Tagged

I've been tagged by a couple of fellow bloggers. I usually don't join in, but I'll go ahead and answer these questions- they sound like fun.

Barb has tagged me! The "rules" of the game: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Ten years ago: 1998- I had just graduated from high school and was touring with a music group called 'Highest Praise' (based from Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO). Later that summer I started my first job at a Sirloin Stockade, in Aug. I started junior college as a music major and in Oct. met my future husband. Currently- I've been married for almost 9 years and I'm not a music teacher...I teach kindergarten. :)


Five things in todays 'to do list':
1. mail off my TAC contest entries for July
2. learn the music for Vacation Bible School
(I'm helping lead the music again this year...see this post)
3. do some cleaning
4. get creative at my craft desk
5. relax a bit...that's a hard one for me


Snacks I enjoy:Peanut Butter M & M's

Things I would do if I was a millionaire:
I'd get my mother the greatest medical care money can buy, I'd pay off mortgages and bills of family members, I'd build a big house that had a huge craft studio that my DH and I could share, I'd help others that were in need...the list goes on and on....


Places I have lived: all in Kansas...Cottonwood Falls, Delphos, Altamont, Oswego, and Parsons.

I will now tag: I'm not going to tag this time, maybe next time.

Another Treasury!

I just wanted to share that my Girly Mini Album was featured in a treasury over at Etsy by a fellow Etsy seller named Prisma. (Be sure to check out her cute shop!) Follow this link to check out the treasury!!

Girly Mini Album

I spent a little time today making things to sell in my Etsy shop. This is one of the items- a 'girly' mini album. I shared a baby boy album in this post- it was a gift for my sister-in-law. I bought some new paper from TAC called Kaleidoscope Girlz and thought this would be the perfect project to try it out.

I used three 4x4 coasters and my Bind It All for this project. All the stamps that were used are retired TAC stamps. I've had a bunch of chipboard letters laying around forever and was so excited to get to finally use them.

Wedding Day

Today is a very special day- my younger brother Scott is getting married! He is marrying a very sweet girl named Melissa. I created a mini album for them and then realized that I left it at home! (We're 6 hours from home, so there's no going back for it)

I learned how to make this mini album at Jen Bluestein's Arkansas Angel Gathering a few months back. At the gathering, we used TAC's Sands of Time patterned paper, but for this album I used TAC's Amberley Grace pp. I think it's very elegant and perfect for a wedding gift.

There are three pictures in the album and Scott and Melissa can add more later. There are also places for them to do a little journaling.

I tried to add a slideshow, but ran in to a few problems. So here are some pictures of the album. Thanks for looking!

Toodle Loo

My sister-in-law is having a baby shower tomorrow and this is the mini album and card that I'll be giving her. (Nikki, if you're reading this, just act surprised tomorrow!) I used TAC's Toodle Loo cardstock - I just love the colors!
The stamp on the left is a retired TAC set called 'Birth Announcement'. Toodle Loo comes with a sheet of cardstock tags and I placed one on this page for the baby's name. A picture can be placed on the right side.
I placed journaling lines on the right side and again, the left side can be used for a picture.
This is just a quick little card that I made to coordinate with the mini album. That's all for now- thanks for looking!!

I Love Teal!

I just love this color....if you couldn't tell! :) I've been taking part in a few challenges over at PW. This first card was a sketch challenge. The diamond pattern is a stamp from a set called 'My Life'. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to get everything lined up just right. If you don't own a stamp-a-ma-jig then you're really missing out. I'm such a perfectionist and I would have stamped the card 20 million times until I got it perfectly straight, but with the stamp-a-ma-jig, I was able to get it right the first time. Now I can really crank out cards!
This was also a sketch challenge. I had scraps left over from the first card and decided to sitck with the same colors. I used Water Lily Green Palette ink on both cards. A beautiful color, in my very humble opinion. :) Oh, something kinda fun, look closely under the words 'with love' and you'll see a faintly stamped image. I stamped on to white cardstock twice (so that I could get a lighter image) and then I used a circle punch to punch the center of the stamped image (the image that I used for the background of the card) and the result was a flower image. Kinda cool, huh?

Supplies for both cards-
My Life
Floral Dingbats
Tag Tidbits
Water Lily Green Palette Ink
white cardstock
Robin's Egg 2 DCWV cardstock
