This is great for Scrappers!!!

WORDLE.NET

OK I love this!!! I was browsing through Creating Keepsakes magazine (Jan 2009 page 119) and saw this cool page made with the program. I gave it a try and I love it. I made one for my son and one for my daughter. The link to the ones I completed:







I printed it out on a color printer and plan to use it on the 12 x 12 page somehow. Check it out, it's really a great program and best part it doesn't have to be downloaded to your computer.

There are a few cons, I couldn't find a save button, you can't go back to add words and there is no search for the gallery but otherwise, this is awesome. Try it out, I am having a blast!!

Happy Easter

Thank you Card

I had the a few days off from work and was able to get a few cards done between watching the kids, cleaning and cooking. I loved every minute of it, I miss the kids when I am at work, and so whenever I have time off, I take them out of afterschool and daycare.
I made this card for my friend JoAnn…she just moved into her new apartment and in the process gave me gave me all her Disney movie VHS tapes for the kids and some beautiful frames. JoAnn’s favorite color is blue and she loves butterflies and bunnies. I used Stampin up cardstock and patterned paper. The stamp is Sugar Nellie Peek a bunny. The thanks stamp is a Michael’s or Joann dollar stamp. Since I can’t give her a card without a butterfly, I added the butterflies to the thanks and to the flowers on the image. Thanks for looking.

Thank you Card and SCACD blog candy

Here is a card I made using an image my friend Heather sent me. This image is Willow with hot chocolate by Elizabeth Bell.

Thanks Heather I simply love this image. If you don't know Heather by now, go on over and meet her, she makes the most amazing cards.

Scout Bake off

The Boy Scout bake off was yesterday and the theme was fantasy. I asked my son what he wanted to make and instantly he said a red dragon. I am not the best at this sort of stuff but I had the idea well maybe I can just get away with just a head if I put the dragon in a cave...it worked for Logan.

I have to give my nephew Donovan most of the credit, he shaped the head and put most of the cave together...he frosted the cave and I just put some crushed oreo cookies on it. The castle was my husbands idea we had him carve out the shape after it was in the mold. My nephew frosted the castle while Logan and I cut what seemed like hundreds of red circles and layered it on the dragon head. In the end the cake was a family affair. My favorite part beside the dragon scales was the flames coming out of the mouth. I had Logan started it, Donovan added the orange and I finished it with the yellow and red...I wanted those flames coming off the cake and we were able to do it with no problems.

This cake took us two days, but it was worth it. When my nephew walked into judging room where the scouts were hanging out, the scouts mobbed my nephew like he was a superstar. That moment and my sons happiness was the highlight of my night. So in the end we won a Gold wooden spoon for "Best Presentation" and the award that I wanted to win the Blue painted spoon "Scout's Choice". You can see Logan below and how proud he is holding the spoons.





Now, if I could just get this red dye off my hands, I could put this cake behind me LOL.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Thank You Card

I know it's been a while but I wanted to share a card I finished for a friend. This card was made using copic markers, I love them. I only have 29 right now, but I plan on expanding slowly. This is Winter Wonderland by the Sugar Nellie company. I love many of there stamps, they are just too cute. Enjoy the card. Hugs

Melanie's Birthday Card

I haven't done any scrapping in a while but I knew my friend Melanie would want a handmade birthday card that was meant just for her. It took me a little while but here is what I came up with. Melanie is a huge Mets fan therefore I took this image of Sophia and wrote in "Mets" on the teddy bear and used the Mets colors of Blue and Orange. I punched out the space for a sentiment using SU's horizontal punch and the Birthday wishes stamp is GinaK Punchy words, which was a gift from Heather.

I gave Melanie the card today, she loved it. Happy Birthday Melanie!!!!

Altered Starbucks Bottle

My sister asked me to put together an idea for favors for her son's graduation party. So I decided to alter a starbucks bottle. His school colors are Red and Black and although the bottle isn't complete I wanted to put it on my blog. The finishing touches will be added at my sisters this weekend. We plan on putting a small tag with the words "thank you" and attaching it to the silver thread and filling the bottle with kisses. My sister loved the idea so now the hard part is getting 28 bottles. She has 6 and I have 10. Let the drink-feast begin, we still need 12 bottles.
