Thursday - Home Decor with Jillibean Soup

Happy Thursday,
This week is moving so quickly again.  I have been busy creating and reading.  I started the 2nd book in the Hunger Games trilogy and it is really good!  Trying to juggle everything.  At least next week is Spring Break!!! Hooray!!!

I want to share with you a home decor item that I made.  It took me a little bit of time because I was squeaking it in between other projects.  I wanted something to put under my Easter Egg Tree.  I came up with this little scene made with my Silhouette and Jillibean Soup Chicken Dumpling Soup.  Can I just say that I am totally addicted to Jillibean.  I can't seem to get enough.  Well, here is my Easter decoration.  To adhere all the little shapes, I used my various Xyron adhesives!

I found the old distressed frame marked down at Michael's and I new it was perfect for my scene.  I just love it and the boys love it too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with a new project.  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

WOYWW 3/28

Happy Wednesday!!

Things here have been calm this week.  The weather has been cooler so that means that we have been inside after school and I have been able to get some work done.  It has been great working in my craftroom again. I have missed it.  I took the little break last week with reading and then the warmer weather so I have really missed my desk!

Speaking of  my desk- I am linking up with Julia over at the Stamping Ground.  Here is peek at my desk. I am currently working on my Design Team work with the April kit.  Let me tell you this kit totally ROCKS. 

If you want to check out the April kit please go to Burlap and Buttercups and take a look. It is awesome!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I will be back tomorrow with a new project.  See you then! Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Tuesday Flowers for Mom

Happy Tuesday,

I am popping in today to show you another layout that I finished up from last Spring.  My boys were outside in the back yard and they were picking "flowers" for me.  They brought me a huge bouquet and I nearly started to cry with the kindness of my boys.  They are just so sweet.  If you haven't peeked at the layout- the flowers were actually the weeds from our yard! LOL!  Oh I love my boys!!

supplies

cardstock- bazzill

paper- jillibean soup

Monday in May

Happy Monday,
Did you all have a great weekend?  We did but for my taste it was just a bit too busy!  We went to Lego Fest and I have never seen so many Legos in all my life.  The boys had a great time.  We then had a a date night which was very nice.  I love date nights with the hubby.  Sunday was just trying to do everything that I usually do on Saturdays and Sundays.  No reall crafting going on.  The temperatures are going down a bit this week so hopefully I will get some in this week!!

I don't scrap chronologically anymore, and I don't put an real pressure on myself to get things scrapped, but I don't like being a year behind.  Does that make sense.  So I kind of been  playing catch up just a bit.  Here is one of my favorite layouts of all times and I think this is one of my favorite collections from Jillibean Soup. 

Each May the town that I am from has a little festival and we take the boys every year.  It is so much fun.  These are the photos from That Day in May 2011.

Supplies

paper- jilllibean soup

diecuts and stickers- jillibean soup

cardstock- bazzill

twine- the twinery

stamps- ali edwards

ink- jenni bowlin

misc- paper crimper, tiny attacher, fiskars border punch, sewing machine

I hope everyone has a great day.  I will be back tomorrow with another project.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful and crafty day!

Friday Project Life Week 7

Happy Friday!!
Oh I am so glad it is the weekend.  We are jammed pack every minute.  Tonight is my crop.  So excited!  I have a couple of layouts that I want to work on and I want to get some project life in.  Then Saturday we are getting up early and heading out to LEGOFEST in Cincinnati.  My boys LOVE Legos so we decided to go.  We have no idea what to expect but I think it will be fun.  The brochure said "millions" of legos.  I would have to say that is Lego heaven.  What are your plans?

I finished my book The Hunger Games yesterday and as soon as I got home from school I bought the 2nd book -Catching Fire.  I am so addicted.  I was going to take a break but I just had to find out what happens next.  If you haven't read this series yet- I know it came out about 3 years ago- I highly recommend it. 

Today I want to share my Week 7 of my project life. 

Left Side--

Insert- I had so many cute pictures from the boy's parties I inserted the 4x6 insert. I was able to include 12 more photos.  I love this.

Right Side

I once again used my Silhouette to create some 3x4 cards and I also used imdb to get the movie poster of The Secret World of Ariette.-- Totally awesome movie by the way!!

I hope everyone has a great day and a wonderful and crafty weekend.  I will be back on Monday with a new project.  See you then!

Thursday My Snowmen

Happy Thursday!

Still no craftying going on in my house.  I have been totally addicted to reading.  I hope to finish The Hunger Games today.  I bought it on Tuesday and will finish it today.  Awesome read!!!!

I know it is Spring but I have been going through all my layouts and am finding a TON that I did for the store that I have not posted here.  Sometimes I totally forget about some layouts and this is one of them.  We really didn't have an major snow this year but we did get a light dusting.  The boys went crazy and went outside for about 2 hours running around.  Here is a double page featuring the Echo Park Winter collection. 

Sorry for the lopsided photo!

Supplies

cardstock- bazzill

paper, stickers- echo park

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with a look at my Project Life.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!!
