I'm a Sketch

Happy Monday All

 

I hope you all are having a great start to 2013. I am praying for a much quieter year then last. One of my few resolutions is to stock up on chill pills. I am trying to work very hard on not letting the little things bother me and picking my battles a little more carefully. We have 8 people (hubby and myself, my mother, our daughter and 4 grands) all living in the same house and tensions run high sometimes. Have you ever heard the saying that grandkids are your reward for not strangling your kids. lol Well I have been rewarded with 4 beautiful and amazing grandkids.

 

For my project today the amazingly talented Betty is making a digi to resemble me. This is the sketch and I was way toooo excited and had to color it up. This is exactly what it looks like in my craft room. The grands are always in here asking to make something and I Love It!!!

 

I wove some Ice Blue and Sterling crinkle ribbon around a scalloped square to make a bit of a frame.

The sentiment is from PTI's Heart 2 Heart #8!!!

My grands definitely make me a better person!!

Rockin' around the Christmas Tree

Happy Monday 3 Girl JAMmers!!

I hope everyone has been staying warm. Around here the weather is changing fast. Can you believe we only have 10 days until Thanksgiving and 43 days until Christmas. WOW before you know it 2013 will be upon us.

Today I made a card in honor of our 6th challenge over on the

Challenge Blog.

Projects can be linked up until Thursday so be sure to check it out.

I know these are not traditional Christmas colors but sometimes "outside the box" is fun too. I used some fun and poppin' Ice Blue and Sunflower crinkle ribbon along with the Snow Angel cricut cart. This is actually my first card for the Christmas season and I really need to kick it into high gear. The sentiment is from Pink by Designs "Christmas Wishes" stamp set.

Getting Cricky DT post

Yeah today is my Getting Cricky DT post.

We are showcasing K Andrew Designs

"Even More Food for Thought"

stamp set.

I am getting sad because my time as a Design Team member is coming to a close. Only 1 month and it will be over but I am having as much fun as possible while it lasts. If you would like to become a member of Kristal's amazing design team there is still time to apply. Just click HERE to find out all the details.

I have been making lunchbox notes for the grands all summer so that I would be ahead of the game when school started. I can not believe that the kids are going back to school in just 2 weeks. It feels like summer just started and already it is over.

Here are 6 tags for my grandson. They were so fast and fun to make. I can write a message on the back and he can use it as a bookmark as well.

Simply Sunday - All About Disney

Hope you all are having a restful Sunday.

I am so excited today because it is my very first

Getting Cricky "Simply Sunday Challenge"

as a member of the design team.

I have entered many SS Challenges and they are always so very fun but this one is super special.

Today our theme is All About Disney

My project today was made using the Disney - Dreams Come True cartridge. I added 3 Girl JAM's Aqua Splash and Ice Blue crinkle ribbon for water and Coral Crush for a little coral. Added some home made dew drops and Viva Decor glitter liner to look like some little bubbles and found some tiny sea shells in my stash. (didn't even remember I had these)

Feel Better Card

I am so excited that today is my 3 Girl JAM DT post day.

 

Well it is the beginning of a brand new weekend and I hope you are all excited. I am certainly ready for some crafty time. It has been pretty busy around our house this week. My grand daughter woke up Tuesday morning crying and holding her stomach. My daughter took her to Immediate Care and while she was signing in the doctor saw how she was holding her stomach and sent he straight to the ER. She now has a 3 inch scar on her right side and is missing her appendix. Kylie loves getting cards of any kind and for any reason or no reason at all so I made her a cute "Feel Better" card to cheer her up.

 I used some Provo Craft Disney dies for Mickey and his balloons. He is walking the tight rope made out of 3 Girl JAM "Ice Blue", "Coral Crush" and "Aqua Splash" crinkle ribbon.

There are some really great prices on crinkle ribbon in May so be sure to check them out HERE.
