Have you heard of it?  I think I'm addicted.  A few of my pins...

There are SO many inspiring photos of crafts, home decor, quotes, books, movies, etc.  Here is a link to my boards.  Have fun!

Water for Elephants

I absolutely LOVED this book.  I can't wait to see the movie.  This is a MUST READ!

Did you watch the wedding?

I thought the bride was stunning.

Presenting the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge...

I've been reading...A LOT. 

I loved Shelter Me by Juliette Fay.  It makes you laugh, cry, think and grateful for your life.  I am on a wait list at the library for her latest book Deep Down True.

What good books have you been reading?

I've recently read a couple of really quick reads.  It finished Lift by Kelly Corrigan in one day.  This is a great read for Moms. 

 

I blew through The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom in an afternoon.  It is a page-turner.  You have to keep reading to find out what happens next.  It is a wonderful book about how our lives are connected to so many others. 

Happy 40

My girlfriend turned 40 this past weekend and I wanted to share the card I made for her. 

I apologize for the messy desk you can see in the background!

I was inspired by a card Lisa Johnson did a while back, you can see it here.  I loved how she embossed the card stock and then went over it with white ink.  I used a paper towel dabbed in SU whisper white (craft) to brush over my embossed numbers.  I used the Cricut Printing Press cartridge to cut out the number 40.    

Stamps: PTI birthday bash sentiments

Cardstock: PTI

Pattern Paper: PTI
Ink: Memento black, SU whisper white

Say hello to my little friends

I made these Valentines for my boys to take to school today.  I was inspired by these Valentine kits at Paper Source. 

I have been a bad blogger - sorry!  I made these a couple of weeks ago and forgot all the Cricut cartridges I used to make them.  I know I used paper doll dress up for the hats and one of the mustaches. 

Hope you have a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

FOCUS friday

I am participating in Ali Edwards One Little Word class over at Big Picture.  My word for the year is FOCUS.  I talked about it in this post.  I thought I would share a pic of the project.

I am using a Lime 8.5x11 We R Memory Keepers album for the project.   I love the color of this album.  I found some My Minds Eye pattern paper at my local scrapbook store for .20 a piece!  I think it goes with the album perfectly.  Of course I had to add a couple of butterflies (compliments of a Martha Stewart punch).  

Reading and getting healthy are on my list of things to focus on this year.  I admit the getting healthy thing is a struggle.  I am reading a wonderful book right now called Made To Crave by Lysa TerKeurst (so I am reading about getting healthy!)  I am hoping this will help me discover some things about my over eating.  I really like it so far.  I will try to remember to write a review when I am done. 
 

Hope you have a GREAT weekend!
