The Very Hungry Caterpillar Game Peaces

Right after Christmas I purchased this game for Penelope. It had these boxed that you put the food in that you earn for the caterpillars in but I thought that the game needed something else so I made these. Kind of like how all the other games have Game Pieces that you can move around the boards this is just like that. Yes they are a little bigger then I had expected but I think they will work for know. I cute them out of White Card Stock and they colored them with marker. If they don’t last very long I will just have to make some smaller ones.

My Husbands Valentine!!

This card I made for Dustin. I liked the verse on Jan’s card she send me from the swap so I hand write it on this card. I used a stamp for the bird and colored it in with markers and a sparkly pen. I also used my Cricut Expression to cut the tree branch and music notes.

Valentines Cupcake

This Cupcake was made with strips of paper that I embossed then stamped and cut. I found the bottom cupcake part at Jo Anns 2 for $5.00 so I ended up with 4 of these bottom parts. I used a piece of foam for the inside to keep the spirals in place.To Download the Directions for this cupcake you can find it on the Scrapbook.ect page at: ScrapbooksEct.com/162 or just click on the header where it say's Valentines Cupcake.

Mom’s Birthday Card

Here is a card that I made for my mom. I used the ribbon form my valentines swap that I received from Jan at Expressive Papers. The card is simple but I liked it that way simply because I did not have a lot of time since this weekend was the Pet Expo and it was on my mom’s birthday. I like how the sides with the ribbon came out and I liked the cupcake. I thought the flower on top of it would be more appropriate then a candle because you now how when people see candles they think age and I didn’t want her to think about here age.

Flickr: Scrap Card Making Valentine Card Swap

This card was made for my friend Andria from Iona-Rose Designs. She is a member of the Scrap Card Making group on Flicker. Along with the card I send the pink ribbon. I think this card turned out so cute. I was very pleased with how nice it turned out, that I wanted to make one for me to keep. I used my Cuttlebug to cut the flowers out and the Cricut Expression for the other stuff, and I added the hearts they were confetti that you find in the party section at Wal-Mart or Party City.

Since I do not drive I had no other choice to call upon my family to help me get Dustin home from Ozona. Thankfully Marian and Jack, my adopted Aunt & Uncle was just sitting at home doing nothing. They came to my rescue. My mom and dad would have been so exhorted to help after working all day and who would open shop the next morning. The little sign on the right says "San Antonio," and on the left "Ozona." Thank havens for special family friends.

Shure Pets Paper for Handmade Party Invitations

Most of you’ll know that I am a distributor of Shure Pet Products. If not then please visit http://amberspawstop.blogspot.com/ or Click on the Download Catalog button on the left margin. I have to have parties and so I came up with this really cute way of getting it more fun for the customer. This is completely optional and up to the customer if they want me to provide this service. Anyways I was going to make the invitations for the parties with this paper. I FINIALY with many awaited days and drama with Jo Ann’s finally got my Paper Pups Cartridge so I am all ready to make the cuties little invitations for the Parties. Oh and if there is a special theme that the Host wants I can do that too.

Penelope's First Halloween

So I have been working on Penelope’s Halloween pages. I know it may seam a little cluttered and crowded but I only had the two pages and I had all these cute pictures. Yeah I could have left some out but it’s so hard to pick. During the day Penelope was a Texas Longhorn Cheerleader and at night she was a black cat. She got lots of candy that she could not eat but she got to try some. She liked the Mini M&M’s, and a small bit of the Resses. I forgot to add that the Our 360 photography group tock the pictures of Penelope in there costume with the blue background.

This card is for the owner of The Circle Bar Travel Lodge in Ozona, TX. My husband was doing some work on there Registers on Thursday and passed out she was so kind to have EMS come out and take him to the near by Hospital and then she let him stay in one of there Hotel rooms. I branded the Texas with there branding that they us as a logo. If you make it to Texas and your passing by Ozona feel free to stop in they have great food and a very nice place to stay. Indoor pool and hot tube. So it maybe cold out now but you can still play in the water. =)

Penelope's Scrapbook Cover Page

So here is my Cover page of Penelope’s Scrapbook. The picture was taken at the Hospital they have a very neat photography group that will come in and take these really nice pictures of your new born in the room with you a day or so later after the baby is born. Then when they mail you the pictures they send you a coupon to get a free picture. We tock advantage of the free picture and this photography group is so neat they come to you at your home and take the pictures for you. I love this group, yes the price is a little high but you are paying for the service. They allow you to get the baby dress and ready while they set up. You get to us props that are special to you instead of there props. I wish I could remember the Studio’s name I think it’s Studio OUR 360 but I can’t be for sure. There is no limit to how many people can be in the picture and no extra cost. When I get the next page finished you can see more of there work.

Penelope's Smile

Here is one of my first pages that I made. My sister-in-law helped me with it. She made the letters, baby stuff and the cute little smile on the left. I improvised with the giggly blue eyes since Penelope has Blue eyes. (I hope they stay that way.) It’s not the greatest I tried overlapping some of the pictures and cutting into the paper to pull the paper over some of the pictures. So of it worked and other did not so well. This is a learning prose’s and this was my first try it’s really not to bad.

Scraptastice Award New Look for Valentines!!

So in honor of Valentines I decided to change the look of the award!! I hope you girls like it, for the new winner will get to place this award on their blog!! Good luck girls!! I would like to change the look of the award for seasonal holidays keep checking back to see what next month may look like. If I run out of time and don’t get the chance to make one or if there is no seasonal holiday in that month the winner of the award will receive the traditional first award.

Bath Time Fun!!

Here are Penelope’s bathtime pictures. These pictures where some of her first times in the baby tub that you have them in before they can play it the real tub. I recycled form a gift bag that had the clear circle on it to use over the bubble circle pictures. I also used stickles to highlight some of the bubbles. Oh this is one of the cutes things about this page maybe later I will go and try to make this a little better. Next to the turtle there is a nursery rhyme that I learned when I was a little girl. “I have a tiny turtle his name it Tiny Tim, I put him in the bath tub to see if he could swim. He drunk up all the water, he ate up all the soap and in the morning he woke up with a bubble in his thought.”

I had some Blue eyes that I thought would have looked cuter but they were just way to much bigger for the penguin. I also used stickles to make the gowned look more like snow.

Message Board

So this is nothing fantastic but it’s part of the New Years Resolutions to clean up and get organized at work. We are such a mess and customers say they called and the messages are getting misplaced so this was my solution hopefully it was a good one. I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the lettering. I got the cock board on sell at Hobby Lobby for 12.99 and I got a discount on top of that so not bad. I hope this works out really nice for us.
