*~ I'm back!!~*

Whew- sorry for the lull with no posts, life was just spinning by!  OK, well I will update you later this week on the FANTASTIC cupcake crop in Baton Rouge.  But first- let's step back to Valentine's Day.... I know you've already forgotten it, but here's my card.  I made this for my sweet hubby who is completely and totally addicted to angry birds.  Of course I made it using my FABULOUS Silhouette!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE that machine!  I have heard that there is a new material that will make it even more fabulous and hope to get it in the future.

Hope you like the card, it's sweet and very much my husband :)

PS sorry for the aweful quality pictures, I'm working on my sweet husband for a "good" camera for Christmas... we'll see...

*~ You are Chair-ished~*

That's today's inspiration!  As my husband and I were touring old home this past weekend, I was inspired by the antique furniture!  I have a dear friend who needs inspiration and this is just the card for her.  The card was made by welding two artisan shapes with the silhouette.  I will warn you that the glitter paper does not cut as easily and needs to be double cut. 

Hope you enjoy!

*Happy Scrappy Day!*

Happy 2011!!  I know I'm a little late~ but wish you the best year of all.  Santa was BEYOND good to me- I got lots and LOTS of scrappy toys to play with.  As work allows, I will be making new things to post.  I used my new Silhouette sketch pens to create this card.  I absolutely LOVE the sketch pens.  I don't have the blessing of perfect doodling and plan to take full advantage of this tool!  *Sorry the pictures are kind of dark.*

New item: silhouette sketch pens

~*Birthday Time*~

Well, today it's my favorite man's birthday!!  Of course he had to have a card!  We had a great cake and dinner to celebrate.  I can't believe another year has gone by so quickly.  I also have another very special birthday coming up this week, so I will be making more cards! 

The card was made using some of my old Sassa Frass Lass paper... I love that paper company!!

Have a great week!!

~*Cards & Cookies*~

Doesn't that just sound yummy? I am so VERY excited that I got a scrapbook table for our guest room over the weekend!!!  Now I can scrap and create and not have to worry about the dining table. :)  I made a card for a few friends who are very dear to my heart this week.  Also,  I was in a baking mood over the weekend and created these DELICIOUS peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies.  I WISH you could taste one!  I'm pretty excited that they turned out alright, because to be honest- I haven't baked completely from scratch in a little while (since the bread incident :) ).  Enjoy!!

Friends are Flowers Card

~* Kid Cards*~

It's back to school time for everyone- including a couple of kids who are dear to my heart!  One is starting 1st grade, and the other is playing soccer this year.  These are the encouragement cards my husband and I sent them earlier this week.  Hope you enjoy!!

Hope you enjoy them!!  Have a great day!!

Finally Back after NO INTERNET!

You read it right- NO INTERNET... it was AWEFUL... almost as bad as the 1.5 hour conversation with someone in India... but no worries I once again have internet.  So- I will do several updates in this one post.  Where to begin....

The bread disaster...  Well, I have been waiting and waiting for the perfect opportunity to bake this braided loaf- and I finally decided over the weekend to make it for a friend.  Well, if looks were everything it would have been a success... However, it was NOT as good as it looks- But Betty Crocker doesn't care about tastes, right?  oh well they will still be fun to scrap!  Maybe next time it will be better and I can actually SHARE :)

I had started this layout with a friend a couple weeks ago and didn't get to finish it.  Finally, with no internet to distract me, I FINISHED!  This was an amazing day- I had been looking and looking for some wooden earrings- and one day my grandfather said we would just make some in his wood shop.  It was amazing to create something so pretty from a scrap of wood.  His craftsmanship is truly amazing!

So... I'm not sure why BLogger loaded these sideways... and I can't get them to rotate- So sorry!! 

Last thing-so since the bread was a bust, I decided to just make a card instead.  I used the left over paper from the layout.  I had so much fun making the first card, I made several using the scraps.  It was a good, relaxing project!
