Rak Winner

Just wanted to let everyone know that I drew a winner for the stamps rak and it was LG. Thanks everyone for playing along!

Can you help me....please!

Okay , I would love some help.....I know how thoughtful & generous scrappers are....so I thought maybe it wouldn't be to much to ask. :)

This picture is of my sister-in-law and her children. She is dying of cancer. It may only be weeks, so I am of course doing things last minute as always. But what  I am asking from you is....Could you please make 1 Birthday card for a girl or boy or make it unisex and mail it to me. I would like to collect enough card's so that she can write in them and we can give them to the kids on each bday until they are 18. I need 32 cards. Even buying at the dollar store can get expensive. I dread the thought of making that many myself! So I am asking If you would be willing to make just 1, please. A handmade card is so much more special. If you are willing to do this please email me (StarRork@mchsi.com) and I will give you my address.

You have no idea how much this would mean to her and to me....and to her children!...ok gonna stop now b4 I start crying!
Thanks a million!
Love, Star

P.S. I will do a drawing for a rak for everyone who has helped me...just not sure what it's gonna be yet!

Just wanting to give a little "after Christmas" love!


Here is a layout I did with the sketch over at Pencil Lines.

Cricut & A Sewing Machine...oh my!

Finally started playing with my Cricut, you know that early Christmas present! ;) And I got out my little pixie sewing machine and was determined to learn how to sew. It wasn't without frustration and lots of crooked lines, but I love the result!

This is Mason's doing his Math homework for 1st grade. I love school pages!

Used a clear sticker and put stickles over the top.

We put together this haunted house after Halloween, cause I got it for a whole buck at Walmart!

Here's a lo of me turning the big 30!

December PageMaps

This is from the sketch contest this month over at Page Maps. It started off like the sketch but I flipped it and I left out a little and added a little, was inspired to get out my sewing machine that I want to master. All in all I love the end result!
In September we went to Alabama for my brothers wedding. It turned out very beautiful, it was outdoors under a tent. It was very sophisticated and I hope I captured that  in this layout. Ti amo means I love you in Italian, they went on a long honeymoon to Rome and this is spoken there....so google tells me anyways! lol

If you look closely in the background of the picture I LOVE what I captured. It is my cousin knelt down holding the hand of this adorable little girl in a handmade dress. She is his 2nd cousin & I just think this is so sweet, especially the way she is looking at him! It almost competes with the beautiful bride & groom, but not quite!

I also wanted to give a shout out to Stacy Milford, her blog is here. She is a designer  at Scrapbook Circle. I just seen her named mentioned in Creating Keepsakes Readers Gallery. Congrats Stacy!

If you like my work, please follow me! I love more followers!

This Boy......

I am so in love with this line "Rough & Tough" from Fancy Pants. It completely seems to fit all the pictures of my little man T. I used my stickles for the 1st time, probably hard to see but I colored in the stars and the title.

I am so excited I took the plunge and got a RED Cricut Expressions at Walmart on black Friday. I wasn't really sure how much I wanted the machine, but for the price they had, I changed my mind.....I act as though this was still a cheap purchase! lol, well it is my xmas present from everyone! Thanks family, a month early ofcourse!
