June Project 30 #13-15

I painted the cabinets in mags' bathroom and that meant clearing out the scrapping supplies that I have hoarding  storing under there.  That led to a massive purge and some listing of things for sale.  And I have been subbing for the science teacher too.  So my projects have taken a back seat for a few days, but I think I am still on track with reaching my target 30 by the end of the month.

Project #13 a father's day card for my dad...


I used up some scraps from a long ago Studio Calico kit...even the bird and circle were already cut! all I did was diecut the letters and stamp the sentiment...easy. peasy.

Project #14 a birthday card for a friend that got stuck in the mail today...hope it gets to her by Wednesday!


and Project Life Week 20...


That's all I have time to share...gotta get my gym bag packed for an early morning workout before work!

June Project 30 #7-12

The last couple of days I have been working on finishing up my December Daily...and yes, I do realize it is June! I only had days 21-25 left to do and to decorate the binder...and since I had out my Christmas stuff, I made some cards!  So here it is...

a birthday card...


a joy card...sorry about my finger, but it just doesn't look the same if the card isn't closed!


and a joyeux noel card...


and then pages 21-23 of my DD...




hoping I can finish it up this week and move on to something more summer appropriate!

June Project 30 #5 and 6

Yesterday I worked on my Project Life week 19...I have quit posting my PL pages because it is just too much work...but since I am documenting all my crafty projects this month, I will include whatever I get done...this one is a little interesting.

I used an 8.5x11 page protector with 5 3.5x5 pockets...I didn't have a whole lot of photos for the week and I really wanted to incorporate a letter from mags' school...so here is the front of week 19

I used up a scrap strip of paper from my SC Daydream believer kit and another tiny piece was used up to make the stars...and I bought that cool BG stamp set at Tuesday Morning for $2.99!

and the back is the letter that I cut up to fit in the pockets...I backed it with gray cardstock because I didn't want the edges of the front page showing through.

and then for project #6...I cleaned off a tiny corner of my desk today and challenged myself to make something out of the things that were there...a birthday card!

I used most of the things exactly as they were found...the stitched rectangles, the doily, the lace trim and the happy birthday sentiment were all found as shown...I had to cut the corrugated paper to fit the front of the card and I punched the top layers of the butterflies and added the little pearls...crazy what you can find when you do a little cleaning!

Thanks for stopping by today!

June Project 30 #2, 3 and 4

It's been a little crazy at my house the first few days of summer...mags has been sick...really sick...I was in bed with her almost all day yesterday...it was scary.
But she is feeling better today which is a huge relief.
So I didn't get to post project 2 and 3 until today...oh, well...it's just for fun anyway.

Project 2...father's day card using my Studio Calico 35 mm kit


Project 3...hello card using the same kit


and a LO I did today about mags being sick using a little 35 mm and a little city of lights


thanks for stopping by!

happy summer! happy june!

we are out of school for the summer and in order to keep ourselves out of trouble I have set some goals to get certain things accomplished this month...one of them is to complete 30 crafty projects and I know you are good at math so that equals 1 crafty project a day for the month of june...and by crafty project I mean anything that uses up some sort of supply that I am currently in possession of...so here is the first of 30 projects...a layout using my may studio calico kit...


this is a picture of a bunch of mags' classmates meeting up for swimming...

link me up if you want to play along!

happy mother's day!

I have had a beautiful and relaxing day with the family...and my husband and daughter did the grocery shopping! I think it needs to be mother's day more often...I could get really get used to this!

I finished up my LOs for the NSD challenges at Studio Calico...and did the weekly challenge too!

for the graphic challenge I did a LO with circles..shocking, I know!

I am in love with the 7 gypsies stamp set that includes those cute arrows in circles!

I also completed the 5+ photo challenge (which was super painful) and combined it with the triangle challenge (I may have a new fav geometric shape)


and for the weekly challenge to use pp as your background...a self pic of me and mags...I am grateful that she is mine and that she made me a we...


I hope you have had a splendid day filled with love.
