You Wind Me Up!

How cute is this card from Recollections?  It's perfect for a fun boyish LO or card...and those are sometimes hard to find!  


For this card I used Fancy Pants Star paper.  I stamped the robot twice and then cut the body out to add a little extra to the card.  I used dimensionals to raise the card stock as well as the body of the robot.  

Wow! That's all I can say!

I'm a huge fan of Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes over at www.skinnytaste.com as some of you may know.  (I'm not going to lie, I talk about it a lot. haha)  Tonight I tried her recipe for Grilled Peaches and wow!  It was so delicious!!  I had to restrain myself from licking my plate. :)

This was the first time I tried greek yogurt and I wasn't sure what to expect.  It was pretty good!  Click "grilled peaches" above for the link to the recipe.  You won't be sorry!

Boy Birthday Card

The Mr. Campy line is so darn cute!  Here's a card my hubs actually helped me design.  I asked him the usual, "what do you think?" and he had the idea of making the car/star movable.  How awesome is he?! His mechanical ability comes in pretty handy. :)  

Father's Day Card

I made this card over the weekend for Father's Day.  I haven't started working on one yet for my father, but this card will be perfect for my son to give Willie along with his gift.  It's simple but that's just the way my husband would like it. :)

Fancy Pants!

One of my huge, and I mean HUGE favorites is Fancy Pants for their paper, embellies, tags, rub-ons, etc...well you get the point. :)   

I did this LO last night with the Holly Jolly line from 2007.  I found a great deal I believe on peachycheap.com a few months back and it came with this fun paper, some rub ons, ribbon and a sheets of tags.  I used Thickers pink glittery chipboard letters (how often do you get to do that on a boy layout!?) and the cute little tree, star and the little circle are also Fancy Pants, but is from their Happy Holidays line.  I used bling leftover from a mini album from Michael's for the tree.

More to come....

A few LOs I finished last night.  If you're on BBC and love to scrap or are just interested to know more, swing by the Crop board and join us! :)


In February of 2009 we took a trip to Thailand and Malaysia, and I have yet to scrap these photos.  I know, I know!  You're not the only one telling me to get on the ball!  (love you babe. :D) Wait, I had yet to scrap a page until last night that is.


We had a white space challenge and I found a really cute LO at another blog that I wanted to lift.   I used DCWV cardstock, Queen & Co. felt, Thickers (umbrella), Fiskars punch, Prima flower, Basic Grey brad, and a Fancy Pants stamp.

Here I used Cosmo Cricuts Mr. Campy line, a Fiskars punch for the brown border, Making Memories flowers, and brown ricrac from CTMH . For the letters I used Designer's Calendar and the paper I used was actually a patterned paper from K&C Company.  Lots of collaboration going on here! haha
