DINO-Mite!

Hey all!
I must be the worst blogger out there!! Too bad it's not as easy as Pinterest, I am GREAT at pinning!! lol

Tonight I have a simple little card to share, using KaDoodle Bug Designs Cute Little Dino file.
I made this card for our current DT Challenge, "Make a Masculine Card".  So simple to enter, make a guy card using a KaDoodle Bug Designs file and share it on the Fan Page. Easy Peasy! :)

Thanks for coming by and I hope you enjoyed my card! I hope to see YOU make a card & join in on the fun!! Oh, you could win a FREE file of your choice, too!! :)

Have a Scrap Happy Day!

Putting Barbie in her place!

Happy Saturday, All!!

Since I became a Pinterest-aholic, I don't throw away anything I think I might be able to use for something else, like Crystal Light containers & diaper boxes, along with lots of other things but I used those 2 items for today's projects.

Last night I was sitting in the living room, and was looking at Barbie, and a lot of her friends, all scattered about. Most were de-robed.  And then there's the never ending, "Shoot! What did I just vacuum up?" problem. It has to stop. Barbie needs to be put in her place. Her own special place. In a Barbie Box. 

I knew I had a large diaper box, or 2, hanging around and thought if I covered it up in pretty pink papers, it would work. I hate spending tons of $$ on plastic storage containers and then they get broken because someone needed a stool or a seat.  So, I got out the Mod Podge! Now, me & the Podge have a love/hate relationship..... it LOVES to make me HATE it!  I can never get the wrinkles out and I always end up covered in glue.  BUT, for the love of Barbie, I pushed forward.  I printed out a couple Barbie pics on the computer and cut them out real fast and went at it with the Podge again.  Not perfection, but it works & it was cheap. Most importantly, my girls LOVE that I made it for them!

Now, I knew throwing all the little pieces into this box would result in the same problem.... little clinks in my vacuum. So Momma got out the Crystal Light container, complete with cover. Perfect! Covered it with some matching paper and accented it with a couple pieces from KaDoodle Bug Designs. I used the "Women's Silhouettes" & "Surfin' with Style" (for the shades) files.  And done!
The girls loved this even more than the box! 

Now, it's up to them to fill it up. They liked it a little less when they heard that part! lol  But at least now Barbie has a place, her own designated place, in her new somewhat stylish Barbie Box!

Thanks for stopping by & please leave me some love! :)

World Autism Day!

Happy World Autism Day!!!!!

I used this logo on a shirt I made for my son, Joey, who is 3 1/2 & has Autism.  He wasn't in the mood for pics this morning, so hopefully I'll be able to get some after school! :)

Please join us and many others around the world today in "Lighting It Up Blue" to spread awareness about Autism. Autism CAN be a good thing too!!!!

Here are the cookies I made for his pre-K class today :)

We will be showing our BLUE off month long, as April is Autism Awareness Month!!
Check out my fan page here CBC Scrapbooking to see more pics and some crafty Autism projects as well!! :)

Right now, I have a set of paper pieced Autism Awareness Boys listed on ebay that would be perfect for your scrapbooks or ASD Awareness projects! Check it out HERE! Thanks for looking and be sure to leave me some love!

TP Bunnies!

Scrappy Saturday, All!!!

My kids got their craft on this morning making some cute lil' bunnies out of paper towel rolls & TP rolls, YES, I save everything! lol

I originally got the idea on Pinterest, http://nurturestore.co.uk/easter-bunny-craft, but I tweaked it a bit and left out the paint because, well, honestly, paint gets REAL messy with 5 kids! LOL

They still had a blast making them tho!!!

I cut out the bunny ears on my Cameo using the Basket Full of Goodies file from KaDoodle Bug Desings.

Then they went to town!!!  Joey kept running away, so no pics of him today :(

Jessie - 3

Dylan - 10

Austin - 6

Maddie - 4

 

And here are their finished bunnies, which I also posted on the KaDoodle Bug fan page as part of the "Anything Goes ~ Easter Challenge".  Create an Easter project, anything you wish, using at least ONE KaDoodle Bug file or Digi and post it on the fan page by next Thursday for your chance to win a FREE file of your choice!

 

 

Thanks for "hopping" by and hope you all make some time to get creative today!!!

At the Beach

Happy Scrappy Thursday!

I have a layout to share with you all of my oldest back when he was 4. (He is 10 now, so, ya, I am a tad bit behind! lol)

"Under the Magical Sea" is 70% off this week & will soon be retiring, so get it while you can! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U8QpSW8Vszc/Tdqiqri6muI/AAAAAAAAAr8/uhg3EdI_9Xo/s1600/internet.jpg

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!!

Top of the Morning to you all!

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I've had some serious medical issues the past 3 months, but I think I am finally on the mend! Which has also allowed me back into my scrap room!

So, today being St. Patty's Day and all, I am sharing these cute lil' cards I made for my kiddos. I used this week's freebie from KaDoodle Bug Designs & then added adorable face stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I am VERY new to using these face stamps, but I am already addicted! LOL

I am also entering these in Peachy Keens "Anything Goes" challenge.
You can find more info about it on their blog, http://networkedblogs.com/JhEia

Thanks for looking all and I hope you all have a wonderfully GREEN St. Patty's Day!!!!!
