paintin' in the house!

phew...

what a crazy week. man o man. we are painting the kitchen {edging is done}, the  entry way by the garage {done}, master bedroom and foyer/stairs upstairs/hallway upstairs. AND we are having a garage sale in 3 weeks so our garage...is literally....FULL! but i could not be more excited to sell this stuff and hopefully pay for a cuttlebug {shhhhhhhhhhh, the scrubster doesn't know that yet! LOL}

i have a little something here to share...i made this the other week from some AWESOME pageframe butterflies! i loooooooooooooove these things and this is my SECOND pack. sharon over at HSS sells them and is the owner of Pageframes.

i love little acrylic shapes {almost} as much as i love acrylic albums :) for these, just take your heat gun and heat up the middle of the butterfly until it begins to get soft {PLEASE use your tweezers for this!}. Once it gets soft, turn off the gun and bend the butterfly. Hold it there until it cools --it doesn't take long-- and voile! you have bent acrylic shapes.

I added some of my Mimosa Glimmer Mist to this frame. This frame is actually from an old Scarlet Lime kit i got awhile ago. 

Don't forget to check out the Bean Talk blog, I have a card over there!

Cards & Stuff!

My mom came yesterday and she brought her issue of cards and I got to the graduation section and I found I got a two page spread! woot woot! This isn't the greatest photo but I have to send it to my sister ;)

Here is a thank you card i did with some MME I got at Happy Scrappin' Scrapbooking. Mark your calendars for National Scrapbooking Weekend! We will be having festivities there. I used my Kaisercraft Rubons across the chipboard.

AND DON'T FORGET! PAPER TRUNK BLOG CROP! They started the festivities yesterday and it goes through May 2nd. They kicked it off yesterday with an Earth Day challenge. I am sure you know how earth friendly their products are, which is very important today and in our houseold here. The first challenge was to do something round or rounded on a layout b/c the Earth is round. love that.

I also got my package from Emma's Paperie and it came wrapped all fabulously! another HUGE thank you for the give-a-way!

Well, it has been a long few weeks but FUN! the beach was awesome and the wine festival this weekend ROCKED!i had a blast but now it is time to get back to reality. OH! and we found an awesome place for sushi when we were looking at houses. YUMMY! it was so good. we put our house on the market so say a prayer for us or send some positive house selling vibes our way!

Here are a few things I have been working on. This one was for a challenge over at Simply Obsessed to have a 3D obect on your page. I used mostly Scarlet Lime goodies.





This one is for the HSS upload day. Celebrating St. Patty's Day with some green beer! how perfect is that felt fusion from Queen & Co.!?




This last one is my final entry for the Gauntlet at Scrapperie. Didn't make it all the way but it was a blast! I always love a good contest! I used my kit from Simply Obsessed that i am, well, obsessed with! LOL!

Hi! PHEW! what a week it has been. I just don't get where the time goes anymore. I did find a new favorite thing though...sleeping in with Henry! haha...we snuggle and it is fun...man oh man do we have a snuggler on our hands! But the good thing is, he sleeps on his own too so I am just in shock how amazing he is.

I was really excited to get some layouts done this weekend. I got to work with some really great stuff from HSS! That sharon is so generous. This MOD paper is awesome. I mean the color combo i just love...red, yellow, and blue! Makes me excited for spring!!!







And of course, some Love, Elsie. An oldie but goodie! With a button from Holly Terra, so cute!

All I have to say is, WOW! the DT call over at Serendipity Scrapbooks is over and it was so amazing. I cannot believe all of the amazing entries, I am so glad I am not Kristen! Such a tough decision.

The HSS upload got pushed back so I have a few sneak peaks for you from there and Serendipity Scrapbooks. I am so lucky to get to work with all of these products!

From HSS I used Glitz Papers and Doodlebug Products!




From Serendipity Scrapbooks I got to use the Just Enough Kit!
