Family

We did a free photo shoot with a girl who lives on post who recently completed photography courses. I wanted to have pictures taken for my husband and my brother came with his puppy to take some pictures for my parents. We ended up with a lot of great photos. Here are just a few.

Wedding Card

I needed to make a wedding card for this evening. Have not been scrapbooking much lately, but did enjoy making this card. Have a great weekend.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my husband. We missed you today and we can not wait to see you in a few months. Love, Angie, Nolan and Kellen

H2H Challenge

Well it has been a long time since I have posted on my blog. I really just needed a break from papercrafting. I needed a bridal shower card for this weekend and wanted something simple. So I used Bliss paper and embellishments. I also used pearls and the January stamp of the month. The only item on this card that is not CTMH is the ribbon. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Kellen

Today is my youngest son's birthday

and he is turning five. Can't believe he has really grown this much this fast. We are heading to Chuckie Cheese for a fun day with family and friends.

Pure Innocence

I made a trade with my best friend, Jess, and got to try out one of these adorable Pure Innocence stamp sets. I used CTMH Mayberry paper, crocheted flowers with buttone tied in bakers twine. I also used my new edge punch by Martha Stewart.

Birthday Card For My Niece

I made this birthday card for my niece whose birthday is coming up at the end of this month. She will be 11 this year and I can hardle believe were the time has gone. I used cocoa cardstock for the base and used my cricut to cut out circles in lagoon, pear and cotton candy cardstock. I also used bakers twine and a flower that I got at Michael's on clearance. (Sorry can not remember the brand)

Happy Anniversary To My Husband In Afghanistan

Today is our 9 year wedding anniversary. Although we are not together today I will be thinking about my husband and all the reasons why I married him nine years ago today.

Heart 2 Heart Sketch Challenge

This weeks challenge at Heart 2 Heart is a very simple but lovely sketch. I really like round cards but rarely make them. I used Mayberry paper, A Hop stamp set, Welcome Home stamp set and pearls. It felt good to make this card because I have been in a non-scrapbooking funk lately. Thanks for stopping by.

Nolan's Birthday Party

Nolan's birthday party was yesterday and I did a monkey theme because I call Nolan

my monkey. Each person took home a little bag filled with candies from the table. It was a fun day and even though it was sunny outside it sure was cold. Not like the warm spring day when I brought him home from the hospital. Enjoy your Sunday.

My Baby Boy is 8 Today!!!

Happy Birthday Nolan. We Love You!!!!

Claudia and Company Recipe Challenge

Claudia and Company have changed their challenges to bi-weekly. The newest challenge which starts today is a recipe challenge. The recipe is to use two pattern papers, buttons, circles, scallops, real or faux stitching and a sentiment. I used the paper pack Mayberry with the stamp sets Whoo Loves You, Love You Forever and Simple Stitches all from Close To My Heart. BTW the yellow centers of my flowers are buttons with pearls on top. Thanks for stopping by.

H2H Challenge- Three Times

This weeks challenge at Heart 2 Heart is to use three stamped images to make a scene. I used Splendor paper and the stamp set Beary Best. (I might be wrong about the name of the ss) My dads birthday is this week and so I made this card for him. I have been trying new ways to take pictures with my camera. Not sure this pic really came out too well. Just be sure to click on it to make it bigger. Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday.

Heart 2 Heart Sponsor

I am one of the sponsors this month for Heart 2 Heart. Being a sponsor means that I could be a Guest Design Team member for one of the challenges. I chose this weeks color challenge because I really like the color combo of Gypsy, Creme Brulee with a touch of Black. My prize package includes a My Creations Art Board, Floral Tapastry Simply Snapshots, a package of Clear Shapes, the stamp set Something Splendid and two square clear cards and two scalloped circle clear cards with clear envelopes of course. Make sure to check out all the great challenges coming up in the month of March.

The Kissing Challenge

Heart 2 Heart had a challenge to use the Kissing Method. It is a little hard to see but I used the Solo H and stamped it with a background stamp on Outdoor Denim. Then I cut out the H. I used the new paper Lucky and random stamped on Desert Sand cardstock. The felt arrow is not CTMH. I made this card for my husband's 33rd birthday next month.

Claudia and Company- Recipe Challenge

Claudia and Company had a recipe challenge this week. The recipe is 1 tag, 2 buttons, ribbon and a sticker. I made a tag using my cricut and added two pieces of ribbon. The buttons are tied with brown sugar bakers twine and the first B in the word baby is a sticker. I think this is my last baby card for awhile. Check out this challenge at www.claudiaandcompany.blogspot.com

H2H and MOJO #179

At Heart 2 Heart this week the challenge is to make something that references cold. This time of year when I think of cold I think of a nice warm cup of hot cocoa, tea or coffee. I made this card using the new Bliss paper and the sorbet paper is from Perfect Day. The stamps are A Sip and Warm Memories. For this card I used the MOJO Monday sketch for this week. Keep warm and have a great day.

Card Patterns-Baby Boy Card

I made this baby boy card using this weeks Card Patterns sketch. Seems like I have been making a lot of Baby cards lately. Check out the challenge at www.cardpatterns.blogspot.com

Baby Girl Card

I made this card using a sketch from www.iheart2stamp.com My mom needed a baby girl card and wanted me to use this cute little octopus stamp from Imaginisce. I also used a new paper pack from CTMH called Sophia. Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday.

Card Patterns and Claudia

I made this baby boy card for two different challenges this week. I used the sketch at Card Patterns. And the challenge at Claudia and Company is to make a boy card. My friend Jodi just had a brand new baby boy and this is for her and her family. Congrats Brown Family.

First off I must apologize for the very poor quality of these pictures. Make sure you click them to make them bigger. I think I need to borrow the book Photography for Dummies from my friend. I have never scrapbooked any of my wedding pictures and our 9th wedding anniversary is in April. That doesn't seem like a long time but wow we definately look younger. This Sweetheart paper pack is perfect for our wedding pictures. Thanks for stopping by.

Valentine's Day Dinner

Last night we had heart shaped pancakes for dinner with strawberries and bacon. Not fancy but we had a fancy dinner Sunday night with my brother and his girlfriend. We had a great day but we missed Daddy.

H2H Challenge Made With Love

The Heart 2 Heart Challenge this week is to use a heart in your project since today is Valentine's Day. I made these heart shaped chocolate lollipops for Valentine's Day. I used chocolate, white chocolate and crushed up candy canes. I made these tags using the new Sweetheart paper. Have a great Valentine's Day with the ones you love.

We will miss you

I know it is time for you to do your job, but it doesn't mean that we won't miss you everyday while you are gone. And even though this is our fourth deployment together saying goodbye to you never gets easier. I will miss the time we spend as a family doing simple things like eatting dinner together every night and watching TV together with a big bowl of popcorn. But mostly I will miss your smile and how you can always make me smile too. Please be safe because your family loves you and we are just not a family without you. Love, Angie, Nolan and Kellen XOXO
