Have you seen the latest issue of Ready, Set, Create?

if not - here's my contribution - and if you want to see more get over there and get yourself a subscription! so many amazing ideas and talent just ooozing off the pages!!

there's more - but I won't bore you any longer! thanks for looking this far!

a lot of these were made with digital kits that either I printed at home, or Jen from RSC printed and sent to me - so don't be afraid of digital - just go hybrid!

the difference between a girl and a boy.

a girl will stop and pose for the camera with a pretty smile (even if my camera gets a grainy pic that will later make me mad).

a boy will not. ever. at all.

and for some strange reason my camera focuses on this. it likes his inability to cooperate with me.

when you send a 6 1/2 year old to clean her room...

...this is what you'll find instead...

Question with a giveaway!

so I made some more cards for Jen at Ready, Set, Create. They are highlighting a font sponsor and are SO fun. I really enjoyed working with fonts for the upcoming issue.

my question - what are some things you'd like to see in the magazine? a specific article? a theme highlighted with layout and card samples? tell me!


give me your input and I'll put you in a drawing for a 3 month subscription to RSC. and don't worry if you already have a sub - I'll have Jen add on 3 extra months for you!!!

you have until July 31st to give me all your great ideas!!!!

Time to share the SEI DILL BLOSSOM stuff! Enjoy!!!

thanks for looking!!!

Happy Birthday to my sister!!!!

My sister, Briana, is 27 today! I love her to death and miss her dearly! She lives in Florida with her husband, Parker. We're lucky enough to meet up in Seattle at dad's once a year - but it's not enough!

Happy birthday, Beej - we love you!!!

Giving you a peek a day early!

Deja Views - Little Yellow Bicycle - Sharon Ann Designs.

whatever you call it - I love it! We were lucky enough to get them as a fab sponsor at the playground this month and even though at first I was scared of the pastels, I had fun! Here's what I created!!!!

okay - so that last one isn't all that great - but I made a mask, and a flower - so it was doing new things - just go with it. lol

thanks for peeking! check back tomorrow for the OTHER fab sponsor this month!!!

July 4th - in pictures!

No fireworks. Just my kids. And Darren. I did get pictures of my mom but had to promise not to show them (she better do the same for me when emailing HER pictures to family!!!)

it was a normal HOT, HUMID day in Broken Arrow, so you'll see that when looking at my kiddos!

bECOming green!

some of you know that I won the becoming green collection from Tinkering Ink. well it arrived in my mailbox yesterday and I just have to say WOW! first of all, it's double sided. second, the colors are YUMMY! third, it's KRAFT!!!!!!!! fourth, the patterns. fifth, it's soft...really, it has such a great feel!

thank you TINKERING INK for the great paper - I just love it!!!!
