Happy New Year

All the best to you and your family in 2015.  Today I am sharing some cards that I decided to put together yesterday for New Years.  I didn't send out very many Christmas cards so I decided to send out a few New Years cards.  I'm not sure why all of a sudden I am into lamp post so I used one from the silhouette store and one from the Graphically Speaking cricut cartridge.   I used paper from a DCWV 6x6 paper pad called Twinkle Glints and I added some actate behind the glass part of the lamp even though you can't see it in the picture.   I made a few other cards that I may share before they go postal.

Take care and have a great weekend.

History

This has been a really wild week and I'm just totally exhausted mentally; I can't figure out how I'm going to get past so many hurdles.  Anyway one thing that really relaxes me is when I craft so thats why I just decided to try to get some "me time" in as I navigate through this maze called life.  Today I'm sharing another page from my smash book.  Its a Black History thank you LO that I created for the week #8 blog challenge over at Scraps of Color.  All items used on the LO came from my paper scraps and  my stash.  I cut the thank you tag using my cameo and the MLK image and dream big sentiment using my cricut.   The ribbon is from American Crafts and the star stickers from EK Success.  The one line journaling reads Thank you Dr. King for inspiring us to dream big!  Wishing you and yours a blessed Wednesday.

New Clothes

Today I'm sharing my latest completed LO for the Anytime Anywhere Scrapbooking Experience hosted by Tiare over at iClassygirl.com. The LO uses pictures of some of the clothes that DD received for Christmas. I used misc. paper, buttons, a chipboard flower button, sassy fiber strands (CTMH) and (2) differnt cricut cartridges for the title.

Genuine Love

Today I'm sharing a LO of my children using some pictures taken in 2010. My son was visiting and decided to have these pictures taken as a Mother's Day gift to me.

Happy Monday! The start of another work week (thankful to have a job), second week of school and more birthday celebrations. Yesterday was my father'in-law's b-day and tomorrow is my nephew's birthday followed by another nephew's birthday next Monday.

Very Virginia

This is a pictures of my daughter's 3-D Virginia Map that she had to do showing the five different regions. Materials used included "funny foam" for the regions, yarn for the mountains and floss to highlight the fall line. She used stars to label Virginia and the nation's Capital. We used the cricut for the title and the compass! Do they really expect kids to complete these projects by themselves and you're suppose to use materials that you have at home!

Money Holder

My MIL asked me to make a simple card so that she could give checks/money to all the graduates that sent her announcements this year. It took me forever to complete the task, I wonder if she'll still use them, if she's anything like me I say better late than never because you can always use money! The inside of the card says congratulations and I stamped the envelope with a fiskars stamp.

MY WAY

I created this LO as part of a cricut board challenge; the LO is of my t-shirt and bib number from the Fisher Flamingo Festival last month. We (me & another parent) started our walk at the very end and we stayed the course and wind up passing some of the other walkers and crossing the finish line before them.
