LIttle Stinkers 3 (or really 4)


I am using up some old Basic Grey paper I have from a few years ago when TAC was selling their papers. This is also an old, go to layout that I have used time and again. I colored using my watercolor pencils and Dove blender, and also added a little sponging with the Cognac Palette ink around all the edges.

The stamp sets are: Little Stinkers from the spring "Serendipity", Running Stitches (a real must have), and Ordinary Greetings.

My Cowboys



This is what my little cowboys looked like Sunday morning before church. They had been able to get ready for church early and so decided to play cowboys (Anth received old Roy Rogers movies from Grandma for his bday). They were so cute I made them stop so I could get pictures. They loved it, and believe it or not, on both of these they posed themselves...Anthony just HAD to have one of him going for his guns (can you see them tucked into his belt?), since he insists he is a really FAST draw. Brandon was shooting behind him, whether he was shooting at a chasing posse, or is being chased by bad guys, who knows.

Punk Princess Card

A quick and simple card made with "Punk Princess," one of the sets TAC had as a special last month.

The paper is Uptown Girl. There are Crystal Stickles on the main piece, but it doesn't show up well on the scan.

Finally Some Stamping


Here is a scrapbook page that sent in to TAC, but it didn't make their site.

I used Simple-Bet and a one month only bird set that was out in June. The paper is TACs Toodle Loo and matching cardstock.

New Camera But NO Stamping




My husband is on a forced "vacation" this week, as his work closed down for the week to save some money. Because of that I am not getting much done around the house. We did have a fun day yesterday. We went to the Nature Center which is near the Tulsa Zoo and went on a short hike, were able to look inside a honey bee hive, and a few other neat things while there. We will definitely be going back for some of the "classes" they hold for kids. While there I was able to play around a little with my new camera. Here are 3 of the pics that I took. Julia was my subject because the boys wouldn't sit still. Of course, she wouldn't have either if she had a choice, but she isn't that mobile yet.

"Bad" Haircut...




Sorry, no stamping today. This is a pic my now 8 year old (his birthday is today) took of the back of my head. Some of my friends from far away had heard of my haircut that ended up WAAAAAY shorter than it was supposed to be and wanted to see it. This is a month and a half later, so you can imagine how short it was then! At the time it was shorter in the back than Wayne's, granted, he needed a haircut badly, but STILL!!! By the time I had realized what she was doing, it was too late, it would have had to be glued back on, lol.

I am not sure how to grow this out and get it back to what I like AND still have it look nice while it does. I wish extensions weren't so stinkin' expensive.
