Slip and Slide!
14 Comments   life
We made a run to Target yesterday (I'm always amazed at how many people shop on holidays lol) and picked up a good ol fashioned slip and slide! I never had one as a kid so after much explaining the concept of the tummy slide to the kids, and them chickening out at the point of leap, I convinced my poor hubs, in shirt and jeans, to show'em how its done! I really thought he'd pull out at the...

Mojo Monday
10 Comments   card, card making, challenge
These past few days have been crafty immersion! I just had a burst of mojo that I had to give out let to. About a week or so then I'll just be an empty husk but for now I'm taking full advantage to not only get ahead on challenges and such but to do a couple just for fun challenges. This one is for Mojo Monday's sketch challenge. I love how the card turned out! Loved the sketch! So fun! I used...

Meet Chibi Nina! Isn't she too cute? That was my first thought on taking a look at her pics :) I'd love some gorg hair like that! Nina is such a sweetie AND a crafter so check out her blog! Meet Chibi Shell! Shell's chibi was so fun to do! I definitely got a sense of attitude and spunky fun from her that I tried to give her an expression of "she's all that and a bag of chips!" I hope I...

Head First
3 Comments   layout, scrapbooking
This is how I always see my daughter being, finding something she likes and wants then going after it with everything she has, HEAD first. Being HEAD strong, and bull HEADed. She's not afraid to speak her mind and try to get what she wants. Already. She's 6. lol But she's my girl and I wouldn't want her any other way. For all of that, she's soooooo dainty! Pulling weeds in the...

Make a scene!
8 Comments   card, card making, challenge
I made a scene! :) The challenge at Some Odd Girl today is to make a scene on your card. At first, even though I set the challenges, I was totally stumped! I stumped myself. I can't say that doesn't happen often lol. But instead of making a flat card like I have before, I decided to try my hand at a stair step card (my first!) and use it to set the scene. I used papers and stickers from My...
