Card from my sister in law.

Life has been crazy lately. My full 8 passanger Suburban broke down the other night and while waiting for a tow truck I get a phone call. My 8 year old had thrown up all over my bed and all over the floor. Great!! So now I am trying to do volunteer hours I signed up for at the kids school and deal with a sick kid, all with no truck. My husband also just started a new semester at school and is on the run all the time. I started to feel a little crazy and frustrated. But again life tells me to grab a clue. I am so blessed. Haiti just had a major earthquake. People are wishing their child was alive to care for. That they had a home, nevermind a school to go to. That a truck is major luxury working or not. Right now they are literally dying for a drink of water. I am so saddened by their tragedy. I am grateful that help is slowing reaching them. I am grateful the my church, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is already helping to deal with the problems there.
So today I am posting a card my sister in law, Julie just made me. It made me happy!! Love good crafting!

Magnets decorated with Silhouette cutter shapes.

While watching TV the other night I quickly cut out a few Silhouette shapes in vinyl to decorate cheap Ikea magnets. I really like them and am excited to use them. My family can't keep their hands off them so I think they are a hit. I really like the alien guy...super cute. All designs are from Silhouette America.
p.s.-Anyone know how to turn pictures on here?

Friday night fun??

Yes, another friday night and I'm a at home doing nothing...loser. But actually it is by choice. It is freezing in my house and so it must be way too cold outside for me. Why must winter exist?
Anyway I did a bunch of crafty things that I want to post but I can't find my camera. Duh!! But today I finally used the new embossing powder and dryer thingy that my dear hubby bought me for Christmas. I have just never got into embossing...I like it but was too cheap to buy the stuff. I wasn't sure I'd really like it that much. So today my daughter Kaitlyn played with me and we both really liked it. We tried a few colors and had a bunch of fun. We also threw together a two secondish card. Which I will post asap...well as soon as it warms up enough to search everywhere for my disappearing camera.
As you can see I found it.
The first picture is the card I made for a girl in our church youth group. I am the 2nd Councillor in the group. So I am in charge of the 12-13 year old girls and the group is called the Beehives. The purse is for the girl too. It is full of candy!!
The last picture is the quick practice of embossing.
