FIF #12 - FOREVER YOUNG

It is so funny but I had originally planned out so much more for this but my son told me he had a birthday party for his friends sister 1 hour before the party and he wanted to go. By this time I already had company over and I was in the middle of something. I had no time for a run to the store so I decided to make this really quick. I made the plaque and the card to match. I also did not have time to take the pictures I needed so I just used the cell to snap really quick photos so I am sorry about the quality of the pictures. I am actually quiet proud of myself because this whole process took me less than 30 minutes!!! WOW, does not happen too often for me!!

I might not have it anymore but I am going to post it into the Flaunt It Friday challenge #12

Hope you like!!!!

Friendship Blog Hop

I am so very sorry I have been totally distracted this week and posted this for the wrong date. Hopefully I did not throw off too many people!


This hop starts with Jennifer at the Crafty Card Gallery if you did not start here then please go to Jennifers blog and start from the beginning so you don't miss any of the great blogs!!

If you came to me from Jennifer from here then you are in the right spot!!

I have always been a fan of Hello Kitty and when I thought of this hop I immediatly thought of my special little kitty. I used my Hello Kitty Font cartridge for this and made the cuts at 4 1/4. I also used my scrappy moms sentiment. The background paper is actually from Walmart but I think its cute.

Valentine things I made this weekend

I was feeling crafty!!! I had a day of scrapping planned with a friend of mine for her birthday and I was so excited that I could not sleep because she had been out of town and I have been scrapping alone for too long it feels like...so these are a few of the many things I created in a day while sitting on the dining room floor so that I could be with all four of my kids at the same time, FUN!!!

I also made the Expression card from the previous post and a two page LO that I will be posting next!

Blog Hops!!!

Just for Him Valentine's Day Blog Hop

This hop starts with Holly and you should be coming to me from Lori if not then head on over to Holly so you can see all the great ideas for HIM!!

I thought this was such a cute idea because the men normally are the ones required to give for Valentine's but in this case we are making for him instead. I have a number of things I am working on for my Mr. Right but I thought these images were so cute.




I used my New Pink By Design spanish stamps and also my new Chore chart and Nifty Fifties for the card.

I hope you all like!!!

Now head on over to Janie for her wonderful project!

KinderStampo's My Vintage Valentine Blog Hop

Hello, thanks for stopping by and you should have arrived from Jill and if you did then you are in the right place but if not then please start from the beginning with KinderStampO herself because I would not want you to miss any of the wonderful projects and techniques.

For this hop we needed to make something for Valentine that was vintage. I had so many ideas but I wanted to do something different. I am happy with the way it came out. I painted the wooden container with a few layers of black and red paint and then I used Tim Holtz crackle for a drama and I hope that the photos give it justice because in person it looks so cool.

I used Ornamental Iron for the from and back, some prima flowers and lot and lots of pearls.
I wanted to use this envelope and stamp from Sweethearts so I made it stand out of the box.

I used lots of Tattered Angels Glimmermist too but I am not sure if you can see the shine well enough

This is one of the sides, can you see the paint effects?

I know the back is not the focal point but once the candy is gone this can be used for other things so I decorated the back too. Here you can really see the crackle

The right side of the front and the layers of paint really show through here, YAY!!!



Hope you like!!!!

I have some more digi stamps for one lucky person all you have to do is leave a comment and if you like what you see become a follower.

A LO for a friend




double layer

fit in my Pink by design stamp from the Jan stamp set

the butterfly and butterfly dots from the same set

I hope that you can see it enough to let me know what you think.

I had the flower bling sticker as inspiration and I hope that I did the bling and the photos justice.

Thank you in advance for giving me your opinions!!!
