Birthday Cupcake Card Set

A few months ago a friend and I made a swap for our home business products.  I got a really great little bottle of Frankincense and I made her a big stack of birthday cards. Take a peek!

Inks: Hollyhock, Crystal Blue, Juniper, Spring Iris (retired), Crème Brulee, Chocolate, Cashmere

Papers: Hollyhock, Crystal Blue, Juniper, Spring Iris (retired), Crème Brulee, Chocolate, Cashmere, White Daisy, Black cardstock plus B&T papers from Bella, Notebook, Perfect Day, and Dreamin' Reflections Kits (all retired)

Tools: Artiste Cricut cartridge, paper crimper, Liquid Glass

I wanted her to be able to use them for any age, boy or girl.  And who doesn't like cake on their birthdays?

Now if you'll excuse me, our school break has started and the boys will be home for 3 weeks!  That means we'll be hitting the pool as much as possible...to keep them from the video games as much as possible!

Fathers and Sons Campout

Happy Saturday everyone!  This is the first day in quite a while that I don't have some kind of activity scheduled...and it feels great to sit and think for a change.
 

I have been able to get some more studio scrapping done in the meantime though.  I love that I can leave it and come back when I have some time...and it's all ready for me to pick up where I left off! 

This summer I took lots of photos...lots.  (With a trip to Disneyworld that's to be expected, right?)  But I wasn't the only one in the family to do so.  I think I've pretty much got my boys trained to take a camera where ever they go...and get lots of photos, too!  Back in May, our church had a Father/Son campout.  The boys look forward to it every year...as do I!  I'm sad that I miss out on watching everyone have fun, but I really, really like having the house to myself for a night!  I took the photos Engineer shot and put together a nice layout for the boys to remember.

Studio J: Victory Reflections Kit

I love that every shot had the fire in it!  I don't think that was intentional on his part, but Engineer did me proud.
 

Have you tried Studio J yet?  Head over to my website and see how easy it is to get started!

Artbooking with an Attitude

Time for another blog hop from the Stampers with an Attitude team! 

You may have just come from Melinda's Blog and seen her fantastic Artbooking project.  If not, then welcome to the hop and be sure to click the next blogger on the list after you take a moment and see my fun Halloween Mini-Album!

We made these at the Holiday Stamp Camp this year.  I used the Laughing Lola papers and threw in some Lagoon cardstock to brighten it up a bit.  Take a peek!

It's still some time before Halloween I know, but my 3 guys are always up for some scary photo shoots. 

And this new cartridge makes creating mini-albums so quick and easy!

Now be sure to head over to Vickie's Blog and see what she's created with the Artbooking cartridge!

You Mean It Rains In The Desert?

June/July is monsoon season here in Tucson.  And that means rain.  I'm not talking about a sprinkle here and there either.
 

I was just about to leave the house to get the boys from piano lessons when a microburst hit our neighborhood.  65mph winds and sideways rain.  At one point I couldn't even see the houses across the street.



Just thought I'd share a bit of Tucson with you all!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

 

It's been quiet around here today with the boys at school!  So did I scrap anything, make any cards, or work in my office?

No.  I went to the store...by myself...and took as long as I wanted!
