So this post isn't anything crafty related although I have posts I could put on here in a few days hopefully. The Olympics are killing me sleep wise! Figure Skating is my thing, has been for a long time before I got married! I miss the days of taking the pictures and being published in the magazines and hanging around with the cast. I have so many memories of those days! Seems most of my skaters are now coaching! But seeing Evan win that gold medal was AMAZING!!!! I don't think we stand a chance in the womans events but... Dance was great. Its so nice to see someone other than the Russians sweeping the podium in Ice Dance and the Mens event. I think Evgeny Plushenko is really making a name for himself and not in a good way. Very inappropriate. Evan has handed this with class and dignity. A role model for children all over the place to prove what hard word, determination and positive attitude will get you. Well deserved.</div><div><br /></div><div>Okay- so I took a picture of Keegan after a family day on Sunday tubing and I just love it. My guy is adorable!!!! We had a lot of fun minus a mitten issue! (Don't ask!) I came bombing down the hill and ran into Keegan and Brett and wiped the tube out from under them. it was really funny!</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE9hh06d89__bohS_knu13MA5xYJDvTKaTH12NUTH4L6Ap2ngwdeFxvx2eGYxkyz4bAHDc9TnkrOKf-f3t90P-M1WbQjAaEZzKXLKw0DyfHoZPLHWRIFojHCtjsbAH3ST7xnQx3J4asXU/s1600-h/DSC_1089.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE9hh06d89__bohS_knu13MA5xYJDvTKaTH12NUTH4L6Ap2ngwdeFxvx2eGYxkyz4bAHDc9TnkrOKf-f3t90P-M1WbQjAaEZzKXLKw0DyfHoZPLHWRIFojHCtjsbAH3ST7xnQx3J4asXU/s320/DSC_1089.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441606250820421122" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 253px; " /></a></div>allycathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15339657280783423227noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357681143109664053.post-46326461262077198622010-02-20T09:55:00.000-08:002010-02-20T09:59:22.196-08:00Today's post is another CASE of Inking Idaho's blog- Becky Roberts but its so pretty!!!

Here are a few creations from this past weekend! These creations don't look like much but I made multiples of each. In addition, I didn't have all my supplies with me. Ideally I don't like the chocolate skinny ribbon on this card but it had to work! Also- "Tess" is totally paper pieced. I stamped "Tess" onto blush blossom, summer sun, rose red and Sweet Pea DSP and cut out each one individually! Tess is just so hip!!!!!!

I wanted the pink to go around the card but I didn't do it right... so I ended up this way and I still like it! Its very simple but so pretty!

I'm not sure anyone reads this anyway so I have nothing to worry about! I've been taking a design class for the AMAZING new software from Stampin' Up called My Digital Software. This program is awesome! I just love it and all the things it can do! Its not one of those stock programs that has just templates in it and you drag and drop pictures.... you have complete design control but you can also do the Drag/Drop type too! It custom makes calendars, DVD's, Digital Scrapbooks to slideshows, music... you name it- it does it!!!!! <div><br /></div><div>Here are a few pages I've done so far... I'm just practicing and having made a book (yet!) Prices are pretty competitive with the photo sites out there like Snapfish, Shutterfly etc except so many more options. Beautiful colors, stamps, designer paper, ribbons, buttons... </div><div><br /></div><div>The pages below I created in less than an hour and this was just figuring out how to use it, getting used to it, and not being that saavy with my MAC yet (although I love it!) I also just went with what pics I had and tried not to fuss around with pics... but to "practice!" </div><div><br /></div><div>Hope you enjoy!!!!