Wow 2012!

It is hard to believe it is 2012!  With the new year comes new resolutions . . . mine is to start working on "MY" life and doing more of the things "I" love, like blogging :)   This past year has been a crazy whirlwind and with that I seem to have stopped doing alot of the things I enjoy.  Life is busy with 4 kids but it is time to make a little time for me.

What's your resolution for this year??

From now on I am going to try to post a few times a month and post all or any of my creations from card making right down to happenings in the home.  Hope you'll stop by and check out my posts.

For today I thought I would share a cute craft that I found on Pinterest and decided to try my hand at my own take.  I made this for my daughters teacher for Christmas.

The mini chalk board features the grade written in chalk so it can be changed if the teacher changes grades!  How clever!!

Thanks for stopping in and I look forward to more 2012 blogging with you all!!

I am still around . . .

Yes it is a miracle!  I am actually here . . . posting, who would have thought.  Life has been soooooo crazy lately, I don't even know where to begin.  I have not been scrapping as much as usual infact I recently resigned from my spot on the Created with Paper Design Team simply due to lack of time.  Sad but True!  However . . . Every week I do post a card creation over on Die Cuttin' Diva's so if it is not posted here be sure to check it out there.  Here is my card for this week:

Now your probably wondering what I have been doing with my time since I have not been scrapping much.  Well as you know I have 4 kids, babysit and I work part time so that in itself keeps me pretty busy but I have also taken up a new obsession . . . I mean craft ;)  CROCHETING . . .  and I love it!!!  I have been making hats, here are a few:

BABY BEANIE WITH JUMBO FLOWER

NEWBORN GIRL TEDDY HAT WITH FLOWER

RETRO SUN HAT (check out my little model)

  

NEWBORN CUPCAKE HAT

So in the future not only will I be posting my paper creations I will also be posting my crocheting, cake creations and much more so be sure to pop in and check them all out.

Thanks for stopping in!

Diva Challenge

It is time for another challenge over Die Cuttin Diva's and this week we are working with my favorite types of cards . . . Baby Cards!!!  These are so much fun to make and the possibilities for them are endless, with all the fabulous baby and child inspired pattern papers. 

This weeks challenge is to make a "baby" themed project and include a baby animal die cut.  Remember any die cut machine can be used to create your master piece.

Here is the card I made for this weeks challenge:

I used my Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge to cut the little lamb.  This cartridge has so many great cuts on it, not just the paper dolls!

I cannot wait to look at all your creations this week!  Happy Scrappin Ladies!!

 

Sketch Time at the Diva's

March Already???  Seriously?  I cannot believe it! 

The beginning of the month is such a crazy busy time and I always feel like I am loosing it!  This month is no different. LOL  In amoungst the craziness is the first Challenge of the month over at Die Cuttin' Diva's.  On the first of every month we feature a sketch, the only trick to our sketches it that you must use a die cut, any machine, any theme so the sky is the limit!

Here is this months sketch:

and here is my take on it:

I am not really happy with this card but you can't win them all and my time has been limited lately so there is no take 2 on this one.

I can't wait to see what you all do this month's sketch!
