A&R Wedding Album



If anyone is really wondering why it took me so long to make something to post...its because I told myself in May I wouldn't make anything until this album was finished...it too k all summer for me to just want so desperately to have it off my back.  I am not sure why because it really didn't take to long to put together..its just I hate cropping and mating pictures...anyways this  will probably take the next few days to post. but here are pictures of the cover and the first few pages.
 

I'll Post a few more pages tomorrow.
The font is from Cricut Cartridge, Lyrical Letters.

My Mom's Family Frame

My Friend Wendy made this adorable Family Frame and Wicked Frame on her blog months ago. I have wanted to make one for my mom forever. I bought her a frame intending to get it made before we went Camping with my parents in Aug...Her Birthday was while we were there.

I never did get it made so last week I worked on this project.  I needed a few additional SU supplies, that my DD brought with her from Utah on her visit last weekend. 
Now it is all completed please visit Wendy's blog(Link On Side bar) for details on Measurements etc for making your own frame.  I used Spice Cake my new favorite DP from SU. Early Espresso, Pear Pizazz, Pool Party, and Peach Parfait ( I was out of More Mustard, thankfully also delivered by DD)
I used my Bloom Cricut cart to cut the gate and floral pieces, And Plantin' School Book to  cut the letters.   a Sizzix die to cut the swirls, from a swirly corner cut. And SU Sizzlit's for the Butterflies.  Any questions just ask.

My daughter also brought the Wedding album back to her sister in UT.  I will be ready with that blog post in a few days.  May be we can set a record in the Month of November with Number of blog post wouldn't that be nice..
   Until Later.... Happy Stamping!

All Caught Up!

I know I promised Pictures, but alas I have none.  Last week I went to Florida and I got to visit with my two Grandsons and Daughters and Son In Laws...It was a fun trip. When I came home I spent  Tues night at Dawn O's making 13 cards.  it was a fun evening and she does it the last Tues of the month...

I quickly put my cards in envelopes and addressed them and mailed them with out taking pictures. then yesterday I made the last 6 cards I needed to make so I could be all caught up on my  "need to do" Projects. I am so happy they are all done and off my back.  Hopefully next week I will actually have pictures to share.  also  the 8th of Nov I should be able to start posting pictures of the album I worked so much on in Oct.

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!

I'm here

So I had a very busy summer. I didn't get many cards made and I was always making them at the last minute to get into the mail.  I finally have recovered from summer, and got most of my "Procrastinated Projects" cleaned up and organized around the house.  This last week I worked a lot on my DD's Wedding album my procrastinated Craft Project, but I cant post pictures until  when I get it delivered to her in Nov.! This week I hope to make a few cards I can actually post Pictures of, I am behind about 20 family Birthday Cards!  Thanks For Visiting! 
Until then ...Happy Stamping!

My Other VSN unposted card

I really like how this turned out...I also got it in th email late but hopefully my Friend will forgive me I am sure it has arrived by now.  I love the look of a quilted background. and I like how these colors went together. I used several Embossing folders Once Upon  Princess, Tartan Plaid and Dots all Cuttlebug.  SU "You're a Gem" was used for the Sentiment.. ..need to use this set more. I used my oval punches to accent the sentiment...and for cardstock I used SU Certainly  Celerly, a Bulk Kraft and a Turquiose from my stash probably both from Michaels.  SU Early Espresso was used for Cardstock and ink. The ribbon is from my Stash green from last junes wedding the turquoise and Brown are Offray Purchased at Walmart.

He came a few days sooner than expected.  I used Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss, and Melon Mambo. I embossed with Cuttlebug Dots, and Victoria.

I used mySU Cupcake and Decorative Label and MS Arched Lattice punch.
The SU stamp sets are Eat Cake and Whimsical Words

Until Later (Hopefully Sooner) ... Happy Stamping!

Almost Mini-VSN

last Friday night in the chaos of my house on a Friday night I mananged to make  2 cards for the Mini VSN. Also in the chaos I never uploaded them to my computer nor took pictures of them.
One got used by my FIL on Sunday Evening as it didnt have a sentiment and he wanted a card to give my DD for her College Graduation. So I managed to get a picture of one and so I thought I would share it here.
It was made for this Sketch...and by the way a very odd and akward sketch at that I think I did okay with it but mind you it is a difficult sketch to use. It was hard to get a good flow going...I think I managed by using the purple gems to get a flow but you be the judge what do you think.
I will have to get the ingredient list and post it later I know I wrote it out, but I have a ton to do to get my DD's Birthday gifts in the mail.
Untill Later ...Happy Stamping!
