Wedding pomanders

For those who don't already know, I'm getting married in June. The stress is starting to take it's toll and I still have 3 months! Geebus! Tonight I decided to get started on some pomanders that I will use to line the aisles at the wedding. I was able to get the silk flowers at the Dollar Tree and the styrofoam balls at Walmart for cheap! The ribbon was the most expensive part... haha. Anyhow, I LOVE how these came out. I was so nervous to do these, but now I realize that I was just being paranoid. I have some more to make and I will post pics of those when they are all done. :-)

San Francisco Layout

It's been awhile since this trip, but I'm just finally making myself sit down and get all these photos scrapbooked! Of course getting new paper and embellishments make it so much easier! This layout was made using the American Crafts Travel page kit. I had actually went to Marshall's a few days ago and they had a ton of American Crafts kits for less that $5 each! It was such a steal! Anyways, I love how this page turned out. The colors are awesome, and the foam letters could not have been more perfect. Love, love, love this!

My poor blog!

Ugh, I've totally neglected my poor blog! Things have been pretty busy lately, and I have not been staying on top of my crafting. It's a sad thing too! Aside from working 40-60 hours a week, I'm attempting to plan my wedding that is coming up in June. It's amazing how much work goes into one day of an event.

Anyways, I am making myself a promise right now to stay more on top of my blog and my crafting. I absolutely love doing it and need to stop pushing it aside. So, here's to a "new" blog. Cheers!

Valentines Cupcake Toppers

Just for fun I made some cupcake toppers. They came out sooooo cute! They were cut from the Simply Charmed cartridge at 2.5". Each one is on a "child-safe" stick- meaning no sharp points. :-) Not sure what I plan to do with them yet, but I sure do love them!

Quick and Simple Card

I've been working like crazy on Valentines treats for the past few days and decided to take a quick break from that and make a card. This card is a pretty simple design, but I love the combination of colors. I am really trying to break out of my shell when it comes to combining colors. I'm not very good at it and I often stay where it feels "safe" to me. These colors were definitely outside the box for me (or at least the combination of these colors.) The tag with the bird on it, and the paper, are all scrap items I've been hanging onto for quite some time. I'm not sure what collection they're from, or even when I got them. Sometimes it's fun to just use up the random stuff that is laying around. Tomorrow I plan to work on some notebooks with my Yourstory Photo machine. We'll see how that goes! Until then, good night!

Valentines Treats #1

Since I have 1 week left of winter vacation I thought I would get started on my Valentines goodies. I decided to make sour cream containers filled with tootsie rolls. The skunk is cut from Create a Critter at 2", and the scalloped shapes are cut from Accent Essentials at 2 3/4" and 2 1/2". These came out so stinkin' cute! (No pun intended!) Hope you enjoy. I'm sure there is more to come.
