Time to Play Catch Up- Picture Heavy

 Happy Monday everyone. I am finally feeling better. I got a headache Friday afternoon, that by Saturday Morning (3am ish) had turned into a full blown migraine. I thought it would be gone by Sunday, but no dice. I suffered through it yesturday too. It was doublely hard because I had my daughters ladybug party to get ready and have!! I muttled through it, and she had a BLAST!!

 Here's the party pics:

 Now, I have to go catch up on all the blogs, my DT requirements and laundry! If anyone needs any info on how I made anything, leave me a note, and I'll post how I made it:)

Lotsa Kicks....

  My girls are not dancers, they are way to clumsy for anything really, but they are not graceful in any shape or form. That being said, we needed some sort of after school activity for them, so they play soccer.

  Last year was my youngest daughter's first year playing, and egads it was a disaster! She cried almost the whole time (except snack time) and if she was on the field either me or my husband had to be holding her hand. In all fairness to her though, the whole team was like that lol. So this year we tried again, and if it was a fail then we were done with soccer. Well, she surprized the heck out of us and she LOVED it. If there was a rain cancel, she was so upset. And after every game she would ask how many sleeps til the next game! The best part of this.....she was more concerned with how many times she KICKED the ball, and didn't care one bit if she scored a goal, or what the final score was!! After every game she would say "Mom, I had Lotsa Kicks today!!"

Supplies:
Cardstock- Black CTMH
Pattern Paper- Jellibean (I think..have to double check)
Cartridge- Paper doll Dress up - Net @ 3 inches, Ball and Flags @ 5
                 A Child's Year- Font cut at 1 inch
orange stickles

  Off to finish my ladybugs (again) cuz tomorrows her BirthdayParty!!

My Loss, is Your Gain....3 Girl Jam is Looking for YOU!

 Sadly, in a few short weeks, my term as a 3 Girl Jam dt will come to and end. I have to say this, Julie gave me my very first DT experience and I will be forever thankful. She has been wonderful and generous and a complete delight to know. As have been my fellow 3 Girl Jam DT sisters. Some of us will be moving on, some of us may stay. She has asked if any of us might want to stay, and I thought about it a great deal, but my new DT requires alot, and I don't want to let down Julie if I am unable to complete a project on time...I do hope she lets me be a guest designer though :)

  So here are the details on 3 Girl Jams new DT call:

 I strongly suggest trying out, the ribbon is wonderful, and Julie is a complete joy to work with!!

Card #2

So, I never did get around to making a 3rd card. It was date night yesturday with the DH. My inlaws picked up my kids, and at 1 I woke up the hubby and off we went for the whole day and night. It was an amazing day, but it meant not getting my 3rd card done....a fair trade if I do say so:)

 So here is card number 2 that I made, and I do like this one. I scrap lifed this from Scrap Jacked. Its a blog where you are encouraged to jack their projects....just the kick in the bum that I need sometimes. I Jacked Andrea's card:

 I left space in the blue incase the girl I made it for wants me to add the retiring nurses name:)

And this is just the simple inside.

Recipe:
Cardstock: All just scraps from my stash
Ribbon: Scraps from stash
Twine 3 Girl Jam
Ink and stamp: Cranberry red CTMH
Cartridge: PaperDoll Dress up Nurse cut at 3
                                                  font cut at 2

So EXCITED!!

 
I am a new DT of My Cricut Craft Room!! I'm so excited. We switched internet providers last week, and I wouldn't let my husband cancel the old one until atleast today on the off chance that I get the good news, and guess what...I did!!
