Today's with Denine - ramblings and pictures

Happy Friday Everyone,

Have you been watching the manufacture blogs and all their wonderful products that are ready for your creative minds or are coming out soon?






























I am really excited for the holiday design lines to be available.

Pumpkin and I are spending the weekend (and probably next as well) cleaning the craft room/warehouse.  It has become a mess with all the frantic order fills I was getting done after getting back from India.







So glad to be home, nothing like your own shower and bed, but wow... so much catch up to do with both the store and my accounting clients.  Not to mention the poor house.... I is feeling really neglected. 

Hubby worked from home this week, which is AWESOME.... so excited to have him home for family time with Pumpkin and I.  Anyhow, so far, we had a kitchen sink malfunction which required taking all the pipes apart and cleaning them (yes, I am a handy-woman too).  The fence needs repaired, so we have 12 boards coming and then need to paint... and the master bedroom toilet is having issues so I need to replace the inner parts on that this weekend too....

Here are some pictures from India... I forgot the camera most of the time.. shame on me.

The picture on the right is the airport in our destination city... hehehe  The plane we took seated a total of about 24 people my hubby said.  I was to nervous to look around and see.



 This is Pumpkin with her cousins and her dad... chilling.  The played alot of Angry Birds.  lol
Pumpkin showed her cousin Tubby how to 'do arts and crafts' with an awesome vinyl cling set I got for the trip, by Melissa and Doug I think.



Well that is enough rambling for the day... I will be back to Inspirational projects next week.

Remember to enter the challenge, you have a few hours left. 

Happy Crafting and Happy Weekend!!

Hugs,
Denine

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Missy ~ Layout

Good morning everyone!

Today I have a scrapbook layout I made documenting my little boy's first haircut to show you. I used the fun My Mind's Eye Hip Hooray (Boy) paper collection and my Silhouette Cameo. 



This is actually a two page layout.  One of the pages is the "main" page, with the title and journaling, and the other page contains a collage of photos.  Here are a couple of close ups of the title & some of the fun barber shop images!!  I used some Honey Dotted Swiss paper by Bazzill on the title for some texture.



Here are some close ups of the barber shop images, I just love how they turned out!


Here's a picture of both sides of the layout together.  I don't have any of my photos on it yet (they haven't been printed) but this kind of gives you an idea of what the whole thing will look like when it's done!


Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my layout!  I hope you have a great day!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with June - card


  Hi!  I am June Houck with a little Shop Pumpkin Spice inspiration for you today.

  I think this Echo Park "Victoria Gardens" was my first purchase from the Shop Pumpkin Spice store.  The i-rock tool and gems were a later purchase, and one package is a lifetime supply...definitely one of my favorite tools and embellies.

  Most of my Echo Park collections are now very thin.  They are my go-to collections when I need inspiration.  Sometimes the paper inspires me, but often it is a sticker element that catches my eye.  Today it was the latter;  I chose the rose sticker, placed it on a scrap of card stock, and fussy cut it.  Then I perused the papers to coordinate.  The sentiment is cut from the "Journaling Cards" sheet, and the other two papers are "Rose" and "Sunshine."  I lightly inked the edges with a black ink pad for a definition.

  I am a slow crafter, but for once I actually made this card in about 30 minutes!  Woot woot :)  I made this card for my mom, who has been a huge help to me; especially this past year with the move to our current home.  She has helped me transform the house into my dream home.  There are still several home improvements to make, but the progress we've made in the past 14 months is amazing.  Thanks, Mom!

Happy Tuesday!  June
