Birthday card

This is a Birthday card I made for my son Maverick's best friend. He and Austen are going out on Saturday with Austen's parents for some German food :0) We'll slip some cash in this for him since it's too complicated to buy a gift for a 15 year old boy now days :0)

 The boys are big time gamers with the computer and xbox 360 so this is very appropriate.

I actually used the edge of my scissors to distress the edges on this. I like it! I want to do more of this. Hope you can see it good enough :0)

I hope you all have a wonderful three day weekend!

Hugs!

Snow bound

These are the two latest dolls. As much as I really don't care for the snow and coldness, these two are really cute all ready to go :0)

I'm off to work on more. Hope to show the book I am making for them soon :0) Have a great week everybody! And thanks for all of the sweet comments lately, I really appreciate it :0) Hugs!!!!

Happy Birthday Julia!

So today is my neighbors/friends daughters 8th birthday :0) This little cutie saved her money and bought a Cricut Expression after spending a day over here with me on my Create. I decided to make her a cover and I really like the way it turned out. She shares my love for Tinkerbell so we will have similar covers since my mom bought enough material for us. Here is a picture...

And here is a closer look at the flower on the front, the lighting sort of changed the color a bit.

Hugs!

Clowning around

I really like these ones :0)

Hugs!

Ahoy, me Hearties!

Some Pirates...

Caleb calls these Pirates of the Caribbean! Too cute :0)

Hugs!

Workers

Here are two workers I did today. Construction and Engineer :0)

These are for Caleb's collection but, he doesn't know yet :0)

Hugs!!!!

Cave- people

This little cave girl reminds me of Pebbles from the Flinstones :0) I would call the boy Bam-Bam but he was a blonde. These ones I attached the clothing and the hair to the body. Hugs!

Frankie and his Bride

These are two that I got done last night. Today I have been working on getting the velcro attached and have run in to a few minor problems with some of the outfits so some updating is in order for this week. This has definitely become a full time project but, I am loving it. I really like gluing the outfits on the dolls and making a zillion of them, less complicated :0) We will see how this all pans out in time. Hope you all have had a great weekend! Hugs!

Dracula and Halloween costumes

Here is Dracula and his Vampiress

Some Halloween costumes :0)

In response to a commenter (sunsetbeach- is that you Mary? :0), these have become an extreme addiction. Not sure if that is good or bad yet. All I know is that I am having way too much fun with these. I am inking and chalking and blinging left and right :0) I don't think my room has ever been this messy :0)

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend, I have a date with hubby in a little while :0)

Hugs!!!!

Rag Dolls and Mer-People

Just wanted to share some more of my Paper Doll Project with you all. Here are a couple of Rag Dolls I made. They each have another outfit that goes with them and the hair detaches so the bows always coordinate :0)

Next up we have some Mer-People. I really like these ones. They will also have alternate fins, just not cut out yet :0)

This is how the girl looks like when you see just her outfit... I love the little bling for her belly button!

Hugs!!!!

Paper Doll Project

Hello everyone! I hope you all are well :0) With my boys, half of them anyway, being back in school all this week I got to start a new project, YAY! I may have bit off more than I can chew at this point but, I am still hanging in there. I LOVE making paper dolls with the two cricut cartridges Everyday Paper Dolls and Paper Doll Dress Up. Well... I decided I want to make some for my nieces with changeable clothes as a Christmas gift this year. After discovering the tab feature on the clothes doesn't really work I got another idea from Jan on YT, known as WhatYouMakeIt1. She had an excellent idea in her video. To see just click on her YT name and it will take you straight to it. I'm not nearly done as this projects has snowballed in to making some for Caleb and my best friends 3 daughters. I definitely need until Christmas to get all of these done. I have already been working on these for 4 days now. Here is a peak to share with you all, enjoy!

Here are a few close up shots of some of the outfits...

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 

You know what I will be doing :0)

Hugs!!!!

Back to School!

Today was our first day back to school, yay! I love summer break but, I also love when mine all go back. I seem to think some of my sanity re appears after they start school again :0) We have 5th and 2nd grade this year for the younger two.

For anyone else starting school this week Happy Back to School!

Hugs!!!!

Updated notebooks...

So......... my nieces are coming!!!! They are actually already out here I just won't see them until tomorrow :0) I updated their notebooks that I showed you all in a previous post. I added some photo mats to the divider pages after I found out they were getting cameras and taking pictures while they visit. Here are the updated photos of the notebooks.

Nickol's

Gillian's

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, I sure will! Hugs!!!!

Some cards

Here are some cards I made for a lady that works with Jeremy. She asked me for some blank cards a few weeks ago so this is what I made her. Each one has four others that match so a total of 15.

Hope every one has a terrific weekend!

Caleb scored!

So Jeremy and Caleb went to Sam's Club to do some shopping and I told them there was a big pack of construction paper there. Yep...they got it. Here he is so proud!

Here is a closer look at all the colors :0)

Guess he'll be busy for quite a while with all this :0) Have a great day everyone!

Tinkerbell note book :0)

So I finally got around to making myself one of the altered Michael's note books I picked up. Just wanted to share the final result and of course it's Tinkerbell!

I love the way this turned out :0) The Tinkerbell is a dimensional sticker I got in RAK from Pea along with the green sparkly ribbon, Thanks again Pea! The pearl swirls and flower are from Michael's and I just cut it apart to work for what I did. I cut my name out with my Tear Drop font cartridge. I even put tiny pom poms on Tink's slippers and used some iridescent glitter glue over them along with on her wings, even though you can't see it here :0) Hugs!

Cricut Create Cover!

So I was on google, googling Lol!, and I wanted to figure out how to make a cover for my Create. My mom came over and we were trying to make a pattern and it wasn't working too well. We would have gotten it eventually but she said, "there has to be something online somewhere". Ding ding ding! I found a pattern as a free printable download and here it is. I took a couple of old pillow cases to practice on and they didn't turn out half bad. The second one is better after I tweaked the pattern a little. The first one was too lose fitting for my taste. Here are some pictures...

 First one :0)

Second one, more satisfied with this one :0)

Now I think I can move on to some good fabric, Tinkerbell of course.

I saw some at Walmart that was really cute and I think I am going to

try and quilt it so it isn't so thin. I'll keep you posted on my progress :0)

Have a fantastic weekend! I am off to a concert at our Southlands mall :0)

Hugs!

More altered notebooks...

These are some composition notebooks I got in the dollar bin at Michael's. I love the size of these :0)

Here is a closer look at each...

These are for my little neighbor girls that we have been friends with for a few years :0)

And here is a card I made for their Dad's birthday this weekend...

He definitely knows how to work the grill!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! We are swimming and barbecuing again on Saturday with Jeremy's Mom and Fiance and then off to see Transformers Dark of the Moon on Sunday! Hugs!

A little BMX action!

Today we went to a local park where they have a BMX dirt track. The boys had a blast! This is definitely a way to wear them out quickly :0)

I hope every one has a great weekend so far!
