Grandkids scrapbook pages

It is no secret to anyone who knows me. I LOVE M&M's!! My daughter bought her kids these shirts on clearance and took this picture for me. I love it!!
So of course, I scrapped it right away! The background paper is just white cardstock and I stamped the candies all over it. Then I put strips of ribbon in the colors of their shirts. I think it turned out ptretty cute.
Then she also gave me a picture they had taken of the four of them.

Sorry about the glare. I used DCWV Generation Tech stack for the background paper.
I added some Tim Holtz Adage tickets and some funky buttons. The notebook paper journaling spot is one I had in my stash. I punch the side with ek success punch and ruffle up the edges like it was torn out of a notebook. I like the way this one turned out too.
I almost forgot to post the Valentines Day card I made my husband.

this was made completely with the Stamp TV true love kit and stampin up ink. I thought the plaid looked a little more masculine even if it does have pink in it!!
Well, that is all for today. Please leave me a comment and tell me what you think!

You can see his here http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/02/12-tags-of-2012-a-new-direction.html
Let me know what you think!

Look what I got in the mail!!

I came home from work Friday and saw a box on my porch and I thought, what is that? I didn't order anything that big! The return address said it was from my aunt who lives in California and I don't see very often. I opened the box and this is what I found!
Isn't it beautiful? I was SO SURPRISED!! I knew she made stuff like this because I had seen some she sent to my Grandma. I think it is just gorgeous. Too bad I don't make my bed very often!! I might put it on the bed in the guest room where it can be displayed all the time.  I made her this card to say thank you.

I am just shocked still. I had no idea it was coming!
Now I have another family keepsake!

2 new cards

I haven't been doing very much crafting but I am feeling the mood again. Last night I made 2 cards and I thought I'd share. This first one I made wth some images a fellow blogger, Okie, (I am sure you all know her!) shared with me. And I have to admit, I stole her sentiment too!

I love it! I took them to work to show people and someone bought this one!
This is the other one I made.


I think I am going to work on some more tonight. Maybe I'll play with my Imagine and see what I can come up with!
Thanks for looking!
