First YES I know it is crooked and Second I don't care right now! LOL! I don't like working with vinyl as much as paper. I much prefer paper to vinyl for its rigidity and stability! Here is what I came up with for the kitchen wall. I have the living room and our bedroom to go but another day!

I used Opposites attract for "the" and "of". Kitchen, IS and Home are welded from Lyrical Letters on Jumbo setting. The big heart is from George. The heart and house are from Don Juan. What do you think?

Mickey Mouse for the Princess

The blank wall before we decorated!

Closeup of Mickey. His shoes and face are paper the rest is vinyl.

Her dress and face are paper the rest is vinyl.

Happy Labor Day!

HAPPY LABOR DAY!

ScrapSketch Friday Challenge

Since I am not due to design these yet, I wanted to participate anyways!

Here is the link to the sketch: http://www.scrapsketch.com/2009/09/friday-scrapsketch-challenge.html

And here is my version! I love love love these pictures of Caitlyn. She is only 16 months or so but looks like she is three! She definitely is posing but she is simply a cutie pie! Look at those eyes! I used green pearlescent paper for the background, then three patterned papers from a new stack I got on CLEARANCE for 3.00! WOOHOO! Two ribbons, a prima flower dyed using Tim Holtz peeled paint distress ink, thickers for the title, and some random hearts and flowers, a label maker for the main journaling and two Tim Holtz/making memories tickets. There you go. What do you think?

Check out this new challenge site!!!

So this site seems to be a great one. It will have various challenges every WEDNESDAY! I think that is so neat. It is run by I assume two Cricut Girls. They seem hilarious and already have rocking sponsors! Go take a look!:

Practical Scrappers Stamp challenge

The picture is rough to see but everything is stamped except for the journaling and date. I used several different sets with stazon ink and chalk inks. I am not a great stamper but I like the way this turned out. I also used Tim Holtz distress inks to pink up the white bling coordenations cardstock.
