My HanDsomE BoY and His Blue eYes

i believe this paper is pink paislee captivating, but i am going off of memory, and i am too tired to seach. any way i like the simplicity of the layou.

BiRtHdaY CaKES TraDitIOn

Birthday cakes, birthday cakes.... since Ben's first birthday, i have never been able to pick just one cake, so i make what ever i want. this year i had so many ideas, but i only ended up doing 2 cakes, or you could call it 3... and yes, i noticed that i forgot to cross my T. oh well. the cowboy boot was my first at cutting a cake up to make it into the shape i wanted. i think they turned out pretty cute. Ben had to have black boots, no brown at all, however i did do brown and black. then on the round cake, was my first attempt at twisting fondant together. i also cut out horse heads, cowboy boots, and hat out of black fondant and placed them on the side of the cake. separating the fondant pieces, were ~S~, the Sogge brand. i think that the cakes tasted GREAT. anyway, this is one thing that is keeping me busy..

the other thing is, Pat went into my scrapbook room and was going to try to clean!!! YIKES that means THROW EVERYTHING away. so yesterday i went and got 16 jetmax cubes. i was soo excited to get them and start to get organized. that wore off real soon, these cubes are going to take FOREVER to put together. Especially when you have 2 little helpers. oh well! what is the rush???

Wishing you all a Wonderful New Year~ happy Crafting

This card is using on of the Tim Holtz christmas stamps. I used the glitter versamark for the tree, stamped the believe with distress ink and the used perfect pearls on the believe. simple yet i really like it.

oh where have i been???

Well i have been crazy busy since Thanksgiving. Tree day, Ben's birthday (i only had to make 3 cakes), christmas parties, shopping, baking, being mom and working full time. As well, making it into the world of what i call old age: doctors appointments and meds! and in my spare time, i made some wonderful distress inked Santas. i stamped santa with Tim Holtz stamps and then distress inked them in fire brick and peeled paint. i cut them out and had them
waiting for placement on cards....... then they magically, they disappeared. For those who know my husband, you can guess where they are......YEP, the GARBAGE!!! so this is what i ended with, one. yes one of 20 or so. i was lucky to find it on the side of the cupboard near the garbage. so what good is that?????? oh well cant be mad, as he never says a word about my compulisve and obssesive scrapbook purchases. Well the kids are trying to type and the neighbor's dog is missing so i will post some pictures later!!! Merry Christmas