</div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ-g_pOCL5dorNIlDcogAEV1uUaMAMNcpYQxTTBVF5ywWHT4K96ayQGIjZsFweaH8we9-a1r8jQj0okW4r1V_qJnaGD9t6czITeGEH3dwKzhlLrLrH3vAbrt8O_RNeUvCX8X3XGPKHO4g/s1600-h/Test-001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ-g_pOCL5dorNIlDcogAEV1uUaMAMNcpYQxTTBVF5ywWHT4K96ayQGIjZsFweaH8we9-a1r8jQj0okW4r1V_qJnaGD9t6czITeGEH3dwKzhlLrLrH3vAbrt8O_RNeUvCX8X3XGPKHO4g/s320/Test-001.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431632744060739058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2jvlPJf18ywn49In2xla-syio615jxLWOzs09a3yMDSsz852xo-JHGpihhBWZbW1ANG5cBF9Nx4spxeNLAsZ_GXvT_Fp6NocPsKRGsUPabEx3IDW4wBFNISaF4Cam0GuHIHnht7At7pw/s1600-h/Demi-001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2jvlPJf18ywn49In2xla-syio615jxLWOzs09a3yMDSsz852xo-JHGpihhBWZbW1ANG5cBF9Nx4spxeNLAsZ_GXvT_Fp6NocPsKRGsUPabEx3IDW4wBFNISaF4Cam0GuHIHnht7At7pw/s320/Demi-001.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431632733390334546" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNjh5aYtKiaK3JbQqtlS63Eyn68GSugCAPnJPx-bgQWCMS1IZcvJ1yiA5zGCCwgn_YCqSYvWBbjRZAWaJC_4fqKciCMy6O27beMLziiDY0L3Pp1NpZ1xPlzcbpO9hv9-J1wJhZG92gzRo/s1600-h/Keegan1-001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNjh5aYtKiaK3JbQqtlS63Eyn68GSugCAPnJPx-bgQWCMS1IZcvJ1yiA5zGCCwgn_YCqSYvWBbjRZAWaJC_4fqKciCMy6O27beMLziiDY0L3Pp1NpZ1xPlzcbpO9hv9-J1wJhZG92gzRo/s320/Keegan1-001.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431632731107526866" /></a>allycathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15339657280783423227noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357681143109664053.post-71218694977966440852009-09-28T13:04:00.000-07:002010-02-23T17:05:17.996-08:00Mindy, Mindy, Mindy- this is for you! These pictures aren't that great and this is only a portion of my "creative" space (which is very limited!) but you'll get the general idea.<br /><p>The first- these are my inkpads, pencils, buttons, stamp-a-ma-jig (very handy!) and my Stampin Up Markers. I LOVE the markers because if you don't have an ink pad of the color you need- you just use the markers!!!!! The buttons are in the little jars at the top. Under the purple stamp-a-ma-jig are my watercolor pencils. Inside the ink pad holder are random little things stashed- tiny envelopes, magnetic strips, stampin' spots etc. </p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtABsghiikz8wanHM-yrOQnCF51jcKJnpohK2QFc0IvJi1wq2ongavHwY5tbgpZq-DIru0XqJ77x6hyov3A7gFfCvFSsSYFvCzN9Wv-Ca_iOcmbZL-F8ixio1plo7LcYPSxvn-s_CxMp4/s1600-h/Patch+Field+Trip+Soccer+045.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386612737111386706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtABsghiikz8wanHM-yrOQnCF51jcKJnpohK2QFc0IvJi1wq2ongavHwY5tbgpZq-DIru0XqJ77x6hyov3A7gFfCvFSsSYFvCzN9Wv-Ca_iOcmbZL-F8ixio1plo7LcYPSxvn-s_CxMp4/s320/Patch+Field+Trip+Soccer+045.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here's my little creative corner.

