I of course chose the 4 colors and did 4 different back grounds using the this technique. Full disclosure, I use this technique ALOT! Its fun to mix and match the colors, and it makes such interesting backgrounds!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.laurafadora.com/" target="_blank">LauraFadora</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love Laura and her fun videos. "Dimension is LIIIIIIFE!!!" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, She often does backgrounds by taking strips of paper and gluing them down to make patterns. So, I did that!

Part 3 - 3D Printing<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last year, 2020, we purchased a 3D printer, with the initial use would be to print masks and face shield parts to donate for the medical community. We had always wanted one, but never really knew much about them. But, lots of people who had one were also printing stuff to help out, so we went ahead and got one. We printed out masks and face shield parts for a few weeks, and were glad we could help out in some small way.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We then played around with our printer, enjoying the fun stuff we could do, printing things to help Dean, things to play with, and all that. Then, after about 8 months, it clogged. The feeder tube stopped feeding the filament, and it no longer worked. We knew we needed to take apart the thing to see if we could fix it, but we "never got around to it". Fast-forward to September 2021, we asked a friend who we know has a printer to print some Mando weapons for us since ours was broken. He is a nice guy and of course offered to do that, and offered some suggestions to fix the old printer we have. Well, we decided to give up on that and bought a NEW PRUSA 3D printer, and the quality of this thing is awesome! We told our friend we got a new one and could print the guns, so we were off! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6DKH1KCv3-0dBTCMHJufhr9PGTD4PZ1H01S74mDxYqwtStt_HH-YFz2DWj44JWf-oYhyphenhyphenqpwgQqePx4-k97sigFzAubaz92uiWiNkovgoq5mbZXelKP9dhaeTcfD4xXynEHbAN1jf2t2_M/s4032/20210928_060502.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="1908" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6DKH1KCv3-0dBTCMHJufhr9PGTD4PZ1H01S74mDxYqwtStt_HH-YFz2DWj44JWf-oYhyphenhyphenqpwgQqePx4-k97sigFzAubaz92uiWiNkovgoq5mbZXelKP9dhaeTcfD4xXynEHbAN1jf2t2_M/s320/20210928_060502.jpg" width="151" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT3o4GbcHDvsa7DufGcgBjGiKbP5m-eY4fTvhQhmXsonofalry44LuztZNpWDVacEmKUrTKg9GYYkepKefuAYr1FjYDrKCPHRLMhyjM3oPpGhiRGRE8tlc0jnssjbRMxEbkSy79agcplHP/s4032/20210928_175350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="1908" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT3o4GbcHDvsa7DufGcgBjGiKbP5m-eY4fTvhQhmXsonofalry44LuztZNpWDVacEmKUrTKg9GYYkepKefuAYr1FjYDrKCPHRLMhyjM3oPpGhiRGRE8tlc0jnssjbRMxEbkSy79agcplHP/s320/20210928_175350.jpg" width="151" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip40NZrwvrzKwVH63npsHhSuZoIi6riephG8XyTXtGNtvwmSP0BmSR8CxUgovuBvBUqc8NA3olTQIo7gufMxAhDpOyKpXGWnoh1-jBbB0bC3L-B2NK32g_EYnER1OXVvSzQL7ueN5fQA64/s4032/20210929_083236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="1908" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip40NZrwvrzKwVH63npsHhSuZoIi6riephG8XyTXtGNtvwmSP0BmSR8CxUgovuBvBUqc8NA3olTQIo7gufMxAhDpOyKpXGWnoh1-jBbB0bC3L-B2NK32g_EYnER1OXVvSzQL7ueN5fQA64/s320/20210929_083236.jpg" width="151" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is Mando's "Amban phase-pulse blaster" (I had to look that up).

HOWEVER I feel I'm close and getting better every year!<div><br /></div><div>This year I talked my guys (my son Jake and his friend Liam) into being The Mandalorian (Din Djarin) and Boba Fett. I of course will be Cara Dune. And Liam's sister Missy into being Fennec Shand! It works because Missy's dad loves that character. Long story short, I told them I would make the costumes. This is a HUGE effort, but completely Awesome!</div><div><br /></div><div>We started off by researching helmet patterns and how to do this thing.

