Custom Clipboard

I had my first custom order today. It was really exicting creating something for a customer but it was also kind of nerve racking because I wanted it to be perfect. I made this clipboard for Kelli and she makes some really cute bows. Check out her little boutique here... She was such a sweetheart and really fun to work with!

I kind of went crazy with the blue and orange. Come to think of it I've been using a lot of blue lately!! lol

Have a wonderful night everyone!!

I FINALLY Painted!

We finally got around to painting! I am so exicted! I no longer have boring ole' white walls. I have vibrant Merlot and Sweet Annie from Lowes. We are not finished with the trim, touch ups, and hallway yet but we're futher along than we were and I'm very happy! :) I love the earth tones!

Creations by Candace

I had a blast today scrapping over at Cathy's! Between the 2 of us we made almost 40 cards! I am loving the prisma glitter. It's really fine and just pretty. Oh... Can anyone fill me in on what skittles are? I've been seeing a lot of talk about it on the boards but I am still clueless to what it is..:)

Have a great evening!

Card Frenzy

I made these chipboard letters using my new cuttlebug! Oh man do I love it!!

This picture does not give this card justice! I need a new camera. The colors are so vibrant in real life. Any suggestions on cameras that won't break my bank account?!!>?
I have fallen for the owl and bird craze!! Man o man are they just sooo cute and addicting..

This is the card I made for my dad for Father's Day. Are you guys making Father's day cards this year?

Seems like all I want to do lately is MAKE CARDS! My dad's new girlfriend introduced me to stampin up and I have fallen in love ALL STAMPS! :) She has stamps out the wazoo (as she says) lol and I just love them! I also love to get ideas from different magazines. Esp. Paper crafts and Stamp It. They are my favorite right now! What are your favorite magazines?? I'd love to know!



My little etsy shop is easing along but it's way more work that I ever thought it would be. I'm not trying to make myself rich. And I'm NOT BTW! But... I love doing it and I enjoy it so that's all that counts! I placed an order with www.ACMOORE.com last night for new dies and embossing folders. BTW They have a HUGE Sale and you get $6 Flat Rate Shipping! I hope it arrives soon. I love getting new toys!


It's late and I better sign off! Have a great night! :)

My sister in law made this cake for Angela. They didnt find out what the baby is so the cake has blue and pink.

Sandy my other SIL made this diaper cake. Yes I have a lot of sister in laws! Clint has 3 sisters and 5 brothers! One is a twin. :) LOL anyways...Sandy used her cricut and I think it looks awesome! She is so talented at everything she does and I keep telling her she needs to open an etsy shop!

VBS Crafts

We had VBS this week at church and I've been eXtremly busy. Not only have I taught each night I had a house Full of girls each day and night! :) Here are the crafts that my class made. I had the older girls. We had a exicting time. The girls really enjoyed their crafts and I enjoyed sharing my scrapbook supplies with them. The flipflops were our favorites!! I wished I would have bought me a pair to do! LOL :)

Well it's 12:30 am and I should get to bed soon! We're having a baby shower tomorrow for my SIL, so that should be fun!! (Can't wait to see ya Angela)!!

BTW I bought a waTerprooF camera tonight so I can get some pics of the girls in pool! Can't wait to see how they turn out! Night.

