Distressing #149

Well, once again it Thusday which means it's time for Mo's...This week we decided to use distressing as our theme, now how easy is that... So I took out my trusty little blade and distressed the edges of all the sides of my papers and make this adorable little journal book for my little nephew James to start off the school year just right.  But knowing my niece, I think she'll put it away for him.

I started my project off with one of those $1 books I found at Michaels but alas it was my last one.  But well worth it for James as he is such a sweetheart.  Hopefully they will get some more in as I love making these books and still need to make one for myself.    I used Super Duper Boy which you can find in both the Old Store HERE and the New Store HERE.

Welcome Baby Joseph

Well,  it's the first  Thursday of the month and you know what that means, it's "Anything Goes at Mo's"  So the skies the limit as far as your creativity goes.  Just remember to use one of Mo's adorable images and you're good to go... This time however, I couldn't decide which one to use, so I decided to use two different ones.  One for the tag, and one for the card.  For the tag I used Baby and Bunny which you can find in both the new store and the old store HERE and HERE and for my pyramid card I used this adorable little set of sailor boys which comes in a set HERE.        

As you all know, I've been kniting away and making tons of baby blankets, but this one is special since this one is for my niece who just had her second baby.  A baby boy who came to us a little earlier than expected so welcome Joseph Nicholas.

Well I can''t believe my son  turned 22 on Tuesday, where did the time go.. That's why I tell young mom's not to rush things because the time goes by so quickly so cherish each and every moment.

Add Yes the cake was Delish!!! Chocolate Moose filling to die for and the top was crushed cookies

and yes my son said the only reason I got the cake was because it was my favorite flower

Well, that was part of it, but the Chocolate Moose had a lot more  to do with it too...lol

Well anyway, I decided to  merge images again and use Girl with Sign that you can find HERE and this adoragle Sailor Dog which is part of a GORGEOUS Sailor Boy set HERE to wish my son a Happy Birthday and put lots of hugs and kisses inside the card just like he did when he was small in all my cards...remember all those X's and O's

Dancing Singing #143

It's Thursday so you know what that means, It's time for Mo's and this week our theme is singing and dancing..  Now you can interpret this any way you want just remember to use any of Mo's adorable images and you're good to go.  But for me  living in New York and having Broadway at my back door so many things came to mind,  But in the end, I decided to use "Did you Hear" since this image reminds me of "Little Orphan Annie" singing to her dog and you can find this adorable image right HERE  and  HERE  So this is my interpretation of this weeks theme singing and dancing.

Oh and before I forget  there is a GDT call over at Mo's so if you want to be a Guest Designer for a 3 month gig, just put GDT after your name when you post and head on over to Mo's to get all the detail's.

And yes, I will be Broadway bound again with my son to see "War Horse" at Lincoln Center not sure when, but I will be getting tickets in the near future.  I can't wait to spend a day in the city with him.   We are also planning on just standing on the Ticket Line in Times Square where all the shows hand in there tickets for the day  and seeing what ever show they have extras for.  That should be fun...  Anyway...

I hope I inspired someone to join in on the fun, I can't wait to see what you come up with, just don't for get to use one of Mo's images. If you need more inspiration don't forget to visit the rest of the teams blogs they really out did themselves and came up with some great ideas just click HERE to see what they came up with and as Pat always says, don't forget to leave them a little love.
