Last Day for the SSS Blog hop!

LAST Day!

We had terrible thunderstorms yesterday, last night through this morning and we just got power back so sorry I am a few minutes late today.

 What a crazy night with these storms! AND we slept in too long this morning b/c no alarm ...ooops!

So here is my layout. This MME patterned paper is perfect for the hexagon stamps. I think these are going to be the hot ticket! Hexagon stamps?!?!??!!????

This layout has a great story behind it so I will summarize the journaling for you. We get together with my mom's side of the family every December for Christmas. While we were together we picked a date for my Nana's 90th Birthday party this past May. Well, I get an email from my Aunt in March or so and she tells us we added wrong that Nana is only 89! hahaha...Well...we had the party anyway and it's a good thing b/c she  is in stage 4 battling lung cancer. She had such a good time and here is a layout with all the crazy cousins singing happy birthday to her.

I love love to stamp on patterned paper so I used one as an accent here. I also cut the hexagon with my exacto knife and layered strips of Core'dinations underneath it.

And here are some more of the stamps. I layered one with a sticker (run your sticker through you embossing machines for added texture. Just put them on wax paper)

Some Layouts and a Card

Happy Wednesday!

So I am super stoked for a scrappy weekend!!!

OH and mark you calendars baby. 

PINTEREST Crop at FTLOA November 11th!!!!

DEETS SOON

Here are a few layouts I created with some gorgeous My Mind's Eye that I got over at FTLOA and some Gel-a-Tins stamps.  OH and the tags are new Core tags. I LOVE these and cannot stop making  and using tags. These tags come with a gorgeous metal grommet. Love that.

{Please click on the images to make them larger and see a slide show}

I accented the circle scraps from my hole punch with the tiny stamped circles and then used some date stamps on the tag.

stamps :)

These are paisley stamps that I cut out and then fanned under the vintage button.

Same technique here. Cut out the MME Core sentiment from the MME mini Core pad and inked it. 

And this gorgeous acrylic flower is exclusive FTLOA :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Shouldn't every day be mother's day??

It should!

When I saw this Get Picky challenge I almost fell over. I have these photos and

I saved this butterfly from the hanging plant brian and the boys

got for me for Mother's Day. They always get me a few of these and I

just love them! 

That and a case of beer. What more can a mom want???  :):):)

NSD Hangover!

So how much did you get done over NSD? I had an absolute blast working and getting time to scrap all day Saturday. The best part is, is that owen and henry hung with me in my room all day, too, so we got to spend some fun time together.

I joined in some challenges over at Big Picture Scrapbooking and ACOT and FTLOA.

Here are two layouts I did this weekend.

The first one is with a photo from our weekend at Philly watchin' the Phils

spank the Mets ;)

Here is a close up of the Glitter Silk Core'dinations. It punches like a DREAM!
And I ran it through my Cuttlebug for the star. Love it against the wood veneer from Studio Calico.

And a lo about me. I was inspired by Stacy Julian so I had to use her Core'dinations Core Impression line! And do you like the martini glass? YUM! I used my Cricut and some more Core.

This cute little stamps is from Gel-a-tins. Loads of My Mind's Eye on here from FTLOA.

AND DON'T FORGET TO MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!!
