Hello!!!

Hi friends!
Hope everyone is enjoying the weather and the last weeks of school are here.Our kids are still in school all the way until June25th-can you believe it? Too long I think..I wish I had more time with my kiddos during summer break. sigh...And let me tell you-they are soooo ready to be done! And I am working everyday up until the last day--at the High School.

Big news at Bad Girls--they have totally changed the look of the site and the direction of the kits. Wendy has had to scale back a bit, her family was suffering for it and that just can't happen. Her kids need her and she wanted some freedom to spend time with them. She is such a wonderful Mom-I applaud her for taking a step back and making these changes despite the success of her kit club. I added a new gadget at the right-a new Bad Girls blinkie! Click on it and it will take you directly to the new site. It's gorgeous! And the kits are different too. They are chock full of scrap goodness and vintage finds. Her kits are going to be totally different than what you would find in an average kit. There will be elements in the kits that are from Antique shops, art mediums to play with and more! I am really excited to see what is in store for Bad Girls in the coming months!

I have been very busy creating some LO's but I can't share them yet--wish I could!
So-in the meatime, I'll share some oldies but goodies. This is a minibook I taught last summer using October Afternoon goodies....And a clear album from TI.
I just love their papers and embellishments! We had a lot of fun during the class too!
I am ready to make another with their new lines...

Thats all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by...I will be back soon!

I promise!

Has it been that long???

Since I've posted here?? The past couple of weeks are a blur...

I have been working a ton, Jack was sick, one of my very best friends moved back here from Portland and I have been under the weather (I think I got what Jack had).

And we are headed to the lake for four days this weekend...

Here are some of the latest projects I've made.

I did a stamping challenge over at Bad Girls for NSD--I loved getting my stamps out since I rarely use them. I need to get them out more often! The photo of the layout is a bit wonky for some reason...hmm not sure why. I stamped a border, the title, and added extra images here and there. And I used glimmer mist of course-I am so addicted to the stuff!

And I recently made this LO using Prima stitched paper and a photo of myself when I was two.

Woah--lots of flowers here--couldn't stop myself! hehe

And I made this little house for Project 52...it's a night light! I placed an LED tea light inside to light it up-very safe since they don't get warm at all!
The little kit is from Crafty Secrets--adorable! And I used 7 Gypsies papers to decorate it.
Very simple and it matches my decor perfectly!

OK-thats all for today! I gotta go get the the kiddos up for school!

Have a great day!

BG May Layouts....

Hello friends!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! And a fabulous time for NSD...I was able to get some projects done/started. The kids were busy playing outside all weekend and my house is a disaster! It's cleaning day today...sigh...I need to motivate myself to clean the bathrooms-is that possible? LOL!

Here is the Bad Girls May Kit-Postcards from Paris....

This kit is amazing! Tons of 7 Gypsies goodness with Prima and Hambly mixed in. So lush!

And this is my favorite add-on- French Relics....love it!

Here are my layouts for the month using the kit--I had so much fun! The other designers on the team out did themselves! Make sure you take a peek at their work if you get the chance....so inspiring!

I'll be back with some Prima projects I've been working on...

See you soon!

xoxo Cari
