Blue and Gold Coming Up

Just thought I would publish our ideas from last year!  Below is the invite, rsvp card, and program front we used.   I designed them on My Design Studio from Stampin' Up. There are some more ideas from last year here.

Getting better at it...

I slowly keep working at digital scrapbooking.  My friend Liberty is such an inspiration.
Here is a recent page that I really like from January 2011.
 
 

Christmas in July

It is always so frustrating to me that December is the most stressful month of the year.  I love Christmas and have felt robbed for the last couple years as my life has become busier with older and more kiddos!  I decided to utilize the lazy days of summer to get ahead of the game.

 

I made the tags and cut out the fabric for these sand art brownie jars right now then in December all I have to do is fill them!  I love giving these to my neighbors every three to four years.

 Saw this wreath on Pinterest and made it my own! I made the extra stars into ornaments. Thanks Little Birdie Secrets for the great idea!

I send out about 120 Christmas cards each year...most home made. I made 50 of these cards and 30 of two other styles!  This will definitely make December a lot less hectic!

End of Year Teacher Gift

 

 

 

 

I made this 8x8 scrapbook for Ms. Riley...Luke's wonderful 1st grade teacher.
 

Easter Decor

I have been working on my Easter display this year.  I almost have it done.
It just needs one more thing...not sure what that is yet!

This is probably the cutest thing I have ever made. (I will have to post a better picture.)
 I used the Word Collage cricut cartridge. 
I will explain how I put this together in a more detailed post.

I filled a hurricane full of shredded pastel paper.  I normally don't like these colors but they work so well with the rest of my Easter decorations.  (I bought the paper at Office Depot for 2 cents a sheet.)

Blue and Gold

I was in charge of our Pack's Blue and Gold this year and was hard pressed to find a lot of cute decorating ideas.   I have been working on a very simple pack scrapbook so I displayed some of the pages for our most recent events on our display board.  I also made little scouts using my Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge:

We meet in a very old Moose Lodge.  They are our Charter organization and we can hold our banquet there for free.  I made this backdrop to go on the stage out of the coat rack they have on hand.  It covers up the most watercolor of a older husband and wife gazing at each other (?).

Love is in the air...

or at least on the door!  I made this last night while my kids made a mess of the family room.  It was a great night!!  Happy Valentine's Day!!
