Packing Day

I'm not looking forward to today for a lot of reasons: packers here to pack, one day closer to moving away from close friends, and time I will not be able to craft. Well not exactly...I am keeping my Cricut Expressions behind with a bunch of crafting stuff so I hope to get some work in while I sit here.

I'm sending hubby and two kids to our new home in Austin, Texas while I stay behind with the youngest child to have the house fixed up to rent it out. It should be quiet for about a week except for my youngest son telling me he bored all the time since his toys and the TV have gone on ahead.

So here's to keeping my fingers crossed that the house will be still enough that I can craft my days away while having people come in and fix it up.

Have a great Monday and hugs from Jearise in Lorby's World.

Krazy Crafting Crew Summer Blog Hop - Day 2

Welcome back for Day 2 of our Krazy Crafting Crew Summer Blog Hop. We hope you found lots of ideas and inspiration yesterday and will continue to find even more today.

If you just came from Robin's Blog you are on the right track. If you found this hop and want to go to the beginning to make sure you don't miss any inspiration, please go to So Many Crafts, So Little Time

We also have two sponsors this month:



 and Anita and Bugs.












Here is my Day 2 project...

Along with summer comes summer vacations and family road trips so I decided to do a layout for a family trip. I love the paper which was on clearance and is On Cloud 9. I'm not for sure about who the stickers are from but I bought them at Tuesday Morning's.

I wanted an out door kind of feel because when you're traveling you're on the road again. I used jute instead of twine and neutral colored buttons on my layout. The jute came from My Life in Arts and Crafts' Etsy Store.

There's a little hidden pocket with a tag for writing of your special road trip and I used more jute for the end of the tag.

Thanks for stopping by and now continue on to Lisa's Blog.

Here is my Day 1 project...

I used a stamp for the birdhouses and I used my pro-markers for coloring them. I am in love with pro-markers and have been having a blast coloring with them.  There is glitter in the middle of each little flower and brown glitter on the bodies of the butterflies but you can't see it in either picture. I always have to add my glittery bling.

Birdhouses and butterflies are a beautiful part of summer to me so it was an easy choice to do this card.

Thanks for stopping by and now continue on to Lisa's Blog.

Happy 4th

Any big plans for today? The 4th is all about BBQ'a, friends, family, and firewords (unless you're in a drought stricken state).

I think the 4th is about the Red, White, and Blue and putting those colors in your decorations. I put those colors to work in this cute simple garland I made.

I had some of those pre-cute bodies that you buy in the kid's section at Michael's or Joann's Fabric and Crafts so I thought I would have some fun with them. I used my Cricut and Paper Doll Dress up cartridge to make the dresses and boy's clothes. The sparklers came from the cartridge Stand and Salute. I used Peachy Keen Stamps for the cute faces. They look like they are ready for the parade to go marching by.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July from Jearise in Lorby's World

June Sketch Blog Hop - Day 2

Please click for the 2nd Annual For the Love of Pink Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sketch Blog Hop. Everyone has had so much fun doing these it's turned into a regular event! 

The purpose of this hop is to show how all of these talented bloggers can take the same sketch and come up with totally different cards. If you've never used a card sketch before, give it a try! You should have arrived from Jamie's Blog. and if you just happened along the hop, you can go back to the start at www.craftycardgallery.blogspot.com 

This was the sketch we were asked to modal our cards after.

 

I made this card for a very special young man who is celebrating his 1st birthday today. I squirrel and the "Happy Birthday little guy" sentiment are from the Cicut Birthday Bash cartridge. I used my cuddlebug and one of the embossing files from Mini Monsters to emboss the green paper with candy designs. I have fallen in love with basic quilling so I added some embellishments I quilled. I used brown ink for the squirrel's tail and a touch of glitter for the top of the hat.

Thank you so much for hopping today and please continue on to Tonia's Blog

2nd Annuual "For the Love of Pink" Blog Hop

Please click for the June Sketch Blog Hop

Welcome to the 2nd annual "For the Love of Pink" blog hop being hosted by Gill. This hop theme was such a success last year that she though she would bring it back again this year. I have to say pink is a fun color to work with.

I added some glitter Mod Podge to the cupcake after I stamped and colored it. I have a thing for glitter. I just bought a new punch that is a circle design and you can tell I had fun using that and I even found pink ribbon with circles to bring everything together.

Thanks for hopping by and your next stop is Zenita's blog: Scrappin with Z.
