Here we are, 2013... Time sure does fly! While life is keeping me insanely busy, I am still trying to take time to do what I love, crafting! I have high goals for my scrapbooks and am being quite ambitious when it comes to cards, DIY projects and other crafts! So stay tuned! I made a few cards and projects last year that I never got post and I wanted to share them now...

This was a Christmas card that I made for 2012!

This is a Halloween card that I made for my Godson!

Here's a birthday card for my Godson! He's really into trains! XOXO Deanne

Spoil yourself today...

Is the sentiment that I used on my card that I am posting for you today. I haven't been able to create anything lately, my Imagine is not working and last night I found out that I ran out of adhesive! So I thought I would share a card that I had made in a card making class. It's says "spoil yourself today". This card goes out to all of our followers, weather it be a mini-shopping trip, a quick mani/pedi, or even a trip to your favorite coffee shop, we want you to "spoil yourself today" and have a fabulous weekend!

Halloween Treats!

Good morning! Happy belated Halloween! I wanted to post some pictures of Halloween goodie bags my son and I made the night before Halloween. I wanted to post this last night but we were all so tired from having a great time trick or treating and enjoying a fall festival that a local church put on! Here are some treats we handed out to his classmates...we gave his teachers caramel apples drizzled with white and semi-sweet chocolate! Well I'm off to make baby shower and birthday cards, have a great day!

MCT Pinterest Inspired Challenge

Where has the time gone? I know Rebecca and I have been crafting on and off, but finding time to actually sit down and post on our blog has been quite a challenge. Over at My Creative Time For Me, Emma has a fun new challenge going on. I'm sure I missed the deadline, but I wanted to share what I made! Here are the details for this challenge: 1. Use Pinterest for your inspiration by making ANYTHING crafty OR even if you see CUTE cupcakes/food items you want to try, I mean ANYTHING you see HERE that inspires YOU! 2. Please put the LINK of the website where you found your inspiration on your blogs! PLEASE do NOT post the original picture of your "Inspiration", ONLY the link to their website! 3. Please link your projects HERE below this post. 4. Deadline for this challenge is on Tuesday, September 4th @ midnight! 5. Last, but certainly not least......HAVE FUN!;) My daughter started her first season of t-ball this month and her first game is this weekend. Let me just say that she is a girly girl from head to toe! So we have been trying to get creative with accessories and "blinging" out her uniform. I saw the cutest hair bows on pinterest and knew that I wanted to try to make them for her! This is the link http://thefrugalgirls.com/2011/06/how-to-make-korker-bows.html that I found on making the korker hair bows and here is what I did...

I had so much fun making these! I will be making more soon and will hopefully get some more pictures up to share!

Happy Birthday!

I have to start off by apologizing for this picture... It's pretty bad. In my defense, my 18 month old bumped into me right as I took the picture, and then of course my camera battery died! But, this was the only picture I snapped of this birthday card before I gave it to one of my oldest, closest friends! I am so happy I got to celebrate her birthday with her! Not to mention it turned into a much needed date night for my hubby and I! I have to mention that I a was so excited to finally use my new "ek" punch!

Where has the time gone?

That's something I have been asking myself lately. The month of May was so busy for our family. Between soccer games and birthday parties every Saturday and practices between soccer and t-ball all week, and of course graduations! The month of May has gone by so fast! Things have finally slowed down and I am very thankful:) I am so excited to be back in my craftroom creating again! I was able to put together something tonight for Emma's www.creativetimeforme.com "Scrappy Layout Monday" challenge. I am so happy that she is having scrapbook challenges because I am soooo behind(years)!! So thank you Emma!! I love doing her challenges!<3 The challenge asked for only "one" picture and to use buttons! I have decided to make a 8x8 album for my husband and I and here is a page that I will be adding to it..I hope you enjoy and have a great week!

Mother's Day Month

I know we are almost in June and I usually associate June with Father's day, my husband's birthday and the official summer kick off! But, we are still in May and May is for Mother's Day and, graduations/end of a school year, and getting ready for summer. I loove Mother's Day. I think moms have the hardest and most rewarding job of all. So I am so glad I got to make and send out Mother's Day cards! I liked how they turned out and, like all my others, they are very simple.

I used 4x4 cardbase cardstock from Michael's layered paper from Michael's and Target inked edges with ink from target and a sponge "Happy Mother's Day" Poly Clear, clear stamp from Michael's Hope you enjoy! <3 Deanne
