Evidence of Fun!

I have been trying to upload some pages for days! My internet is either acting up, the power is out or I am just too busy with life in general. I made myself sit down to day and take some time to share these pages. I just love these pictures! These are from a field day at the school last spring. My B had such a fun time! He was a great sport and participated so well...it was wonderful! I really wanted to focus on the pictures so I kept the embellishments at a minimum. The base of the cards is textured Creamy Carmel. The spotted paper is from a retired SU packet from last year. I think it was called Playgroup(?) I only had two strips of the paper left so I used one on each side. They don't even reach across the whole page, but that works here. I used some celery grosgrain to give the paper a strong edge and mounted a couple pictures in the same color to keep the flow. The circles are cut from More Mustard. I used rub ons from the Anchored set for the circle words and the stars. These rub ons are SO fun and easy to use! The title is rubberstamped. I got this stamp "evidence" from a girlfriend of mine. I LOVE it! I think it is from Stampers anonymous. I hand wrote "of" and stamped FUN with the big deal alphabet. I stamped the words with my basic black classic pad. I love my craft pads, but when it comes to black, I prefer the classic for my scrap books. The craft is just a bit too think and hard to work with unless I am embossing. Just my opinion.
We spent the day at the Science Museum with E's class. I took the older boys since they are homeschooling now. sigh, we will see how THAT goes! The museum is a fun, hand's on place. We had a fun time!
Off to the rest of the day!

Fridays challenge #63

This week has been crazy. We had a fun Labor day and then actually went to school the rest of the week! The storms decided to stay away for a while. I'm glad. Our challenge this time was a color challenge. The colors are Ridinghood red, Tangerine and Pacific Point. All new In Colors at Stampin' Up! for the new catalog. I love all these colors but, together....they were a challenge! I decided to play up the red and blue and use the tangerine as a highlight. I pulled out my True Friend stamp set and stamped the large medallion style stamp all over the ridinghood red using my basic black stamp pad. It looked okay....but then I remembered the Banadana technique Pat shared in a recent Technique Junkie newsletter . You all know how much I LOVE my white gel pen, so...I went to work. I won't tell you how the bandana technique works, you'll have to visit Pat for that info. She puts out a fabulous newsletter every other month, FULL of great stampin ideas. I hear she has some gre...

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
