May I present.... Katniss Everdeen

This past weekend was the annual Pumpkins in the Park. A great trick or treat adventure to support Cerebral Palsy. We have a great time every year and its safe for the kids.
So I was faced with he difficult task of turning my 7 year old into Katniss Everdeen. Well I searched for hours online with no luck. So I decided to tak matters into my own hands. I honestly used things my daughter had for clothing. The only thing I bought was a $6 bow and arrow set(which I spray painted silver), a $10 district 12 bag, and a $2 district 12 patch. About the same price as a regular costume!
She was afraid that no one would know who she was but everyone did!!
Lets not forget the amazing hairstyle from her aunt Dawn. She rocked it!! Beside her is my handsome nephew! Happy Halloween!

Bird House IPhone dock

I have been looking all over the place for interesting docks for my iPhone that won't break the bank. So searching through etsy there were some amazing ideas but all a little too pricey. Then it hit me. I have a birdhouse with a porch that has been sitting unaltered for over a year in my room. So I altered it and ended up with this beauty.
I used all Tim Holtz distress inks. Crackle paint on the fence, ink on the paper, stain on the bottom and more ink on the paper. The pearls are blue it from Basic Grey and the paper is MME lost and found. I have used this every day for the past month and have had no issues. Thanks for looking!!!

Manic Monday Card Sketch #1

Because we all need things to inspire us I have decided to do monday card challenges at my message board. http://lifepclub.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=idx. I will post a sketch every week for every one and hopefully we can all be inspired to make some cards with them. This is my first sketch ever and I think it came out pretty good. Stay tuned for more to come. Hope you enjoy!

Eclipse midnight showing 2010

On Thursday I had my sisters over for a scrap day. We had an amazing time with over 8 hours of cropping. I sadly only finished two pages. One I am in love with the other not so much. I then got into the discussion with my sister about how I feel about my pages. Its funny to me because I have found that out of about every 10 I create I really only like 1 or 2. Maybe its normal and that we all feel that way about our own work. I hope so if not my good to bad ratio is seriously off! Well here is a pic of the one layout I was pleased with.

Its from the premiere of Eclipse last year that I went to with my sisters. I still have to add the tickets from the event but I can not place where I put them at the moment. Our local theater played Twilight and New Moon before The Midnight showing of Eclipse. We are hoping they will do it again this year.I have never spent 8 hours in a theater before but it was SO much fun. The bottom picture is blurred for posting reasons.

I used DCWV The Immortal Love. This is such a beautiful Stack. The possibilities are endless. I used only that paper from and The small red flowers are bridal confetti that I layered and added to die cuts. TFL!
