Copper Weekend

I received copper paper from my honey for Valentine's Day, so here's what I came up with....

Baby shower gifts for attendees

It's Super Bowl Sunday, so what is everyone doing?  We are going to stay at home & watch the big game on our new TV.  I was pretty creative yesterday & wanted to post a few of my crafts & cards.  Check out my new cards & scrapbook pages under artwork.

We are starting our scrapbook group up again on Feb 19th, we will be working on the Florentine collection.  I will post the layouts & the photo sizes this week, contact me if you want to join the group.

2012

Now that all the holiday's are over it's time for our New Year's resolutions, getting in shape, eatting better and making all the changes we do at the beginning of the year. I have been pretty good about keeping my papercrafting resolutions. I had made a pack with myself to use all my cards & all my "products" before I made new ones. I did so by donating cards to Packages from Home. That was a good feeling. I still have tons of photos that I need to get into books, so for 2012 I am not going to print any new photos I am going to put all my printed photos onto paper. I have gotten off to a good start I have completed 8 pages. I got 6 new cards made yesterday & I plan to work on getting 8 more pages done tomorrow on MLK Day.

Close to My Heart is coming out with a new catalog in Feb. I am not thrilled about the papers! There are 4 of 8 that I will use. We will start scrapbooking Florentine, followed by Victory, Cruisin and and Footloose. We might get to Stella, Pemberly, Lucy. I will not be using the Superhero paper unless someone commissions me to do some pages for them.

Please check out the new papers shown in the blog weigh in on your opinions and let me know if you are interested in having a scrabook or card making night.

I hope all your 2012 Resolutions and plans come together for you & you have a very creative 2012.

Thanksgiving

It's here...the holiday's will be in full force in just a few days. Yesterday I worked on my pillow boxes/place cards for Thanksgiving dinner. Here's a tip, once you "puff" the box it is hard to get the cardstock to bend & stick to the "pillow" You want to keep your designs on the pillow "round or oval". It's a lesson I learned so I thought I would save you the frustration. All designs were cut on the Cricut with the Art Philosphy Cartridge & the stamps are Harvest Home C01419.

I want to take this time to THANK you for following my blog, stamping or scrapbooking with me or simply being my friend & supporting my crafting efforts. I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with love and good wishes.
Always, Lee Ann

Nanny's Album

I finally completed Nanny's Album. I will be giving it to her for Thanksgiving. It is very stressful making an album to give to someone else I hope she likes it.

October

Fall is finally here, or at least cooler weather for AZ, which means yard work for us. We have been really busy working in the yard, moving dirt for a new patio extension, new slab for shed relocation & a larger patio on the side. With that came a tree relocation, roto tilling, trenching a new sprinkler system. We have the hardest dirt in the world. I have moved more of it than I care to share.

In the midst of all that, we had a house guest for a few days in which we were able to make these 3 cute litte boxes and chocolate chip cookies for the them. All cut outs were made with the Cricut Art Philosphy cartridge from Close to My Heart.

Labor Day Weekend

It's been a busy weekend trying to clean up the yard and doing some tree trimming. I did manage to get a few cards made. Here is Nanny's card for her 90th Birthday which is coming up September 19th. If you'd like to send her a card for her 90th Birthday, her address is: Laurie Silveira 2604 W. Berridge Ln #C109, Phoenix, AZ 85017. Thank you in advance for making her day special.
