{dear 2011 & one more TSM sneak...

Another page for my art journal {thank you paperlife}. When I need a scrapping "boost", I work in my art journal. I love just grabbing pieces from my stash and creating whatever happens. I keep alot of my packaging, and for this page I used Prima...

{our little bathing beauty...

I have the week off, and am finally getting to dig into my Studio Calico kits a bit more. They were beginning to pile up and I feel like I needed to play before the January kit arrives!

{tag time...

Okay, so I'll admit it! I'm completely in LOVE with my new snowflake punch! I can't get enough of it right now, but then {hello!} I probaly won't use it much come summer right? So why not get my $$$ out of it now. Hee! Hee!

I was so inspired by the tags that Mandy shared last week that I decided I needed to make a few quick tags for the kids' teacher gifts. Something simple using some scraps from the Story Matters - December kit:

{congrats x2...

Girl Friday....oh how I have missed you! This was one of my FAV lines by Cosmo Cricket. The colors...oh I just can't get enough!

I whipped up a super simple baby card for a friend from high school. She has 2 new little teenie twinkies and I can't wait to take their pics next summer!

{food...gifts...and lots of laughs...

This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. My sisters, mom, and now my oldest niece, & I enjoyed our annual "girls" brunch. It's just a fun morning of food, gifts, and spending time together for the holidays without all the mass craziness of having 13 kids running around.

Chase helped me make a star banner last night. Love how it turned out!

The food...it's all about that...

{easy peasy christmas decor...

I've seen these around the web & have wanted so badly to make one. So, I decided I needed one for my kitchen window for my brunch that I'm hosting tomorrow.

They are super easy:
Start with a bunch of circles punched from your fav papers or scraps. {I used some fun gcd papers}...
Photobucket

Run them through your sewing machine...
Photobucket

Just keep sewing and adding circles until you've got the length you want!

Wouldn't a star one be cool? Hmmmm...it may be a late night of setting up. Hopin to take lots of pics with my sistas, mom, & my oldest niece tomorrow.
