Ice cream anyone?


Okay, you have heard me say it before. I love brown and pink together, but the combo makes me think of neopolitan ice cream! Something that is totally not allowed on my current diet. Darn! Oh well, at least I can still get some satisfaction from some crafty creating.
My daughter and I stole away and hid in my room Sunday after church to do a bit of scrapping. I love that she enjoys crafts like I do! We had a great time and got some good stuff done.
I decided to pull out this awesome new stamp I bought from the new Stampin' Up! catalog this summer. I have been wanting a big medallion stamp like this! How did they know?! 
I stamped the medallion in chocolate chip on layers of regal rose and close to cocoa. The little bird is stamped with close to cocoa and sponged with chocolate on the edges and regal rose chalk on the wing. I added a bit of detail with my chocolate marker too. It was a pretty easy card to pull together...and I didn't even drool on it while I thought about ice cream!

Polka quilt

I just love projects that can be made with my leftover scraps! This is a great example of just that kind of project. The colors are fun and sunny. Notice how the ribbon goes under the rectangle with the button to really make it pop!

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...

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...
