Rosette Tutorial

Hi all....please excuse the quality of these pics but let me tell you its harder to hold things and get them to come out clearly when you are the cameraman & the teacher..haha...at any rate, if you have any questions please feel free to email me....It's pretty self explanatory unless you can't make out the pics...take a piece of card stock, double sided adhesive, and ribbon...other than scisoors thats all you'll need...lay enough adhesive down to house the amount of ribbon you'll want..this depends on you and the size of the flower you are wanting....twist ribbon as you begin to lay it and make sure to press down so it won't come out unraveled on you... as I said this can be as big or as small as you like...anyway, sometime today I'll post what I put my flowers on and you will be able to see up close...until then have a fabulous day....Sandi

Here's what I've been up to lately..

I almost forgot the piece de resistance'..hahaha....our sweetie, Jayden De La Rosa!!

(oops forgot to add the pencil to the bigger memo board)

Ok, so I've entered a couple of challenges lately and the one with Jay is no surprise that it one..I mean, look at him, isn't he just the cutest..how could he not win!!! hahaha!!!! Jayden's daddy is a pro boxer and he is following into his Daddy's footsteps it appears. Anyway, enjoy looking...

Now the memory board has a little story to it....the board on the right, was what we made at the CKC....I knew I could take it to another level and so here it is....I used a clipboard, which Connie so graciously had one to give me,(oh and these can be gotten at Walmart for less than a dollar). I used modgey podge and SU paper, which I just love....add the accessories and wahla!!! A nice gift ..oh yes, instead of using cardboard to cover the memory board, we used foam board..so cute...now I"m wishing I had put a pic in there..oh well, here it is...and for the 3rd and final item, Auntie Em , over at the ACBailey board linked a site with this darling concentration game--so vintage which I just love..

Come back soon, I have projects I'm working on laying on the table in the playroom...

Adios, Sandi

I'm Scrappin'

Hi all...I've been on a roll lately...I have been entering challenges to get me in gear to get these pics done and out of the box...I also just returned from Craftygoodies home where I was able to meet up with CardSister as well. It was a great couple of days...got to scrap and alter just a bit..I will post a few more pics tomorrow after work as I still have to find the right thickers to put on my layout...at any rate, we went to CKC in San Marcos and then to a fab little scrapbookin store where we found lots of goodies to bring home...I always enjoy gettin together with the girls to play but i am always happy to get home to dh....here's a couple of pics i wanted to share..one is of Connie doing a make & take at CKC and the other is a layout i did last week. The challenge was on Labor and my job and I wasn't lovin it, but as the girls say, it is what it is..haha....Adios and I'll see ya tomorrow!!!! Sandi

I'm in my Jammies!

Jim has been gone for a few days to do record fire in San Antonio for the reserves and guess who's been left alone to play? Yep, just me in this house alone. I am sure missin him, but its kind of fun to not get dressed and not have things I need to get done. I have been playing in the playroom since I got up about 10:45 this morning...Yes, oh yes, I slept in and it was great...I am scrapbooking today and plan on making some cards after I get lunch/dinner made in a bit.I decided that since I ate ice cream for dinner last night I better do something more nutrional for today, haha...
I am doing a couple of challenges and have one layout done minus the pics..haha...This one is on labor so I am doing my place of work which is really more fun than anything....I will post in a few days when I get the pics to add to it....After lunch I'll get some cards done and post them on here later. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday and you can kick back and do something you enjoy as I am....

Adios, Sandi

I did it!!!!

I am back in business in the playroom....I did a challenge over at the ACBailey board (to which I am spending way too much time on) and just wanted to share. I had so much fun. I am finally back in the mode to scrapbook and boy has it been a long, long time....I have another page I am going to work on tonight and hopefully get some cards done this week, as well. Oh and I have plans to get a memory board made using an antique frame I've had sittin around for like forever...

Anyway, I am making a few photo "cards" of the grand nieces and nephews to use on it. I only have one photo so far of the kids (way to go Krissy, who got me this fab pic of Daniella & Devin) but will get more of the rest of the bunch within the next few weeks...anyway, thanks for lookin and come back often!!!!

New Beginnings....

They are always good. I have dodged my blogs for so long I forgot my passwords, now how sorry is that!!! haha...but, I am coming back, sistah!!!! I have been dreaming about crafting and may I say, thats not happened for quite a while...At any rate, I hope to post 2-3 times a week and hopefully with the b-12 shot I had today, my energy will join my dreams and I will be able to CREATE!!!! and shake up this bloggin community, haha....

I have been home from work for 2 days now with flu like symptoms though we still don't have a name for what I had, but I walked out with a script for a zpac so I will be good as new by tomorrow....yippee...So until then, here's a card I did not too long ago...first thing I've even attempted for quite a while....I came across the idea on SCS and I loved how it turned out. It needs ribbon but that is for another card...enjoy and come back...I will be here, I promise...

Yeah, yeah , yeah this is me lately and who cares…you girls don’t scare me…hahaha

Ok, so I have a problem with lying..I mean I didn’t have this problem until I started receiving pressure from you guys….Yes, its true, I am a slacker. I have not maintained my blog to Connie’s standards (and talk about that pressure!!! Haha!!) and was really, really going to try by Sunday night to get some projects done and up…Well, Sunday came and went and honestly I just have not had to umph to get it done, ya know what I’m talkin about????…Now, I want to want to, but too much of life going on ya know?????
But I do need to get somethings done….but not till tomorrow…I have to see the boyz tonight, go and pressure my sil (um I mean encourage) to purchase some pampered chef tonight, and start alphabetizing my stamp sets in the playroom. Things are coming along, but, really, girlz, the pressure is killing me!!! Do YOU hear me?? YOU ARE KILLING ME!!! LOL….I mean I have a 40 hour a week job and I am a full time auntie and wife so give me a break, will ya??????? Haha….
Ok, here is what I am going to do…I have one project I have to get done just cuz its driving me crazy and a couple of graduation cards. These I have to do before I leave…and I will, PROMISE, to have them done and posted before I leave for our trip on Saturday..I will not get in the car and head out of town until I get them posted….And hopefully the one project I am wanting to do will be FABULOUS…..complete with tutorial, how’s that!!!!
I am going to see Con (hey Con) on Monday to play and I want to start on my bible verse challenges that we are all doing….which reminds me, Cindy, I need to sneak over to your blog and see what you’ve done on yours…..at any rate, I hope this will help..I know I got you all to blogging and I’m the slacker, but in my defense as I said, I work outside of my house and you girls get to play all day long, EXCEPT YOU KATI,,,, which is why I don’t BUG her, well, not that you are bugging me girls, but well, ok, you are..haha…love you all…see you soon…..I will email you and let you know when the blogs up…. And I have to get my other one updated as well…Be blessed today girls….