Busy Bee

Last week we all got together at my Dad's house to scrap. My Dad's girlfriend is big into scrapping and we went card crazy! We had a blast and we are doing it again tomorrow! It feels so nice to be out of school and have alittle extra time to relax and do what I love. But I've still been busy but it's a good busy. Saturday we painted my kitchen, living room, hall, and dining room. I'll post pictures soon. We're not quite finished with all the trim and the hallway. Monday we took the youth group to a Water Park. It was soo nice! We all have a great time. This week is VBS and I'm teaching the older girls. The crafts I chose are scrappy crafts of course! ;) Last night we made a paperbag album. Tonight is the altered flipflops and Thursday night is a altered clipboard! LOL
I love how scallops are in style now. They are soo pretty. I also bought the cuttlebug a few weeks ago and I LOVE IT! It embosses soooo pretty! I need more dies but that will come with time. :) I love how it cuts, foam, fabric and felt! IT's just awesome! I got it Creative Xpress.com for $35.00 and they threw in a free embossing folder of my choice. The alpha dies were also on sale for $40.00! This flower and vase is from the Oliva Alpha's which I ordered.
I made this tag using my cousins cricut and I love that thing! I'm trying to save up money so I'll have it when it goes on sale again! I wished Walmart would mark them back down to $100. But they are still $184.00. :( I cut out these flowers with the sizzix die. I've been trying to use up all my scraps on cards. It really helps to cut down on my paper stash.
I love using my sewing machine on paper. I'm kind of getting the bug to sew now and want to try my hand at a small quilt. We'll see. Time permitting. I found a little shop in town that sells BEAUTIFUL fabric. I could buy and collect the fabric because it is soo pretty! :)
And my last card. I am going to put these on my etsy shop. I love etsy. Have a great week!!

Baby Boy Paper Bag Album

I've already sold this paperbag album on etsy so it looks like I'll have to do another. But I've gotta be honest here, it's soooo hard for me to make little boy things b.c It's just not in me! :(



I love little boys but I it's hard to scrap with only blues and plain colors! LOL You can't really add pretty ribbons and flowers like you can with girly things!! Any tips for the next one anyone??!! LOL Have a WONDERFUL Weekend everyone!!

A few new things to share

I've been really busy this week!! The school year is coming to a end (HAPPY DANCE) and I've been busy with the youth group, work, kids, and making stuff for my new etsy store. My husband talked me into trying to sell a few of my things so I did just that! I must admit though, it's just like having a second job and I feel pressured to make everything perfect. But before I didnt care to much if it was perfect or if I made a mistake. lol Funny huh?!

So far I've sold 5 things and it's exicting to know that someone ACTUALLY wanted my stuff!

I think these cards turned out super cute. I hope I dont sound like I'm bragging. I sanded the paper with a sanding block and it looks sooo cool! I'll be using that techinque again!! :) The paperbag school day mini album turned out so cute! I used my Mike $1.oo Stamps!! They are super cute! I wished I had more of them! And believe me I would if I lived closer to a mikes! LOL

I'm so exicted! In a few more weeks I'll be free to sleep late, scrap all day if I want, hang out with my kids in the pool, take mini day trips to fun places and much much more!! Can you tell I'm ready??!!

PS Sorry about the order of the pictures!! ;)

New Cards

A couple of new cards that I made last night!! I wasn't really up to the online crop at AMR yesterday b/c I was busy cleaning and cooking and spending time with the family! I cleaned my scrapbook room and made room for my husbands stuff too! He is happy.

Well ladies I finally did it! I've been wanting to do this for a long time now! I opened a Etsy store. Please feel free to check it out HERE Please let me know what you think! I want to know your thoughts on this... good and bad! Please critique me! Do I need to add or change anything? Don't be afraid!

I've been making stuff a little along and wanted to do a craft fair but they are kind of pricey around here. It's just something fun for me to.

Single and Looking

I promised my husband's friend Brent last weekend that I would try and hook him up with a "good ole country girl!" :) So ladies...There he is on the left. He is sooooo sweet and good looking! All I can say is, if I wasn't married.........you finish that thought! ;)

We had a total blast last weekend in North Georgia at the knap-in! There was over 30 vendors! The girls threw the atlatl (it's a long spear that you use this wooden device to shoot with) and got into the competition. They only need to shoot one more time and they qualify for the world championship! They are so exicted! You can learn more about it here The girl in their class last year won with 26 points. Get this! Lacey scored 42 and Haley scored 36!! That's awesome!!
