Beep Beep!

Good afternoon, y'all! How is everyone today? I have ANOTHER post for ya! WOOT! :P This post actually goes way back to the beginning of summer, right before my hands became infected! On his last day of pre-school, my son Joseph was invited to his first birthday party. My JoJo was SO excited! His friend Michael chose a pirate theme which the boys ate up. Michael's mom asked that we make donations in lieu of gifts but being low on funds, we couldn't even do that. So I decided to make him a gift,(why not?)and I decided to try my hand at a mini album. I was lucky to find the Cricut Beep Beep cartridge on clearance for $15, along with the Cuttlebug folders-it was a sign! Michael and JoJo love to play with cars so I figured I would make a Beep Beep album. The album turned out well and I can't wait to make another. If you have any questions about dimensions please leave a comment and I will get it to you. I will say this, it was an envelope album and the dimensions for the envelopes are 7 1/2in x 5 1/2in. For the tags inside the envelopes, I welded together the tag and car images then layered the car pieces on top of the tag itself. Thanks for stopping by, again! I cannot wait to post again soon. Take care and have a great evening!





My pirate. Arr!

I'm Finally Back!!! Well...almost.

Oh my goodness!!!! It is SO good to be 'back'! The past 6 weeks have been Hell!!! Ironically, the day of my last post, I got a prescription for an antibiotic to cure an infection I had in my right pointer finger. I have eczema and it is very sensitive to weather. During our hottest and driest week, my eczema became painfully dry and cracked which let in normal bacteria that is found on our hands. Unfortunately, I also have asthma and severe seasonal allergies. (Seasonal allergies were the worst this summer too!) So on top of all the 'fighting' my poor body was doing, the infection was too much and it overran my system. To make a long, and extremely painful, story short the infection overtook both my hands rendering them useless for the past 6 weeks. I am on my 6th or 7th course of antibiotics. After being in and out of the ER on IV antibiotics for a week and a half, and the infection only getting worse, the doctor finally admitted me to the hospital for 4 days last week...

Bookm-ARGH! Card

Image
Good Monday morning, everyone! How is everybody today? I hope your weekend was fun. :) Mine was awesome. Got a LOT of cleaning done and then even more crafting done. Minus the fact that my chest infection keeps me from breathing....I had a good weekend. However, I am as clumsy as I could possibly be. I don't know what it has been this past week but I cannot seem to control my hands. They have been fumbling everything! Point in question? My first ever bookmark card. I thought I would try out another different style of card and I have always wanted to do a bookmark card. This one turned out BEAUTIFULLY...until I dropped my ink pad on it. >.> I was not impressed. Hence 'Bookm-ARGH' card. :) *tee hee* I've really been getting into stamping lately. I am waiting for my first set of stamping inks from Close to my Heart to arrive, (along with the Artiste cartridge EEEEE!). The stamps I used for this card are from Close to my Heart. The main sentiment is from the "P...