The bags had individual caramel apple kits inside and the kids used the fabric sacks for the apples! It worked awesome!<br /><br />In the caramel apple kits I had a caramel apple dip, walnuts (no kids in our group had a nut allergy!), sprinkles complete with a stick!<br /><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsquIbxSVdLfPMOTyU9Rwk2bhyphenhyphenbQo6HCHJTfsX3r7gK719uURPQ_u6IhWZ5kJyVR_Hk5Jkuoc2owXzYgzkIa7P9Ij68TtmXvwmJ5R1a75HYd0S2QRiOkGSM0ERPT-ojQ4yTK_7gyBrGak/s1600-h/Keegan's+4th+Birthday+Party+009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386323268590241778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsquIbxSVdLfPMOTyU9Rwk2bhyphenhyphenbQo6HCHJTfsX3r7gK719uURPQ_u6IhWZ5kJyVR_Hk5Jkuoc2owXzYgzkIa7P9Ij68TtmXvwmJ5R1a75HYd0S2QRiOkGSM0ERPT-ojQ4yTK_7gyBrGak/s320/Keegan's+4th+Birthday+Party+009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Here's a close up of the caramel apple kits...<br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8tdStgnCSsBDSNmYMC6DHSgj1HrglcUdV09TuxO5CINQRqjrs2p1a_vmMaogsT_3b7u8FMrd2F-O2qmNyV_mCqCWBnvVY35ajCb_vsNMkxWDw8dkohecxOC66Sak8FZX7fRuzccesxhk/s1600-h/Keegan's+4th+Birthday+Party+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386322979758840466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8tdStgnCSsBDSNmYMC6DHSgj1HrglcUdV09TuxO5CINQRqjrs2p1a_vmMaogsT_3b7u8FMrd2F-O2qmNyV_mCqCWBnvVY35ajCb_vsNMkxWDw8dkohecxOC66Sak8FZX7fRuzccesxhk/s320/Keegan's+4th+Birthday+Party+003.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br />And finally- I have a brand new niece born 9/14. As a gift- I made baby <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">annoucements</span> for my sister-in-law Andrea. The inside had a pocket with a tab and a card that would slide up to put a baby photo.

Boy oh boy do I have a lot planned for Christmas! I can't really say what they'll be but my mind is a churning!!! I really need to get a jump start given our trip to Disney is planned in the month of December! When we get back I'd like to have all my daycare and Keegan's school party stuff DONE by Thanksgiving!! Think I can do it? Wish me luck!!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg304S83tZsDblaV5KupLM03DQRBYYR5H-pYv817m1vahzJ7GXjrizfZ5o3tpLsBocNmXABOCCDNdOqRolQR7L4GqNQmlBzfxCwE2ogykeaqBRYBD_wyCp_gDs0TwXpCGfix7nZGG9Gd0s/s1600-h/Ella's+Birthday+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378801179752930322" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 132px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg304S83tZsDblaV5KupLM03DQRBYYR5H-pYv817m1vahzJ7GXjrizfZ5o3tpLsBocNmXABOCCDNdOqRolQR7L4GqNQmlBzfxCwE2ogykeaqBRYBD_wyCp_gDs0TwXpCGfix7nZGG9Gd0s/s200/Ella's+Birthday+003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378801411410812914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 132px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRBEKDA9OuRHYehR5ggv7w2J-aIuzkru0mbouA_o2Uh4cybRyw6JJM6k_MSax_HThwb1eXn-X8XHKLZP9PIufQ7q6M2I0bxQ9DEvG1hg3-BAhRJGMUzRJSg41BDej86xR2wvJ3X1P_Yys/s200/Ella's+Birthday+001.JPG" border="0" /> I made the cutest Sesame Street card for a dear friends daugther Addy and Ella. I then got her a build a bear gift ard along with some PJ's for her new furry friend. Instead of just putting it in a gift bag or a random box- I made the box out of 12x12 Stampin Up Paper. It was really easy- even for someone like me who STINKS at measurements! Seriously- I can't measure. For some reason I'm missing that part of the brain about how to measure. I don't even think any kind of book "Measurements for Dummies" would work for me. Nope- it just doesn't click. So- my solution is to eyeball everthing. They some people can play music but can't read it... those like me can craft but can't measure. Ahhh...... For Ella I got her a train set and a girlie train (Rosie!) and a little tea set! I made the box for Ella out of 1 sheet of 12x12 paper. I don't have pics