This dog is so funny

Nearly every time we drive by this house, the cute little dog is sitting and/or walking on top of the wall. Today we stopped to take a picture.

He just barked at us. He's so cute!

Happy Birthday class

I'm preparing kits right now for my next class. We're doing summery birthday cards. There are a total of 5 cards for the class.

Here's just one of them. I ripped apart a vintage dictionary for part of it. All stamps are from Technique Tuesday.

Hello Bee and Blog Hop with candy

At Bitten By the Bug 2, Donna asked us to use the bee from Sentimentals. This is my FIRST welded card. I used the Gypsy to weld 2 bees together. I love shaped cards! Watch out world, I have a feeling I'm going to be welding everything. ;)

Stamps are from Technique Tuesday.

It was Katrina's idea to add the flowers around the neck. Katrina is always at my craft table, hovering around and putting flowers, ribbons or bling on my projects. Remember the Tweet card? She had to add the flower button and even hand cut the stem. Sometmes I find it rather annoying because I'm always looking over her, but I realize this phase isn't going to last very long and soon she won't want to "hang with mom" at all. So, I let her help whenever she wants. She also loves my Gypsy and I've taught her how to use it.

Do your kids/grandkids play with your Cricut? Have you taught them how?

Now, we're hopping this week. So be sure to leave a comment to be eligible for the prize below. It's Making Memories stickers, KI epoxy stickers and some Prima brads. After you leave your comment, please visit Krista for another chance to win some great stuff.



sorry this picture is a bit out of focus. It just goes to show that one can have a really expensive camera and still mess up the focus. ;)

I made the title using my Gypsy and welding the letters together.

Recipe card

We were challenged at BBTB2 to use the Ice Cream Tab cut from the From My Kitchen cart. When I looked at it, all I saw was a recipe card. I'm AMAZED at what the other girls did with the cut. They just blow me away each time.



Also, something is eating our cactus. Isn't that a weird picture? They're climbing to the top of the leaf and eating down. It seems like if I was a little fuzzy creature eating cactus, I'd be starting at the ground level. Wouldn't you?

I guess this is a follow up to my previous post

I just discovered Katrina had written her name ON HERSELF! Do you see the "Q" on her left leg? That's short for "cutie". *sigh*

A few days ago, I posted a layout on how Katrina has to write her name on everything. I never expected her to write on herself.




I'm not happy about this at all. Nope. Not at all.

Yes, that is a plastic lizard on her leg.

That's Impressive

This is a little story about Katrina and how she has to write her name on EVERYTHING.


This was made with scraps I have sitting around my desk. It's a little cleaner around here now. I also used some Maya Mist.


Katrina refused to let me take her picture on Easter with her new pretty dress unless she was holding her brother's bright orange Bionicle. Thank goodness Crate Paper made a collection that was perfect for this picture. ;)

thanks for looking.

Carole picked the cut for this week at BBTB2. She chose the rick rack cut from Plantin Schoolbook.

Here's what I came up with:


I also used the new Create a Critter cart. Katrina INSISTED that the card needed a flower, so she hand cut a stem and stuck it on there with a pink flower shaped button. She wanted to add some orange Stickles somewhere but I really put my foot down for that suggestion.

I also used the new Easter cart from Cricut. The font is Lyrical Letters.

happy Easter!

There is always someone that is upset

about something. In this case, Trent didn't want to sit next to his sister for my "little garage photo shoot". So, I took pictures of him crying instead. Yes, I'm mean like that.


After all of that fun, we decorated eggs. The first thing happened...purple dye spilled all over the counter and the floor.


Who needs an egg holder when you have your fingers, right?

Stop

The first thing I told Trent when I bought him this gun for his costume was, "Do not point the gun at people or animals."

Teddy

is our neighbor's dog. We've been watching her this week. She is just the sweetest thing. I guess it's a good thing that Kat is more into Beanie Babies than dolls. It's so funny to watch her walk around with this doll in her mouth. She's very delicate with it. There is no chewing or biting....just carrying.

are you feeding my fish?

Did you notice that I added little fish to my blog? They're so cute. When you click on the image, it drops fish food and they all scurry to get it.

anyway, here are some layouts:


Fancy Pants Glitter Cuts. I love to layer them. I also used a little Glimmer Mist on this, too.


BasicGrey Green at Heart. Plus, a whole bunch of other stuff. Doesn't Katrina look so excited? It reminds me of this post....click here.

Thanks for looking. :D

Trenton won't hold my hand anymore

The title has nothing to do with my post. It's just a reminder for me when I do my next layout that on March 26, 2010, Trenton refuses to hold my hand. He also doesn't want to walk with his sister and her classmates because it's embarrassing to walk with the little kids. *sigh*

Here are some layouts I have yet to post here.

more Sassafras Lass. This time chipboard and felties.

Oh, and look! This isn't Sassafras Lass. It's October Afternoon.

Thanks for looking and thanks for your comments.

Happy Birthday card

At Bitten by The Bug, we were to use the Cake2 cut from Sweet Treats.

You win some you lose some....I just don't like the way this turned out.

Air Show

We went to the air show today. I took a few pictures. I love messing with them in Picnik.

Great Grandpa's Hats

My grandfather's WWII uniform was handed down to Trenton. He LOVES American history and thought this was the coolest thing ever. He would wear the uniform every day except for the fact that it's just a bit too big and it's itchy because it's made of wool. He's so proud of these hats and he wears them quite frequently. He even wore them to school for a few days. In fact, he's wearing one of them right now as I type this.
