So just before supper tonight, I told my DH that the neighbours were bringing their kids to go see Wall-E at the theatres.
He said, “why don’t I go & pick tickets up now for the movie at 7:30 tonight?” He came back with 5 tickets …’ I thought just you & Em & Malcolm? [...]

I must admit, I don’t get the whole owl craze, I mean really it’s everywhere, and everywhere and everywhere I’ve been looking lately. But they are cute and when I saw this owl stamp I thought I could do some different things with it.
Here’s my new stamp I picked up at Heather’s Stamping Haven [...]

As a S.A.H.M. who seems to be at home less & less & more & more in the mini van zipping here & there or biking to the park or just out with the kids, you learn things.

Here was the $SPP (dollar Store Patterned Paper LOL) that I picked up. It was such I bargoon, I wonder, it’s probably toxic to children & will crumble well within my life time, but I thought it was pretty and we don’t have a scrapbook store with lots of paper in the West end of [...]

This week Kristina Werner picked an image from Design Sponge. Nice Stuff. Really Nice Stuff.
The S.U. colours Kristina chose were Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, & Whisper White.
What stood out to me in the Inspiration was the “grid”, I’m not sure what to call it, “burlap?” style pretty white [...]

I saw Corinne’s tutorial on SplitCoastStampers. It looked like fun, so here’s my go at it.
I followed her very clear & wonderful tutorial pretty much to the ‘T’; however 1) I messed up & have the PP on the outside. BTW it’s called ’super sticky tape’ for a reason. So I [...]
Merci, Monsieur!

The card was made with glossy White C/Stock, using the shaving cream technique (Glorious Green ink & Brocade Blue) The holes in the metal tags were covered up with Rhinestones attached by Glue Dots. I also used the cuttlebug letters with my sizzix & some dimensionals.
Here’s a close-up of the shaving cream [...]
The Tooth Fairy.

I made this little ‘Tooth Fairy’ pillow years ago for Emma. It was in demand last night when Malcolm lost his 7th baby tooth.
It was easy enough to make out of Polar fleece material. Just a little “tooth shaped pillow” sewn onto a square pillow. (Open at top) Because of the super puffiness, the [...]
