Welcome!
YES! You are the right page! I just have a new name! :) After realizing that I do more than just scrapbooking, I've decided to change the name and will be changing the look.. I'd do a whole new blog but I'd hate to have to start all over. Here you will find scrapbooking ideas. There's a ton of older posts that used the Cricut, but lately I haven't been using it much and well, my sewing machine is gaining more miles by the day.

One more thing crossed off my list! The stickles are drying at the moment.. hopefully won't take too much longer. Then inside all I have to add after Bianca is born is the date, time, height and weight.
Baby was cut from New Arrival. Stamp is from Stampabilities. And the 'bow' is Magenta Stickles. The face was stamped with Peachy Keen
I started Bianca's Baby book last night. I wanted to get the Titles/photo frames and journal boxes all glued down, and have them all decorated ready to go, so that later I can just pop the pictures in them.
I'm using the same background paper, and paper for the photo mats through out the book. I have all the pages done, just need to do the embellishments on them!
Here are the first 3 layouts!
So excited, I HAVE to share it!
I just ordered $137 worth of photos from https://myonlineportraits.com FOR FREE.

And when the order is over $49.99, it's free shipping Thru March 31st. (even if your order is 0, as long as there is 49.99 worth of product in the cart, it's free shipping - no code needed!)
I ordered a total of::

8 - 5x7
8 - 8x10

Figured I'd share this great deal!! I don't know how long the coupon codes are good for, but they worked on 1-27-2012 :)
A friend of mine just had a baby girl on Monday, and I have a baby shower for another friend next month, so tonight, I decided to make them cards.
Here are the ones that I did::
Samantha at Samantha's Cricut Creations is having her one year anniversary blog hop today! I hope that you all get a chance to head over there and check out the many great projects on the hop!
She's also got a lot of blog candy she's giving away!
I been getting some really great deals on local trade sites... and it's not Craigslist! I was told about a Facebook group, and I guess there's many of them for all sorts of areas of the country. This has been saving me tons of money on baby clothes! Baby Girl Bianca has enough clothes now for her first 6 months! Here's just one of the lots that I got, I have a box full, and there's well over 50 outfits from newborn to 6 months, and I paid only $50 for it. So if you're in the market for something, check on Facebook to see if there is a group set up for your area! (Try searching for "local trade, swap, free" groups.)
The Nursery is *almost* done! Just needs a few minor details, and it's ready for Baby Girl Bianca Elizabeth :)
Bianca's Name was cut with Cricut Cartridge Ashlyn's Alphabet.
What happens when someone requests a 30" Football paper doll that needs to be painted onto a wall, and there is only one room in the house that hasn't been painted to test it out before it gets sent to it's final destination?? It ends up on one of the kids's walls. LOL. I've got a friend who is doing her Son's room in Viking colors, and she saw my valentines from 2 years ago with the mini Farve. She asked if I could make it bigger and be able to trace it to paint on to the wall. Since she's coming to town tomorrow, thought I'd get cracking on it.
I used PDDU and Design Studio to blow up a body and then had to line all the corresponding pieces so that it would be a good fit. Then, I cut it out of Mat Board and taped all the pieces together. Since I wanted to be sure that everything would fit as needed, and it helps to have a visual aid, I traced it onto an empty wall in Jordan's room.
Then, using Acrylic paint that I had on hand, Adrian Peterson was painted. It didn't take too long to paint and let him dry, and when Jordan decides on a color for his room, it can be covered up... but I'm hoping that he'll keep it and we can use molding to make a "frame" around him :) We'll see.. he's not much of a Vikings fan, but maybe he'll grow on him...
