Side Step Card



Hello All,
Here is a card, I made for my DH it's not the greatest pic but I hope you get the idea.
My computer and camera are acting up so,I haven't been posting.
I think all the bugs are worked out or at least praying that they are.
Why is it that you upgrade one thing and then everything else you own then becomes incompatible & UN-discoverable? I was so upset spending the day fixing my laptop,when I could have been stamping...
Thanks for letting me vent.

Let me know what you think,

Where has the time gone?


I can't believe it has been two weeks tomorrow since my last post...
Well I have found myself a bit uninspired lately and between potty-training and life in general, 
I took a little break. 
So I did keep busy, I was just being LAZY when it came to taking pics and writing. I really need to change that because, I really did start to "Miss my Blog Family". 
I did come up with this tri-fold card, I had to walk away from it because,I didn't like were it was going,but in the end,I think it came out okay. I used some paper scraps and an old SU! Simply Scrappin' Kit and was glad to put it to use.




So First things first when you have a 17,14 an almost 3 year old how can life NOT be BUSY.  
My 17 year old is enjoying her 1st summer off since elementary,she is playing bass for the musical "Hairspray" and getting ready for college in August. 
My 14 year old is still in summer school and just finished a summer basketball league
he starts band camp in August. 
My Baby Boy will be three on the 29th and
We have been working really hard to get him potty trained before that. 
He is really doing a Great Job. 
It is AMAZING what a little patience and a bag of peanut M&M's can do. 
I find it amazing that normally, I would not be doling out M&M's to my 2 yr. old.
But desperate times call for desperate measures and since he will be three soon, 
I was desperate. 
I took all his trains away and he got one back for every time he would pee on the potty and that went well but I couldn't get him to do his "business" on the potty. 
So when I promised CANDY (1 peanut M&M) It worked. 
Am I ASHAMED that I had to bribe my child? 
ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!
At this point I was going to do whatever it took to get him OUT of DIAPERS and
YES we are FREE, FREE at LAST!
So that's where I have been and now I am back at my laptop sharing a bit of me and hoping in the end it inspires someone out there to create something beautiful. 
So this is what my work area looks like because, I am in desperate need of using up my paper supply and scraps.
Wow do I need to get to work...
I may have to rethink that hoarder thing... LOL

Sew Simple

I hope you all had a FUN & SAFE Holiday and were able to share some downtime with Family & Friends.
We had a nice holiday weekend and Little "J" had a blast in the pool. 
We had Root Beer floats while we watched the firework show Master "D" put on and all in all had a great time.
We are trying to stay cool from the triple digit heat,but honestly it just rained a few weeks ago so we can't really complain about the heat to much. 
So last week, I tried to organize some of my paper stacks. After I searched high and low for the "perfect" graduation paper and finding it in my very own stash made me realize, I really need to figure out what I have.
So I have decided to try and CREATE with one stack at a time and hopefully my paper stacks will be put to good use and I will have room for more crafting supplies....

So here is my first Project 



All the paper came from my paper stack except for Very Vanilla & Crushed Curry (retired SU! card stock)
I used on the side. I made two cards the fronts are the same and the insides are just a bit different.
I stamped the image three times
once on the Very Vanilla and once on green paper and once on Crushed Curry.
I then cut out their dresses and attached them with snail.


I  added paper buttons with my SU! sizzlits die.

 I really enjoyed sewing the paper together for the inside of these cards,

for the stitching, I used my New Singer "Stitch Sew Quick"
I found it at Wal-mart for around $14.00 dollars and It's so fun to use.
.

Let me know what you think...
Happy Stamping,
Kymberli
