Groundhog Day!

Mel — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 02:30:34 +0000

Well, I guess ol’ Phil saw his shadow today. Not good news…I am ready to be warm. In celebration of the day (and our friend P’s bday) we made Groundhog Treats for afternoon snack. I saw the idea HERE and it originally came from HERE and did a little modification. I used pudding cups instead of cupcakes. Quick. Easy. Yummy. That’s a Nilla Wafer with a little melted chocolate chips for nose and mouth, sliced almonds for ears (adhered with said melted chocolate) and crushed Oreos sans the creamy stuffing for ‘dirt.’

The Daily Digi

I’m not sure how many of you know…but I also do some digital scrapbook designing. I am the lady behind The Hybrid Kid. I design digital scrapbook kits, hybrid projects, and printable learning activities for kids. I sell my digital designs exclusively at The Digi Chick and you can check out my shop here.

I’m so excited to be a sponsor this month at The Daily Digi. It’s an awesome site…not just for the digi goodies, but the articles, the team, and the amazing work that gets showcased! Every month they compile an awesome grab bag filled with digital kits and projects from 8 to 10 designers. You get digi goodies from all of the designers for just $5! It’s a great way to try out some new designers and to add to your digital stash.

I really love the project I completed for this month’s files. I can’t really tell you what it is…it will be revealed next week, I think. But I love the colors and the concept. And it’s useful…a plus in my book. I can show you the preview of the sneak peek, though…

December Birthday…

Mel — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 23:04:55 +0000

My daughter was born on December 20th. Not exactly prime birthday party season. This year, for her 7th, we decided to have the party really early. Mom translation…get it out of the way before the hustle and bustle-that way maybe it really feels like a birthday and not a pink-coated holiday celebration!

Her vision of a nice birthday party and my vision do not quite match up. I had visions of white cake plates and polka dot ribbon with little girls dressed in pinafores. Her version…glam ho. ug. We somehow compromised. She got to have the party at a really cool dress up/salon close by and I got to do all the invites and party favors. And we went with a SMALL guest list. Fair enough.

Forgive the bad inside pictures. FYI I did all the graphics, too. Who knows, maybe I’ll release it as a kit or some printables! Here’s what we did…

And here’s what we’re doing for the thank you note. I have a picture of each girl getting dolled up that I will put where the gray square is. Cute, huh?

December Freebie now available!

As some of you know, I write a feature for Woodlands Family Magazine every month. This month’s issue is available now in our local stores and restaurants…but if you’re not local, you can still check it the digital copy here. (I think my feature is around page 34 or so…) Each month I offer a free download to accompany the craft I make. This month I made a cute Countdown to Christmas. You can pick up your free download over in the sidebar and make your own!
