One in a Minion

Every year we have to decorate a pumpkin for a PTA fundraiser. This year I made a minion pumpkin. He's a little darker yellow and plumper than most minions, but I think he's pretty cute!

I used mint tins for the goggles, pipe cleaners for the hair, and a scrap of fabric for the overalls. I've gotten pretty attached to him and hate to give him up. I hope he goes to a good home!

Hey Boo!

I'm BAAAACK! I've done very little crafting this summer, but now that it's fall, I'm ready for the crafting season!

We are going to start "BOOing" each other at school this week so I made these little do it yourself smores. The stamps are from the Batty For You set from Stampin' Up! and the ribbon is from Michaels.

Happy Birthday Mom

My mom would've been 78 today. I really miss her. I keep thinking about things I wish I would've asked her about regarding the past, family, recipes, etc. Make sure you take advantage of the time you have with your loved ones!

This is a card I made for her in 2009. I used the Top Note die to cut the card and all the stamps and papers are from Stampin' Up!

Summer Fun from the past

I finally updated my hanging scrapbook with some old summer pics from when the kids were little. I just love updating this each season and being able to look at it and remember when...

Happy Father's Day!

I hadn't made a Father's Day card for my husband, so I asked the kids to pick one out at the store. After awhile, they asked if I could make a card because "all the cards at the store were lame!" Of course, I was thrilled to death that they actually asked me to make a card instead of buying one! Although, their thinking may have been "if we have to give him a lame card, it may as well be one Mom can make for free!"

I dug around in my craft room and of course I had mustache paper and stickers since I love the whole mustache craze and this is what I came up with. Speaking of mustaches, when I married my husband he was rocking a Tom Selleck mustache and looking pretty good in it! Happy Father's Day!!

Birthday Smackdown!

My son is obsessed with WWE wrestling! So of course we had a WWE birthday party complete with a championship belt cake. I used leftover cards from the party decorations as embellishments on my page. The background paper is actually the new Anthem Line from Bo Bunny. The colors were perfect for my layout!

You Crack Me Up!

My sister, neice, and my neice's kidss, came over for Easter. The kids had so much fun cracking cascarones over each other's heads! I found these stickers I had from Bo Bunny and knew they would be perfect for my layout. The paper is also from Bo Bunny, but a different line than the stickers. That's what I like about Bo Bunny. Their lines use the same colors for several years so it is easy to mix and match.
