Stamping Class

So I went to my first Stamping Class EVER!!! It was great!! I got so many ideas, and got to try a bunch of new things!! The one and ONLY problem I had with the class is that now I want to buy a whole bunch of new things hahahah. However now I feel like I want to go shopping for supplies and then just spend the rest of the day crafting!!! It got my creative juices flowing!!!

We stamped with the SOCK MONKEY stamp set, and we got to dress him up for Easter!!! How Cute!!! Considering I love everything and anything Monkey related, this was the class for me!!!

We got to paint the stamps with marker ink and then coloured

in the monkey with chalk!! I tried chalk before, but

could not seem to get it to work, but this chalk set was

amazing!!! So Im going to try mine again, however I still want the "Stampin Up" chalk set as well as their stamp markers!!!!

Making this window and then trying to get it so that just the ears showed was a little tricky, but the result was great!!!

Isnt the Easter Monkey just SOOO CUTE!! LOL Apparently you can buy stamps to go along with it so that you can dress him up for ever occasion!!! Ugh sooo want it!!!!

We also made this cute little card, kinda like the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil concept!!!

I had such a great time. I really want to go to another class. Hopefully Ill be able to go to a few this summer!!!!

What I will Miss

With some of my friends already graduated, this year has made me realize how much I really miss them, and what things I miss most. This page I did about my friend Kim. She is basically like a sister to me and we lived together in rez and basically have been inseparable since! The most random things always happened to us, which made everyday a new adventure with us. With this page, I used plain chip-board and then embossed them using embossing powder to the colors I wanted. I also inked the edged of the arrow and the main yellow page to add depth and give it a little more texture so it didn't look so plain! Along the right side I wrote down a few things that are signature to us and that I will miss. I put the arrow from MISS to YOU to put emphases on the fact that most of all Ill miss you!

Family Card

This is called a Waterfall card! I made this card for my sister and Brother-In-Law, as they are parents to be!! When you pull the tab at the bottem the squares flip up and the squares underneath show. As the tab comes down there is room to stamp a message. This card isnt as hard to make as it looks I swear!! I cant wait until the baby is born, then I will be able to make him/her cards for everything!!! Hmm what will my next card be??

Sisters

Because I do not live with my sisters it's hard for me to show them the new pages I do or that I am even thinking about them. These are only a select few pictures of us over the years. I am sure

there will be alot more pages of sisterly love to come!!

Strawberry Picking

I love love LOVE Strawberry Picking!!! Most of all I love to eat them!!!! Last summer me and Jordan went, and after looking at the pictures, I knew I had to do a page about this. I wanted to make the page as bright as possible, showing off the fun we had. We mostly ate more than we took home haha. I used alot of reds on this page, and ofcourse a poke-a-dot background!!! I also used pictures I had taken of the strawberries and cut them into the letters to make the title of the page, which I LOVE. Yes I love alot about this page.

Bloggin...

So I have a question.. How do people make their blogs soo cool? I mean like I go on other people's blogs and they have this huge title for their page with a picture and whatever else.. Mine is soo empty.. How do I add this cool title to the top of my page. And where is everyone getting all these cool gadgets from?? My blog just looks so boring... I need to fancy it up.. get it more active.. make people actually want to come to my blog.... Any blogging help would be great!!!!

Im Going To Be An Auntie!!!

She is only about hmmm 11 or 12 weeks along now!!! So we still have ways to go. She is due September 18th!!!!! I cant want to spoil this kid.. We dont know the sex of the baby because they dont want to find out!!!! ARGGGGG Thats going to drive me nuts!!!!! hahaha Im ready to scrap all about that baby once it gets here!!!
