Mothers day...totes

Here is my newest creation....I purchased these cute totes at hobby lobby and wanted to make them like my purse I won awhile back. Of course I had to switch it up to my own design. I think they are so cute...They will fry at the end...trust me I know though it looks great when it does. Here are my hand made flowers that I added to them each. My mom and mother in law should enjoy them. Atleast I hope so! haha....
I have been quite busy lately so if I have not gone to your blog please do not take it personally. I will try and get by atleast once a week if not more. This month of May is going to be extremly busy for me. My brother and dad's birthday...My Anniversary is May 1st 18 years...wowzers...to the love of my life. Then we have Presten's prom, grad night, graduation from High School. So alot is happening along with all the baseball games. Let us not forget my huge bedroom/bathroom project. Over the summer I have to go through all Presten's stuff and switch up things as he is leaving for college but he will still have a place when he comes home on the weekends.
Okay...I am off....I am trying to learn how to coupon too. Laundry is stacking up...atleast they are clean. haha...just need to be put away.
Hugs and smiles....Tammy

Colten, flowers, cup and note...yep that is what I have for today.

My sweetie was Student of the Month at school today... yipee!!Look at these beautiful roses that Presten's girlfriend bought me for Easter.
My dad's birthday is coming up so I made his cup personalized.
Going green...I used my cricut and contact paper and permanent marker.
Simple but cute! (hey what do expect it is for a man) haha

Blurry picture...sorry but this is the cup I bought from Joann's for my dad's coffee.

We have a baseball game tonight....so I will be off.

I received a wonderful mini album from my friend Rhonda...she does the best mini's! Scraphappenswithrhonda.blogspot.com

Also my sweet friend Tee over at The altered paper sent me this awesome paper mache dress form. My mind is wandering as to how I am going to dress it up. So excited...she also sent me one of her famous tags....so pretty...Thank you ladies as always blog friends are just the

greatest!!!

Have a super fabulous day!!! Each one of you is special to me.

Hugs...Tammy

An Owl card....

My Owl card....Ribbon, ink,pearls,stamps,cardstock, layers, MS punch and EK punch.

I created a "stamped" card...from some lovely stamps that I received from Karen over at Feline Creative. These were soooooooooo much fun to work with as each stamp in the set is fabulous.

I used some punches on this....feels pretty Florida like.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. We sure did....I took pictures and now I will have to order them so I can use them in layouts.

We are tearing out our master bathroom...It is awful really....I already have a pretty good cut on my shin. So I will be trying to craft in the middle of games...graduation stuff...prom...bathroom and house cleaning...oh the taxi part....cooking...okay life is busy.

So if I don't come by as often please do not take it seriously as I am going to be pretty busy bare with me.

Hugs...and smiles too...Tammy

Happy Easter

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

May you have a wonderful day.

We will be at church in the morning...the reason for the celebration.

Then home for family time...egg hunt and some yummy food.

Oh and I have a marvelous Mustang here...My little guy Colten received student of the month. Woot! Woot! He was awarded this also last year. He is such a blessing and such a sweet...adorable little pumpkin. He is my baby even at 8 years old.

I am sure blessed with my boys and my hubby too!

I will be back to crafting next week...

Must see cute new digi image my friends daughter made...

Such a wonderful day today is....Good Friday....they day he was put on the cross to die for our sins. May we take a moment to thank him for all that he has done for us. God bless you today and always....

My good friend Lisa's daughter Beth made this adorable image (which I will call Flower Power Boogie Bus~ for now until she names it) Which is kinda fun because she is doing a giveaway for anyone that has the perfect name for her digi. The post with the rules for naming,buying or finding out about her images is over at Mess2Magic blog. It would be cute to have the license plate with (FLWRPWR)on it...I made this box...though I had no transparency paper I used shiney gold vellum. Made a slider tag with the use of My nesties and colored in the image with my markers and pencils. Stickles made the eye whites shine. Such a cute image....

Then I cut the word Easter from my cricut. Here is the Bunny goodies that I filled it with. This will be going to my parents as part of their Easter present. Hope you have a wonderful day! Hugs...and smiles...Tammy

Jaxten and his new shirt......

Here is Jaxten.......He was swimming today very brave in the cold water (which he thought was perfect)and having a great time...then I hit him up to try on his shirt I made using my cricut. His school is the cougars so I found this paw print and layered it.

I still have to sew around it....The name was harder to cut with the cricut...used scissors to assist in the cut. It was a different to make but turned out pretty cute. His school color is the maroon. So now he has a spirit day shirt! Let me know what you think... I used heat bond for the (iron on part). Tonight is our county scholarship night...Presten is getting awarded one. Colten has his game with daddy too. Then the boys are off tomorrow....coloring eggs day and baking. Saturday is my neices baby shower and then I have to get all the stuff for Easter dinner. Then of course is the Special day.....Easter.

I will be back with some more creations before then. Have a super day!!! I'm going blueberry picking this morning with my mother-in-law. Yummy and fun!

Smiles...Tammy

Its another Easter candy box

My candy box....Trying something new again. This was a fun box to create using my cricut...tags bags and boxes cartridge. I recycled some plastic again....so you could see the contents. I filled it with chocolate bunnies and Dove candies. This one is for my hubby...i think he will love it and say yum. I used my stamps to make the sentiment...it turned out so cute. Also used my nesties and dots folder for the cuttlebug for embossing. I hope you like...it is a slider to hold the box together. smiles...Tammy Have a super day!

Some new creations...and a goodie I received from a swap.

Here is an Easter creation that I made with my Tag's bags and boxes cartridge.

I recycled some plastic for the windows...i have never used the window element before.

