~Candy Bag & Card Set~

Good morning my friends, 

I have a fun little project today, a gift set of sorts...a glassine bag for candy

and a mini card perfect for Valentine's Day or any other day I say! :)

 Here is a close up of the card and the other side of the baggy. 

Just love that this bag is included in the Chasing Pavements Kit from Scraptastic Club!

 Scraptastic has started making their own custom stamps 

and the are a fun time too!

 I couldn't resist sticking this little fellow out of the card LOL

 And I hope you can tell I glittered the CANDY-

 I also misted the Thickers- they are perfect for the Mister Huey's from the Add-on. 

 The word bubble and quote if from the stamp set as well. 

Anyways this is a fun kit and I am really falling hard for the amazing

colors. I know they are not your traditional winter tones but I LOVE THAT!

Ok I am off today- getting ready for some little faces to arrive at my home next week. 

Happy Friday my friends!!!

~Best Birthday Layout!~

Good morning! :) 

I have a fun layout to share today, remember my birthday night this year?

Where we all went to Dairy Queen and the guys started throwing ice cream...

ok well one guy started flicking ice cream LOL

I grabbed pictures and thought it would be fun to use them with the

new Scraptastic Kit Club's December Kit All Of The Lights. 

 I am TRYING to catch up on my scrapbooking from 2012,

and I am going to be honest, it ain't going to happen so now I am

just randomly scrapping photos that make me smile LOL

 This kit was so fun and bright I am super stoked! 

Totally reminded me of the best birthday EVAH!

 I love these Heidi Swapp Buzz Words from the add-on as well. 

(the pale pink "friends"). 

OHHH and the October Afternoon SEW FUN Banners! I totally

grabbed my sewing machine and went to town. 

Anyways this is what the kit looks like...it's a fun one. 

Now I am off to get this house decorated after a very fun weekend with 

the kids and friends....we had a painting party with our friends on Friday,

then on Saturday a fun 31 Party. Then Sunday a wonderful birthday

party for one of the sweet baseball kids Derek- So blessed to have such

amazing kids in our lives!

Now we are planning the Christmas decor, I just love the holiday season. 

Happy Monday my friends~

~Fun Fall Cards~

Hey there and happy fall y'all!

I am really into making fall cards this year, I have no clue why but for

some reason they are calling me! LOL

Maybe it's the fall kit I am working with-

For these cards I used the Farmer's Market November Kit 

from the Scraptastic Kit Club, I used the patterned paper

which had these adorable cards on them. Then I layered goodness. 

Honestly they took me all of 30 minutes! I love that. 

Oh I also added glitter inside the house heart, just for shits and giggles! LOL

**shhh** don't tell anyone I cussed on here....:) 

That's it for me today, this kids have a 3 hour day so I need to get rocking and rolling!

Happy fall my friends and please do share what you are crafting today!

~WINNER & Thankful Easel Card- Thanksgiving!~

 Hey there crafty peeps!

Did you miss me yesterday? I was knee deep in Bunco and children...

we had a sleepover with a total of 8 darlings...it was precious, 

plus our monthly Bunco night 

was last night so it was a busy Monday/Tuesday in our home. 

Anyways I did delve into the new November Scraptastic Club Kit "Farmer's Market"

to create a Thanksgiving card for my latest class at My Creative Classroom.

Of course it's not the only card, we are making 8 different cards but this is just one. 

I love the fall colors and even am enjoying the cooler fall weather,

not after 3 months of having the kids trapped in the house I might not be 

saying I like the cold...I might be saying I need me a vacation!

Anyways I also wanted to post the winner of my Holiday Layout Class

Love the card, and I agree with needing a sense of humor! I haven't done a real layout (I mean a 12 x 12 to actually go in a scrapbook!)in years, and they look so cute. Thanks so much for sharing the chance to win a spot in the class! hugs, Kimberly

Happy Hump Day my friends!

~Scrapping The Everyday Moments~

Good morning to you all!

I have a layout to share today, yes a REAL live paper layout!

Big shock I have made 2 in the last week. 

I have been playing with my new camera and took some photos

of sweet Bella at her gymnastics I go watch every week. 

It really is one of the precious highlights of my week, 

so I decided to scrapbook it (of course).

I used the Scraptastic Club October Hall Pass Kit,

I really played around with the add-on and Mister Huey mist. 

This is a fun little kit to play with for sure. 

I love the colors and the style of it!

I love the little numbered paper clips too. It's all a fun time!

Ok I am off to sew today and get these kids ready for a party and

Halloween is fast approaching and I have nothing done!

Until next time my friends~

~Gentle & Free- PAPER LAYOUT!! *gasp*~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

My OH MY! It is a real live paper layout I see! LOL

I haven't made one in a while, but I sat down this weekend to create. 

I have these beautiful pictures of my sweet boy holding a moth

(shhh to him it's a beautiful butterfly!")

I have been dying to scrap them....so I did. 

I used the new October Hall Pass Kit and the Add-On from

the Scraptastic Kit Club (You know I love them!)

This is the kit....I also used the add-on because it had the rad Mister Huey Mist in it. 

I decided to use the little white die cut as a stencil and spritzed it for fun. 

I am very proud that I have been able to raise 3 boys who know

nothing of the pain I had my entire life. They all have grown up

so innocent and free from tragedy. 

I mean don't get me wrong they experience life like everyone else but

not the abuse and the mental/physical  scars.

When I see this photo I se how truly beautiful Justice is and

how blessed I am to be his mother. 

It's a good thing....

Happy Monday my friends...MUAH!

~So Proud & Family's Are Sometimes MADE Not Born!~

 Good morning my friends, 

Oh I see it's been nearly a week since I blogged last? Where

does the time go these days? I had a wonderful party this weekend

for my boys and so much going on, it just slipped my mind!

We did have a great week with family and friends though

so it was totally worth it. :)

Crusher story below project....⇓⇓⇓⇓

But first I created this fun little card, for no DT nothing, just me. :) 

I used a mix of old Scraptastic Club Kits, and SRM Stickers.

I really just went with the paper design. I loved the circles and just hand cut 

some circles and distressed them, then I stitched them on the sewing machine.  

Added Washi Tape from the kits, and a bunch of embellishment stickers. 

Just a fun little card. :) 

This weekend we had a lovely weekend with friends. 

Before I start I should preface this story with the fact that we have been

with the same Crushers team for 3 years now. And our coach Kevin is

a fun time! He genuinely cares about our kids. 

We definitely have a misfit team all over the board- we have wonderful children 

some with disabilities, some without but he plays them all the same.

No one sits on the bench the entire game like some other teams do.

They all play and they all get to shine even if they are not the best, 

he pushes them to try it and go for it! 

He reminds me of my husband when he coached. 

Anyways all the parents respect him and we all donated money

for him to get a team logo tattoo.

So after the party hubs and I took him and his wife to get his new tattoo!

Here is my gal Renee tattoo-ing him. I love her. 

 Here it is all done. 

It's so much more than just a baseball tattoo. Just like my Crusher "C" logo. 

It was a lovely evening, the only missing piece was our favorite couple 

Shauna & David. :) Besides that? Totally perfect!

And of course hubby couldn't be left out so he got a "C" on his

ring finger since he cannot wear a wedding ring. That was sweet. :)

Had another huge special moment happen this weekend that I can't share 

just yet, but I feel a layout coming on about it for sure.

Anyways I am off to see a sweet mamacita do her gymnastics. 

Have a wonderful Tuesday! :)
