Wyatt's banner

**If you are looking for the My Pink Stamper Blog Hop, then please scroll down! :)**

 Do you remember Kylie and Alyssa's banners HERE.?. Their younger brother Wyatt was just born and Anina asked me to make another banner for him! What an honor! They were waiting until he was born to find out if it was a boy or a girl, so I had to wait a little bit, but I was so excited to make another one for them. 

Last time she got to see the girls' banners on my blog before they got to her so this time I wanted to wait until she received them to post this. I really hope she likes it! :)

The Glossy Accents made it a little hard to photograph so I took pictures from different angles.

Hans' Birthday Card!

How has it been 5 days since I have posted!?! Where does the time go!?

Thank you for all of your sweet comments on the My Pink-alicious Blog Hop (the layout for my husband). I told him that if he needed some extra encouragement to go read all of the comments! :)

This was for my husband's birthday (March 1st). He recently came with me to pick up doggy food supplies and picked out this hedge hog squeaker toy for Spoon. We couldn't figure out if it was a porcupine or a hedge hog. The tag said hedge hog. So I made this card for him because she loved it so much she tried to tear it's nose off within hours! (Apparently this is a sign of true love for dogs). 

Anyway, Hans also has this thing with umbrella drinks. On our honeymoon in Fiji he just wanted a drink with an umbrella in it to take a picture of and the entire 10 days we were there, he NEVER got one! So the next Christmas my mom got him a whole package of umbrellas to put in his drinks. We've teased him about it ever since. So I wanted to give him an umbrella drink. :) 



This is what the inside/middle of the card looks like:

My Pink-alicious Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Pink-alicious Blog Hop!!! You should have gotten here from my good friend Cristi's blog! If not, start here at My Pink Stamper's blog to join in the fun and see what prizes you can win along the hop! 

Well I did a layout for the last My Pink Designer showcase and Lisa from Lisa's Creative Niche left me a really nice comment and encouragement to keep scrapbooking! It meant a lot to me and I marched into my craft room to make another! Lisa wasn't the only one. I received a lot of wonderful encouragement from a bunch of you. Thank you SO much!!! 

This week we were challenged to make something that had to do with St. Patricks' Day, Cricut, My Pink Stamper Stamps and to "think green!" My husband Hans is going to be running his first 5K on St. Patrick's Day with our friend Josh Wilson. He has been diligently training for it and I am SO proud! 

Although, I must say... I do find it a tad bit rude that my already skinny-as-a-twig husband is getting skinner every day from training and I am getting larger from pregnancy! How is that fair!?! ;) 

Anyway, I'll be putting in the pictures. The top will be of him with his number. The middle will be of him running and the last one will be him with Josh... probably holding a beer. :) The journaling on the card and shamrock will have to wait for the time that he finished in and the place. I am so excited!

I have to say that I LOVE the font My Pink Stamper chose for this sentiment. Perfect!





I based my layout on this sketch HERE. The challenge is expired, but I still liked it! :) 





Recipe:




Now make sure to hop back to the My Pink Stamper blog at the end so that you can join in the challenge and the fun! But for the moment, hop along to Chelle's blog!

Love & Hugs!

Good Wednesday morning to all of you!!! This is SUPER early in the morning for most of you and by the time some of you read this, I will have a second post up today!!! 

It's about time that I made up for my lack of posting! :) 

This is my post for Shop Pumpkin Spice for this week! Check back into her store and the blog because there will be a BIG reveal for next month's kit! I am super excited about it! 

Make sure to get the Echo Park Paper: Yours Truly (linked below) before it is gone gone gone! I am having a blast with this line and you will see I have more projects made with it coming up! :) Make sure to get the solids along with your collection pack because I think they are super helpful to go with the patterns. I used the black, pink, AND red on this card! I think it really helps it come together (I ordered two of each solid just to make sure I had enough!)

The Bees are Flying the Hive

Yesterday was the final day of Betty Bee's Buzz being an active blog. So buzzzz on by and say farewell to all of the ladies!

While I flew away from the hive a few months ago, I wanted to come back for this festive finish! :)

A HUGE thank you to Betty Bee! She was the first person to ever ask me to be a part of a design team and has been such an inspiration and a mother hen for me throughout this process! 

Thank you also to my sweet honeybees! The encouragement got me to new places and I think we will all be honeybees for life! :) I wish you all well!

Happy 4th of July!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

I made this banner because I got the wonderful American Made Collection by My Mind's Eye in the mail and had to make something for this holiday!

The thing I loved about this collection is that while I was going through it, I was imagining boy cards, man cards, shorts on paper dolls, quilted patterns, and many more. This is not just for this holiday, it's a great pack of papers for all kinds of cards!

You can click on the banner picture to make it larger. :) 




Recipe:


This also qualifies for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge - to make a project for the 4th of July!
I also just realized that this qualifies for the Off the Wall Craftiness Challege here:

red, white, and some kind of blue

This is what we have been doing so far this weekend! An oak tree fell down in my grandmother's yard (no damage thank goodness) and we have been splitting a QUARTER of the wood that fell and was brought over! It took 4.5 hours over two days of at least 4 people splitting and stacking. Two of those woodpiles were there, but we built the other 3.5! This is 6 year old Dante under very close supervision learning how to use the splitter - and loving it!





After a hard day's work..


Then we went to Sardine Factory for some Abalone Bisque and then to Spanish Bay (the place where Hans proposed!) to listen to the bagpipers and watch the sunset! It was such a lovely evening!




Today we will be going downtown to get some ribs and deep-fried artichoke hearts (my nemesis). I hope you have something super fun planned!
