A Yummy Valentine

I just can't stop today. I have all kinds of ideas flowing through my head, I was good I wrote them now. I'm really excited about the card I'm going to make for Jeff, not sure if it will be the Valentine or a birthday card. Hmm...still have to figure that part out.

For this card here the House Mouse stamped image was from my stash. A few years back on a message board I hosted a House Mouse stamped image swap and I got some cute ones in return. The background paper I had in my stash. I matted it onto purple cardstock. After I was done I thought the card was missing something. Some people love to layer well I love to pop dot everything. If its missing something and the card isn't "popping at me" I use pop dots. I'm serious. For some of the candies on the pattern paper I pop dotted them. Cute little valentine card. One last thing to share then I will shut up and go to bed. While making the card I was thinking I love these cute little House Mouse mice and I worship Mickey Mouse but yet if a little mouse was to creep into our house I would bug out and scream and run. Very interesting!

Sunday Scrapper Update

Today I woke up I organized my paper rack then I sat at my craft table and haven't moved. I made a card (the valentine boxer card) and then went right into making my 2 page layout of the Disney All Star Music Hotel. I really don't know what gotten into me today, I'm not complaining at all. LOL! Usually when I make a layout I have to draw it out then debate, then debate some more what pictures to use, then scan the internet for page maps then go back to debate which pictures then I scrap. But no not today. I printed the pictures sat down and it just all came to together. I hope many more days like this are in the future. Before I knew it my goals for the week were already completed and its only Sunday. So I am going to set some more goals for this week.

This week additonal goals:

I have 2 card ideas that I want to make
I would also like to complete another scrapbook page this week.

Boxer Short Valentine

Today I made this cute little boxer short valentine. I used DCWV Sweetheart paper that I had in my stash. Thought this paper would make cute little boxer shorts kind of like the silky ones you see in the store. For the buttons I used 2 silver heart brads. The ribbon is from All That Scraps. Sorry, I'm not sure where I found the template at, I saved it to my documents.

Disney All Stars Music Hotel

During our trip to WDW in 2006 we stayed the week at Disney's All Star Music Hotel. This is the layout I made today.

The paper is from SEI Kaboom Gotcha Green. Along the top and bottom of the pages I used a wheel stamp that I got at Michaels of musical instruments and notes, rolled it in SU Handsome Hunter ink. I colored some of the muscial notes in black to match up with the journaling box. The journaling box I had for a long time it come with a bunch of other journaling blocks. It was to small for my layout so I enlarged it on my scanner/printer. The hotel logo in the middle I printed from a Site that has all the disney hotel logos. I printed the logo onto cardstock and then printed again and then cut out the banner part of "Music" and popped dotted it onto the first printout. On page 2 in the upper right hand corner is a pocket envelope with Mickey & Friends that I bought, it holds our tickets ("to the world").

We would like to go back to WDW next year. So my goal for the year is to complete my disney album. Still have a lot to do.

Sunday Scrapper #9

My Ta Da's for this week were the Snow Dog page and the Have a Poppin Birthday Card (see below).

This weeks question is: If you could only do one kind of paper crafts for the rest of your life, which craft would you pick? At first I thought ONLY ONE! Then quickly came to mind was cardmaking. My family would be highly disappointed if I gave up cardmaking. They look forward to the card more then the gift. Serious! For example the one christmas we didn't handout handmade christmas cards because I wasn't not in the spirit or mood to make cards being that our baby passed away a few weeks earlier to SIDS. So we handed out regular store bought cards, each were individual picked for each person, just like if I was making cards. When they opened the cards you can see the look of disappointment on there face, especially my sister but no one said anything they understood.

This weeks goals:

*Complete a scrapbook layout of some sort (disney, buddy, holidays, etc.)
*Complete a card of some sort (anniversary, birthday, valentine etc.)

Snow Dog

I first want to start by saying that this page layout was scraplifted from the CTMH Autumn/Winter 2007 Idea Book page 64.

Buddy loves, I stress loves the snow whether its playing in it or eating it. Yes, the top left hand picture (the largest picture on the page) is a picture of the dog with a mouth full of snow. I will sit on the ground in front of him and throw snowballs at him. We love watching him catch them. I just want to clarify -- we never ever throw or play in the yellow snow.

For the squares, journal box, and all the lettering I used the cricut george cartridge. In the mail today which arrived at a great time was a package from my Birthday club on the cricut message board and inside was Snow Writer, I used that on the letters to give it the snow look, must add I love this stuff and need to find out where I can buy more, especially since I do a lot of snow pages. The snow flakes are from CTMH Snowman Holidays Stamp Set. I love these pictures of buddy on this page, he is my baby!!

Journaling Reads: Jan. 01, 2008 - Buddy loves to play in the snow. He especially loves to eat the snow. Buddy also loves to stick his head into the snow. When you throw a snowball to Buddy you better throw it fast otherwise he will charge you for it and you can always guarantee he will catch it in his mouth. Buddy is our snow dog!

I am pleased to say that another week as passed, and once again my goals have been completed. I wasn't feeling great today but I knew all of you were watching and I knew I had to suck it up and get those goals done. So thank you for keeping close tabs on me. LOL!
