You Quack me UP

A quick LO of little Hunter when he was 3 years old.  He is sucking his thumb and twisting his ear and being silly like always.  What a character.  He really does "quack us up!"  Papers are CM, felt is CTMH and the die cut title and ducks are from Cricut Just Because Cards. TFL!

More new stuff!

Doubt I will get much done in the way of crafting today.  Even though I am on vacation I will be going into work to assist with an informational meeting for staff wanting to promote ~ should be a good meeting...I sure don't mind going in on my days off to help with something like this! :)

Here are a few items I finished up yesterday.  The LO's were actually started back in October, but at that time all I completed was the picture selection and the title.

This LO is taken of my daughter on our summer vacation, I will be posting an almost identical one of my son, So cool that my DH got very similar pictures of the kids while swimming. Details: Sun is from Just Because cards and is inked wtih CTMH orange ink and spritz with Glimmer Mist, Tiger Lilly and Marshmallow; title and girl are from Cricut H20 and the title is covered with CTMH Liquid Glass. Umbrella is from Cricut Life's a Beach, embossed with the Cuttlebug and inked with Cats Eye chalks. Background paper is Paper Pizazz.

Identical page as the one for my daughter, just changed up a few colors. Thanks for looking!

Small card <4"x2" Card base & mat cut with Just Because Cards (Cricut), cupcake stamp is CTMH, Good Times with Liquid Applique for the icing. Stash eyelets are pushed into the icing. Edges inked with Cats Eye Orchid Petal

Thanks for looking ~ have an awesome day!

Staycation...a girl could get used to this & more new cards

I have made pretty good use of my staycation! I LOVE my career and am doing some pretty exciting things with it, but a little vacation is just what I needed to get myself back into the creative mood. My New Year's resolution or goal is to be more productive.  I have recently gotten back into living the principles of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People ~ thanks to a little (HUGE) opportunity to instruct this at work. As a result I am planning better and getting more meaningful things done!

Sooo what have I gotten done?  My application for a promotional exam is complete...and ready for me to deliver once a few great friends proof it...I have made cinnamon rolls, from scratch...I have a pot of corn chowder (from scratch too) cooking on the stove and I have had some great fun creating! Here are a few of my latest items...for a closer view just click on the photo.

Circular card cut from Wild Card. Blue paper is CTMHembossed with Cuttlebug and sanded to distress, torn for layers using CM wavy paper tearing tool. Stamped images are Imaginisce and colored with colored pencils, blending with CTMH blending pen. Clouds are from Pooh & Friends Cricut Cart and sun is Gypsy Wanderings (Cricut). Glitter pen accents are Gelly Roll.

  Bazzill & CTMH papers. Flower and bling are EK Success, ink CTMH embossed with clear embossing powder. Top and middle layer are embossed with Cuttlebug. Top layer is spritz with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist.

I have also joined my buddies the Night Owls in keeping track of the cartridges that we've used so I will be doing a better job on listing those here.
