Thanks a latte!

Boy am I glad its Friday!  I think I need some retail therapy!  If its not one thing its ten others. 

Yesterday I went to Joanns because I need some yellow paper and theirs was on sale.  I not only found my yellow paper but I also got this really cute stamp set by Fiskers called Latte Love.  I had to ink it up right away and this is what I came up with.

I took this weeks OCC Sketch challenge and moved the layers around and left off the ribbon (cause I forgot about it).  I stamped all the images on PTI white cardstock and colored them with my Triart markers. I also added a little Glossy Accents to the coffee in the cups to give it a liquid look. The PP is from the K&Co Faded China Paper Pad by Amy Butler.  I'm also entering it into Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge as it is a open week.

I hope eveyone has a fab Friday and a beautiful weekend.  I'll see you back here on Monday!

My fav card ever!!

I had this post scheduled to go up at 9 this morning while we were at the vet but it didn't work so here it is.



I love how this card turned out.  Exactly how I wanted it to, that doesn't happen to often!  I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for but when I saw the sketch this is what came to mind.  I followed Get Sketchy Card Challenge #33.  All the images and the sentiment is from The Greeting Farm's Showtime set.  All the paper is PTI cardstock (which I love).  I used my Nestabilities small circle to cut the yellow circle.  I had to use my Expression to cut the black circles since I only wanted a small amount of it to show.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful Thursday!

Glee tonight and a birthday card!!!

I'm so excited that Glee returns tonight!  I've already informed my Hubby that I claim the TV at 9:28pm.  My Hubby makes fun of me for liking Glee so much.  He doesn't understand what draws me to a show about high schoolers.  I have a hard time explaining it to him.  You either get it or you don't.  If you watch Glee leave me a comment and let me know what draws you to it.  I'd love to hear from other Gleeks!!

So unless I get some crafty things done this afternoon or tomorrow morning I won't have anything to post tomorrow.  I still have to fold and put away all the laundry that I did yesterday.  I think it breeds in the dirty laundry basket.

On to the card.  I made this card for one of Rhaynn's friends who's party is this weekend.  Of course the party is on the same day as our soccer game so we aren't sure if she'll make it.  The image is a digi from Sassy Cheryl's that I got from their PCP page.  The sentiment is from a K&Co set that I got ages ago at M's on clearence and it is stamped in Memento Summer Sky.  I cute the image and the sentiment out with my Nestabilities Label 4.  I so love this one, okay I love them all.!  All the paper is from the DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies stack.  I used the Papertake Weekly sketch from last week.

I hope that everyone has a fab Tuesday.  And Happy Glee watching Gleeks!!

Its Monday again.

This is a long post!!  If you are just here for the crafty portion you can scroll down to the bottom to see my card with the ICSketch.

Springbreak was wonderful.  Both to long and to short.  Rhalynn was so excited to go back to school this morning.  Clara and I on the other hand were not ready for the alarm clock. 

This is my girl doing their Easter egg hunt at Grandma's and Grandpa's near Athens Ohio.  It was so windy that every time they went to pick up an egg they were nearly blown over.

We pretty much ran the girls ragged all week.  Easter Sunday we took the girls to see "How to train your Dragon" and they loved it.  Clara asks about three times a day to see it again.  Monday we cleaned the house and had soccer practice.  Tuesday we spent the day looking for outdoor furniture.  Of course Anthony and I can never agree on anything so we still don't have any.  Wednesday we spent the morning with our good friends then the girls napped the afternoon away.  Thurdsay we went to the Boonshoft Museum here in Dayton.  We had a wonderful time and plan on going back many time this summer!   

Heres the girls and their Daddy posing for crazy Mom!

Friday we went to Athen Ohio to see The World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions.  While they were beautiful and did some amazing tricks I can't help but think we weren't given the full show.  Maybe due to the size of the venue.

On Saturday we added a member to our family!  This is Joey Sparkles!  The girls are in love and I think Anthony is too.  He is a very good dog.  Not a lot of barking and loves to be adored.

Yesterday I was finally able to get in my craft room and create a little.  I had this Anya colored since last weekend but haven't had the time or the mojo to use her.  I used the Inspirational Card Sketch #61 for this one.  The animal paper is from DCWV Nana's Kids stack.  The buttons are from a Making Memories pack that I got at Micheals yesterday for $0.99.  I added the star and some glitter to the largest button using my Glossy accents.

Have a wonderful Monday!  I'll be back tomorrow hopfully with a LO for Clara's scrapbook.  For some reason I have a hard time with her pictures.
