Grrr

So, I bought AC/DC tickets ($250.00 later - insert rolling eyes here) for Justin for his 16th b-day and 15 minutes before the outdoor concert is to start this is what is happening outside. Super nice day all day and no rain in the foecast. Go-figure!!!!

And the thunder rolls ...

A storm is moving in and this is the view from my back yard ...

Dolly's "Just for fun and inspiration" Challenge.

Here is Dolly's challenge to us :-)

"So there are these stamps that alot of you think are cute:
http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2009/07/introducing-everyday-button-bits.html
I think we MUST have some stamps in our stash we could "adapt" to be used like this by simply masking over certain areas and replacing with a button...so pull our your stamps and have a look then come up with a button adaptation and show us your before and afters!"


Here is the card I made and the stamp I used. I think it looks like a butterfly .. what do you think??

TFL :-) and thanks for the challenge Dolly :-)

Ooops .. I guess I should have let the glue dry a bit longer - lol

Happy Birthday Cody :-)

This is the card I made for my nephew Cody.

These are the cards I made for Michele's Card Swap. We each had to choose a theme .. I chose Just Because and it was because I love that Just Because stamp - lol

I survived a Japanese .... Vacation

So, my friend Shelley loves to travel. This trip brings her to Japan .. she is visiting Tokyo.

Everytime she goes away I do something for her. I've done a little comic book, a Newspaper, a Journal. I was flipping through a magazine and saw a crossword puzzle all about celebs and thought I could do some research on Japan and do a crossword puzzle for her. What was I thinking - lol.

One night I was sitting here flipping through the tv guide. I saw that there was a show on tv called " I'm a celebrity, get me out of here". I was thinking this is the perfect title for the crossword puzzle and I could change it up a bit and call the crossword puzzle "I'm a government employee, get me out of here". A couple days later I was watching tv (yes, I watch alot of tv - lol) and saw a commercial for a game show called "I survived a Japanese game show", so I decided I would use that instead of the other title and change to "I survived a Japanese Vacation".

It took me a few days to get organized. I had alot of research to do online about Japan. I thought I would be able to find some free online crossword templates online .. I did .. however, once I entered everything into it. I went to print it and it said I would have to purchase it to print it (insert rolling eyes here!). I had to come up with another plan. I got some scrap paper out and started to draw boxes and organize all my questions and answers. Once I had that done, I went into word perfect and starts to draw boxes based on my drawings. Oh goodness (who's idea was this anyway - lol) it took a long time to get everything right.

Once I had it all done, I thought you know .. I'm a scrapper .. she's a scrapper .. I'm going to do a LO of the crossword puzzle. She always scraps her vacations. So, I did up this LO for her to do and for her to include in her Tokyo album.

I am happy the way it turned out. I sure hope she likes it :-)

Altered Paper Bag

So, a lady at work today asked if I could stamp her one of the paper bags I had at our craft sale last week. She wants to use it as a gift bag. She said nothing fancy, that I could stamp it like the ones I did for the sale but I thought I would color the flowers and add some stickles to make it more attractive. Hopefully she likes it :-)

Fathers Day Crates

Here are the fathers day crates I put together for Hal (from Justin) and my dad.

My dad is right big into golf .. loves it. Plays as much as he can .. so I put this together with some tee's and golf ball and fake grass - lol .. my sister is picking up the gift certificate from a golf store which will be added to the crate.

Justin said Hal wanted a BBQ cover for his new BBQ, so he got him a gift certificate for Home Depot so he can go buy whichever one he wants. So, we put together a BBQ theme crate for him. Which I must say is alot easier then the golf one.

I didnt decorate the crate so they can use them in either the garage or some place else.

Hope they like them.

TFL :-)

Transparency Cards

Here are some Transparency Cards done for the craft sale.

I really like Transparency Cards as you can probably tell.
