My little fashonista

Well, I'm not even sure this picture needs much of an explanation...... but, boy are we in for it when this little one grows up!

My First Bella Card

I know I'm really late to catch on to the whole Bella craze, but better late than never, right? Thanks again Sparkle for the image! You're the best!

supplies used: K&Company papers, Stamping Bella Stamp, Prismacolor markers

This card is for my BFF, LaTraya ;0). She's pretty new to the world of scrapping & stamping but she already LOVES the Bella stamps! We both think it's awesome how each of the Bella gals can be colored in to represent any ethnicity.

When she announced that she and her hubby were expecting, I knew I had to create LaTraya-bella just for her!

Happy Wednesday!

Hey Ladybug!

A friend of mine is in the final stages of buying a house and is feeling a little stressed by the whole thing. I made this card for her in the hopes of cheering her up a bit. I used my Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge for the twig and ladybug.

It feels so funny to get out my Cricut and use it anymore! I used to use it all the time and then I bought a Pazzles and fell in love with that because it can literally cut anything I want it to. Just curious, does anyone else still use their bug?

Have a great Tuesday!

baby girl scrapbook pages

Over the past few weeks I've been working on a couple of custom scrapbook albums for a new client. This was one of my favorite layouts that went in an album for a 2 year old girl. I'd originally bought this paper to scrap some of my own pictures of Bean, but I hadn't gotten around to using it by the time this new project came up. I ended up liking these pages so much that I'm pretty sure I'll be making another set of them for my little darlin too. Althought I don't know what I'll do to about the little acrylic ribbon slides since CTMH retired them at the first of the year and I don't have a website anymore. :0(

supplies used : My Mind's Eye papers, CTMH flowers & acrylic ribbon slides, brads, ribbon

Tonight is Family Movie Night at the Gautier house! We're going to watch The Chronicals of Narnia : Prince Caspian tonight and my kids are so excited! We'd planned to go and see it in the theater but never found the right time to go, so it should be a treat for all of us!

Happy Friday!

Happy New Year...a little bit late ;0)

We started out the new year with a bang, and a couple of really nasty colds! Yay! Not so much. I've spent the past few days being the official runny nose wiper (double yay!) and have become quite used to being Bean's "mommy-chair". And I also think I've seen enough Nick Jr. shows to last me a millenium.

Now that we appear to be past the worst of it, I finally have a free moment (and free hands) to update my blog.



Every Christmas I like to make Nate a calendar for the following year. He really loves them and just gets a kick out of looking over all our favorite pictures from the year. I went the easier route this year and bought a kit by Basic Grey where the pages were all preplanned and all I had to do was assemble and add my pics!

I'll probably post some more of the pages throughout the year, maybe it'll help me post artwork more often, lol! Although I have made it one of my resolutions to create and share more projects.

Hope you all are having a great start to your new year!

Merry Christmas

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

My little stampin man

Nick just loves to stamp with me when he gets the chance! I think it's super cute and love to indulge a fellow arteest! A few weeks ago I was working on some Christmas cards and he just couldn't wait to make his own. He HATES when I take unauthorized pictures of him and will usually put his hand in front of his face, but he was soooo in the crafting zone that he didn't even notice me clicking away!

Awesome job Buddy!
