Lil Racer- Sketch reveal SOUS

Oh, yea its Friday, its Friday, its Friday...LOL  First of all, let me begin by wishing all of you mom's a very happy Mother's Day this coming up Sunday.. 

so, with that said..LOL  Us girls over at S.O.U.S are having our sketch reveal today and our very own Leah is the designer behind this Friday's sketch.. I picked my brain a little bit and came up with a cute little layout and I've noticed that since I started using my Cricut a lot more, I've been enjoying myself scrapping again.. Don't get me wrong, I love using all types of scrappy goodness.. But sometimes its nice to go back to an all time fav and for me it's my cricut..

yes, I'll stop yapping now..LOL 

 Here is my take on this weeks sketch:

I had so much fun playing with my little boy cartridges again, which masculine layouts are always a struggle for me but the last weeks have been so much fun making all these layouts for my boys.. 

I just wished I had found some photos of my son Aaron actually sitting in the little red car, but they are hidden away and I couldn't find them.. Grrrrrr

Here is the sketch :

and for a few close up:

Hmmm.  Wonder if my hubby was a big Earnhardt fan?.. 

He still is, just rooting for Jr now a days..

My Peachy Keen stamp came in handy again.. Love their facial stamps

I thought adding the band-aids was a cute touch..LOL and what kid doesn't like colorful ones...

My journaling...LOL  I know my boys will get a kick out of it..

I once again designed this layout using Cricut Craftroom.. 

Here is a picture of the actual design and how it looked before I pieced em all together:

*I realized that I could print the background colors (green, black and light blue) onto one piece of white cardstock and not have to print on three different sheets and waste it by cutting it..

The Great Outdoors with Prima

Those of you who can't resist Prima Goodies, raise your hands...LOL  I'm right there with you all...

When I seen Kristina was offering the new Prima Collection grab bags, I made sure to be one of the first ones on the list..LOL  I decided I wanted it all and so, asked for an entire collection and when I got my package, Holy Moly.. There were so many amazing things in there, I couldn't make up my mind on what to use first..

So, for today's Prima project, I decided to use some of the small roses: Charmé Rose-Sun Kiss, The Essential Petals-Sun Kiss and Camille Flowers-Sun Kiss, I also used some of the mini butterflies: Flutter Bits-Sun Kiss.  

I also used the background papers that had a yellow and flowers on it..  But the best is you can get them all in one amazing grab bag.. depending on which collection you choose of course.. You can check them out by clicking HERE.

I (heart) being your mom- Die Cut reveal SOUS

Another Friday reveal fellow scrappers.. 

Us girls over at Stuck On U Sketches decided to do a Mother's Day die cut reveal for this Friday.. I decided to created a layout instead of a card..

First of all, I apologize for the photo of my project.. I took it outside since its nice and sunny outside but I have not yet mastered my camera..LOL  

The flowers added some shade onto the photo on the layout..

So anyway.. 

Here is my take on this weeks die cut challenge:

The photos are of my and my daughter.. on the top photo you can also see my mom, so I thought it was fitting..They were both taken at the same time, which feels like a million years ago.. My daughter was about 3.5 yrs old and she will be 23yrs old on Monday the 7th of May..

I also have a few close ups to share:

Off the page with Prima- DT project by Nanné

Hellooooo fellow scrappers.. 

Living in Finland my kids love to celebrate all of the holidays we have here along with all of the holidays that are  American, that we also celebrate here.. 

Well, today is the eve of Mayday.. Which means all of the younger generation get all dressed up in funny hats, masks and costumes and go strutting their stuff in our capital Helsinki.. they eat donuts, funnel cakes and drink a soda called "Sima".. which I actually make myself..

so, this year my daughter went out and bought a simple little white hat with a veil and a mask.. She then asked me to help her PIMP them up as she put it..LOL

We went through some our my Prima goodies that I had gotten from Kristina over at Your Memories Here and the fabric flowers were perfect along with the fabric leaves.. She also used some Prima gems and a trinket by Bo Bunny.

Here are the finished projects:

 She also grabbed some wide red ribbon from my stash and made a beautiful trim with it.. adding the gems, trinket, flower and the feathers to it..

Here is the mask.. 

She added some red stickles to accent the image on the mask and then added the red Prima fabric leaves behind a big black flower that was already on the mask.. 

I appologize for the photos, I took them with my iphone since my batteries were dead in my camera.. oopsy on my part..LOL It happens...

For supplies used:

hat and mask

I want to thank you all so much for stopping today and checking out our project for Your Memories Here and remember, these flowers aren't just for pages, but off of them as well.. 

Hope everyone has a wonderfully scrappy week :)
