Monday, Monday.....

So what a weekend we had! Sheesh, it was fun but exhausting. I need a weekend to recover...hahahaa!

What did we do???

Well lets start at the beginning shall we?...Friday went as usual. Get son after school and finish some chores and

enjoy the start of the break.

Saturday got up early. A few chores then it was off to The Alley with my son and 4 of his friends

for his birthday party extravaganza! WOOHOO! I think everyone had a good time. There was bowling, Pizza,

Go carts, Cupcakes, Arcade games and prizes! Fun Times!! Here are a few pictures from the fun.

We got home that evening and crashed.....

Sunday we attened a party that KPTS was having for their 40 year anniversay. It was at an ice rink and everyone who

brought a book got to skate for free! YAY!

Ice skating was FUN!

And then home for some quick dinner, baths and bed. Time to start a new week. Not sure what next weekend

holds for us to do....*smiles*

Pink Cat Studio announcement!

I have some fun news to share! Pink Cat Studio has New Paper Piecing Projects! I was so honored to be able to try a few of them out before their release and have to say they are very easy to put together. I used the hand cut patterns and it was so fun! You gotta see the new fun designs you can get. Check them out here.

In the meantime here is a project I made with the giraffe paper peicing pattern. I just loved working with this. Ya know I LOVE giraffes!

I can envision using this card for a sweet Valentine or even a sweet baby card. I used some Basic Greay papers for the Giraffe, Basic Grey cardstock sticker a few rhinestones and embossed using my Cuttlebug and the Swiss dots folder. Ribbon is Offray( pink) and Dashes, dots and checks (brown polka dots)

I hope you get a chance to stop by and try a few of these patterns out for yourself.

Have a great day!, Hugs JennK

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my Baby Boy Jacob! He is 10 years old today! I just cannot believe that it has already been 10 years since the day we met. WOW! Time sure is flying and I can't stop that from happening. Some days I wish I could. No matter what though you will always be my first born, my baby!

What a bummer the kids had to go back to school today, so Bug(aka Jacob) will be there most of his day today. We will be celebrating with some chocolate cupcakes when he gets home though.

Love you Bug!

Some more Cards...

I finished a few more cards today! YAY!! I used some new stamps that I am lovin'!!

The first card is in preparation for Valentines day! You never can be too early for LOVE right?! It was inspired by a sketch over on the Smeared and Smudges group. There is a yummy prize and you have all month to create! Come over and check it out. Cards not your thing? They have a scrapbook sketch for ya as well!!

This yummy stamp set is from Artful Inkables. It is called Steampunk Sarah and I Love it! It is so much fun to play with. I colored her with Copics and used some more Nikki Sivils U R my Favorite papers. I just can't get enough!

My next card I used a digital stamp by Michelle Perkett. I just LOVE her images as well! So awesome!

I colored this image in with Copics also. But for the background I chalked it with a few colors. I really like the ethereal effect it gave the image. The soft colors are exactly how I wanted to her be. So soft and fairy like. The sentiment is from the set above by Artful Inkables. The patterned paper is K&Co.

Already the last card I have for today is another digital stamp. This time the image is a Wild Flower kid. She is so sweet! Her name is Violet and she was just released as a digital stamp.

Again I used Copics to color my image. (are you seeing a pattern here?) *giggles* And some more of the Nikki Sivils papers. YUMMO!

In other news I have a little secret to tell. I am so excited to share it, but I can't just yet. I hope in the next few days to share the exciting news.

Until next time keep craftin'!

Crafting fool!!

I am on a roll lately!! Lovin' 2010 so far!! My MOJO is in full swing! YES!! I love it! Don't you just love when you have so many great things rolling around in your head you can't get them out fast enough? That is how I am feelin right now. I am swimming in ideas. I am not complaining thats for sure...HEHEEE!! Cause when the Mojo runs dry it can be painful.

Alright now for the show of stuff I have been creatin'..

First off there are 2 sketches this week on The Pink Elephant. WAAHOO!! Well, I used both. I also used some more Nikki Sivils goodies.

Another card with the same Yummy papers from Nikki Sivils, but didn't follow a sketch for this one. I did however use my paper cup cozy from Starbucks. I just couldn't throw it out. I knew I would find another use for it and looky here, I think it is just perfect. I added a little Stickles and a few buttons to finish it off.

Now onto a layout I created too. I just love these pictures of my wee babe crafting with me. You can't start them out too young I say. He was having so much fun crimping paper that I just kept giving him more and more scraps to play with. He just Loved it! So did I.

I used some scraps of Scenic Route I had left for the layout. I also used my nesties and some letters from Making Memories.

Hope you enjoyed a little bit of my MOJO.

Hugs, JennK
