Alexander Kai is here.........

Yes, he was born on 1/4/2011.  While it was nice to have him for my Birthday which was 1/9, it was a little bit bitter sweet for me because he is my last baby.  I got my tubes tied, too many repeat c-sections already.  But it's okay I am trying to enjoy him as much as I can, so please forgive me if I don't post that often.  I will be busy :}.  This is also my first time having my kids close together 2.5 years apart usually they are 5 years apart, so it's a bit challenging right now.

Here is a picture of him:

7lbs and 19 inches long

Here he is after 2 Weeks:

See how big his getting already!

Here is a card I made to send my adopted Aunt and Uncle:  (they are my mom's co-workers for over 20 years now)  yes that's how long I've known them so so I call them Auntie and Uncle already.  I had this ready already before I gave birth:

I used Nana's Stack for Boy, Cricut Cartridge: New Arrival, Stamp Image of Baby from The Greeting Farm, Stamp Sentiment "It's A Boy" also from The Greeting Farm and the stamp image from the bottom is from Papertrey Ink.  I just colored them with my copics.  The circle and scallop circle is Spellbinders.  Hope you guys like it.  Opps, Border punch I used is from Stampin Up!  

Other than that I didn't send any baby announcements this time around, I figured everyone I know pretty much has facebook anyway :}

1st Try

I saw this at the Sweet Pea Stamps blog and wanted to try it out.  I thought it came out pretty good.  I really like it.  Let me know what you guys think.  I colored the image with Copics and some of Sakura's Glitter Pens.

The image is called Ching-Chou Kuik's Carnation of May.  I love coloring her images.  It is just so detailed.  I really do need to start writing down though what colors I use.  Unfortunately it's really hard because all my pens are on the table and I could never decide what colors to use before hand.  I am more like what ever comes to mind kinda coloring.

Holiday is here and the Year is at an end.

I just wanted to wish everyone a very nice Holiday and a Wonderful New Year!  Please be safe in your travel this holiday season with this unpredictable weather.

But most of all Enjoy your family and friends.

Altered Frame

Hello Everyone,

This is a project I was working on Today, well some of last night too.  It mostly came together this morning because last night out of frustration I was on the verge of tossing it out.. hehehe~ This wasn't my first altered frame but my 3rd but the 1st 2 was really easy.  I gave it to my son's 2nd grade teacher.  I wish I didn't forget to take a picture of that one though.

This one was a headache, I think it's because the glass frame was actually glued to the frame already and I really wanted to put a ribbon on it but couldn't.  Also I have less than 2 weeks till the end of my pregnancy and my body aches when I am  crafting since I love to craft standing up.

Well here is a picture of what I made, it's a Xmas gift for my Mother....

I got this frame from Michaels last night.  I bought 2 but I think I will be returning 1 of them because like I said it was just so difficult for me to alter it, maybe because I am tired, but it was just frustrating....

The paper line I used is K & Company - Wild Raspberry.  I then inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tea Dye.  I also sprayed the whole frame with some Tattered Angels - Glimmer Mist in Pearl.

 This sentiment is from HSN's 3 Birds Line and also flocked.

 This flower is made out of scrap paper from the same line.  I used the Stacking  Daisy Punch and just curled them with a pencil tip.  The bling is Imaginisce I-Rock.

 The flower is from Prima, brad is from Ki Memories it came glittered.  The Butterfly is Martha Stewart Punch, which I used UTEE to emboss it and Martha Stewart Fine clear glitter.  The pearls I just found in my stash, but I think it's from Michaels.

 Again I used the Marvy Uchida Stacking Daisy Punch on this one and just curled the edges.  The bling is from HSN's 3 Birds line.

I think towards the end I am pretty happy with the results, I hope my mom likes her Christmas Gift.

I Have Been.....

a bit busy these past few weeks.  I have been working on a lot of layouts digitally though because it is so hard for me to stay standing up when I am scrapbooking, but unfortunately thats how I like to work on my projects, it's just easier.  I will make sure I put up some pictures later.  Only a 1 more month to go then we get to see our new addition and I finally get to have my body back - well at least half of it.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
