366 {photo} a day challenge - Febuary 2012

Only a few days late...but here's what I came up with using Gennifer Bursett's 366 template:

366 {photo} a day challenge

I wanted to use this kit I found over Design House Digital (by the way if you haven't check out this site, they have great digital stuff!). It was designed by Gennifer Bursett. I liked the simplicity of the kit. I liked how you could add anything you wanted to it. You can choose from a quickpage album or a do-it-yourself album. :) She has some awesome stuff.

Also, I had to buy this.

Here's what I've got for January:

February {iPhone} wallpapers

Thought I would try my hand at making some wallpapers for my iPhone. I thought they turned out pretty good for my first attempts at making a pattern in Photoshop.

PS I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I'm just trying to find time to get a few creative things while wrestling with a new sschedule, new baby, and a very busy almost 3 year old.

Supplies: Stampin' Up Buttons, Gennifer Bursett 366 doodles

Be my {valentine}

WARNING: If you are my visiting teachee, you have been warned this might be a peek at your gift for February. :)

I had some great ideas when I saw these mini paint cans at Target. I also found 2x2 canvas on clearance at Micheals. I also found these awesome puffy stickers there as well. Heidi Swapp made these fabulous pom poms. So all combined, here's what I came up with. I made magnets out of the pom poms and the mini canvases.

Snickerdoodles via Occasionally Crafty

I met Valeriae via the Craftaholics Anonymous Gift Exchange. She recently put a Snickerdoodle recipe that I thought I would try. Mmmm...they turned out tasty. Here;s the link to the recipe:
Best Snickerdoodles Ever

I made a couple of changes. I used parchment paper instead of greasing the cookie sheet. I also used the minimum amount of flour called for in the recipe. Valerie suggested baking the cookies at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. I was surprised the cookies turned out so amazing! I never have that much luck! MMM...they were tasty. Here's a picture:

Thanks, Valerie! :)

Happy {New} Year

Just wanted to say Happy New Year! Sorry for the neglected blog. We are currently enjoying our newest addition - Baby Brother. :) Will get back into the swing of things come 2012! I have big plans for instagram pictures from 2011. Just got to get stuff printed. Does anyone else have this challenge? I can't ever get pictures printed to go into my projects. Wish me luck with this in 2012 :)
