project life is fantastic! i am loving it so much this year! i have everything nicely stored in a wicker basket under my desk and i just throw little things in it all week long. when i'm ready to work on it, i just pull out the basket and everything i need is right there. this is what my dinningroom looks like when i working on it. this is the best part about project life...passing these memories on to those we love. ava can't wait to see what i put into our book. it just warms my heart to watch her looking through our album.

MIA

i know i've been MIA but life just got in the way. it's time to get back to blogging and creating! i was inspired to do this layout of Bear as a puppy after a friend lost her best furbaby. bear was such a hansome man!

where does time go....

i can't believe i haven't blog in months. life has been crazy, but when isn't it? fall is upon us and halloween is just days away. for now i'm going to leave you with these photos of our fall fun....

apple picking....

pumpkin picking

my favorite pumpkins...

just say hello

i made this card for a challenge on a message board that I belong to. the theme was just say hello, using the colors yellow and green. i love the PTI stamp of the car that i used and i especially like the matching die that you can get with the stamp set. if you like the stamp set and die you can get it here. on top of the fact that this was a fun card to make, it also placed in the challenge. i'm really enjoying making cards!

time flies and cards

i can't believe we are almost half way through the summer already. where does the time go?

here are a few of my latest cards that i've made.

this one i made for ava's dance recital. she loved it and she even asked me how i made it. it was a wonderful night for all of us. i remember sitting through so many recitals with melissa. to see ava up there on the stage dancing, brought back the same butterflies i used to get watching her mom!

here are a few cards i made for a card olymics i'm participating in on one of the message boards i belong to. i had so much fun making this red, white and blue card. i used my cricut to make the layered flag and stars. It's hard to tell from the photo, that i used a glitter glazed pen on the stripes of the flag and to make stitch lines around the navy background. i will admit that the card is pretty heavy with all the layers so it will need some extra postage for mailing.

this card was made for a fall card challenge and it won first place! I was totally caught by surprise! you know when you're not loving something and you just keep playing with it...well that was how i felt about this card, so you can only imagine my surprise when i found out that it placed! it's hard to tell from the photo, but the gold sprigs are done with glitter and the autumn greetings tag is layered and pop dotted.




thanks for visiting!

happy father's day!

happy father's day to all the dad's out there today. we have a bbq planned for later today with my dad...the best dad there is!

june is here

i can't believe it's june already! yeah...summer fun is about to begin. i plan on spending time exploring the island with ava and santana and getting some much needed relaxtion in by the shore. sounds like a great combination for new photos!

in the meantime here are two of my latest cards.

this graduation card was quick and easy, a little kraft cardstock, a border punch, butterflies, cut with my making memories slice, ribbon and some wonderful thickers.

i always find masculine cards to be a challenge. i found a good tutorial for this card and made it for my dad for his birthday. i plan on making a few more variations of it , for father's day cards.
