Down on the Farm

This is another layout that I designed for swap that Melanie is hosting. This is my day at the farm layout. I used the My world cartridge to cut the barn and tractor out, paper dolls for the fence and hay/grass. I made the door of the barn open up and inside it says" A day in the COUNTRY is worth a month in town". . I think I will add some white clouds, it looks like it is missing something. I am also attaching some ribbon and brads for each person receiving this swap. The brads have are cute little farm animals. I love to visit farms in the fall, we are looking forward to apple picking and going to the pumpkin farms this year. Hope you like my layout.

THe Best Day Ever Spongebob Layout

This is another Cricut Layout for a swap Melanie hosted. I actually had 4 different spots. Can you believe that coffee got spilled all over all 3 of the 4 sets. The Spongebob was the only one that was not effected as it was bagged already. I would have been really angry if that layout was ruined because that little sponge is time consuming to put together. I really love the 12X12 glitter paper I found on clearance at Target. It is really a nice background for this layout. It is the best day ever for me as my cricut swaps are all on the way to Melanie (coffee free)!!

Cricut Layout

I created this layout for a Cricut swap I am in that mnewby is hosting. This is my 4th of July Layout using the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge to create the stars and letters. The design and layout was a complete case, I liked it so much.

Finally

It has been awhile since I posted, I forgot how hectic August can be. Last minute vacations, children returning to school makes for a very chaotic home. It seems like I lost my crafting mojo this summer. I am attending a stamp camp in September and that usually gets me back in the swing of things. I have so many projects to catch up on and I know how quickly Christmas will be here. I will post some photos in my next post.

LOTW

Photos are of 2 LOTW (What a character and precious moments) swaps hosted by stampingforgooddeeds. My first set got lost in the mail so I had to recreate them quickly.

What's in a Name??

After much much discussion our family finally agreed on a name for our new puppy. She is a Havanese (weighs in at 3.16lbs and will get to about 12 -15 lbs) We decided to call her Harley Quinn or just plain Harley for short ! No, I am not into motorcycles nor do I read romance novels . So here is the significance behind her name...... The dog has a constant grin (it is really a line of black fur that makes her look like she is smiling) and reminds us of the Joker from Batman. Anyways when she is laying on her back her ears go up her eyes get goofy and her Joker grin is very prominent. Since she is a female we couldn't name her Joker. Did you know that the Joker has a girlfriend in the comic series/animated series? Neither did I, her name is Harley Quinn. So here is a photo of the Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn and our puppy. Hence the name for our new puppy Harley! I know I am strange but It is the creative part of me that is always present even when choosing a name for our pooch!

New addition

I have been very busy lately, not posting on blog etc, because I have been getting ready for my newest family member. Her name is........ We do not have a name for her yet. Anyone have any suggestions?
