TGF Royal Battle Week 4!!!

Hey there Friends! My team has made it to the FOURTH week of the TGF Royal Battle!!! I am so excited about this! This week our challenge was to make a candy holder... Well, if you've been reading my blog for a little while, then you'll know that I love to make candy holders, so I was all pumped to make the challenge for this week, but... we're moving! And it just was not going to happen! So Marley stepped up and made this AMAZING lollipop holder: I could not have made a better candy project, it was meant to be for Marley to make the entry this week! So, if you want to support our team, the Time Travellers, please go to this link: http://www.tgfllc.com/galleria/showphoto.php?photo=13811 and vote for our project! If we make it to the next, and FINAL round, then it will finally be my turn to make our project. I can't tell you how nervous that makes me! Especially since, at this moment, half my stamp room is in boxes in my new garage, and the other half is at my old house! AGH!!! But I am up for the challenge and I want us to make it!!! lease go and vote for us. Remember, you have to register in the Galleria to be able to vote, and you can only vote for ONE project this week!
Thanks friends!

Scenic Sunday

Hello my friends! I haven't done a Scenic Sunday in awhile so I thought I'd pop on here real quick and post some pics for ya!Spring is here in Northern Italy! My Narcissus are blooming, and I'm hoping to transplant them into a pot so I can take them to our new house... without killing them! Here is a sunny pic of my 2 younger kiddos playing on the slide:
Ashton has his "Popeye" look and Angel baby is wearing an adorable hat that my fabulous blogging buddy, Gabby, made! Here is another pic of my Narcissus:
Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! I'm off to pack some more!

Girl's Rock!

Hey there friends! Sorry about my absence this last week, but we've been moving and things have been pretty crazy here! We're just moving into a different house, cuz we want to and we can! So why not take advantage of it, right? Ok, so I'm supposed to be somewhere right now and I'm running behind so my post is going to be super quick. Remember the easel card I made for the first Royal Battle Challenge? Well, I knew I'd seen them on drawer boxes, and I found the template! I will share the link later but here is something I made with the template:I love the color combo of pink and grey! This fun little thing is going to a friend of mine with some candy in the drawer, lol. I made this for the Gettin' Punky With It challenge on Club Anya and Friends. Yes, it is the sketch from a FFF challenge a week or so ago, but I didn't make it in time for that challenge, just used the awesome sketch because I love it! I think that sketch will be one of my go-to sketches that I'll put in my sketch book. Alrighty, I just got a phone call and I'm super behind now! Gotta run! See ya later!

Royal Battle Coraline Entry!

First off, HAPPY EASTER!!! I hope your Easter Sunday is a blessed one! We're not doing much today, just a little egg hunt for the kiddos. It's the first year that Angel Baby will be able to RUN for the eggs, so we're looking forward to watching her do that!

Like I was telling you all yesterday, it's week 2 of the Royal Battle over on the Greeting Farm blog. Our team, the Time Travelers has entered a card made by our Superb teammate, Suzi. Here is her amazing Coraline inspired card:

Isn't it amazing?!? I love all the detail she put into the card! The buttons, the key, the moon, the front walkway to the house!!! Wow! So we're hoping to get enough votes to continue on in the Royal Battle. Can you help us out? All you need to do is go to the Galleria HERE and vote for our card! If you aren't registered for the galleria, it's super simple to do and we would REALLY appreciate it! This is just the second battle challenge, but the competition is tough! Every vote counts!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. Now I need to find the charger for my camera so I can take pictures of our egg hunt today!

HAPPY EASTER BLOG BUDDIES!!!

Royal Battle 2 and Anyone For Anya

Hello! It's Saturday, are you enjoying your weekend? We've had a pretty relaxed day so far, with lots of playing outside. Tomorrow is Easter and while we don't have any huge plans, it should be a nice day as well. As long as the weather cooperates that is! So it's week 2 in the Royal Battle of the Design Teams on The Greeting Farm Blog and our team, the Time Travelers has decided on a fantastic card to enter this week! It's not my card, lol, but it is amazing and I love it! I'll post that one tomorrow, but in the meantime I thought I'd show you my card. I altered Oliver and Amelia to make my Angel Baby:Angel loves playing with her big brothers, so she's somewhat of a tomboy! She has these little dino toys and when she plays with them she makes a "ROAR!" and looks so cute. So she inspired me for the 2nd battle challenge. We were challenged to make an easel card:
This was my first attempt at making an easel card, and although I've seen them all over blog-land I haven't actually made one until now. I love the different fold and I know I'll be making more! I have several ideas floating around in my head about this fold, so expect to see some more easel cards from me soon! Also, I used the wonderful sketch from this weeks Anyone For Anya challenge. It was just the right sketch for this card, even though I left out the one element off the middle of the card. Alrighty then, I need to head out the door to a bbq, so I hope you all have a great night and I'll see you in the comments section! ;)

It's April!

Hey there friends! Can you believe that it's already APRIL??? Wow, this year is flying by. Soon the kids will be out of school for summer break! Sheesh!

Today I have a sweet card to show you. I made this for the March Aloha RAK I participated in. I just hope my recipient doesn't see it here and spoil the surprise! I used Amy's Sweet November Fairy, Tangle Gobblinshimmer:
I was going for a soft color scheme and hopefully that was accomplished. I wanted this card to coordinate with the Fairy Calendar I made so I used the same papers. I sent both this card and the calendar for the RAK.
I also wanted to do something a bit different with the card fold so I just made it sort of like a gate card. The ribbon slides off to open the card and reveal the little message:
The sentiment is from The Greeting Farm's Whimsical Wishes stamp set (can't find it on the site right now, sorry! Must be out of stock). This card turned out really sweet, considering I didn't have any idea what I was going to do when I started! I hope my RAK partner likes it when she gets it! And now, just for fun, here's a pic of Angel Baby hanging out on Daddy's dirt bike:
Yup, the bike is in my HOUSE! LOL! We don't have a garage (yet... more about that later) so DH had to rebuild his bike in the house... he decided he likes the way it looks, so it is now part of the living room decor. Well, for another week or so, then it's going to be put in a garage... but like I said, more about that later! Heehee!

Well, that's it for today. Have a great first day of April and I'll see you all later!
