counting down the hours...

Until work is over tonight! Cannot wait for a nice looooooooooooooooooooong weekend with absolutely nooooooooooooooooooooooothing to do! I have been in the scrappy mode over the last few weeks, I guess it is the Holidays just make me feel crafty and I hope to get a lot done over this weekend. I haven't even started a holiday journal yet.

OH...and did you see that little snippet over on the right hand corner of my blog? Webster's Winter Wonderland! Save the dates, ladies. It is going to be huge! HUGE! HUGE!

I wanted to share with ya'll a layout I created with the Magistical Memories Sketch this month. This is one of my all time favorite photos. Henry just looking so small but fearless in this photo. I used lots of Pink Paislee Old School on here that I got from For the Luv of Art. OH and how could I forget my circle cutter from Just Imagine crafts? LOVE that thing to make big circles FAST.

How cute is that little Jillibean Soup car!

Have a SAFE and Happy Holiday everyone!

For the Magistical Memories chipboard, I used my Quickutz handle and embossing plate and just randomly embossed the dots. Then I went crazy with the Lemon Zest Glimmer Mist.

Thanksgiving week begins....

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Brain and I had a blast in NY! I can't wait to get my photos loaded and ready to show this week. I love love the city so much. Until then, I have a layout I wanted to share with you that I created last week with lots of Webster's Hollywood Vogue line. I was inspired by the Color Combo Galore Challenge and the Candy Shoppe Girls challenge to use animals/animal prints. I found this fun blog by accident while I was just surfing blog land and I have to laugh, my kids LOVE the music they have over there. Owen and Henry love to dance so now they keep asking me to go back to that site and let it play, LOL! OH and make sure you make it to the Webster's chat tonight. HUGE announcement...YES..another one!!!

Oh and don't forget to check out the Webster's contest at Two Peas...150 bucks worth of product! I am sure you saw the stamps by now but just in case you didn't....click here to check them out ..they are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

Love these guys! I used my Cuttlebug and the leopard print folder and added some of the silver trim. this stuff is the COOLEST!


I sprayed the embellishment with glimmer mist and then sealed it spray glaze b/c i wanted it to be purple :) I just love purple so I went nutso with the mist and splattered it. Felt very freeing and artsy!

THANK YOU!!!

First off, I have to say a HUGE thank you for all of your support for the blog hop this weekend!!!

It was SO much fun and the amount of support ya'll gave for Webster's is beyond amaZing! We will be announcing winners tonight at the Chat. Don't forget to stop by at 6 PST/EST in the forum where we always meet for the winners. And I will post it on my blog, too.

Here are some cards I wanted to share with you that I created using Webster's New Hollywood Vogue Line. The colors in this line are STUNNING! I was inspired by the Unity Stamp WCMD challenges. The first one is a Shaker Card...can you believe that I made one of these? First one! AND I used the Webster's Vellum for it.

This one was for a handmade flower card so I layered and layered some Spellbinder's dies...

And here is another card. I printed the Happy Birthday wishes on the computer, used some Tattered Angels glimmer mists on the chippy, embossed the houndstooth to match the butterfly and used some Dimensionals.

Only 5ish more days left

of February....man on man...if it wasn't for henry's birthday and shamrock shakes, I am not sure how I would have made it this long....

right now I am battling a major case of pink eye...it is NASTY, LOL....but I just have to laugh at myself for being such a goof and getting this kind of stuff. i mean, my eye is pasted shut and leaking gross...hahahaha

And...speaking of being a goof.....GUESS WHAT'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! give me back that filet-o-fish...give me that fish...give me back that filet-o-fish...give me that fish... if it you were hanging up on this wall...if it were you in that sandwich you wouldn't be laughing at alll!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay...on a serious note...............here is my Cuttlebug Be Inspired #72 Project for a Wall Hanging. I used the NEW {happy dance} Webster's Lullaby Lane papers on here!!! I actually used the 6x6 paper pad and sewed them together to mimic a quilt. This is a 12x12 piece of cork and I though it would make a great wall hanging for a nursery to document all the fun little things we see every day with our little ones. The heart is one of the 6x6 diecuts and they are AMAZING!!!!

The journal cards come pre-scripted with things to document....

Some embossing with my Moraccon folder {my fave, LOL!}

And on here, I made a little booklet with the journal cards and a tag from my stash. I ran the tag through my Cuttlebug and then sprayed all sorts of Glimmer Mist on it.

Some more Glimmer Mist goodies from Tattered Angels {swoooooooon!} And I ran the Webster's journal spot through the Cuttlebug, too. I love love love to emboss patterned paper.

Websters Plus Tattered Angels =

Win a mSB stamp set here!!!

Websters and Tattered Angels did a product swap so we got some awesome TA goodies!!! I swear I am the luckiest girl in the world!

oh..before I get started on the scrapping stuff...rib off was a BLAST! soooo much fun...i will get some pics posted when I get them loaded. I have to say I smelled like meat the next morning, LOL...GROSS! but yummy while we were tasting ;)

In addition to Websters papers and trim, I used Deep Plum and English Ivy Glimmer Mists and the Nature Field Notes Screen Print clear stamps from Tattered Angels.

I sprayed the Deep Plum Glimmer mist on the Webster's pink trim and it altered the color from pink to purple. It took about 10 pumps to get it coated and it dried very quickly. I used the Field notes screen print to create the stamped image along the bottom. I used my brayer and plastic mat {TA puts very easy directions on the back of these stamps} and then Suede Glimmer Mist. I sprayed my mat, rolled the brayer across it, let it dry a bit and then stamped my image.

This is what the trim looked like before the Deep Plum Glimmer Mist....


After......

I had so much fun the first time that I made a coordinating card!!!!!!!!
