My Sons Flag Project

I got this idea from Sarah over at www.pinkcricut.com but of course I changed it up a little.

Supplies
-2 pcs 8 1/2 X 11 white card stock
-Red & Blue Crayola Paint
-Paint Brush
-White Glitter
-Paste
-Paper Trimmer

We took one pc of card stock and cut 5 stips of 1in X 11in to use for the stripes

and we took the remaning 3 1/2 in strip and cut at 5in to be used for the blue behind the stars

and the remaaining pc of 3 1/2 X 6 was used to cut 10 stars from the George & Basic Shapes cart at 1 1/4 in

Then we painted the stripes red and the square pc of 3 1/2 X 5 blue.


We then took the remaining pc of 3 1/2 X 6 cardstock and cut 10 stars from the George & Basic Shapes and glittered those with white glitter.


Then we put our project together.

Throwback Thursday Entry

Here is my entry for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challange over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com. Since I do not have Doodlecharms I used my oldest cartridge instead George and Basic Shapes for the font and the stars.

Here is the card I made for my Husband for Father's Day. In my house we always say I heart (and we make a heart shape with our hands) you. So the 3 Owls are supposed to represent my kids and I and of course the other owl is my husband.

Mojo Monday 144


Recently I came across the Mojo Monday blog (www.mojomonday.blogspot.com) and I must say I am sure this is going to be one of my favorite blogs to follow, it gives me so much inspiration. I made this card for my father-in-law whom we did not have a chance to go see on Sunday. We plan to go visit this coming weekend.


Above is the sketch I used for this week mojo monday challange.

Scrapbook Layout's

My BFF came over this weekend and we worked on her grandaughters pages, so simple but so pretty.

My Family Craft/Hangout Room



I store all my supplies in the paper racks and cubes. The 2 rolling carts on the right are my kids supplies.


This is my desk as you can see I was watching my pink stamper live when I took this picture :)


The desk on the left is my daughters desk and the small table in front of the window is where my son colors and paints. The blue book case on the right is all my sons books and I have a small TV on the floor for him.

Momo's Cricut Cut Swap


I received my swap package...and all I can say is OMG!! I am sooo not happy with what I sent Stephanie. This was my very fist swap ever, and I did not really know what I should send or how I should send it but my partner did say send and do whatever. But each time I was making a cut and doing stuff to it I'd think..what if she dont like this, then I tought maybe simple is better. So this was quite challangeing to me, but now I get more of what swaps should be like thanks to Stephanie. Because let me tell you she did an amazing job. The pictures are below...and she glittered, embossed, distressed, inked, flocked, cuttlebugged, glimmer misted, she also used hemp, buttons, googlie eyes, bling, accent essentials and then on top of that she made the cutest pink doggie card ever. Oh and she made the little purse with cards for my daughter...how super sweet!(FYI...she is new to papercrafting, she has only been doing this for 4months now...she is one of those lucky naturally crafty people)
Well now that I have a better feel for swaps I am going to get started today on another package for Stephanie. Hopefully she will like the replacement better. We both mailed on the same day so she should have hers today also.
