Where have I been???

Wow!  It's been about 6 weeks since I've blogged.  Seems like forever!

Where have I been???  Busy, just busy.  No other excuses than that.  

Fear not!  I've been busy crafting, working, making memories with the family, going to convention, taking mini vacations with my family.  AND I'm back, back to blogging!  

So here's a little recap :)

School got out the first week of June.  Last year I made this super cool sign.  I used Artbooking, Art Philosophy and a black foam board.  I placed the "last" star on velcro, so that I could swap it out with a "1st" sign (for the first day of school). 





Then Father's Day happened!  My daughter and I painted baseball glove canvases for my hubs and my father in law.  

I created this fun Father's Day card using strips of Jackson paper and the Best Dad Ever stamp set.  So quick and easy!  


I created this mini album for my dad, filling it with photos of the family.  He LOVED it!  I used the My Crush For Him book.  


Then the 4th of July came around.  a few of us made these fun curly mesh wreaths.  




Last, but not least.... CTMH Convention at Disneyland.  Here's a gift I made for my team!  I created note cards for them to write down one or two things they wanted to do right away, and then save for later.  Things they learned from each day of convention.  I decorated the front cover with some stamping (Framework Alphabet & a retired convention set) and some Disney washi tape.  

Stay tuned for LOTS more from Convention :)

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
