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 :)

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
