Happy 10th Birthday - Girl

I made two of these layouts one for me and one for my SIL and BIL. This layout is from our step nieces 10th birthday party. I am going to do the same style layout for our nephew who also turned 10 but in boy colors. The pattern paper is from DoodleBug designs, the tags, flowers in the corner of the pictures are embellishments from the dollar store. Our local dollar store has moved to a new location and they have a large assortment of scrapbooking stuff, I will be visiting there often. The number 10 I cut out on my cricut machine. The ice cream cone is a sizzit diecut that I have.

Have a fantastic day. It is gorgeous out here in upstate NY, the sun is shining and its just the perfect temperature out so we are heading out to the Tulip Festival.

And I have a belated birthday card made for my friend and I'm going to get that in the mail and my image swap that is due May 16 is also completed just need to mail. I'm so excited!!!! Just wanted to toot my own horn for a second.

Don't forget you have a little less then an hour to get in on the blog candy.

Sunday Scrappin 5/4

This day is just flying by, I can not believe the time already. Where has the day gone, wish I knew so I would go and get back a few of those hours I managed to lose this morning. If you haven't already you MUST go and check out Sunday Scrappin meme. It is a wonderful group where you post your Ta Da's (completed goals) and your Ta Do's (goals for the week) and there is no pressure if you don't complete your goals. It is a great way to help keep you focus though.

My Ta Da's

Party Pooper, mother's day cards, birthday balloons, ladybug card

My Ta Do's

I have to make a belated birhtday card for a friend
work on at least 2 scrapbook pages
start thinking about father's day card idea

This weeks question Did you go anywhere or make anything special yesterday for National Scrapbooking Day? I didn't do anything for Ntl scrapbooking day instead I took my grandmother grocery shopping and we had a nice lunch together so actually that was better then doing anything for Ntl Scrapbooking day. This weekend I will be taking part in a scrapbooking party online, looking forward to that.

Party Pooper

I made 2 of these layouts (one for me and one for my BIL and SIL). My BIL is the type of person who always the one who brags how you can party with the best of them and how he "can hang". Well this page is proof he can't hang with the 10 year olds. LOL! This picture of him was taken around 10 -10:30 the night of the kids 10th birhtday parties a few weeks ago. The title was done with rubons and the thumbs down is clipart that I printed off the internet.

Journaling reads: On April 19, 2008 we celebrated Micahel & Mariah's 10th bdays. It was a day of bouncing, food, and lots of fun. Mike and Jeff took their mother & grandmother back to the hotel after the party so those 2 could get some sleep. Jeff and Chrissy came back to Mike & Sherry's to visit some more. The next thing we notice is our host was sound asleep on the couch. Every Party has a pooper and at this particular party Mike was the pooper.

mother's day cards

My camera is finally charged so I can share the projects that I made this past week. My mother's day cards are all complete. Usually I am

making them the night before. I love the cuttlebug technique on splitcoast stampers. Both cards I used the SU From the Garden Stamp (this is a hostess stamp that you can earn for free). The card on the left I used SU Purely Pomegranate ink and the ribbon is also SU. On the card to the right I used SU Pixie pink ink. I didn't have the right thickness ribbon in the color pink for the card (I have tons of thin ribbon in pink) so I cut a strip of SU Pixie Pink cardstock instead of using ribbon (really can't tell the difference). In the center of each flower I put stickles. I made another card awhile back similar to this but in SU Orchid Opulence colored ink. The bottom of all the cards where done using the Cuttlebug Textile Embossing folder.