of that... (whoops!). </p><p>Here's a card I CASE'd from Kerry from Kerry's Paper Crafts. Maybe I can figure out how to link to other websites! I love this card! </p><p align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378882956386798114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 132px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqnJI9132lDdvH8ulhGMvkeFiTbxomSwdgimpx7yjMb5EhHAfgNXZocDZMWipM4lliop5JdBb5lwmiGJCJZc9otTIusvNA91Ip18PlVv60KK6eQyKVe08a58Y6vC1_Sp5sPCIQLDoWOM/s200/Sesame+Street+Card+003.JPG" border="0" /></p><p><br />Then I made some cute little boxes for my sister-in-law who is about to have my brand new neice! As a thank you to the hospital staff I made these little boxes for her to give to all the nurses as a thank you. SHe appeared to like them. Inside were little Hershey Nuggets wrapped in Designer Series Paper. Although retired- very pretty. I used an image of a baby I had kicking around.<br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378883316125502338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ0gatqX9s5A9QXy-InY1Z2Q912UNAv9CgA4Y3nK-9AjEgeSPuSItPxepJoaS0lxaghcD9ZORtsB8JBo0joIdTx4FfbAymJ9vfnlJY1-QhRTtE7hIRc6di134ohiArTXP2fQMZXZFQ0U0/s200/annboxes" border="0" /><br /><p><br />Check these out... how cute are these to bring to a party? They are brownie pops! You can merge paper craftng with baking! These are just a brownie mix in a Wilton Brownie pop mold. Then I made some tags using the 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 circle punch and the scallop circle punch from Stampin Up (my total favorite punches of any!) I stamped the imagine, punched a hole and tied it on with some ribbon and PRESTO!!! So easy and so cute!! I'm going to make these for Keegan's birthday party and school party. </p><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378803118946378850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJDGJBeUN9Jw-Sj64aEEMd4BU_Yknl9wUi1iYDN4Ato58TuWlONLYbc3NYGLn8N5QJExjPip9eI_6CLxqHgsO1tTcd0QE8bAiimCL-b3C0wky1YecUiIfoI0k7x5a5FV1UbLZFVmriMRQ/s200/browniepops.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />I'll upload the pics of the darling matchboxes I made for Ann later and the other Sesame Street card. </p><p>Here are little barrettes I made for my adorable niece Delanie!

Although I hate the long hours, and I think he does too, I am so thankful for a paycheck! Its crazy how your life can turn upside down when your spouse comes home and says "I was laid off".. Yikes! </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Keegan and I were playing tonight and he jumped on me and flung his head back and hit me on the nose and lip! So I am sporting a lovely fat lip this evening. I look like lipo gone bad in Hollywood. And oh my- did it bleed! Poor Keegan was scared. I seriousy thought he knocked my teeth out. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9eeV2d4ASj4D207yLdoP5_bDe1ONxGXji9mXVioQubPhIhkrveqZHLvztUSs5d-MRq3yEfIjUFWlL2GAqrWKa5Onz85ANHXatL1fuYXqUFFXE7oF-37KsxOuw-aa_kJxLkxN5vDmK95g/s1600-h/July+14th+08+015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223042051501219938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9eeV2d4ASj4D207yLdoP5_bDe1ONxGXji9mXVioQubPhIhkrveqZHLvztUSs5d-MRq3yEfIjUFWlL2GAqrWKa5Onz85ANHXatL1fuYXqUFFXE7oF-37KsxOuw-aa_kJxLkxN5vDmK95g/s320/July+14th+08+015.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">So the picture reminds me of George on Seinfeld. I caught Keegan making a ton of noise in our room and he was totally jumping on our bed! Doesn't that photo remind you of that George painting in his undies??? </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">He had so much fun playing on our bed- he had that deep giggle that went on for about a 1/2 hour... not to mention tired him out a little bit! </span>allycathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15339657280783423227noreply@blogger.com1
