Going back to 1934

 First.... Some happy news! I found out I was spotlighted at Paper Variety! They chose to feature my Puddles card with Stompin' Tobie for their April Showers challenge
I was spotlighted at TPV!
 Yay!!....................AND...... I won the Lollipop Crafts challenge last week so I'll be getting  some stampy goodness from inky impressions

Now Im going to tell you a secret about me.  I am a paper whore. Every CHA I drool and sigh at all the prettiness. BC (you know before child) I would then buy the entire line, use a few of the papers and then it would sit in my paper cupboard til I thought of it again. Now my budget is SO tight it squeaks. I spend now in a year what I used to spend in a month. I rarely get any new stuff that doesnt come from design team gigs.

That being said when I saw the Cosmo Cricket circa 1934 line I HAD to have it. Since I couldnt have it ALL I settled with just buying a few bits and pieces. I bought 3 patterned papers and 1 journal block paper. I pulled it out last night and got my scrap on. Here is what I created....



and there is another layout i have started on my desk using the scraps! ohhhh and there is a card


Im entering the card into the following challenges
Truly Scrumptious (vintage)
Stars and Stamps (layers)
Stamp Insanity (flower power)
Paper Pal Arts (flowers ppa89)
Mami doodles (kraft)
Cupcake Crafts (lots of layers)
Pixie Dust Studio (sentiment)
Paperplay (photo)

Not bad for only a few papers eh?

Wonderful weekend

It was another great weekend! Friday my sister in law and I took Aubrey and my nephew to the ZOO! It was Aubrey's first time and she had a BALL. Its a small zoo (they have no monkeys WTF) but there was enough to see with the itty bitties. They cheered at the animals, played on the playgrounds and had a big lunch in the sunshine. Here they are saying YAY as the penguins swam by. They were sleeping before we got out of the parking lot.


Then Friday night my husband took me to dinner and a comedy club. I ate too much, drank too much and laughed too much. It was a perfect night until Aubrey had a meltdown and I had to go home. :(

Saturday we spent the night playing games with family and Sunday I got my SCRAP on. I even got an hour by myself. Imagine that! I spent that time doing layouts for the upcoming Tidbitz in Time reveal. Here are a few sneaky peeks



I so cant wait to dive back into this kit! Its gorgeous! Everything you see is kit except the denim. I tore the rear out of a pair of jeans last week so I decided to cut them all up and play with them. :) Im sure you'll be seeing a lot of denim from me this month

Keep it Simple Sister

This week at Some Odd Girl our challenge is to create a Clean and Simple card. I struggled with this one a little bit. If you havent noticed Im not really a clean and simple girl so I just tried to limit my lumpy bumpy embellishments. The result isnt super CAS but it worked enough that they let it pass :)  Check out the challenge at the Odd Girl Blog for a chance to win yourself a few fabulous digis!

Here is my Rainbow-licious card using the darling  Roller Mae

Papers are scraps from the Sassafras "Me Likey" line. I colored Miss Mae with Sharpies and polka dotted her scarf. Sparkly gold skates were colored with a Sakura gel pen

Im also entering her into:
Cupcake Craft Challenges (comedy)

CASing it up gave me the urge to get all complicated and layered. I visited a few other challenge sites and then I created this card last night using Stompin Tobie . I usually go straight for the girls when choosing stamps but he is just SO cute I couldnt resist! He reminds me of Wyatt stomping in the puddles at camp last year.  
Im entering him into the following challenges
Card Makin Mamas (embellish it)
Stamp Something (something digital)
Paper Playtime (digi anything goes)
Creative Card Crew (April Showers)
Do you stack up? (follow the yellow brick road)
Paper Variety (April showers)
Crafts Creations (rain showers)
