Micky Mouse Ears!

 A friend of mine asked me to make this for a little boy's room.  Here's what it looked like on my computer.

 And because I took it with my cell phone I can't rotate these to their side . . . But you can see that they are ready to be picked up and stuck to the wall.  I have the transfer tape over the vinyl already.

 This is called Walter Fonts - go figure (hee hee)

Gotta have the ears!

Sewing Project

Here is another project I did this summer! I bet you didn't think I could sew! 

I even own a sewing machine - thanks to my Mom!

Huge bolt of material on my kitchen table - what could it be??? (Cell Phone Photo - blurry)

 How about Curtains for the Camper! 

I did a set of shears first and then created heavier curtains to go over them!

 Above is in the kitchen.

 Here is in the bedroom in back! Right side.

 Center window in back.

This is a picture down the center facing the front and kitchen area!

Above the table area that is a fake cabinets - that folds down to make a bunk bed.  

The kitchen table folds down even with the seats and creates a Queen bed. 

There is two twin beds in back as well - sleeps 5.

Thanks for looking!

Graduation Card 2012

FOUND IT! 

Lost this picture - 

did this card with MTC from scratch and gave it to our friend's daughter/baby sitter in July!

Hubby had emptied the camera onto his computer! It's blurry but you get the idea.

I made this cap and put it onto the corner - and had to make sure that the card 

would fit into an envelope too!

I have a few other things I did this summer that I need to post.

 I made this card using our White Pigment ink and stamped the dots onto black cardstock.

 Here you can see the dots better on the black, I loved how it's uneven the saturation.

Also, I did a second generation Desert Sand Ink stamping on the white behind the LaBelle Vie Mauve Cardstock. I edged the card in the Desert Sand ink as well.

 I stamped the bike 4 times, one after the other without refilling on ink to get the look of movement. I added 2 Bitty Sparkles in the Lightest Green to the tires.

I thought the zig zag stamp made a great tire track for the inside of the card!  

Now hop on over to Krista's Blog for some more wonderful ideas with this stamp set!

New Product Blog Hop - La Belle Vie

We are doing some extra hopping this month!  We decided to showcase some of our new products!  So a bunch of us consultants got creative and you get to hop thru our ideas!

If you are coming from Mchelle's blog then you are on the right path, if not, keep hopping and you will do a complete circle.


I've been a bad girl.


I ordered my my product late.


They aren't due to arrive until August 9th - that's next week.

So knowing I was in a pickle I emailed my fellow consultants in my area and asked for help.  Bev B. who lives 45 minutes away calls me like an hour after emailing!  She's heading to my town and saw my email prior to leaving, she threw everything she had that was new into her SUV! Since she's doing lunch with family in my town, she thought she'd help me out!!! (Also, I received another mail later from Mary B. offering to meet me on Sunday - I thanked her but that would be too late!)

What a great group of ladies I have to network with!

So with a half a pack of La Belle Vie and my family, I created this layout:

I used the Magic Book and created the layout called Illusion on page 94 - 95.

  Close up of each side

 I even added the fold out section they suggested in the book

 I stamped the cover with The Best Things C1503 stamp set

 You can read the inside - top is the folding out to the right and the next photo is flipping it over.

 I have a few photos I need to add to the fold out

Group shot!

Yes, I started this on Friday and finished it on Sunday!
I even ordered photos this morning from Walgreens and got them in an hour!  
(Free 8 x 10 today only!)

Yes, I was bad, but good I got it done on time.

Thanks for looking and now go hop to Dawn's Blog for more great new products to see!

Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Baroque Borders

If you came from Sheila's Blog, you are going in the right direction, if not, start here and keep hopping and you'll do a complete circle.

 Here is what this month's stamp set looks like:

They are fun and huge!  I wanted to do something with heat embossing so here is my card:

 I'm still looking at this card and thinking "hmmm.....it needs something...." I used gold embossing powder for the gold and Twilight paper and ink for the rest.  I used 3 stamps from this set to create this card.

Close Up.

Maybe words under the little black box like "happy birthday" in a tiny font....  Or I'll pop the center flourish off and do something else - who knows!  I enjoyed embossing my whole office - the central air conditioning would turn on just as I was pouring the powder and I felt like Tinkerbell with pixie dust.

Thanks for looking and now hop over to Allisa's blog to see some other great ideas for this stamp set.

Action Shot!

My daughter has talked about seeing in an ad about a Zip Line in the Wisconisin Dells and that she would love to try it - well here is a mini Zip Line that she loved at a Gymnastics Birthday Party!  They said she had great form! (Look out Wisconsin Dells - we'll be trying that there - not!)

A Sneak Peek

My faithful assistant Jeanie is showing off a sneak peek at something I am making for a Brewer Game Party for a Friend.  What a great helper!

How I spent my summer vacation?

SUMMER

It's going by too fast.  I've not had time to post hardly anything the last few months. 

Things keeping me busy:
I've been working on losing weight - I'm a happy 15 lbs lighter! I have an app for it!
Jeanie in swimming and tumbling classes and attended 4 birthday parties
Sleeping in the Camper, babysitting neighbor kids for a weekend
Golf League on Friday nites - just for fun!
(I can't even think!) So much more!

Here is a name in vinyl I did for a friend's sister: 

The photo was taken with a cell phone and so it may be a little harder to see.  It is 36 x 12 inches big (looks small in the photo!)

I will post more soon. 

July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Live Out Loud

IT'S JULY ALREADY

SLOW DOWN SUMMER!!!!!

I need to slow down.  I'll be attending my 2nd Graduation Party tomorrow, I've been to 4 birthday parties and there is still 3 to go!  Relatives coming in from out of state in August and we still haven't taken the new camper to a site - but we did sleep in it 2 nights this week via back yard - REALLY testing that air conditioner!

Anyway, if you came from Pamela's blog, then you are going in the right direction, if not, keep jumping and you will do a complete circle.  This month it's these cute word stamps!

I decided to do something black and white. A simple card on my
Cricut using the AP Cartridge. 

The top butterfly was cut out of the bottom of the card.  I cut the center frame out but not before I cut an additional one so that this one nested better (frame in a frame).  So there is a thin 1/4 inch frame scrapped.

I stamped the word Soar in black and used foam tape to make the frame stand off the card.  

Thanks for looking, please feel free to comment.  Now hop over to Wanda's blog and see what great ideas she had!
