2.  Be a Blogger - I am going to strive to post a minimum of once a week
3.  Have date night once a week with the hubby
4.  Do a fun outing with the kids at least once or twice a month

Ustream Last night

Ustream last night was great!  I have so much fun getting together with everyone!  We started the stationary box and it went really great.  WWe completed the box and the boxes embeliies.  One day this week we will be working on the cards and tags that will go in it!!  For more info about the ustream classes you can usually find it on the main page of minialbumscraps.ning.com!  Thanks for looking and crafting with me!


before ustream yesterday we took a little trip out to the pumpkin farm!  What a blast!  Anytime to get the family all together is great!!  The kids picked out some pumpkins (far too many I think we ended up with 7 or 8), they played in the corn box (like a giant sandbox box but with corn instead), rode on the tractor for a hayride, and played in the jungle gtm pirate ship!!  Mom & Dad also bought some goodies in the store too!! Dad loves halloweeen its his favorite !!





Think Pink inspired Card

Hey everyone!! Well this weeks card challenge was to think pink!  I love pink! but I needed to think of a way to incorporate my love of the color pink as well the breast cancer awareness that should be brought by the color itself!  So this card is what I came up with.  Simple, yes I know.  Does it scream save the ta-ta's, no it doesnt.  but I do think it looks good all the same!! so with out further ado heres this weeks card featuring ElizabethMae's digi!!

New fall Card featuring ElizabethMae's digi!!

Hey everyone!! I am doing my second post for the second week woohoo!! are you all impressed?? I am impressed with myself lol!! I worked on making a card today using some Kraft card stock, the studio g fall owl & tree & leaves paper I found and my new favorite digi, one of the dress forms for ElizabethMaes.blogspot.com.  I printed it out on a piece of Georgia Pacific 110lb card stock (not my favorite mind you), colored it up with my copics, die cut & embossed it with my spellbinder lacey oval large die, inked it with some antique linen, and put the pieces together to create this card!  It came together kind of slow for me since I had colored it first and tried to match paper second (which never works out for me)., but once I got it going I was pretty happy with the end result!!  If you haven't stopped over to see the digi's at ElizabethMae's you need to asap!! There are some really great digi's over there and they are all super duper reasonable in price!   Not only does she have some digi's but also has some pockets, and other goodies as well!  Maybe try your hand at one of her challenges!!


We have soooo many great swaps going on at my ning site right now!! The halloween themes are closing up and that means CHRISTMAS themes are coming!! Stop over at minialbumscraps!!

Design Team For ElizabethMae!!

Hey everyone I know it seems like it has been forevaaaaa right lol!! I know! Well here is me coming back, making a blog commitment!  And with that I want to tell you all that I am going to be working on DeNetra's design team over at her blog ElizabethMaes.blogspot.com!! I made a card for her challenge using one of her cute digital stamps called Sext Fairy Too.  I colored her in with my copics, used some of my favorite paper from the Lost & found collection by My Mind's Eye, ssome kraft cardstock for the cardbase, some twine, and a key charm from my stash.  I am really happy with how it turned out.  Oh I almost forgot the challenge was HEARTS, so I used my corner heart punch from Martha Stewart and I used three little heart pearl brads at the top.  thank you all for stopping by and if you would love to learn to create amazing art and designs like this, you may be interested in the art and design class you can find information at: http://www.online-colleges.org/:
