Ten year anniversary book

For our Ten Year anniversary I made Todd a little trip down memory lane. I titled it "I'll follow you anywhere" I found this great arrow book from BoBunny and paper that also had the arrow theme from American Crafts and combined the two and I think it turned out pretty cute. I did a short snippet about what happened in our lives that year and tried to find a picture of us or something related to that year. I think I had all but two years covered. For those two I just used pictures of the two of us. It was a lot of fun to make I hope he likes it!

March Stamp'n Up cards- theme=birthday

Sometimes it's the paper that makes all the difference. I was with friends the other day trying to make my card come together and it just wasn't working for me. I had the general idea in my head but it wasn't coming out on the paper. I decided I needed to go look for paper that sang to me, and well I found it. Can I say I love American Crafts, paper, ribbon, embellishments, the whole lot of it.

Anyway this is what I came up with. Gotta love Cupcakes!

SPT

This months challenge has been really hard for me. (obviously since I didn't participate last week) I guess it's due that I don't get out much and when I do it's usually with my four kids, thus no hands to take pictures due to trying to control my kids. But as soon as Lelly posted that it would be about 8's bedtime came rushing to my mind. I love 8pm because my kids are all usually asleep by then and the house is quiet. ( ok so my 4mo old is still up but she's so mellow it's worth it). So I LOVE LOVE LOVE 8 o'clock!

March B-day cards

I had the hardest time coming up with an idea for this months cards. I walked up and down the paper isle at Porters trying to decide what to do. I saw some birthday candle paper that inspired me and it just kinda went from there. I have to say these are one of my favorites.

SPT

This weeks SPT is "I'm saying I love you when I. . . . "

The daily ordeal of what to make for dinner is sometimes just too much. I get so frustrated trying to think of what to make and my honey knows this. So when I make dinner consisting of more than Mac N Cheese I am saying I love you.


And when I clean the toilets I'm saying I REALLY love you!
(no one needs to see a picture of a toilet no matter how clean)

SPT

This week's SPT is "The first thing that attracted me to you was . . . . "

(both are engagement pic's)

For me let's just say I was in a bit of a funky stage in my life and Todd seemed to fit perfect. I loved that he wore jewelery like bracelets, rings, and necklaces (ok more like chains, not so girly sounding) and that he bleached his hair. I liked that punk kinda look with out going too far. A bonus for me was no earring. But mostly I loved that he could dance, and I'm not talking slow dance, the boy could move! (for some background we met at End Fest which was a concert, in the Seattle area, which featured like 15 different bands, and they were mostly punk bands at the time. Blink 182, Green Day, Zebrahead, etc. . . . in 1998)

Spring Cards

this month for our Stamp'n Up card exchange we were suppose to do a spring card. First thing I think of is flowers. Can I just say how much I am lovin my Cuttlebug. I use it all the time now. These scallop flowers were cut out with it and these great dies from Stamp'n Up. Actually most of the stuff I used this time was from Stamp'n Up, that doesn't happen too often with me, there are just too many cute things out there to put to good use.
