You played it to the beat

I made my nutella cupcakes last weekend.


OMG they were sooo yummy! Definately making these again. Next on my cupcake list...Oreo cupcakes.

Last day of extern...I am scared, happy, sad, excited. So many things going on in my head. I wish I could stay home and create. I wish I could find a good job so I dont have to worry about where the money is going to come from to pay this or that bill. I wish I could open up my own scrap/cupcake store and call it Glitter and Sprinkles. Didnt I tell you so many things going on in my head? *sigh* I need to win the lottery. I guess maybe I should start playing then huh? Bawahaha!

This past week many things came and went. One most important thing was my 18 year anniversary with my hubby. No we havent been married for 18 years but we might as well been. We have been together for 18 years and to me that is just as awesome. Not many people last that long these days. I know we will be celebrating 50 years in the future. Hopefully tho that one doesnt come as fast as the 18 did!

My hubby goes out of his way to make special days even more special. He cooked me dinner (lasagana), had it waiting for me when I got home. Bought me 12 long stem red roses, monkey pj's and slippers, a super sah-weet ring (just my style), and a jumbo reese easter egg. Hehehe! Yeah he is freakin awesome, I know. I think I love him. *wink*

On the crafty front I have one more page made with the AMM April kit.


I also forgot to share my little easter wreath I made for my front door. Everything bought at dollar tree.

I was thinking some plastic eggs covered in music sheets added to it would be fab. Maybe next year. Not much time left!

I should be getting my DT box from GCD stuidos tmw! Soooo excited!

Time to get ready for our easter. What are your plans?

♥♥♥

People always told me be careful what you do

I have a bunch of A Million Memories stuff to share with you all today. I created a countdown calendar for my kids. Used plastic eggs and my April Amm kit. You can make a whole flat of them but I have 4 children so I wanted to keep it simple.

So here is how you make your own.
~SUPPLIES~
scissors
white glue
Water
crepe paper streamers
PP paper
glitter of choice
Empty egg carton
Styrofoam plate
plastic eggs
scallop punch

1. Make a mixture of 2 parts glue to one part water.


2.Tear crepe paper streamers in to bits. No need to be precise, you want a chunky look to your eggs.

3.Begin by brushing the eggs with the glue mixture.

4.Place your crepe paper bits on the egg coated in glue. I use the straight edges at the opening of the egg. Make sure to not make it perfect, a little chunky never hurt anyone. :)

5.Smooth out the crepe paper with the glue mixture. I find my finger worked the best for this. Add your glitter while the glue is wet. Set aside to dry.

6.Punch scalloped circles from PP. Roll edges in glue and cover in glitter. Add your nbrs.Add pop dot to back and glue pop dot to egg above opening. Viola!

I am filling mine with bible verses and candy of course. Enough for each of them to have a piece.The grass is just streamers cut into stripes to make it look like grass.

The pages I made using the kit.


My hubby and I. This is my take on our dt sketch. Come play along with us!



This page was about a street performer in SF we got to see. I loved his act. One of my favs in the city.


Me and hubby on Valentines day. Used the crate paper in the kit for this simple page. My girl...thats what he calls me.


Lastly this page of my bike. I love my bike. This page is showcasing that love. The kit is so beautiful and filled with lovely stuff. I still have a TON of things to make with it. Michelle really puts together some awesome kits. :)

I have so many creative things swimming around in my head, amongst deadlines. I hope to get to them all soon.
