Nicolette's Birthday Bash Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to my blog, and Nicolette's Birthday Bash Blog Hop, June 1st and 2nd. If you've come from Jenny's Blog , you are in the right place. If you happen to stop by my blog and want to join in on the Birthday Bash blog hopping fun, you can start at the beginning at Nicolette's Blog. We are hoppin in honor of Nicolette's Birthday.   By the way - If you haven't noticed, it is a Birthday/Disney theme hop! Have Fun!

I made this card for "my prince."   My hubby's birthday is June 10th.  I tried to stay away from girlie looking cards this time around since I was able to use any Disney characters I wanted!

My daughter received this huge princess carriage filled with flowers as a centerpiece giveaway from a communion party she recently went to.  She wouldn't let me alter it too much, so I just added some ribbon and removable princess stickers for fun!  I wanted to give it to my cousin's daughter but Sara wants to keep it.  lol  I guess she is a little girl at heart.  :)

I really enjoyed this creating for this hop.  I would like to thank Nicolette for inviting me and wish her a very Happy Birthday.

28 Candles Blog Hop

Welcome to Kimi Lash Cremar's 28 Candles Blog Hop. Happy Birthday Kimi!!! I am so happy Kimi invited my daughter and I to be in her birthday hop. My daughter is Victoria and she is a 10 yr old scrapper who is also on the hop list. Sit back, relax and comment on each post for a chance to win.

To celebrate birthdays, I made my very first birthday banner. (Details below.)

If you just happened to stop by my blog, thank you. To start from the beginning of the hop go HERE.  Forgive me, my pictures aren't the best.  I uploaded on my mom's computer and she doesn't have a photo program that will let me crop or brighten the pictures.  I hope to have time later today to fix them at home.

My daughter, Victoria's birthday is May 22 and she will be 11 years old. Her favorite color is blue so I wanted to create her a birthday banner that had blue on each piece. I chose Basic Grey to scrap with. I also used BG naked chipboard letters, Simply Betty Stamps birthday Emo, buttons, handmade flowers, magic mesh, AC ribbon and Copics.  To purchase Birthday Judy or any of her other great stamps and digis check out Simply Betty Stamps.

Want some Candy?  All you have to do is leave me a comment and I will choose a random winner.  Now off to the fabulous Victoria!  Incase you get lost along the way, here is the full lineup:

Birthday, Valentines and Simply Betty Stamps

Happy Valentine's Day! I just wanted to share a picture of myself and my friend's that came over my house yesterday to help me celebrate my 40th birthday. We had a blast. We ate so much!!! Jana and Alejandra made pork shoulder, spanish rice and empanadas (?), YUMMY! snacks all day and Mark made a huge pot of sauce and meatballs for dinner. OMG It was all so good! For dessert, Alejandra made flan and Sara got an ice cream cake for me. We laughed and scrapped the day away. Amanda brought her 4 month old son with her, he is so cute and my girls were so good with him! I also wanted to share a card I made for myself from my husband as a joke - he never buys cards and I couldn't resist coloring the adorable guy Miller from Simply Betty Stamps. I hope you all enjoy your day!

Sara's Birthday & Two Hearts One Love Layout for SOS

I enjoyed making this layout of my daughter, Sara and her boyfriend, Travis. They have been dating for 2 1/2 years now. I think he is "the one". They are a sweet couple. My daughter is in college to become a vascular sonographer. She has it all planned out: graduate, start a career, marriage and children at a young age. I pray it happens for her. She is 19 today! Happy Birthday to my baby.

Now it's your turn to take the February challenge "Love". See all the details HERE

Victoria Turned 10!

Victoria's favorite color is blue. The inside says "just for you" Happy 10th Birthday. Love Mom and Dad She absolutely loved the card. She doesn't like flowers and pink, nothing too girlie.




Taking my girls to the movies and lunch to celebrate Victoria's 10th birthday! WOW 10 years old already! I hope the sun shines for her today so we can have some bbq for dinner.

The sun peeked out for a little while today. After the movies, we came home and Victoria and Emma played in the yard jumping on the trampoline, playing ball and running around. We had a light bbq for dinner and mom stopped by for a bite.

We just finished watching the Blind Side with Sara. Great Movie. WOW I went to see Letters to Juliet another great movie and Blind Side tonight at home, no action at all and I really enjoyed myself. I usually only like to watch action packed movies. Half way through Letters to Juliet, my mom leaned over and said... If someone doesn't get killed... and we laughed. She likes the same type of movies as I do. All in all I think Victoria had a nice birthday and lots of family time with her sisters.

I just sent everyone to bed. Good night my sweet birthday girl. Hope your 10th was memorable! I love you Victoria!

Sara Turned 18 and TPE Pink Card

Well I can now say that I am the mother of an 18 year old daughter. Time is going by so quickly. My girls are growing up so fast. I am so proud of all of them. Sara has accomplished so much this year. She has been recently accepted to Kean college to study to become a math teacher. Very Exciting! She is also in high honors for the second marking period in a row! She holds down 2 part-time jobs while attending high school and also tutors 1 day a week. She is a hard worker and deserves the best in life!

She was listing all the things she can now do as an 18 year old and buying lottery tickets was won of the fun ones for her. Too bad she didn't win. I made her birthday card using her favorite color pink and zebra stripes. (She loved it!) Today mom and I are taking Sara to Empire City Casino in Yonkers, we all can't wait to have a fun-filled day together!

Happy Birthday Emma

Happy Birthday my beautiful 7 year old! I can't believe how fast time is moving. It seems just like yesterday you were born and we had a major blizzard the next day. Today the sun is shining and it is 65 degrees. What a difference. You will never know how happy you make me. I love you! You looked so pretty for school this morning with your crown on, too funny. I hope everyone likes the mini cupcakes we made, you were so excited to bring them in to share with your friends. I was so happy that you loved the card I made for you.
The inside reads: Happy 7th Birthday You are still the youngest chick in the house.

Emma turned 6

I can't believe my baby is 6 years old. Her birthday was Dec 3. Time sure flies by. Emma celebrated her birthday with her very first friend party. She had a few friends from her class come over for a makeover party. Victoria and her friend, Julia put makeup on the girls and Sara did their hair. Each girls decorated their own cupcake. They played freeze dance and school. All in all, they had a great time. On her birthday, we decided to have ice cream cones with birthday candles and I baked a cake to bring to my mom's house. We made mini cupcakes for her classmates. It was some birthday! She has grown up so much since she started kindergarten. She is so smart and we love her so much!
