It's been a while....

I'm sorry it's been a while since I posted. We took a quick trip down to South Padre Island and then we had some birthdays to attend to. The boys turned 8 and Zach wanted to get a dog and Austin wanted to get a cat. Well to make a long story short the dog did not work out and now we have two new cats. With taking care of all the animals and trying to keep up with the LOAD challenges I keep forgetting to sit down and blog.

Here's a picture of Jamie. She's a 14 week old Lab mix. She's a very cute and sweet little girl but unfortunately we are NOT dog people.

I still haven't gotten pictures of the cats but will try to soon.

On the scrappy side, I was introduced to a kit of the month club that I hadn't heard of so I decided to check it out. Their kits rock and are one of the best priced kit clubs I've seen out there. Check it out for yourself and you will find that you are Simply Obsessed. They are also currently looking for 5 new design team members. You can check out the call info here.

Here's a clock I altered today.

to make this clock I simply used a clock that we hadn't really been using and took the glass off it. I then glued the lace cardstock onto the top of the Fancy Pants True PP. I set that aside to dry while I punched circles from some Scenic Route Background paper. Once the circles were all cut out I put the numbers on each circle using Making Memories rub-ons. I then added my signature broken boarder to each circle. I then measured the inside of my clock and found a circle the right diameter which in this case was a lid from a plastic mixing bowl. I turned the pattern papers over and traced the lid on the back of the paper and cut it out. I then used a ruler to draw a vertical and horizontal line down the middle of the circle to determine the center. Once the center was determined I used the smallest CM circle cutter and blue blade to cut a circle in the middle. I then added photo corners to the paper and slipped it over the clock hands and affixed it to the clock. I then attatched the numbered circles. To cover up the exposed part of the clock under the hands I used an Urban Lily flower cut out. I cut a small circle for the center and then slipped the flower over the clocks hands and attached it to the clock.

Ok so that description would have been a lot better if I had taken pictures for each step. I'll try to do that next time I alter something.
