Bracelet Fun

I've been asked about where I purchased the bracelets. I bought these from Fire Mountain Gems. You can find them here. If you have any other questions please feel free to email me direct at ibecakes@airadvantage.net.



Demo friend Patty Bennett made some of these bracelets and of course I had to give them a try. Way too cute and fun to make. Thanks Patty! I used Cutie Pie DSP, build a brads and rhinestone brads. If anyone would like more details please feel free to contact me. If I have enough interest I'll do a class on these as well. Thanks for stopping by.

A Lovely Lilac

You know me. Make one, now make them in different colors. These petals are a little smaller and I used the oval punches for the leaves. You could use the oval punches for the flowers as well, but I like the pointiness of the petals. Thanks for looking.

Good Luck Froggie

Can you tell I'm havin' fun today? I've been doing some blog hopping (pardon the pun) LOL and found this card here by Amy Taylor. She even has a tutorial for making the cap. So simple, yet very cute. Check it out. This is my version. Enjoy!

Cherish

Good Monday morning to you! I'm sure many of you are enjoying a day off today. Days off are cherished to me. It means my family is home, which lately isn't very often. I guess Frank and I are in a whole new stage of life. In fact the other night we had gone to the movies and the girls were with us and after getting a bite to eat it was close to 10:00 pm. Lindsay asked if it was alright if she didn't come home right away. Of course I told her it was fine, but I turned to Frank and said, "Remember when it was 10:00 pm and we thought the night was just getting started too? Now instead we look at 10:00 pm as the night is over." Sad, but true. *grin*

Anyway this is a card that I had in my head ever since I saw this one created by jomumo4 over on SCS. You can find her card here. This wouldn't be the kind of card you would send in the mail, but I think it would be a nice one to hand give or display. The colors I used were Pretty in Pink, Apricot Appeal and So Saffron (flower center) DSP. Inks were Certainly Celery and White Gel Pen. Accessories were Pewter Build a Brad and Vintage Brads. Want to learn how to make one? Give me a call and we can set up a time and I'll show you how.

Have a great day!

Scrappin' Good Time

Good morning! We had a great time scrapbooking on Friday and I found out that there are other people as obsessed about "tools" as I am. Not to mention any names---ahmmmm, Ruth! Oh did I say that? Well anyway sorry about not posting for the past week. One reason is that I wanted to post these pics, but Brooke has been hauling the book around with her. That girl really needs to work on her self esteem. Maybe Mrs. Kolar could help her with that at school? LOL So anyway here they are. I actually got 8 pages done total and I have 2 more to just finish up a little on. Aren't you proud of me? I used up some old SU designer paper that I've been hoarding for just the right pages and yes, that is Cool Caribbean used as well. If anyone has some 12 x 12 that they would be willing to part with I'd be more than happy to buy it from you. That's one color I just can't seem to get over. Anyway, that's it for now, but hopefully I'll have more for you later this week. If you have any questions as to things I used on these pages please feel free to contact me. Have a wonderful day.

No Stampin' Today

Hey my stampin' friends. I'm off to visit my sister Carin for a couple of days and to attend an all day scrapbooking event tomorrow with her. I haven't been up to her place since New Years so I'm looking forward to getting away. In fact I haven't even been out of Huron county in awhile. Speaking of getting away.......did I mention that I'll be attending SU's convention is Salt Lake City the end of July? Frank and I will be flying out on July 29 and will be gone for 6 days. I can hardly wait. It will be so much to see all the new things SU will be offering and learning lots of new things to come home and share with you. More on this later.

Anyway, I hope when I get back from my sister's that I have some scrapbook pages to show you. I'll see you in a couple of days.

Mom's Day Card

Here is the card I gave my mom yesterday. Not real fancy, pretty none the less. IMO My sister Michele and I bought her a CM picture sorter. She's been wanting to get her pics organized and we thought this would be a perfect gift. Ok, I will be back later with more. Thanks for stopping by.
