I have been chatting and emailing Rene from Australia for a few years now.  We have so many things in common.  We were glad to meet up face to face when her family came for a visit. The boys hit it off and we enjoyed our time together. We took our aussie friends to the aussie themed restaurant, outback steakhouse. I love the maps and the map banner in this kit from Michelle Underwood. and my new go to stitches from Two Peas, courtesy of Tia Bennett. ;)

I created this layout of Jordan and his agent pig using Gen Bursett’s Sweet Child of Mine collection and her Blueprint #1.  Journaling: We have been playing angry birds on the iTouch for a while now.  While out shopping the other day we found these angry birds and a pig.  When we were about to build a fort and throw the birds, you said NO! You told me that this pig was a good pig and an agent for the birds.

I have a tutorial: how to use words strips to make hybrid cards. There are several more cards in the tutorial, check it out :)

Hello friends! Welcome to Two Peas Tuesday, the Thursday afternoon version. ;)

I created a few hybrid cards this week with Laina Lamb’s die cutter shapes and I am positively smitten with the combination of her shapes and my October Afternoon paper pads. Their papers are so pretty and just right thickness for my silhouette.

love you*

Two Peas Tuesday v.12.28

paper whites

journaling: I was so excited to find these paper white narcissus bulbs at Bed, Bath and Beyond this year. when we lived in Birmingham, AL I found out that you could force these bulbs inside with small jars and rocks.  I picked up 12 bulbs and some flat glass marbles to use along with a porcelain container i already had on hand.  We planted these bulbs during the week of thanksgiving and the first flowers popped up the day after Christmas.  We have enjoyed watching the bulbs grow up so quickly and can’t wait to watch the rest bloom.

making a list

I was lucky to get a chance to be a guest blogger over at the Two Peas in a Bucket Digi Blog this season.  You can see it here: 12 days of christmas guest blog.  The journaling on my layout is straight from the blog post:  I love Christmas, I love the music, the baking and the happy smiles and greetings.  I have a mental checklist for things I like to get done during the holiday season.  Every year I usually get the Christmas Tree up before Thanksgiving and start listening to Christmas even before Halloween.  I know, I know– I have issues. I also like to do my shopping early and online.  Since we home-school, our boys are always with me and it’s just easier to keep it a secret. And the fact I don’t have to fight for parking or stand in lines?! Well hey, that’s just another added bonus.  I create our Christmas card and send out quite a bit every year.  I also make photo calendars for a few friends.

I can remember my mom baking chocolate chip cookies to the tunes of the Carpenters Christmas album (vinyl!) and it makes me smile.  I do the same thing except my Carpenters are crooning from my iTunes and my cookies are sugar cookies and gingerbread.  I have also just started making Gingerbread houses in the past few years.  We go to Christmas Eve candle light service and get to open one present before bed.

my very first online scrappy community was at creatingkeepsakes.com .  It was there that I met and made friends with some of the friendliest scrappers around so when Club CK opened up shop it was a given that I’d set up an account there as well.  I am always honored when one of my projects is featured.  Last week I was thrilled to see my stargazer layout featured at Club CK.  :)

Scientist Jordan or Look Mom Chronicles, vol 2

I loved all the little bits and papers in the sincerely kit. I had a hard time deciding what to use, so full! So Jordan came to me and said, Mom, I want to wear my scientist shirt… and then we popped the lenses out of the 3d glasses and voila, my little scientist. He wore this all day long even out of the house. completely serious. love that kid!

Lava

journaling:  it was a pretty hot day out on the lava field and truthfully, if i had known it was a hike across the lava field and not a paved walkway, I probably would not have brought the boys on this hike.  However, it was beautiful and I am glad we did it.  I also loved seeing my happy green cons on the lava.  aug 2010

I was lucky enough to be one of the CT members to work with the featured kit this week and my cards were on the Digital Designer’s blog for Erica’s Kit Smitten post.

You Suck

I could not resist the elements in Edeline’s Scary Boo kit and came up with a few hybrid Halloween cards. This one is my very favorite. Nothing like a little tongue in cheek passive aggressive vampire humor to make me smile ;)

like a kid in a candy store

journaling: We stopped in old Hilo Town to check out the cool stores on the waterfront.  We were immediately drawn to the red doors of the Sugar Coast Candy Store.  Inside, the burlap covered trashcans and black and white checkered floors welcomed us.  The old fashioned specialty candies were hard to resist and we left with smiles on our faces and sugar in our bags.

When I first did this layout, I made a typo and had to go back to my layered file and correct the mistake.  Then I started thinking, if I turned the template on it’s side, I could show more of this awesome shot… so I did.  Here is version 2.  which do you like better?

Basic Principle Vol. 4 by Jo Hanna, Reading Adventures by Kerry Stewart

Thanks for stopping by!  I picked up quite a few new kits to work with this week, so I’ll have lots to share!  Do you remember that fly layout I did with Laina’s kite and Dear Lizzy Papers and Divine twine?  It’s here on Scrapstreet Magazine.com...

Lace Circle Cards

• I cut Laina Lamb’s Lace Circle shapes out of white flocked vinyl on my silhouette.
• weeded the vinyl (picked out the unwanted pieces)
• sprayed each shape with Glimmer Mist (Granite and Key Lime Pie)
• embossed one card back with a Paper Trey Ink Woodgrain plate
• adhered the vinyl shapes to the card backs.
• added American Crafts (Dear Lizzy) Stickers, a crocheted flower, buttons with divine twine and a Stampin’ Up! Corduroy brad with American Crafts Dimensional Adhesive.
• rounded corners.

hybrid bookmarks

• I printed Kathy Martin’s Pencil it in items on matte photo paper
• cut out the pencil with a scissors, cut the lines with a paper trimmer and punched the half circles with my cropadile
• die cut the book worm with a Spellbinders circle die and a pinked circle out of cardstock.
• embossed both bookmarks with an Impression plate from Paper Trey Ink.
• added divine twine around the half circles and tied a knot.
• adhered the printed items to the book marks
• punched holes in the top of each book mark and added divine twine.

you are so cool

a few weeks ago I downloaded this ice cream kit and made some cards.  I also printed some plain scoops to color with my copic markers.  These colorful scoops have been sitting on my paper cutter for a few weeks waiting to be put together.  I am so in love with ROYGBIV, are you?

• Each scoop is printed in black on Neenah Solar white cardstock
• colored with copic markers
• hand cut and adhered with pop dots
• Sentiment is in thickers.

I can’t wait to see what new pea products I’ll be playing with this week!  There are new designers at Two Peas Digital!  ALSO there is a call for the Two Peas in a bucket Digital Creative Team!  I hope you’ll apply!
