Hello Mojo-Mojo

I've scrapped the past couple nights and it's been lovely!

Tonight I got to scrap with my new toy. I just bought a Cricut Expressions. It's so nice being able to cut big circles, with out having to pull out a plate and tracing it. I sold my baby bug to get this one. Lexi kissed "crickie" goodbye yesterday, but she already loves the new one. It's amazing how a new toy can spark some mojo!

For this layout, I used a sketch from Scrapbook Challenges. These sketches are fabulous!




This layout I used a sketch from Let's Scrap and I'm double dipping it for Scrap the Girls. I love this picture of Lexi. She was dancing her heart out before her first dance class.



We haven't been doing to much lately, because of all the snow. Plus we become hermits in the winter. The girls start soccer next month and hopefully we can go play at the park soon. But for now, playing the Wii will keep them busy and active.

We are expecting more snow tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully we won't get to much. I hope you getting lots of sunshine and warmth. :D

Love and Hugs!

Snow, Snow, Snow

It has snowed so much that taking pictures of it is depressing! As I type this it's snowing, again. I'm thinking spring...anyone else??




The girls have been home a lot lately. They haven't been to school since last Tuesday. We been trying to keep them entertained. We've played a lot of wii and made candies and just hung out. It's been a great break for them, but they miss their friends and they are ready to go back to school.

I haven't scrapped to much lately, but I've done one new layout and I hope to do more this week. I think the scrappy bug has bit me. I even have a few things in my cart at 2peas. :D

Here's the last LO I made, I used a sketch from Scrapbook Challenges. I used my favorite October Afternoon papers.


Here's the Valentines the girls made, we were snowed in and couldn't go out and buy the box sets. They had fun making these. I think they are cuter than the boxed cards.


I hope you all have a great scrappy week!! :D

New Year...New Layouts

I hope everyone is keeping up with their resolutions. For me...I've done wii fit almost everyday, I haven't been scrap shopping and I haven't lost patiences with my mother (but I haven't called her either..eh eek).

We've been getting a lot of snow lately, so we really haven't done much but play games. The girls and I are getting better at Mario. We are on World 2. Lexi plays by living in the bubble. Gigi tries really hard but runs into evil mushrooms a lot. We all get frustrated and stop.

Lexi lost her first baby tooth. She's so happy, she felt kind of left out all her friends and her sissy all lost some baby teeth. Now she has the cutest gap in her mouth. :D

I scrapped a little last night while waiting for Tony to get home from work. Instead of watching Hoarders, I figured I do my part and use my stash. See it's not hoarding if I use it, right???

I used a January Sketch from Scrapbook Challenges. I think it turned out fairly cute. I used some of my Sassafrass and MS glitter.


This one is another Halloween LO! I just used cardstock, I couldn't find any pattern paper that I wanted to use.


I hope every stays warm and enjoys their sunshine!
Love and Hugs!

Ending 2009

scrapping great memories of the year. Here's what I did today:







I'm really looking forward to 2010. I even made resolutions this year.
*have more patience with Mom
*keep doing wii fit every day
*less shopping more scrapping (I've done really good with this as of late, I haven't bought a piece of paper since Oct. )

Also I want to keep up with my Project 365..so check my other blog frequently. :D

I hope everyone has a great New Years!!

Love and Hugs!

Christmas Crafts

Here's a simple project the girls and I did together.


We made very pretty ornaments for our family. I just love handmaking gifts for people. I don't know if they enjoy receiving them as much as we enjoy making them.

Here's what you need for these ornaments:
Clear bulbs (we bought ours at Michaels)
Tim Holtz' alcohol inks
make up sponges
die cut machine
vinyl
transfer tape for the vinyl

First we dropped some ink on a sponge



Next we dapped or smeared it all over the clear bulb. I prefer dabbing b/c it gives a cute polka dot design. Gigi was more of a smearer. Lexi is a dabber like me.


Next we let them dry.

Then we cut out different images with my Cricut using SCAL (I <3 SCAL) on the vinyl. We used the transfer tape to adhere the images to the bulbs.

All we have left to do is add some ribbon to the hoops and waa-laa we are done.


Even our Elf is getting into the spirit of craftiness!!



Blog at you soon!
Love and Hugs!!

The Timmy in me

Well that kind of sounds weird....I attempted to do a couple Timmy tags. I have to say that man is uber talented.

These are my humble attempts.



Here's a Timmy inspired Holiday Card. I used ton's of embossing powder. It was so much fun to make.


Here's a Halloween LO, I did this week. I haven't scrapped it awhile, but I feel like my mojo is coming back. :D Hopefully there will be more to come.


Here's some keychains, the girls and I made for different people for xmas presents. I think they turned out really unique.


Here's the Christmas card insert that going out to family and friends. I took the photo myself and I was lazy and bought the template of 2peas.


I hope everyone has a fabulous holiday!!

Hugs and Love!
Beth :D
