Challenge @ Buttons & Bows.....

I really like doing challenges, it forces me to get some scrapbooking and or card making done!!  For this challenge I used a Tiddly Inks digital stamp, Trick or Treat Echo Park paper, black card stock and a few other things I had laying around. 

 Boy, oh, boy ... did I make that mess?  Hey, I was having fun, so I am not too concerned with the destruction left in my wake! 

 Here is my adorable card!!  Now if I only knew who to send it too!  I guess I might have to put it away to send out next year! 

 Another angle.....

Finished products always make me happy!  Now what next?.....

Knitting....

I have wanted to know how to knit forever.  I have tried once or twice but could never quite get it.  I can crochet but knitting is a whole different story.  The church I go to is having what is called, Celebrate U.  They have all sorts of different classes.  One happened to be knitting.  I had to try again!  I have been practicing and practicing. 

I am so proud of myself!!  :)

Tiddly Inks: Blog Candy!

I have been very intrigued by digital scrapbooking and digi stamps.  It wasn't until recently that I decided to try out digi stamps.  My first purchase was at Tiddly Inks!  I love the designs and was very happy with the purchase.  I am sure my digi stamp collection will be growing more than my actual stamp collection!  Once I start digital scrapbooking, I swear, the flood gates will open and I will lean towards everything digital.  I would love not having to have all my supplies taking up my desk and walkin closet!! LOL It would be nice just to have it all stored in files on my computer!  

On to the candy....I saw that Tiddly Inks is having this huge give away, and not to be stingy or anything but I WANT, I WANT, I WANT......so now I am sharing it with you.  :)  Just remember to leave the winning to me! LOL

In an effort to be on the DT of Samantha Walker.....

Here are some awesome things I have created in the past year.....

 This is my son, Teddy.  I love this photo of him and created this layout for a Dixie Pieces Challenge over the summer.

 I got this cabinet to the right at goodwill.  I removed the front and painted the front.  I created a magnetic bulletin board! 

 This is the front of the Valentine card that I created 

 This isn't a great pic of this layout....This is my kids on the beach.

 Every year, my daughter and I take part in the March of Dimes Tea, hosted by her Grandmother.  This was a great memory.  We don't get to enjoy this together anymore! :(  Audrey can still go but I am not welcome to join her, even though it used to be one of our traditions.

 Here is Tristan all covered in swamp....He was about 6 or 7 here and was frog hunting in a marshy area near our home.

 I created this skirt for myself to wear at Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend.  My David and I attended the Rockabilly Weekend in April of this year.  It was a whole lotta fun!  Rockabilly music, Awesome vendors and a Hot Rot Show!!  I wish we could go every year! 

 Here is a Valentine dress that I made for Madison.  It was a lot of fun to make, I really enjoy the old fashion feel and wanted to make an apron to go with it!  Just haven't had a chance yet!

 Here is a dress that I created again for the Rockabilly weekend.  I got so many complements on this dress....It has a lace inlay in the back that is done in a v shape......The skirt is big and puffy too!  I would wear this dress everyday if I could get away with it.

 Same dress......

I also made this purse for the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend.  I couldn't find the style I was looking for for the Rockabilly Weekend so I just made it all.....I made 2 dresses, the purse, a bandanna and some other stuff too!  I wish I had a picture of my cherry halter dress...
