Forever Card

My grandma passed away just before Christmas this year. She was such an amazing woman and although she will be missed dearly - she will never be forgotton.

I made this card for her daugher (my step-aunt) using Bo Bunny's Crush Collection.

I loved the rub ons and decided to rub onto a piece of white cardstock and then cut out before applying to my card.

Love you Forever Betty!

Random Thoughts and Pics

So I was thinking....

There are a handful of blogs that I enjoy visiting. Some are for content - the gorgeous creations, eye candy and scrappy goodness. Others occasionally have scrappy content but for the most part, it's random nothingness - pics of the kiddies (which are often hilighted in projects), daily thoughts, ramblings, etc.

Question: Would you mind at all if I were to throw in some 'personal' stuff to my blog mix? I was just thinking of how nice it is to browse my fave blogs and see new pics, projects, content, anything really, on a daily basis. Of course I adore the scrappy goodness but am equally content to see adorable pics of the wee ones, ramblings of motherhood, etc, etc....

Just a thought.... I like seeing 'real life' photos of people, in the proper context or with a description every now and again. Helps me connect to the individual on a more personal level? Anyhow..... I'll leave you with a few pics from the last little bit. I've been crackin' down on the projects for CHA lately and my blog is looking like it needs a little love!!! I have so many things to show you all - but everything is under wraps for the next little bit so please be patient.

Oh yea - that reminds me.... A New Year calls for a New Blog Giveaway wouldn't you say? Stay tuned in the next few days for some deets!

Me and my crazy kiddos - this was me asking them to 'smile nicely' so mommy can have one fantastic photo of her and her babies. This is what they gave me.... *sigh*

Let's try that again.... Seriously?? Come on people!? Okay one more try.....

Well, that's about as good as it's gonna get! LOL....

Oh my - I am soooo proud of this little peanut!! His daddy registered him for hockey (mommy was totally against it - not big on the 'contact' sports - plus he's only 4!!) and to our surprise/ delight, he ADORES it - not to mention the fact that he is fantastic!! He just 'gets' it.

He is so good - has amazing hockey sense - just knows where to be on the ice? Crazy - anyhow... I was kind of hoping that he 'wasn't' very good as that could have been my excuse to have him not play... but alas, he is truely a wonderful little hockey player and with the last name "Orr".... but I digress.

Here is little Miss E all bundled up!! The field near our house froze over and we were lucky enough to have a wonderful morning of skating!! Sooooo fantastic! (thank goodness I had the stroller to hold onto or I would have totally bailed - its been WAY too long since I was on a pair of skates!)

Me and my baby sister...

Anyhow, that's all for now - be back tomorrow with some more 'stuff'. 'Night!

One winner will be chosen randomly on Thursday January 11th (11:59 pm mountain time) and announced during our second January blog hop (on January 12th).

I have a fun mini album to share with you today that I created with the gorgeous Cambridge Collection. These photos were taken on New Year's Eve of my little ones acting silly and having a crazy time celebrating with some fancy drinks that mommy made (3/4 crystal lite + 1/4 gingerale - was trying to create something fancy - LOL!) We counted down a titch early (8pm) but they didn't know any better and had a gay ol' time.

I used Bo Bunny's Mini Edgy Album as well as the coordinating Cambridge Paper Pad. LOVE these soooo much - espeically when the album has intricate die cut pages like this one. It saves so much time on the measuring and cutting!



Hmmmm.... lace on a 'boy' page - Why not?!

Here they are tasting their 'fancy' drinks. The journaling is tucked away in the pull tags I created.



Some more journaling on tags. Love how these turned out actually. I rarely have room on my pages for writing so to include either hidden or slightly off the page as seen here gives me a little more room to play.




The back cover. I took one of Bo Bunny's newsprint wraps and trimmed it into a scallop shape before adhering to my page.

I hope I've offered a little inspiration to all you wonderful readers! Now off you go to Tomoko's
blog!! Good luck and have fun!
