my sweet darling…

A few years back, my sweet hubby said that he would make me some cool stamp furniture, to hold all my stamps and punches.  So he started buying tools, and more tools, until he had all he needed… well, I don’t even remember how long ago was that, but he seems like at least 8 years younger and 50+ pounds lighter in that picture… LOL!!!  He did get me some cool IKEA furniture for my room… LUV’ YA pumpkin!

Fun and Sweet… oh my!

Hi everyone!

Here is what I did with the “A Day In the Yard” Ribbon kit from Savvy N Sassy and with the July kit from 2Gals Scrappin’!  These are two a fun kits!  And who doesn’t love pom-poms and the beach?  

I wanted to add emphasis to the picture, since so much is going around it.  So I decided to add the blue pom-pom trim to the framed photo.  Notice that I since it was not the perfect match of color, I decide to add a few different flowers and sticker to play with different hues and values of blue.  And did you noticed I cut out a few flowers from the pattern paper, it helps not only to make it all seamless but also grounds the photo.  Challenge for this one is Pencil Lines and Scrappin’ the Music.  (I did this LO last week, but I couldn’t show it to you until now.)

Life is better with an Oreo!  (I think I might scrap that picture again with that statement as a title.)  I wanted to celebrate my daughters joy of eating an oreo.  I used some of the SnS May Kit – Ann’s Picks for the tag, some brown pom-poms from SNS June kit – A day in the yard, some scraps of green cardstock, one of the design papers from the July 2Gals Scrappin’ kit and some Doodlebug trims from CropStop.   The brown was just perfect to reflect the color of the Oreos, plus it added some fun and a celebrating touch, don’t you think?

it’s like the flu…

Digi scrappin’ is like the flu, you pick up the bug and never get back to being you… LOL!!!  ok, so I did about 2 digi LOs before this, but I lost them (deleted the wrong folder ladies… I know and no back up… I lost all my digi kits too!)  So Vicki has been learning digi scrappin’ and I have been trying to help her, even though we don’t use the same software.  I finally ordered PSE for my MAC and now WAITING for AMazon to decide on shipping the darn box. (breathing in and out!!!)

kit by Trish Heffner – Spooky Freebie kit; AND Shauna Burke-Smith (ppd_zgl_The blues kit #1) – I did changed to b/w the blue background paper.

I know I said I don’t like purple, but I have to do a few cards this week with the color because that is Pile It On! Challenge this week, so bear with me and try to enjoy! (LOL!!!)

and a little close up of all the bling goodness!  Yes, I think I might have been in the border of using too much bling, but I think I am still ok, and the bling police aren’t going to come after me.