I also used a brad to put the flower together...Stamped Happy Easter on a tag that I used a Fiskar punch to cut. Then filled them with Dove candies...They turned out pretty cute.

Entering this over at Crafting Misfit...blog hop challenge. These four are for my boys...i used my pinking shears to make the tags fancier.

Presten's prom is coming up at the end of this month...so I made his girlfriend her corsage

and his boutonniere to match her dress....

It turned out so lovely...I even was able to use some of my wild orchid flowers and a feather ribbon. I have to say...I am definately pleased with the end results.

It is nice that the girl has a keepsake as well as the boy.The purple is so pretty. I will post pictures after the prom to show you them all dolled up. Look at my lovely matchbox that I received from "Things with wings" swap. Thank you Lesley...It is beautiful from the inside goodies to the outside of the box. So glad to have participated in such a great swap.

I will be having a huge house cleaning project so I will be posting in advance some creations I have whipped up for Easter. So if you need me please just pop an email to me found on my sidebar.

Take Time to smell the roses...

I received some wonderful blog candy from my friend Karen over at Feline creative...including a wonderful Magnolia Ink magazine...My first one ever...inside it gave directions to make this wonderful box...such a great box it is indeed. I've used lots of stuff to doll it up...as you can see. My image is Elizabeth Bell ~Belle's & Whistles" stamp.

Flowers are from Wild Orchids....I love how it turned out....for it was my first attempt of the box. I used cardstock as the base and then covered it with my papers and ink. Let me know what you think.Busy today...but wanted to make a creation in between cleaning.Have a terrific Monday!!We are having FCAT testing this week for two of my boys.Next week my youngest has his SAT testing.Baseball is back in session too. A couple of games this week and practice.Getting ready for Prom and graduation.Smiles...always,Tammy Also 10 followers away for my giveaway.....yipee!I also want to do a shout out for my Basket blog hop that I will be taking part of Friday and Saturday....Sure hope you are able to pop over and say "Hi"...a little giveaway.Also a chance for you to see other girls and their awesome creations...with some goodies along the way.

My treasures from today....

Here is a wonderful find that I popped across this morning. Me and my hubby we running a few errands and did breakfast...afterwards we popped by a couple yard sales in the next county over...and I found this huge 1980 Sears catalog. It is in mint condition...The gentleman was asking $5 and I asked if he would go $3 and he said yes....Woot...hoo! Now this ia an awesome find...it works perfectly!!!!! Looks awesome too!!! I had one of these when I was young....so it brings back such great memories. Another find...these last two are from Goodwill....Can you believe they were only $10 a piece. Perfect working toys...I am sooooooooo excited that I found such pristine antique toys. This Fisher Price toy actually ticks as it moves....tickled pink!!! No creations today....My oldest has been out with his girlfiend all day...and my hubby took the other boys to hunting camp. So nice and quiet night at home. Watching a movie while browsing the internet tonight. Hope you all have a super blessed Sunday!!! Smiles...always, Tammy

I've linked up to Linda's Coastal Charm party...

Crafters companion envelope box entry....

Here is another creation for Crafters companion challenge this month...Which is to use flowers and any crafter's companion products....in my case...I used my Crafters companion Ultimate...which I love...love love....I made the 4 inch envelope box. It is so easy peasy with that wonderful tool. My first picture is unfortunately blurry...May try and get another picture tomorrow outside. I also used crafters companions...cute companions "playtime summer stories". I am in need of new stamps from them...as I do love them all. I cut out balloon seperately on pattern papers...then the ducks seperately with different color box ink.

The sun made a ring around the image....camera day was bad today... I made a seal...

You can see how it is a envelope box....instead of just an envelope.

Have a wonderful weekend.....

Smiles...always, Tammy

May God bless you today and always!!!

A birthday card....I am so happy to be featured over at Crafter companion.

Here is my latest birthday card I made yesterday. I am so behind on making cards.

My stash has widdled down to nothing. So trying to get them made for this month's birthdays and next months. I finished the inside too. I am using an old hymnol book. Cuts from my cricut to make the frame part...lots of ink and layers... added a bow and sentiment. Really pleased with the end result. Okay....so close with the followers giveaway...so please go to right sidebar if you haven't already and sign up. Would like to get this sent off soon. Smiles.... Also....I would like for you to go check out http://crafterscompanion-challenge.blogspot.com/ They are featuring me....and my cone project. If you can pop by and share the love. If you have anything from crafters companion you can join in the challenge and win an awesome prize. What a great week it has been....I watched my youngest reel in a bass fish from our lake....wish I had my camera. It was precious. My oldest gave me good news that because he is Salutatorian of his class we have unlimited amount of tickets for graduation. So lots of family can go...Yipee! Austen is at Fort Desoto Beach on a class field trip for the good and smart kids. Hope he wears his sunblock as he is fair fair fair skinned. Jaxten is doing great...all but my little mistake on his hair cut. I've been cutting their hair since they were born...and well every clip was dropping and the brother was distracting...so needless to say when I grabbed the clipper I thought it had on its attachment and it did not...so he got a little quarter size bald spot. I know....awful I felt...I paid him money....can you just see the shame. It does not show so bad because I left the top layers longer until it grows in. Bad mommy....bad mommy... He still has the girls liking him though. okay making my self feel better. Have a super weekend. Hugs...and smiles...Tammy

Anniversary card for my hubby...

Here is my anniversary card for my hubby....Our anniversary is May 1st...we will be married 18 years.... I used my first mini magnolia stamp on this card.....It is really cute!

I used crackle paint....on the frame...I used prima flower...lace....MS punch...layers...Tim Holtz Bless ticket from Carri over at Doubleclick connections...
