Love and Laugh because Life Happens

Another from my craft weekend.

I love how this one turned out! Its not my usual style to do so much doodling or freehand but i really cut loose with this and i think its turned out okay.

I used a scalloped ruler and punched the holes and handcut the pink scallops for the backround. Added the "life happens" paper and cut a heart from my crciut. Added the foam letters and the "&" sticker. I had a giant black brad i wanted to use so i used it as the middle of the flower. And i finished the outside with a flourish rub on.

I love this one!!

What do you think?

Have a Great Day!

Okay- another card I made on my fancy craft weekend.

This one i used the cricut doodlecharm cartridge and cut a 'sun' shape. Added some hand doodling around the edges, tied some ribbon and stuck some buttons. Punched some flowers and doodled on and around them and then added rub ons for the wording.

It was actually really easy and I LOVE the way it turned out!

Ooooh! Presents!

Hello hello,

Dan and Hannah came home today, I was soo excited to see my hubby and bubby :) All mothers would appreciate this- there are times when you wish for the pre-children silence but as so as it is silent something is missing. Thats how I've felt this weekend, Ive enjoyed my time alone but I have been lonely! So they are back- Hannah looks like she has grown a 5 cm and has about 20 new words (all in 3 days!) I've missed her sooo much I cant put it into words. And my Dear Dan, always looking out for my addiction to card making..hehehe...Look what he bought me! TWO PAPER RACKS!! I have (until now) kept my paper just in a pile on a shelf, the edges were starting to curl and ruin. But now I have these beautiful rack to put my paper in! THANK YOU HONEY!!

...still waiting to take pics of the cards I made over the weekend, spent all my time tonight putting the paper in racks...

Oh- and a quick shout out to the lovely ladies Enfys and Michelle for your words or encouragement :) Thank you ladies, you (and of course the paper racks!) made my day :)

Long Time no blog!

Hello all,

So you'll be proud of me (i certainly am!). I entered in a competition over at http://bcr8iv.blogspot.com/ !! I made my 'truck load of love' card for my husband for valentines day..(you can see the pick on my first post) I made it for another competition but i never actually got the guts to submit it! So when i came across the competition over at Bcr8iv I took the plunge! I have been card making for like 10 years now and I have come to a point in my life where I want to take it further. So I am going to start entering in more and more competitions, and I'm even looking into becoming a TLC Consultant and starting up classes!! Im nervous as hell but I am also sooo excited. I will keep you all updated on my progress...fingers crossed for me!
*sigh* okay...im off to ACTUALLY make some cards instead of talking about it! hehehe..
Have a Great Day!!
Jenn

more and more and more cards!

More ZEN time!
