Smooth Sailing

Hey everyone.. wow yet again I have neglected my blog lol. Unfortunately, I won't be back into the regular swing of blogging for some time still. I just happened to have some time to write today. I've been busy with miss 4 year old and miss 2 (almost 3 and it breaks my heart) year old.. and redoing my craft room.. again!

Adam just finished making my desk a few months ago and stuff was going good... (the room wasn't complete yet) until I found a deal on craigslist and HAD to have it. So I got a super deal on white cube storage (about $4 per cube). I asked Adam to redo my room/ his office .. even though just months ago he said "are you sure this is how you want it? Because once it's done.. its done! And I will not be re doing anything you decide later you don't like"... well I asked anyway and he decided that my new idea was much better. So needless to say the room is a mess and I can't get to anything pretty much. And for the next few weeks it's only gonna be worse lol.

So today I have a little card I made real quick. The sailboat and anchor are both from Life's A Beach and were cut with my expression 2. The circle and scalloped circle are both from Cricut Craft Room Basics and were also cut with the expression 2. I embossed the red circle with my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots folder. After I adhered all of the parts onto the circles I put the entire sailboat in the circle on a pop dot. I ran some red velvet ribbon around the card and over the velvet ribbon some burlap twine which goes around twice and has a cute little bow. I hand wrote the sentiment.

Raccoon Valentine's Day card

This is a simple Valentine's card. I cut the raccoon from Create A Critter. The papers were all in my scraps and the sentiment was a Studio G stamp. The heart and raccoon are both on pop dots.

Big Boy Nautical Layout

The circle inside the life savor is the photo mat.

I used my cricut & Life is a beach to cut the life ring and waves (along with my gypsy). The title is cut from Boys will be boys. I tied the square knot with some hemp string and looped it through all the holes on the life savor. The paper was in my stash.

Daddy's Lil Pumpkin Layout

Hey everyone.. sorry its been so long since I've posted.. life just has a way of taking over I guess. I have been crafting behind the scenes the whole time though (well most of the time). We just went on a Disneyland/ SoCal/ AZ vacation/trip for 2 weeks, so that took some time.. hopefully I'll have some pics to post later on.

So I made this layout of Jayden & Adam from Jayden's first Halloween..

Just Married Layout

I couldn't be happier with this layout I love how it turned out. All of the papers are Authentique Paper. I got the flowers in a kit except for the one with the little blue button in the middle.. I hand made that flower by cutting different flowers out of different paper by and and rolling them for volume and adding a brad to the middle. The tag also came in the kit. I cut the heart by hand and used cardboard that was just "garbage" basically. I used bakers twine from The Twinery for the tag and the kraft colored twine/yarn stuff is from the kit also. I used my cricut to cut the white background shape behind the pic.. I welded images together (from Cricut Craft Room Basics) and stretched them with the gypsy. And the title is cut from Tie the Knot.

Happy 4th card

For this card I used some timeless bakers twine the red white and blue kind, I used embossing ink, powder, and gun to make the fire works.. it's glittery white and blue embossing powder. I also used an embossing ink pen to write the sentiment. All the papers are from my stash. I followed the sketch at Artful Delight. I cut the banner on the bottom (that the sentiment is on) with my Cricut Expression 2 and gypsy using the Martha Stewart All Occasion Cake Art cart.
