Awesome day

Today was a totally awesome day. I went down to Archivers with a friend and her boyfriend to take a card class. Also got in some shopping while there. Can't go and not shop can I? then we went to lunch at Rainforest Cafe. I love that place. We had a blast. Then I went over to their house to help put in a new floor. They had flood damage when their basement flooded.

Now here is some more Cosmo Cricket projects. Their stuff is so cool. I just love it. Their rubons are so easy to use.
These are a couple of the frames I made the other night.


Here are a few Cosmo cards.
The second set of cards also uses some Hero Arts stamps I just got.
Well time for bed. I need to get up early to go up to my dad's and do the lawn work. Next week i will post a layout I made about my puppy and her pool.
Good night,
Janie

The sun is shining

It is nice and sunny today again. Thank God, we need to get rid of some water around here. Southeastern Wisconsin it under water, as you might have heard. Luckily the lakes and rivers seem to have crested. Now we just wait for them to go down. Last week I had to rush up to my dad's twice to take things out of the lake. Tuesday the lake was so high and rough that it was taking the peer apart. One more day and it would have been floating away section by section. Friday night I had to pump all the water out of his sailboat so we could take it out. The water had risen so high that the sailboat was moving the lift. Now we just wait to see when everything can be put back in. I am just thankful that what we are going through is very minor compared to what so many are going through.




Now on to more creative things. I promised to post a mini book. This is one I made from Cosmo Cricket Wonderland journaling blocks and some ribbon.










I am using this book to record some of the childhood memories of my brothers and me. In the picture stash I got from my dad's attic there are a few of the annual Christmas pictures I plan to put in the little book. Now all I have to do is get some memories from my one brother.


Have an awesome day.

A first for me

Hey there!

I actually created a blog, isn't that cool.....I know not really, but just humor me.
I thought today I would post a couple projects that I created a bit ago.

The first one is an AAM page and ATC card set I created for a swap. Figured that would be a good first one.





The papers are form my favorite line of Cosmo Cricket called Wanted. The stamp is also a favorite of mine from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous.




Here is a layout i did of my old puppy playing in the snow. I still miss this puppy.




The papers in this layout are Basic Grey and Karen Foster (pet paper). Sorry about the glare.


One more for today. Here is a treasure chest I created out of a sewing kit packaging and Cosmo Cricket Wonderland papers. The rub ons are also from Cosmo Cricket, they are awesome.



That's it for today. Tomorrow I will try and post a mini book I made.
Thanks for checking this out.
