Happy Birthday Faith!!

Today is my baby girl's 6th Birthday!! I woke her this morning singing Happy Birthday to you. Then Hannah started to stir (they sleep in the same room). And I said to her "just think 6 years ago you were sleeping in that crib". Where has the time gone?! I'm so proud of how far she has come. She is such a bright and thoughtful little girl. She does like to win at every game we play but we are working on that ;) She is very helpful and likes to cook with me. She loves playing soccer, Barbies, Littlest Pet Shop, and Horses. Happy Birthday Faith!!

Here she is at the age of 11 months. (I didn't get a digital camera till she was about 9 months)

Here she is today.

And here are the cupcakes we made for her class today. They are rainbow fish made with M&M's and fruit slices as the tail.

New Challenge and Some Jillibean Soup

Good Morning! I have had a busy week. My daughter Faith is having her first sleepover tonight. She is my first baby and she will be 6! Where has the time gone?! So tonight I will have 4 extra girls here. I'm sure it will be fun. We are doing pizza, cupcakes, and a movie. I went shopping ALL day yesterday with my mom. It was so fun!! We haven't done that in a long time. While I was out I had had a great idea for a challenge for the Sweet Peach Blog. My challenge is to make a card and send it. Did you ever get a card just because? How did it make you feel? Well, I'm sure someone would really appericate a "just because" card. So I made this one for my mom.

Here is my card: I just love the new Jillibean Soup and bought some as soon as it was available.

Products: Jillibean Blossom Soup, Jillibean Soup Minestrone, Jillibean Alphas, Jillibean Soup Twine, Basic Grey Buttons, Maya Road Heart

I used some new Glimmer Glaze on the heart.

Some Fun Photo Inspiration

Yesterday on the blog over at Sweet Peach I posted the new challenge for an Art Inspiration. And while I was searching I came across some fun other picture I wanted to share. Inspiration from picture can be used in so many ways. You can take the colors, the design, or just something in the picture that stands out to you.
Here is the one I posted over at Sweet Peach (I'm working on my layout).

Guest Designing at Citrus Tree

Happy Friday! I got to be the Guest Designer for Citrus Tree Studio for the month of February. Cindy doesn't tell you what your getting it's surprise when you open the box and I was so happy to see Pink Paislee's Sweetness line. I wanted this paper since i first saw it since I have a baby girl. I had so much fun working with it. Thanks for looking and thanks Cindy for having me.

This is a 11x14 canvas I made using the kit.

Our 4

Good Morning!! I have a nice quiet morning because 3 of my 4 are with their dad down on the faimly farm cooking scrapple. It is freezing rain so they are going to be soaked when they get home. But I tought I would get a post done while it was quite. I posted a new challenge over at Sweet Peach and hope you will go give it a try. My challenge was to make a quilt look on your layout. Here is my layout using the Feb. Sweet Kit. It is so pretty!

Use my Kits

Hello, Today I got out my bits and pieces that I have left from kits and pull out these 2 sketches from Liz over at The Scrappiest. She just celebrated 100 sketches. She creates sketches for Sweet Peach and they are always so fun.

So for this sketch I used a Sweet Peach kit.




And I used an old Scarlet Lime kit for this one:
