Live Laugh Love

I bought these frames from Zellers during one of there 90% off clearances. I knew one day they would come in handy. I bought 10 frames that day for $0.15 each. How could I not stock up at the price!! I removed in pictures that were in the frames as they are totally not something I would use.

My sister asked me to make some frames for her friends birthday. She wanted Live Laugh Love and a humming bird incorporated into the frames. My font is not as big as I would have liked it but it was all my microsoft would allow me. I think they turned out pretty good minus all the finger prints I didn't clean up very well .. oops. I'll have to get that cleaned up right soon. You cant tell from the picture however the humming bird is stamped on the paper and also cut out and pop dotted up.

TFL everyone =)

Happy Birthday Tamara

I made this card for a co-workers b-day next week. Happy Birthday Tamara!!!

Lisa's March Cricut Challenge is to make something with at least 3 layers (which fit perfectly into KKKG sketch this week). There was a bonus entry if you make it with a cartridge you have never used before, however, I only own 2 cartridges so ... I know I know ... must invest in more cartridges for the bonus entries - lol. I used the storybook cartridge and cut out the square background with the little holes as well and the pink flowers and the green flowers on a stem.

KKKG challenge this week was to use this sketch.

So here is the sketch and my card. Sorry, I see now that the flower centers are not dry yet .. oops .. lol

Vision Board

I thought long and hard about what I'd like to have happen in the next 5 years.

I made a list (of course) and I spent the week finding pics from magazines and the internet to use on my vision board.

I'm extremely happy with how it came together. Looking at it, the only thing I seem to have missed was adding the date ... I should really add the date ... 2016 as my target date ... I think I will add it to the highway pic somewhere.

Now, to find a place to put it so I will see it everyday. I do have a 12x12 frame upstairs so I think I may put it into that and place it on my dresser or maybe the beside the fireplace in the living room.

My Vision (in random order)
- Healthier lifestyle and diet
- Take some photography classes
- To be happier overall
- Build better relationships with my mom and dad
- Overcome my fear of highway driving
- To be in to be crazy in love/relationship
- To have my line of credit at a zero balance
- To sell current condo and buy a 2 bedroom apartment condo that needs NO reno's done
- Advancement or new career

My 35th Birthday

Well, today is my 35th birthday. Mid 30's already. Man time sure flies by.

So far it has been a great day.

Had breakie with my mom =)

My boy send me a b-day text (he's at his dads this w/e) =)

I won the KKKG challenge I entered last week =) Got to pick 5 KK stamps and also won a gift certificate to Michelle's Scrapbooking and More =)

I've been talking about doing a vision board the last couple weeks. My vision board will be a 5 year one. Where I want to be and what I want to happen by the time I turn 40 years old.

Now, that I've had my 12 x 12 piece of cardstock out since last night, I realize just how hard it really is. What do I want???? Where do I see myself in 5 years???? So far, this piece of cardstock is pretty darn white - lol. I'm sure it will all come together soon.

I will be sure to share my vision board once it is complete.

After 10 days

of straight snow this is now my back yard!!!

Now tonight on the news, they were saying that you need to clear the snow so that the meter readers can get through your yard with ease.

YIKES .. I don't even wanna tackle this back yard.

The snow stopped yesterday afternoon but it suppose to return on Thursday ... just great (insert rolling eyes here).
