Snowmageddon 2011 :)

So I thought I would try to document this great weather event we are having today! It started with probably 1/4" of ice yesterday and then a little more overnight. Here are pictures from our deck door!

               12:00                           2:00
At this point we cleared off the table to keep it from getting too heavy.

Papercraft Star...Challenge #30

The challenge was to scraplift a creative team members project.  I choose Liz who has tons of great scrapbooking layouts in her blog.  I have been working on our family's yearly vacation album and I have been stuck on our trip to the Nashville zoo, not knowing where to go with the pages because I have so many pictures.  I wanted a layout that would use a lot of photos so I could limit this event to one two-page spread.  The project I choose is back from Sept '10 and was created for "Nuts about Sketches" weekly layout.  When I checked out that site...I fell in love!  There are so many multi-photo layouts I am so excited to start back up with my album.  Here is the layout that Liz did :)  Thanks for stopping by.

Pajama Party @ SWPS

Reagan was so excited to get to have a pj day at school!

Birthday Blog Candy @ Happy Expressions

I just found this great site with wonderful crafty projects.  She is giving away one of her favorite Cricut cartridges to one lucky follower!  I love this cart too, too bad my sister who has it, lives over an hour away from me.  Stop by Happy Expressions to see what is crafting :)

Cricut Cardz Challenge #58

This was my first time to join the Cricut Cardz challnge and it was snow much fun (sorry, couldn't help the pun!)!  The challenge was to use a snowman image on a card.  I don't have any winter cards so I thought it would be fun to use my Paper Dolls carts to dress-up a snowman!
The recipe:  DCWV cardstock and paper, Recollections paper and some scraps, both Paper Dolls carts, and the fonts came from Plantin Scoolbook and Sweet Treats, black buttons from my stash, Silver Stickles, and my Xyron and ZIG glue pens.

January Pool Party

Reagan (and Wil) finally got their pool party today after nap.  Wil was feeling a bit under the weather and wasn't sure he wanted to play, until mommy put him in the water and he saw all the fun things to play with.  Both kids had a great time.

Cooking with Cricut - Challenge #13

OK, so I have tackled another blog challenge!  This one is at a great site called Cooking with Cricut and their challenge #13 was to do a layout or card following a sketch and including 3 flowers.  When I thought about flowers and my next scrapbooking projects I thought about the Butterfly Festival we went to last summer on vacation in Paris, AR.  What goes better with flowers than butterflies?  I hope you like it :)

My recipe:  DCWV cardstock and paper, Cricut Accent Essentials, Plantin Schoolbook and Simply Sweet cartridges, Gold and Diamond white Stickels, ZIG 2way glue pens, and some 3D pop dots.
