Altered Lunch Box

Hey! Everyone I know I haven't post all weekend but I have been busy... I had knew my husbands boss wife is having a baby and of course I told my husband that I would make something for them.... Well time passed never got to it and she had her baby on Friday evening....
had a 8lb baby boy.... Wow! ....
Well I already had an idea and I just had to pull out the stuff and start working on it... For a long time I wanted to make a Lunch box scrapbook and I finally made one it took me the whole weekend hence I had to stop and take care of the family in between... they just can't seem to live with out me...
I finally finished it... I really don't do much scrapbooking or decorating boxes but I think I did a pretty good job decorating this lunch box...

This is the outside.... I had went to ACmoore and brought the paper I thought it was just the paper I needed because I know my Husband is going to give it to his boss... And I thought it would probably nice for his boss to keep it on his desk at work with pictures of his sons growth...

I started out using the stampin set from SU, Babies First I took each stamp and made an index card with a slot holder for a picture of each first....
First Nap at home
First tooth
First baby food
First time crawling
First tantrum
First bath
First steps
First Words

Then I made white envelopes that have two 4x4 cards with the 1 month - 12 months .... the cards are for pics of the baby's growth each month ....
I know I could have done more with it but I waited till the last minute, and I wanted him to bring it to him tomorrow... I hope they like it...

This is the inside with everything in it ... it has enough room to grow with the baby...

This is my third card with Farm Fever this Set contains four stamps... So that means I have one more to go.... I have had a hard time trying to come up with some ideas with this set don't know why???... But I like what I have so far... The Recipe for this card is SU CS, Basic grey, pretty in pink and black, and again I used my crayon colored pencils to color in the sheep... which again I love them... I can't believe I was able to post twice so for today... My kids are off school for Spring break this week... We did some spring cleaning the first few days and today we just straighten up the usual everyday mess... as everyone knows that has kids .... they were complaining the whole time, but I also remind them that I do this everyday while they are in school ...They just love that...

My Farm Fever Challenge

Well, I got to post early this morning I used Farm Fever again... I used this set once before and yesterday so today I decided to try something else with it ... My own challenge, is to make a card with each stamp that is in the set so look for more later ... You should try it as well take a set that you have brought and never use because you might have thought it was something that you can come home and play with... But never found anything to do with it... If you do try my Challenge send me a link with your cards that you made...leave your link in my comments under this card... but remember you have to use the whole set together in one card or separate cards....Try my Challenge
I used Basic grey and Real Red SU CS, I colored the Pig with my crayon colored pencils that i love to use they are so soft... And for the embossing I used the spots and dots folder from cuttlebug... and white ribbon..

Teethless

Well It finally happened my teethless child... there is a funny story behind his losing his upper front tooth today... My husband and I are seating in our room talking, then we hear Mr. BG coming up, but crying... So I say "What Now!"... Well he comes in the room with his mouth semi bloody and trying to say that his older brother knocked his tooth looser.... So now I am looking at his mouth and his tooth is bleeding and dangling by a couple of roots... Well you know how men are so strong... I said "Hun Look at his tooth" his respond is "I saw it already" (Yeah right) ....
Well Mr. BG my child while his tooth is dangling and bleeding is telling me what happen and I am laughing (bad mommy) because he is trying to talk and every time he talks his tooth is moving... So I told my husband we are going to have to pull his tooth out ...it is dangling to much and he might swallow it... daddy says "it's okay, he well be fine" not even looking at his bloody child mouth... so I had to take charge of the situation... I took my child and I told him that tooth had to come out... and he asked how ...And I simply told him, tying a string around the tooth and pulling it out... he was all for it he said he was not going to stay like that.... so I am looking for a string and I guess I was taking to long so he grabbed the dental floss ... Okay my son has a brain ... well I tied the floss on his tooth... then it came to the moment of pulling and I couldn't do it... told daddy to do it... Daddy is not looking our way... then I hear a soft noise hit the floor and my baby boy took a hold of his string and pulled his own tooth out... and then he said "I did already"... And I am just looking at him in amazement ...So we went into the bathroom rinsed his mouth, rinsed his tooth, to get it ready for the tooth fairy ... and that is the End of the teethless child story... WOW! Thank You .... for reading my family moment....

Don't they look cute like that ? ....

Farm Fever

Well this is my second card I got to make today ... I was just trying to get some cards out that need to be sent to some friends... I made this one for a friend that her son just had Hip surgery...
About 3yrs ago, he got a staff infection in his back and the infection was so bad that it spread to his Hip bone... He had to have surgery 3yrs ago for it because the infection had weekended the Hip.... Well as the years past he has been having Hip problems and had surgery again... The surgery he just had will hopefully help him from having a Hip replacement at 17yrs old... The doctors told his mom that what they did this time might prevent him from not having a Hip replacement for the next 5yrs... I know my friend is under a lot of stress not only is she dealing with her sons well being... she works nights as a nurse and is going to school to finish her RN... and has to younger children that she tends too... But I know she also has a great support system with her DH and kids... I have her in my thoughts always... and because I know she has to be utterly exhausted ... I used the cow in Farm Fever... again used Pretty in Pink for the card and black CS with a black velvet ribbon...I colored the cow with crayon colored pencils which I love to use...

Eatser Sunday

Yesterday we went to the park it was a gorgeous day the weather was just beautiful... Well these are some of the pictures that I took while we were there... So that means I have to do a scrapbook page... this week....

Okay you got to see my daughter last week... this is a picture of my baby, my youngest son... Brett is 6yrs old and he is my baby and he knows it too... And he doesn't care that I still cradle him every once in while and call him my little baby boy... But I have a secret he is getting to heavy, to even sit on my lap... I have a problem with that... Were has time gone... to fast for me...

It is so funny he had one tooth loose, that fell out and then 4 more followed so all his front is either gone or loose...
