CD Cover

I took loads of pictures while in CT this past weekend. I made my BIL & SIL a copy of all the pictures. I wanted to make a neat little holder to for the CD. It came out okay, I did it in a rush last night I wanted to get it in the mail today (which I'm proud to say I did get it in the mail today). Click here for the template, I had to enlarge it a little on my scanner to get the CD to fit just right. The pattern paper I believe I got at the dollar store awhile back in a pack. The stickers I don't recall where they came from neither.

SIDE NOTE: I forgot to give my sister her Thank you card for watching the dog so I mailed it to her today (she likes getting mail). So be on the lookout and I will post that card in the next few days. Speaking of my sister please say a pray for her she is at the Urgent care right now she fell off her bicycle and they think she broke her hand/arm. Can tell it's the start of summer when the kids start getting banged up.

As always thank you for checking out my blog. I appreciate all of your support. This weekend also be on the lookout for some blog candy.

Sunday Scrappin April 20

It's Sunday so that means it's time to post my week's Ta Da's and week's To Do's. As I have told you before week after week Sunday scrappin is a wonderful group, you need to check it out if you haven't already.

This past week I didn't think I would get anything done craft wise because I was working overtime every day and then we went to CT for the weekend. We had a wonderful time in CT, our niece and nephew are to adorable, we will be taking many more trips to visit them. I am glad everyone is talking again and getting along, it's wonderful. Back on track - here are my Ta Da's for the week (I'm impressed I got these done).

My BIL and SIL loved and I can't stress the word love enough the scrapbook pages (I made 2 of each page 1 for them and 1 for us)

Ta Do's

Right now my Ta Do is to go to bed I'm beat (LOL)
Get all the birthday pictures from this past weekend onto CD
Mail a set of the pictures to my SIL and BIL
Make at least one scrapbook page

Bonus Question:
Where is your favorite place to get craft supplies? I really don't have a favorite craft store. I usually go to either Joann's, Michaels, or Joann's if they are having a sale then I love to go there especially if its a good sale.

Last Page of the week

Last night I made one more scrapbook page of my cute little niece. I'm waiting to hear from my brother in law because I need to have a little chat with him. Don't get me wrong the outfit she wore was cute and all but I'm not a red type of person and I don't have many red scrapbooking items or colors that I could use that would look well. I will tell them next time before dressing her call and make sure it works with my scrapbooking stuff I have on hand. The page layout came from Valerie's Sketches (click for page map) I love her blog. For the S I don't have any chipboard that would work with this (sad I only have one type of chipboard letters and they are to pretty to alter) so I cut the S on my cricut machine and then I used the negative part as a pattern and traced it onto cardboard because I wanted a little weight to it so I could tie the ribbon around because the cardstock was thin and the ribbon would have crushed it.

This will probably (notice I said probably) be my last post for the week. Have a great weekend and chat with you when I return from my mini vacation that I so need after this crazy week!

Card recipe:

Vanilla/Cream cardstock is from CTMH (not really sure the name of it)

Pattern paper is from DCWV Everyday paper packet (great pack of paper)

The stamp image under the flower is a clear Hedi Swap stamp set

SIlly Faces

Yesterday my BIL & SIL came from CT with the kids. The little girl is 2 1/2 and what a doll. I took a dozen pictures of her to scrapbook. The faces this kid makes are so funny and she can do them right on command, you tell her make a sad face she does or make a serious face she does and within seconds her facial expression changes. Even if you aren't asking her to make a face still her facial expressions are priceless. I colored in her face for security purposes (not sure if mom and dad will approve of her face on the web) but I left her mouth for you to see to get an idea of some of the faces. I made 2 of these layouts (one for myself and one for my BIL/SIL times like this I think I really should give a try at digital scrapbooking).

Card Recipe:

PAPER:SU Real Red Cardstock, Pattern Paper is from Stash

Letters in title are from Cricut George Cartridge, the face is from Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge (chalked the cheeks and put a brad in the bow)

Sunday Scrappin April 13

It's my favorite part of the week (well besides Friday at 4:30 when I get off from work). It's Sunday Scrappin time where you have a great opportunity meet other talented crafters and you post your Ta Da's (goals completed in the previous week) and your Ta Do's (goals you want to complete this week). It's a great group and there is no pressure. Check it out, you'll be glad you did.

My Ta's Da's:

First I want to say I'm a little upset on my Ta Do's for last week I mentioned I wanted to do a scrapbook page. I ordered the ink from Dell so that I could print out my pictures the ink came and then I misplaced it. I finally went to sit down the other night and do a page I had everything out and I couldn't find the ink. Jeff helped me look no where could it be found. Guess what we found today.....yup the ink.

It's that time of year where there is a birthday coming up every time you turn around, or an anniversary or something that you need a card for. So this past week I mad several more cards. I made my sister a Thank you card because she will be dog sitting this coming weekend but I can't post that one just yet. I have 2 to share: Get Well Card http://chrissyscreativespot.blogspot.com/2008/04/get-well-card.html

My Ta Do's

This week will be a quiet week because I have to work overtime all week and then at the end of the week we are going to CT for our niece and nephews birhtday party.

This week's question:

What's your least favorite project that you've done lately, and why? My most recent project that I made and I am not liking is this card http://chrissyscreativespot.blogspot.com/2008/04/tool-box-for-father.html it could be the colors but I'm just not pleased with it at all. I redid the card in different colors and style and it is much better.

Thank you Card

Last night I made a thank you card for my sister who be dog sitting next week. I can't post that one until I give it to her. So be patient (please) and I will post her card next Sunday.

The thank you card that I made for my BIL and SIL I can share. Next weekend we are going to CT for a weekend trip for our niece and nephew's birthday party. We have not talked to my BIL in over 7 years. We will be spending the night at their house and the next day the SIL and I will be hitting the scrapbooking stores before returning home. Also my BIL rented us a car for the weekend. So I wanted to give them a Thank you card.
