Zee--From Nick Jr! :)

Gracie and Ava love Nick Jr. (formerly Noggin) and I thought Zee would be pretty easy to paper piece. :) I made this little decoration to hang from a shelf with pegs on it that is in Gracie's room. I hand-cut the beak and legs, but everything else is punched. The body and wings are SU! punches as well as the flower and embellished corners (scallop circle, scallop oval, small oval, 1/2" circle, 1/4" circle, ticket corner, and Trio Flower). The stem and leaf is a Marvy Punch (I cut off some extra leaves in order to mimic Zee's flower), the blue rhinestone is by Darice. I used Ballet Blue, Pink Pirouette (retired), Pixie Pink, Basic Black, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, and So Saffron cardstock. The rick-rack is a mini spool I bought from Michaels a long time ago. I thought it turned out pretty cute! :)

Baby Album First Page

Sorry for the long lapse in my crafting projects. I actually have a LOT of things to share, but my transcription work has been so busy lately that I haven't had time to take the photos, edit them, and think of text to post with them. This is the first page for a 12x12 baby album that my friends and I have been commissioned to do. The grandmother said that the parents-to-be love fishing and sports, so this was my way to incorporate the fishing aspect. The title for the page is going to be "He Caught Our Hearts" and it's going to be in white letters down at the bottom of the page. Delaina (one of the other Scrapjunkeez--the name of our craft show business) is going to cut the title for me on her Cricut to save a BUNCH of time. :) Sorry for the bad photo. The strip under the photo mat says NAME; DOB/TIME; WEIGHT/LENGTH. Thanks so much for looking!

Ava as Tinker Bell. :) I have some of the most gorgeous girls on the planet! :)

Gracie's Halloween costume photo shoot from today. :) What a cutie she is.

Finished Kitchen Pictures

These are AWFUL pictures, but here's the finished kitchen. The only thing I have left to do is make a matching valance like the one I have hanging over the sink for the little side door by the table. We are VERY happy with it and the pain in dealing with our house being torn up for two months was really worth it. We love the finished product. :)

PG Card For Bachelorette Party!

I have seen these all over SCS for probably a year or more and never really thought I would have any occasion to make one; however, last night's bachelorette party for my SIL (soon!) was the perfect opportunity. :) I kept it pretty simple since everything I do is simple, but I have seen some REALLY cute ones with lace, etc. added as well. This is just SU! Shimmer White cardstock embossed with my trusty Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder. I used Blush Blossom cardstock for the base. I punched an Elegant Eggplant flower out with the Boho Blossom punch, spritzed it with water, crumpled it, and rubbed it on the EE inkpad. A clear rhinestone finished it off. The attendees all loved it. :)

In LOVE with my new décor piece :)

We got it at Bed, Bath & Beyond while we were there looking for my BIL and soon-to-be SIL's registry items for their shower. If I had commissioned it for my kitchen, it could not be more perfect. I LOVE IT! :) I don't remember if I ever posted pictures of our finished kitchen on here. I will search and link it if so.
