids but then the sea lions came and made it their home. Gorgeous views.{Stamp Blogging Groups Disclaimer: Advance apologies for my picts of our latest trip to San Diego.

Matchbox and Petal Pizazz
Thursday, April 23, 2009
This is an April club project (see, I actually posted it in the same month!) Our theme was Mom's Day but I made it so they could use it for any occasion. I love the Parisian Breeze DSP!
It's my birthday and I'll SMILE if I want to...
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Today is my 35th birthday and it's been a good one so far! It actually started a week ago when my hubby, Jackson and I headed to San Diego for a week of no stress. We did Sea World and the beach and just had a blast with my baby brother and his gorgeous wife Mary and their cutie patootie little girl, Millie. They even made me a cake (which I don't get very often due to my husband's egg allergy) and got me a gift card for my new I-Touch I-pod (birthday present to myself!). And after a fun week, we came home last night and some of my Swappers Anonymous buds had sent me birthday cards and my mom had bought some beautiful flowers! So great! So here's a fun video of how I feel today! Wouldn't it be great to just break out in song and dance whenever you feel like it?!
YOU SMILED, didn't ya?!!!
Matchbox Messages Occasions Mini Swap
Monday, April 20, 2009
These are the swaps I made from a 3X3 and regular swap I was just in. We divided up all the sets in the new mini and I'm hoping to post some of my favorites that I received soon.
Secret Sister Gifts All Together
Saturday, April 18, 2009
Just a pict of the little cards I had with each gift for each day and all the tins put together!
Secret Sister Easter Gifts Day #3
Friday, April 17, 2009
Another item she was wanting was a spiral notebook that would hold up in her purse. So I made the cover to this notebook with Urban Garden DSP paper pack she was liking without anything that might catch and pull off. (and found a cool origami "bookmark" or corner in my rose search) I really like how the Manhattan Flower Texturz looks on the front. And I put in an elastic strap that can be pulled around the back of the notebook to keep it closed when not in use.
Secret Sister Easter Gifts Day #2
Thursday, April 16, 2009
One of the items she was hoping for were wine glass charms. I had bought some jewelry making supplies after Convention last year but never got around to making anything with them. But I did get to use Shrinky Dinks which is so fun! A lot of this was experimentation but I thought they turned out cute. I punched out flowers from the Trio Blossoms punch and made embellishments from those as well. And more Kawasaki Roses.
Secret Sister Easter Gifts Day #1
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
This is Day 1 of the gifts I gave my Secret Sister. I covered 3 tins in the colors of her craft room - Rose Red and Cameo Coral. I included a punch she hadn't yet bought and her favorite candy. Among the flowers she likes is the gardenia and the rose. I tried to make a gardenia out of paper and it was a big flop! But I found several tutorials on folding a Kawasaki Rose. It took me several days and enormous mounds of paper to finally get it down - but now I can fold one on the spot!
Secret Sister Easter Swap - Day 3
This last day was a real whopper! I have never made a milk carton box and this is so great! And look at all the fun things inside each milk carton! Thank you Easter Bunny! And my Secret Sister? - Angie Pegram! How awesome are you?! Thank you so much, you are amazing!
Secret Sister Easter Swap - Day 2
Monday, April 13, 2009
What a cute address book my secret sister made for me! She must know the fixation I have for ribbon! Don't even want to mess it up by writing in it!
Amazing Easter Message
Sunday, April 12, 2009
Hope you all are enjoying your Easter Sunday. This beautiful video is done with one of my favorite religious artists - Liz Lemon Swindle.
Secret Sister Easter Swap - Day 1
Saturday, April 11, 2009
This has been so fun. I'm involved with a fun group who organized this swap. We each were given another sister to make 3 gifts for to be opened on Fri, Sat, and Sun this weekend. Here are picts from my sister for the Day 1 gifts she made for me. I love this bunny made from the top note die! So stinking cute!
Hopping Down the Bunny Trail
Friday, April 10, 2009
Another club swap...I saw the Parisian Breeze paper and had to use it as a background. The ears on the baby bunnies are the medium sized heart in the Heart to Heart punch and then cut in half. And SU needs to bring back Liquid applique because it was so perfect for the Bunny tails. First card I've made without ribbon, buttons or brads in a long time...
Oval Frame Easter Card
Thursday, April 9, 2009
This was one of my swap cards for my March clubs. Surprise, surprise - I had a need to use the gingham ribbon which is now retired. Sigh...
Yummy baskets
Wednesday, April 8, 2009
I found these baskets at the ProvoCraft outlet and they had been sitting for nearly a year. These ended up being a club project in March and a way to showcase the ribbon, the paper and the Yummy stamp set from Sale-A-Bration.
Hoppy Easter!
Tuesday, April 7, 2009
I haven't watercolored in some time and the images from An Egg-cellent Easter were perfect. And the new corduroy buttons, love them!
An Egg-cellent Easter Tree Eggs
Monday, April 6, 2009
I saw this card on a fellow blogger's (Kryssi's) blog and thought is would be cute with the egg from an Egg-cellent Easter. Not as cute as hers but thanks for the inspiration Kryssi!
