Just Chillin'

One of my co-workers just got a cat and her name is Jade. She has been trying to get used to their three yorkies, Gracie, Max and Priscilla. Well Jade has figured out that if she hides in the house plants or on the coffee and end tables she can reach the top of the yorkies head and swat at them and they can not get to her.. They took a picture of her in one of her favorite places and I could not miss the chance to scrap a page for them. I hope you enjoy the layout as much as I enjoyed putting it together for them. 

Happy 8th Birthday Card

My nephew turned 8 years old this June. I am not sure where the time has gone...I decided that this year I would try to make him a birthday card instead of running out and buying him one. I took my gypsy and used the Graphically Speaking cartridge and linked the number 8 together on a sheet of white cardstock. Using my cricut markers I printed this out.  Then using the best grouping i cut out the eights and laid them on top of some blue and yellow cardstock. I think it turned out pretty neat... I don't use the cricut markers that often but when I do remember to use them I really like how my projects turn out. I hope you enjoy the card.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dad's out there... We have been doing all sorts of things with my husband this weekend to celebrate Father's Day.  So I have not had a lot of time to post anything recently.
But I promise I will  in the next couple of days. Again hoping all the dads out there have a wonderful day...

Looking at Past Layouts

Today I was looking thru some of my olde layouts and thought why not share some of them with you all. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed putting them together..

Zebra Valance

Well first I want to thank my best friend Debbie and my daughters boyfriend Andy. They both helped me so much in getting this project completed. We have decorated my daughters room with an accent of using zebra straights. So Andy and I went and bought the wood and then attached the wood together. after this was completed we bought 3 yards of zebra print material. Headed to my Friend Debbie's house where she had all the other supplies I would need to finish completing the project. Which would be a staple gun and hot glue gun. As you can see below is how we put it together. I ended up buying to much material for the Valance so I have decided to make some throw pillows for her room as well.

Basketball Thank you Cards

My husband Pat and my youngest daughter Kassidy volunteered to coach the young girls basketball team for the rec club by our house. their last game was this week and so we made the girls all thank you cards for playing so hard this season. I think the girls enjoyed the cards as well as the chocolate that we gave them.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

It has been so crazy here at my house and I have not been able to post anything for some time. With the end of school around the corner my daughters have had tons of end of the year projects due for school so I have not been able to do any crafting.. I am hoping that will be changing in a couple of days. I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!!!
