“Me” Time

The new year is in full swing and we have made all of our New Years resolutions. The diets are under way, we’re hitting the gym hard and we have all promised to make this year be all about us! 2010 is all about putting us first. I have always been one to keep my house spotless and keep up on the laundry to make sure that the kids are taken care of. Running kids around from place to place, helping out down at the school and working a full time job—I stay pretty busy. I love to join and host swaps that I sign up for online.

18th Birthday Card

The new year is upon us and birthdays are starting all over again. It seems we are all trying to find different ideas and layouts for the perfect card. I like to look all over the web for some of the best designs. I am always on websites seeing what is the latest craze. This week’s Fabulous Find winner, Toni,

Snowman Book

I don't know about the rest of the world but Idaho is seeing its share of snow this year. One thing that stays even once the snow clears is the evidence of where a snowman once lay.

Ornaments

Everywhere you look it seems like holiday goodies and decorations are bursting at the seams and yet I can never get enough! Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year because it is an excuse to get in my craft room and make things for people. I especially enjoy homemade ornaments. I love to take time as I trim the tree to remember the meaning behind each and every ornament.

Birthday Card-Hummingbird with flower

Cards are a great way to express oneself. They are fun to give and fun to receive and most importantly, fun to make. The Pazzles' cutter allows us to make unique cards that you can't find in the store. Also, when you make it yourself the words are always perfect.

Gobble Til U Wobble

This two page layout by Melinda Beltran really says it all. The family is all with us. We have worked hard preparing the feast that is in front of us. The only thing left is to Gobble away baby, Gobble away. I am sure you will all agree Melinda has an awesome gift when it come to paper piecing.

Traditions

We only have a few days until Thanksgiving. All of us are working hard to make sure we have everything prepared and have taken care of those last minute details for the big day. I think some of us stress out so much because we know that once Thanksgiving is here Christmas is just a hop, skip and a jump away. We can lose sight of how special the day is. Growing up I can remember all the wonderful traditions we had.

Happy Birthday Monkey card

I don't know about you guys but I am a very tactile person. I love to feel and touch. ( I was always being told as a child " we look with our eyes not our hands".) That is why digital scrap booking is not my cup of tea. I love how paper feels and smells.

Boys

In our society it seems to be a girls world. Girls have tons of things to choose from whereas boys are left with far less options. You can find 10 different cute outfits for girls while only 2 for boys. It is no different in the scrapbook industry. There are tons of girl geared papers and embellishments and only a few for boys.

Aloha Scrapbook Page

I love the way a scrapbook page can take us back every time we look at it. Or the page has the same ability to take a person on the journey who was not there to begin with. I have always wanted to go somewhere tropical like Hawaii or St Maarten. With winter just around the corner and our fall being colder than ever I look for comfort and warmth in those past photographs and scrapbook pages.

Sweet Sandia Watermelon

Mini Pages

Have you ever wanted to purchase something and decided not to, but afterward you can't stop thinking about it! I have had that problem with so many of your projects. Unfortunately I can only pick one each week

Winter Day

This weekend it was very cold and it seemed to be an indoor play day. With two boys, staying indoors can be kind of problematic. They have a lot of energy to get out.

Pumpkin Treat Holder

Another week is upon us, and I’m at it once again to find that special project. I don't know about you, but I’m having a hard time keeping up with all the fun projects being uploaded. With each project I’m continuing to find more and more inspiration. I can't believe all the entries!

Thanksgiving and Winter Nugget Boxes

It's so exciting to see all of the new project uploads! I can see you all have been hard at work and from the looks of your projects; I am going to have my work cut out for me! Really is there ever a bad project? Even the creations where we think "Wow, what was I thinking?" our fellow crafters see it for its uniqueness.
