design team application

One of my FAVORITE stamp companies, Purple Onion Design, is having a holiday design team call!  I am SO thrilled, i've been wanting to get on their DT for the longest time!  I'm posting some things you might or might not have seen before.  wish me luck!!!

more cards...

i know i've been making a lot of cards lately. but i don't mind, i like making cards. I have been getting a lot of special orders from friends and acquaintances which is a good thing!
here are my two latest special order cards:

yesterday i spent the day at the Scrapbook Star anniversary crop and it was alot of fun, i'd never been there but it was great! Sam is really nice and the atmosphere was the same at any crop IMO. I had given myself as a goal to make at least 2 layouts, and i did! i love them both and will be submitting them for sure. I'm just waiting till tomorrow to take the pictures cause today is a rainy day and kinda dark. I will share them as soon as i can. I also managed to make two cards with some images i had already colored. that's a bit more challenging since you have to match your paper to your image and not the other way around. those too I will share later.


Oh?! i almost forgot today is Sunday Sketch at PWCO! go check it out here.

here's my take on the sketch!

BellaG Designs and my boys

So first off i just wanted to share these cute pictures of my boys; they are growing up so fast it's unbelievable! You are probably wondering what Charlie has in his face. Well, I personally do not like Cadbury easter eggs with the gooey creamy center but i was curious to know if the kids liked them so while we were running errands at the pharmacy i bought them each an egg that they quickly devoured in the car. Of course that meant very chocolaty fingers! I told them to lick them clean (uh, hello! that's the best way to clean up chocolate!) Brady just wiped his hands on his jeans (after i specifically told him not to!) Charlie (that's my boy!) licked his fingers clean, well almost. He started with the pinky, that he stuck in his mouth of course that made the first and middle finger stick up in his face and that is why he's got two chocolate lines up his face. On the whole drive home i kept telling him not to wipe his face clean cause i wanted to take a pic! scrapbooker mom, what can i tell ya!

now off to some cards. here are all the cards i made for my first special order through BellaG Designs. These were all for one of my hubbie's co-worker. hope she likes them!

Day 2 and 3 for the TGF relay

Here's my participation for Day 3 of the TGF CHA relay. We got to work with Toby the bear cub. ok i must say i had a lot of difficulty coloring this guy...

materials:

cs: Prism

pp: Jillibean Soup

stamp: limited digi stamp - the greeting farm

ink: Copic

ribbon: unknown

chipboard: Maya Road

felt: Fancy Pants
