Time flies!!

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've been on here. Time sure does fly when you're busy. A lot has gone on these past few months. I had a baby girl on April 13th, her name is Katarina Maree. She is such a blessing. She's soo tiny, I guess I just got used to my son who is now 2 1/2. Things are going good though, she doesn't quite sleep through the night yet, but we're almost there.

Well on the 21st of April my husband had knee surgery and is now basically stuck on the couch. He is on crutches but it's hard to get around still. He doesn't have to go back to work until the 2nd week of June... it's nice having him home with the new baby here and all.

I've been trying to get in some scrapping which has proven to be a tough process. It seems like every time I get a second something comes up and somebody needs something. So it's been slow. I did manage to get my sisters graduation card made. I'l admit I had a different plan for it in my head but I just couldn't get it to work right. So this is it.

I designed the tiger with my Pazzles Inspiration . My sisters school mascot is a tiger and the school colors are black and orange so I had a hard time not making it look halloweenish. I think it looks ok but it's definately not my favorite card.

Ladybug card

So I made this card for my friends daughter for her 2nd birthday.... I had it worked out a little different in my head but I think it turned out ok.. I designed it on my pazzles machine and used clasps to make the wings open.

Winter Wonderland

This is my most recent project and I kinda like how it turned out. I made the snowmen/dogs on my Pazzles, and I used stickles to accent the bottom of the page. I like it. :)

Happy Valentine's day!

Well, I can't believe it's already February first of all. My husband and I met 4 years ago this month. :) He surprised me with 2 cards, which were very sweet I might add.... inside the cards was $200, with a note that said Happy Scrapping!! :D He said I deserve it as I never get to go out with a bit of money and get something for me, and anything I want at that... I'm pretty excited. I have a baby girl due in April and I have yet to get a whole lot of scrapping supplies to scrap girl stuff... everything I have is for my son, so this will help me to catch up.
I have yet to be able to get my gift for him, which is sad since it is Valentine's day today.... I had planned to go yesterday but myhusband got called in to work and had to take the truck... go figure. I have a few ideas of what I want to get him, so I might try to brave the world today and go get it if I can find it. It's not only going to be bad traffic from the holiday, but we're having snow so traffic will be bad for that too.... again, go figure!
Anyways, well I guess if nothing else I'll catch up on my scrapping I can do now. My hubby will be sleeping most of the day as he was at work since 9am yesterday and still isn't home yet.
Happy Valentines Day!!

My sisters Birthday card

This is my absolute favorite card I've ever made. I used a file I downloaded from a yahoo group for the basic shape of the card and added my own little decorations to it. My sister will be 18 next week so I decided to make her a card. I love how it turned out, even my husband liked it lol.... I can't wait to send it to her. :)

Recent Projects

Here's the only two projects I've actually done in a while. I did this card and layout. The card is made with light weight paper and though you can't tell in the pic, the antlers on the reindeer have some silver glitter on the edges. What's funny about this one is that I never did send it out lol... go figure.

The layout I did is from a concert I went to the other night at the Sommet Center in Nashville. The Trans- SIberian Orchestra. I was so excited to go, it was a Chrsitmas gift from my hubby. :) I have been dreaming of seeing them for a long time, since I was a kid and playing my violin.

I chalked the paper behind the edges of the pictures to make frames, and I also chalked the guitar and the music staff. I do like how the staff came out. My husband thinks I should add a violin to the page, but Im not sure if it'd be too much, and what color to use....

6 months down.. only a few to go.

So I am going to be 6 months pregnant with what we now know is a baby girl on Tuesday. The time to deliver draws closer and makes me a bit nervous. All I can do is pray that everything goes well. For now at least everything seems fine. All my blood work and ultrasounds look good.

On a crafty note, I have a bunch of stuff to scrap, and a lot of ideas for things I want to make with my Pazzles. I have joined the craft room and have gotten a lot of good ideas, some of which I need to get some more materials for. I would really like to get into inking and do more with the pen tool on my projects. I have also been looking for more piecing files, mostly the animals. I am excited for all the new pages I'll be able to make for this year, I'll have a new baby, and with summer coming up a bunch of pics of my son playing outside. He'll be 2 1/2 when summer comes so he'll be able to go outside and do much more than last year. It's going to be great. :)
