Saturated Canary - Good VS Evil.

Who watches The Walking Dead?
I do, I do!! Well, I'm a little behind with this last season but I sure do love the show.
It's so different than an any other shows.. sometimes you need a little Sci-Fi and get away with all of this reality TV!
 
So this week at Saturated Canary our challenge is Good vs Evil.
I thought this image was a mixture of both. She's tring to be good..
wants to be a skater.. not a walker..
I hope you will join us.
 
Today is my moms 50th Birthday and my little (big) brother's 24th Birthday.
We are going to an old favorite family resturant, 'Vince's Speghetti'.
 
I'm sure you will see picture in my Project Life February spread.. and Instagram! :)
 
Have a great day!

Time for a little 'Me Time!'



Hello out there in blogging land.
 
I have a scrapbook page I've been working on to show you. I love it!
I got my hair done last month and snapped a picture of me in the booth.. just so I could scrap it! :)
 
I've used some of my favorite Scrapbooking products and some newly discovered ones, too!
Heidi Swap is now on sale at Michaels.. I love how I can use a coupon.. and I love to see NEW stuff at Michaels!!I've also used some American Crafts products I found at Target.. I love that! So here's my grocery list.. shampoo, soap, toothpaste, buttons, paper.. :) hehe! I've also used my Chic Tags flair and some tags, from my buddy Veronica! Ohh on the bottom of my journaling I added a small part of the Elle's Label from a pack of her snippets. The perfect touch. I sooo need more Elle's Studio stuff!I've also used goodies from my Studio Calico Kit, Freckled Fawn, Basic Grey, Echo Park and
 
I'm entering this layout into a few challenges.
Dear Lizzy has challenged to use a clear embossing technique.

An easy, fast gift idea!


Hi there my darlin's.
I made this little pouch very quickly the other day. I took my Lili of the Valley - Summer Bears set and colored up this cutie and popped it on this little pouch.. added some gorgeous flowers from
 Wild Orchid Crafts and voila! Ohh and take a look at that new white guipure lace... it's gorgeous!!!!!
I've added some Lili of the Valley stamps in my pouch and you have got yourself a little gift to give. Who wouldn't want to get this?! I highly recomend getting this Summer Bears set of stamps for when you don't have a lot of time for a project. This set really is a MUST!
 
Where did I get those papers.. well they are ones I've been working on and I absolutely LOVE them!
They are my new Celebration Collection and now in my Etsy Shop. I was very careful to not make them specifically for Birthday. So you can use them for any celebration project, Birthday, Congratulations, Anniversary, Graduation... and the list goes on.
 
Well that's all for now. I don't have a lot of  DT posts this week, but I have some things to share.
Have a great week.

A few layouts :)

Hello Everyone!
I've made a few scrapbook pages over the last week and I thought I'd share them today.
This first one is made with mostly My Minds Eye product, for a Contest they are having. The only product that is not MME is the wooden accent. The Arrows are Freckled Fawn and the car is Studio Calico. Oh, and the 'Fun' is American Crafts. I LOVE the way this page came out!
 


 
This layout I used mostly Dear Lizzy stuff, just because she's in the photo.. and it fit. :)
Love this page!! The brads are MMY, and the other dots are dew drops. The flair button is ShopEvalicious.
 


 
Here's a layout of my girls from last Halloween.
I got some Elle's Studio Halloween tags just for these photos. I'm also using the sketch layout from the Elle's Studio Challenge. The flair button is ShopEvalicious.

Happy Valentine's Day!


Happy Valentine's Day!
 
Here's the Valentine's Card that I made for my significant other.
I absolutely love the way this card came out. I made a sunset/sunrise and I'm really happy with the way it came out. Keep your eye out for a step by step tutorial!
 
I made this card for the new Challenge at Saturated Canary. Our theme is Love. Have I ever told you how much I LOVE turtles! I had emailed Krista and asked if she could please make a girl kneeling and cupping a baby turtle in her hands. I always knew it was going to come out amazing.. but Krista really wow'ed me with this one. I actually squealed when I first saw this.
I love it! I'm going to print a large one and color and frame it! :)

I've used papers from my Etsy Store - Spring Love!

I hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day.

Last Minute Valentines!

Hi there everyone.
 
Today me and my munchkins (even the teenager!) made some Valentine's treats. I got the idea off of Pinterest. I just love that site! Anyways, all you do is get the square pretzels and some Hershey Kisses, the hugs look the cutest, then place the Kiss on the pretzel and put in the over for 3-4 min at 200 degrees. The Kisses have to be soft, NOT melted, and then push the Valentine m&m's in the center. Super fun and cute and YUMMY! My stomach hurts from all the candy I ate. This is why I don't bake.. I'll eat the entire time!
 
After we made the treats, I decided to throw a little 4x4 card together with my, My Minds Eye goodies I just got from a local scrapbook store a few weeks ago. I used the 6x6 'Sweetest Thing Happiness' paper pack and the Happiness wooden buttons and little stickers. I ADORE the entire Sweetest Thing collection. I couldn't make up my mind what to get. It was a very difficult time in the scrapbook store, I'll tell ya!
 
 When I got home I was browsing online and seen the challenge over on the My Minds Eye Blog and decided I'm gonna give that a shot! The theme is 'The Groundhog Day' movie. Since that's the movie that repeats I thought these 2 cards were perfect for the challenge since i had to make them the same, or the girls would fight! :) So here's my entry!
 
I'll be back later today with a Valentine's card for my Valentine!

A Birthday Challenge at Magnolia-licious and new Digi Papers!

Well hello peeps. Happy Tuesday.
Today there's a new Challenge over on the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. There's quite a bit of changes that has happened over the last couple weeks. We have all joined one large team and Diana has brought in Wee Stamps to the store. These are so cute I've been a huge fan since Sylvia Zet very first came out. The new Easter Collection is available too.
 Check everything out in the Magnolia-licious Store
 
So I'm really excited.
As for our first challenge as one big ole group we have a Birthday theme.
I've used this adorable Tilda with cupcake or maybe it's ice cream? I'm not sure because it's out of stock in the Magnolia-licious store. So hopefully some will come in soon. If not maybe you can send the lovely Diana a message telling her you cannot live without this cutie!
 
This whole theme of Birthday was perfect for my new release of Digi Papers called Ice Cream Cone. I've actually been working on this set for a few months now. I love the colors! I've also made some matching tags and arrows and some 3x4 journaling tags, all available in my Etsy Shop, now!
 
Oh, if you like my tile floor you can learn in my This and That Class over at Color me Creative!
 
Well, I hope you will join us at Magnolia-licious for our Birthday Challenge.
You can win a surprise package from Diana at Magnolia-licious!
So come on and join the fun!!!
