Extra entry if you tell me who your favorite nascar driver is?

My favorite driver is Carl Edwards, but I also like Dale Jr. and Denny Hamlin.  Actually Darryl Waltrip, Dale Jarrett and Jeff Gordon were my first favorite drivers, then Dale Jr.   But once Carl came into Nascar, he became my favorite.  I have had the chance to meet Carl twice and he is very sweet.  My layout is Dale Jr.  The first time I went to a Sprint Cup race was in 2006.  We went to Michigan International Speedway in June, and the pictures are from that race.  Now we go every year in June and August to Michigan.  



My 2nd project is paper mache letters I did for my best friend's son.  His initials are DJR and he is an avid Dale Jr. Fan.  So, I covered them with Dale Jr. paper.
My third project for today is these little deco squares I made for a swap I was in.  



Now, race on over to Liz and see the her creation she has made for the hop.  Please be sure to race on by tomorrow and take another lap around blog track with us again to see more crafty creations.

Then I cut a single crown slightly smaller from Glitter Pink Zebra Paper. I welded numbers 40 together and cut them from Fuchusia Sparkle Paper. I added some ribbon and flowers. Taa-dah, I have a birthday card for Nicole.





For the layout, I used Black Bling as the base. I cut two 5 in. stripes of the Recollections Glitter Pink Zebra Paper. I used Fuchsia Coordination’s to make 5 ½ x7 ½ mat and 2-4 ½ x 6 ½ mats.


I cut a crown with Simply Charmed from Recollections Fuchsia Sparkle Paper. I welded 40 together with the Gypsy and cut it from Recollections Glitter Pink Zebra Paper. I used Hannah Montana Cartridge to cut 1 ½ title letters and shadow letters from Black Bling and Recollections Fuchsia Sparkle Paper. I added some Ribbon and Flowers for finishing touches. Flowers for card and layout are from Recollections.

For my project today, I did both digital and traditional scrapbooking projects. These first six are digital pages  My Mom, My Grandparents and My Godmother/Aunt.  I am always doing a book about the hubby or the kids.  So, I decided to start this book with the first people in my life prior to my life with hubby and the kids.  I am still new at the digital thing, but My Memories is so easy.







I also did some traditional layouts  because I love traditonal hands on scrapbooking.  And I had to get some in of the kids, and my Mom again.

Have a great day and please stop back tomorrow for another great project.

I love DUCKS! I always wanted ducks, but unfortunately I have never lived on a farm. Still got time to get my farm and have my ducks! I take pictures of ducks all the time. Like this weekend during our little hike.

 Participating in this hop finally gave me the incentive to use the CTMH Duck Stamps I bought a couple years ago. And here are the results:








I made a set of five individual cards using the CTMH Duck stamps. I used TOMBO markers to color them, and then using my Creative Circle Cutter, I cut them out into circles, as well as cut two shades of blue glitter paper and white bling paper as mats. I found some old bubbles and rain drops embellishments I had laying around. I inked everything with a cat eye. I used pop dots to pop up a few of the bubbles.

Now, head on over to Beckie, to see her quackeriffic project she has to quack you up.
