Folders and Notebooks for School

My goal all week has been to get my daugher's folders and notebooks posted we made over the weekend.  It seems like everytime I have sat down at the computer this and got ready to start the kids had to have me at that moment.  So they are gone to bed now and I'm enjoy the peacefully house now that it is finally cooling down in the house.  It was in the 90's today so our house was very hot in my craft room tonight.   

I let Faith pick out the paper and what she wanted on her notebooks and Mommy went to work then. She loves them and said she will have the coolest notebooks in 4th Grade thanks to her Crafty Mommy :)

 Then she decide we need to decorate her folders with some vinyl.

Canvas for my Living Room

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to post pictures of the four canvas I recently painted and alter for my living room wall.  It took me forever to decide on what pictures I was going to use on them.  Months ago my friend bought me the big canvas and then I decide it would be cool to do one for each of  the kids.  Well then I found the one that I thought would look good below the main canvas.  So I thought that would be prefect for a canvas of my husband and me together.  Then I had to decide on the colors which I knew one was going to be purple for sure.  Purple is my favorite color!!!  Then we decide to go with brown for the others cause it matched the walls right now.  Then later I'm going to paint the walls a different color but it will still match the color I have picked out for the walls. 

I'm so happy with my wall now!  Well even happy when the walls get painted!

I almost forgot to tell you about the family chipboard cut out I painted.  The original plan was to cut out Family in vinyl till my friend was at Hobby Lobby and found the chipboard.  I painted it and add some green polka dots on it and some pretty purple ribbon!

Pencil Boxes

Last week I had the chance to go to  Wal-Mart by myself while the kids were at camp so I  got their school supplies.  Today we checked to make sure they have everything on their list and they put them in their new backpacks.  They don't go back to school till after Labor Day but I wanted to have it all together cause our last 3 weekends before school starts my daughter has tournments. 

We decide to decorate their pencils boxes with vinyl since I had it out working on a big order I had for my Etsy shop today.  They both help pick out what they wanted to go on their box.

Next we are going to decorate my daughter's notebooks and folders!

Soccer Bag Tags

The kids are so excited they got a backpack to put all their soccer gear in this weekend.  I wanted them to put their number on them so I saw something similar to these awhile ago on Pinetrest.  So I decide to try it out last night.  They loved them this morning! 

I took old gift cards we had laying around the house and covered them with black card stock and mod pauge.  Then I cut out their number, soccer ball, white piece of cardstock  and mod pauge them on to the tag.   After the mod pauge dried I wrote their name and phone number on the back side of the tag.  Then I punched a hole and attached some fun cord we had on them.

Soccer Layout

I made this layout for the Pink By Design  Inspiration is Everywhere Challenge for the 2 year Celebration!  The reason I went for this layout as Inspiration is cause I look around my house and it is a wreck because all week we have been at either soccer camp or soccer pratice and haven't had any time to do picking up.  These are pictures I took of my kids last fall but I love these pictures of them.  I used the Creative Memories This & That Cartridge for the cuts on this layout.

HIMCR Challenge #46 Technique week

Hello Everyone!

This has been a very busy week at my house.  My daughter turned 9 on Monday and my son

turned 7 yesterday.  Along with their birthdays I have been trying to get the house ready for my daughter's party on Sunday.   She wanted a pirate them party.  I will post pictures of the party and her decorations later in the week so be sure to check back to see them. 

This week challenge at HIMCR is Technique week "Do Over!" Take an older card and redo it.  Change the colors, add embelishments, make it more simple, whatever.  Have Fun!!

I made my card for Valentine's Day but it was way to simple for me.  It need something else so I  chaged it this week.

Before

After

After card I made it into a 4x4 card and add a piece of pink paper and embossed it and

 add some ink to the pink paper. 

I'm much happier with it now.

The Ladybug and Love is cut from the Creative Memories This and That Cartridge.

Mother's Day Canvas

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!  My kids and husband made me breakfast, we took some new pictures, did some shopping, and out to eat dinner.  We also planted a couple of flowers they bought me. 

I made this canvas for the kids to give their Oma for Mother's Day!  Our family all lives in IL so over the last 9 years she has become like a Mom to me and a grandma to my kids.  I don't know what I would do without her and the kids love her so much!

These are the new pictures I took of my babies yesterday.  I can't believe my baby girl will be 9 tomorrow and Friday my Little Man will be 7.

HIMCR #39 Hideous Paper Challenge

Hello Eveyrone and Happy Saturday!!

The challenge this week, the 4th Saturday of the month, is Mix it Up SATURDAY! And this week's it is Hideous Paper challeng.  We all have those papers that are well, hideous! So let's take them and turn them into something beautiful or at least get a good laugh trying!

It was hard to decide on paper to use cause I love all my paper but this one was not really one that I do love.

So I thought I would use it to make a Thank you card!

I'm not sure what the name of the paper is but I remember getting a about 4 or 5 years ago in a a big pack from Costco. 

Blue paper is Light blue Coredinations

THANKS is cut at 1" from Creative Memories cartridge This & That

Dutch Blue ink around the edges of the card
