Hayden and the Seahorse boy


This is another statue that is along the water. This is the most popular statue. It is of a little boy on a Seahorse. Hayden thought it was fun to stand on top where he was "bigger" than everyone. You can double click the picture for a larger view.

Old PV in Mexico


Hello there. The attached picture is in old town PV, while we were visiting my parents on their boat. We did the river walk, which is alot of little shops along the river and it ends up at the beach. We then walked the beach. They have all these neat statues along the water. This is one were Hayden is mimicking the statue . Too cute!

Down the Slide he comes!

This is a picture of my son, Hayden, coming down the big boy slide at Paradise Village Hotel in PV Mexico. It took some coaxing to get him to go down the first time and then there was no stopping him. This slide was a Crocodile and then the part where you come out was the mouth, it was really cool. In this picture he got turned around sideways and was a little unsure for a few minutes after that. I would say in total he went down 20 times. There is Daddy & Papa waiting for him at the bottom.

Cowboy Card for Stamp A Rama

Little Man's VDay Card


I needed a card for my 4 year old son for Valentine's day. I literally, whipped this one out! It is nothing special, but he thought it was very cool. I used the "Wild about you" stamp set. I took a piece of Basic Black c/s and used the spiral punch to make it look like a film reel or photo negative. I finished the card off with some black gingham ribbon. This one was about a 10 minute card. I could have embellished it a little more, but I like the simple yet cute look.

Swaps for Oakland Regionals

These are two samples of the swaps that I did for the Oakland regionals this past weekend. They are both very similar to the card I designed for Valentine's Day and my club card.

Again, I used the "Just B" stamp set. The card to the left is Taken with Teal & Soft sky. The other card is Brilliant Blue & Bashful blue. Both use Pumpkin Pie as the base. I used the Fabulous stamp from "Just B", so the saying is "B fabulous"! I like it! I really like the little bee with this set. It was very cute and works well. SU! did it again with this set. Love it!

Valentine's Day Mailbox

This is another project that I designed for Valentine's Day and for our project at the monthly Stamper's club. Everyone LOVED this little mailbox. Can I just say how easy this little guy is to make? Easy peesy!

Just select your cardstock of choice, cut to 4 X 12 and adhere using sticky strip. I just put the sticky strip on the bottom pieces. Trace lid and cut cardstock. Adhere using glue and trim as necessary. Add accessories of choice and presto! You have a great little gift.

I used Berry Bliss Designer Paper, Blossoms punch, ribbon and circle, designer punches to decorate.
