Cupcakes

Hello everybody!

Does anyone else have a cupcake obsession?

I really love taking pics of them, buying them, admiring them, hoarding patterned paper consisting of them.

But here's a secret... I'm not a big fan of eating them. LOL! I'd much rather have a piece of good ole cake, thank you very much! Weird, huh?

Here's a birthday card featuring some of said paper collection. The XOXO glitter on the bottom left were adhered using Collage Pauge. I just love how this glue dries with sparkles!

Monster!

As I'm writing this post, the little monster is:

1. running around hitting his head on the bars of the treadmill (that is in the craft room).

2. lining up my glues, paint bottles, hand sanitizer (under adult supervision, of course).

3. learning how to open my Copics (AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!).

And you wonder why my blog posts are always short? :)

Here's a l.o. of the dude during Halloween 2009. He was an astronaut and I always, ALWAYS must buy an accessory to go along with it (in this case, that little monster alien).

Thought those cute Monster PP from My Little Shoebox would be fitting! Added some misting for dimension.

Have a great one!

Happy Easter!

Just couldn't resist these cute stickers from Target. I believe they are from American Greetings. I don't really give out Easter cards but thought I'd make a card for each major holiday to my tater tot.

Tried keeping it a surprise, but he's here looking at the computer screen as I type this. He's very much into animals these days. In fact, most of his words are composed of animal sounds.

Bok kok. Chicken.

Woof or Arf. Dog.

He growls for lions and dinosaurs.

Moo. Cow.

I am trying to find a nice Easter outfit for Mattie. We usually go to church with family and have a lunch or dinner at one of our relative's houses. We are Catholic so it's a pretty big deal for us.

Not sure if I'm going to buy him a suit like last year though.



Wasn't he cute? It was his first suit at 10 months.

I did find a similar, pink plaid version of this fedora for kids.

I know what you're thinking.... Pink?? For a boy? Hey, what can I say? I am a fashion-forward mommy who thinks little boys are allowed to wear pink. You know what they say...men who wear pink are comfortable with their sexuality and very confident. I think it'll be super cute! Anyway, the plaid part is blue.... so there! LOL!

So back to the card. We were at Target and I was looking for items to make him an Easter basket. Here's the one from last year.



And then I saw the stickers, and I just couldn't resist! The PP are from My Mind's Eye (So Sophie). The letters are from Jenni Bowlin Studio. And the background paper is from Basic Grey.

Thanks for visiting!

Have a Monster-rific Day!

Another monster-themed project!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend! I'm off for four days...yay!!!

Take A Leap!

Good afternoon, everybody! The tot is asleep, and I was able to whip up a couple of cards. And, behold, I'm actually going to list my supplies. Yipppeee!! Today, it feels like spring. Super sunny, almost in the 70s. Actually low 60s but we've been having lots of rain so any sunshine is welcome! Another spring-like card. The elements are mostly from Studio Calico.

Supplies:
1. Patterned paper - Studio Calico (clouds), We R Memory Keepers (round flowers).
2. Crushed Paper (for the 'water') - Jest Charming.
3. Spiral Clip - Creative Impressions.
4. Flower sticker (cut for the 'sun' and 'lilypad') - Sassafras.
5. Stamp - The Greeting Farm.
6. Miscellaneous - Cardstock, Neenah paper, Copics, 3D adhesives.
