I LOVED this week's color combo, it's so clean & manly to me.

Products Used: all cardstock, stamp set, white flowers-Stampin Up; ink & brads-CTMH: medallion brad-Making Memories, ribbon-misc

Let's see what you create with this week's color combo:

Specialty Challenge Time

Don't cry over spilled cookies

This week Picture Perfect Creations has a special challenge for you.... Use 2 Ribbons & 3 Buttons on your project, nothing could be easier :-)

I took this opportunity to give this adorable Chinese take-out container & fortune cookies a whirl:

You can find the Artist, Karen Hanson, from Crop Chocolate on The Crop complete with a printable pattern and video instructions, how sweet is that?!

I took liberties with the "ribbon" and used two colors of twine instead, my twine is from The Twinery.  Paper is Echo Park's For The Record (a favorite of mine!) and funky flowers/buttons are from Sassafras, cute large brads used on side of container are from Making Memories... all of which I purchased from Crop Chocolate.

Don't forget to upload your project & go check-out all the Design Team members creations at Picture Perfect Creation!

Family

In-Laws....

some hate em, some love em, some put up with them on holidays, and some see them everyday... Gotta confess here, I love mine and I'm so lucky to have the in-laws that I have!

 This was taken years ago before we got married, I was included because I think I had just worn them all down by this point & they knew there was no getting rid of me :-)  It was my (future at that time) in-law's 40th anniversary and this is what they wanted for a gift, their 4 boys.

I got the pick of the litter!

Products Used: black cardstock-CTMH: other cardstock-Stampin Up; "Family" plaque & felt-no clue; bling -Making Memories; tape-Tim Holtz;edge punch-Martha Stewart; black photo hangers-CTMH.  Hand made flowers from me :-)

Here's your color combo, go get crafty!

BikesBluesBBQ 2010

To Fayetteville, Arkansas there is nothing quite like Bikes Blues & BBQ which happens every fall.

During the 2010 BBB we had special guests arrive... my Dad Jim's best friend from California Bob & his wife Judy, of course my step-mom Jan came as well.

We did get to do much riding, just from our house to Dickson Street, Bob's back was acting up so he drove the car & met us there.  We road the train from Dickson street down to where some of the alternate attractions were set up (helicopter rides, stunt riders, vendor booths, etc)

Products Used: All cardstock-Stampin Up; printed paper-CTMH; white puffy paint-Polymark; all die cuts using Cricut with Gypsy (various cartridges); ink-CTMH; alpha stamp set-Making Memories magnetic

Here's this week's color combo for you:

UnOfficial Crop Chocolate Blog Hop!!

Hippity Hoppity.... Our Blog Hop starts with rosaliejb


I have created something not just for you to see but for my niece to send out.. Thank you cards!  We made 60 of them but most of them were different, these were my favorites

********************************************

A little project Autumn had brought with her was a carryall to decorate.  Someone had given her the glitter glue (slowest drying stuff ever created) along with some head-set gems.  She wanted me to do the honors but I made her give me a hand.  I don't really care for how it turned out so I'm going to add a bit more fabric paint... this kind doesn't really do much for me, time for a trip to the craft store!

All About Me

I have been happily made into a Crop Chocolate Design Team Member.. aka a Chocolatier which has been reduced from 60+ people down to 10 and they picked me :-)  Can't tell you how happy I am!  My first challenge to become a Chocolatier was to make an All About Me project:

All those thing in my thought bubble, yep... favorites!  I excluded family & friends because well, it IS only a 12x12 page.  What do I think about:

Gosh so much in there... my pink purse, beer, work, my first ATC about camping & 4wheeling, flowers, comfy jeans, cool wheels and my Jeep - that's it, that's me in a nutshell!

There is also a Video on my "spraying technique" (B.O.R.I.N.G.) but if you wanna watch a really short video by a somewhat Southern girl, knock yourself out!  Here's my link at Crop Chocolate's blog.... The Crop! Oh and my CC user name is JeepMama, I know real original but "boring lady that drives a Jeep" was a tad bit lengthy ;-)  Enjoy!

Anywhere

Today it was overcast at my house :-( which means my photos look funny, I really & truely did use the right colors but they just don't look it. Here's my creation:

This is the Marvel Cave at Silver Dollar City with my fam. And I had to add black to the color combo to work with my photos this week.

Gypsy font for "Anywhere", Basic Grey ambrosia for printed paper, background grey paper & other lettering
