Well it has finally happened! I am a grandma!  He is adorable. Collin was born November 1st. Here are a couple of pictures of him. I haven't gotten to see him in person yet because of the circumstances of his birth and that his parents, my son and his former girlfriend, aren't together but hopefully soon I will get to spend time with him.



Thought I would share my new little man in my life.

Enjoy!

I haven't been  doing much lately, but working on a SS Christmas Swap on the Cricut message board. I have been a little hesitant to add pictures in case my SS is a follower or decides to look at my blog, but since she doesn't know who her SS giver is, it should be ok.

Here are a few pictures of the items I am sending my SS. I sure hope she likes them. I really like a few of them myself.

These pictures are of a Domino book that I created for the song Jingle Bells. It turned out so much nicer that I expected but boy did I have some problems getting it to a finished product.




First these inside pictures I cut down too much on the first try so I had to re-print them and try again. Then I decided to add a picture of bells.  Well then when I got it all together I glued the back domino on wrong! So I had to start all over and do EVERYTHING again.



Even with all the grief I had on this domino project, it was worth it! It turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined.


There are a couple of  ATC cards in the group above and I love how those came out. For Angels We Have Heard On High I took my green ink pad and dabbed it all over the front and back of a chipboard card I cut. I then stamped and angel on overhead transparency paper. Once the angel was dry I used ink pens to color on the back side of the transparency and then cut it out. I then shrunk down the music to the hymn and put it on there sideways. I ten glued the angel on and then Mod Podged the card. I then took some sticky drywall tape that looks weaved and I put it on my stamp block and inked it in pink and then stamped it really lightly a couple of place=s and then Mod Podged it again. I finished it with a Gold star. It's hard to see from this picture but it turned out great!

Hope you enjoy!
