School Layout

This was an example I made for my friend who teaches pre-k. I made like 20 or 30 for her to give out at their graduation, she decided not to do their names as it would be too time consuming, and she added a picture to them.. It was quite time consuming to do, because the apples are layered.. These are not great pictures, but I did not have good lighting at our old house. I used Doodlecharms and Base Camp for this.

Exploding Box Album

I made this for them as well, and I guess I didn't take a picture of the top, because I can't find it. I used Mini-Mongrams to cut out the scalloped mats, I cannot remember the sizes, I made these projects I think in late 2006... I used Stampin Up patterned paper for this. I made it real simple, with just a few embellishments because I wanted the pictures and journaling to shine.. I found the instructions for the box, online somewhere, I wish I could remember the site so I could give credit, but I just can't remember... These boxes are sooo much fun to make, and they just look sooo nice on display.

Baby Coaster Album

This was another part of the gift I gave to them, it is a coaster album, I made it really simple, just patterned paper, and a few embellishments, there was enough room for about a 3x3 picture, I thought it would be a good thing to house all those wallet pictures you get from having your pictures done. The lettering was done with All Mixed Up.

Baby Bouquet

I made this about two years ago, it was for our youth pastor and his wife, and their first child, The onesie is attached to an envelope which we used to place a gift card inside... This was my first ever gift to someone using my cricut. I used New Arrival for everything.

Update

I am slowly coming to grips with losing the baby, and am trying to move on so to speak.... It is really hard, but I am not the first woman to go through this, and unfortunately I won't be the last... My heart goes out to any woman who has faced this, it is absolutely horrendous... I don't care if they say there is no life early on, we all know there is, otherwise I don't think I would feel sooo empty.... I do believe I will see my child in heaven, and I know he or she is in Jesus' arms, I just wish it could be my arms..... I am going to get some of my old projects on here, and this new project my sister wants me to enter in the Today's Momma Contest, so I am going to get around to doing all that.... I am sure it will help me to keep my mind off of things, especially all the what if's.... And if I don't enter that contest my sister will probably hurt me..... lol!!
Okay so hopefully you all won't mind all the pictures I am about to post, the next couple of days!!
Alright, off to find them in all my files and get them organized....
:)

Sad News...

Well, I thought I would come on here, with all the stuff I did while on vacation, and talk about that and the fun I had on Fourth of July. I know I still can, but I am not in a happy way right now... I lost the baby I was carrying last Thursday... It was absolutely horrific, I wouldn't stop bleeding, and I lost sooo much blood, my blood pressure went really low, and I passed out... I am totally devastated in every way possible... I know God gives us what we can handle but I am not sure about all this... I am really broken... I am going to try and be ok, and do what I need to, to move on, but it is really hard, really hard to still be in sooo much pain physically, and know the life you were carrying is gone.... It is a devastating cruel thing to have to go through...
I hope to have some happy posts soon, I just need a little time...

Paper Bag Album

Still figuring out the picture thing.... The top is the inside of the matching paperbag album, I kept it simple, and continued the same pages throughout... I used my cuttlebug to emboss some of the pages.. I am not sure where this paper is from, I think it is some I bought from a LSS in South Carolina.... I cut the scallop inserts out with my cricut, I used the mini- monograms cartridge. I used the SU punch and stamp again too.

Thanks for looking!!!!!

Simple Baby Card

This is a card I made for our youth pastor, and his wife, they were having a little boy.
I used my cricut for the side scallop, and I think the paper is from DCWV, one of their baby stacks... The smaller scallop was a SU punch, and the stamp in the middle is from SU. Not too fancy, but I like simple.. :) I made this about a year ago....

New Blog

Well, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and start a blog.... I am hoping in the next few days to have some of my projects posted that I have completed, some older, and some I have recently finished. I also hope to get updated pictures of my scraproom, and share those as well.
I love stampin, and Stampin Up is my favorite company... I just love how everything coordinates, and it is just such a nice quality... I sometimes go a little crazy over Stampin Up stuff!!! LOL!! My aunt is my demonstrator, and we have alot of fun....
I also love my cricut!! It really has helped my creativity bloom....
Well, bear with me as this is a work in progress, I hope you all enjoy seeing the projects I have to share...