I was hooked on the first season, and delighted to show my son as well, and the 2nd season was even better! Anyway, I just love Grogu! He's the cutest!!! So, when I found <a href="https://ink-road-stamps.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Ink Road Stamps</a> and saw that they have the child in not 1 but 2 sets, I couldn't wait to order and use them. She also has a sentiments set for Star Wars. I had to have that one too.</p><p>Speaking of the Mandalorian, my favorite scene from season one was when Mando met Cara Dune, and they fought in the alley evenly matched, and at the height of it, the child walks out of the café with some soup, and watches them. Mando asks Cara "You want some soup" as the child takes a sip. Just perfect! AND, of course there's an image of the child and the soup cup in the stamp set.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3KHHRsU9EpHGy63WtlEqZTUlHX6XpMYbzPq8gNL385BhQfAtfEsbtiXb-p5w_-V02oL0wvO0BLxJeqe9KJbA_RadmuN92Uj9SW-nNNOKdLYeZerK3LqX4J3lBjr-VofXKQFqETbHQpj9N/s2321/20210823_110439.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1908" data-original-width="2321" height="329" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3KHHRsU9EpHGy63WtlEqZTUlHX6XpMYbzPq8gNL385BhQfAtfEsbtiXb-p5w_-V02oL0wvO0BLxJeqe9KJbA_RadmuN92Uj9SW-nNNOKdLYeZerK3LqX4J3lBjr-VofXKQFqETbHQpj9N/w400-h329/20210823_110439.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Stamps "Baby on Board" Ink Road Stamps</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alphabet stamps for the soup title</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">AWESOME Star Wars paper from Sandy Lion</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Copic markers for coloring</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Washi tape</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The copics on grogu's robe - E33 and E00 BOTH decided to run out of ink while coloring for these cards!

It was on low quality 110lb cardstock and just didn't look good at all! The ink did not blend well, or even hold the color well, the white cardstock die cuts lifted well, but I just don't like the ink blending.

Don't you?<p>It's been a while since my last post, but I'm trying to start doing more card designs and crafts to share. So, Hang on Tight, it may get bumpy here and there!</p><p>I recently found a wonderful stamp resource that I want to share! It's called <a href="https://ink-road-stamps.myshopify.com/collections/stamps" target="_blank">Ink Road Stamps</a>. Have you heard of it? It's a nice small business out of a small town in Texas (kinda like me!) and they have the most amazing stamps! A warning, there are some adult theme stamps and phrases, so be careful when opening, don't want the little ones around. </p><p>One of their recent stamp sets was <a href="https://ink-road-stamps.myshopify.com/products/musical-decade-vol-2-new-release-preorder?_pos=4&_sid=553a1b692&_ss=r" target="_blank">Musical Decades 2</a> (I missed the first one since it retired, but has since <a href="https://ink-road-stamps.myshopify.com/products/musical-decade-vol-1-restock-preorder?_pos=5&_sid=553a1b692&_ss=r" target="_blank">come back</a> and I snagged it too!) which is a sentiment stamp set of only 80s pop song lyrics! How totally rad is that?? So, I got this idea to go down the stamp set one by one and do a card inspired by the song lyric. </p><p>Please enjoy this walk down 80s music (which lets face it is the BEST) memory lane...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqTPo-czlfsubBT_5n8uEaUjyMjP1klDkYyWX1XagUd6egNPmytcVwjzQzjgjwyNjf2ufqU60ALWJSza4oCRTWbvHrt4gHjAXKm_P9JZnXq3VSzQrYJP_I6T_H00rx0SJGPc6L4-OoLT7/s2342/20210625_080551.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1419" data-original-width="2342" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqTPo-czlfsubBT_5n8uEaUjyMjP1klDkYyWX1XagUd6egNPmytcVwjzQzjgjwyNjf2ufqU60ALWJSza4oCRTWbvHrt4gHjAXKm_P9JZnXq3VSzQrYJP_I6T_H00rx0SJGPc6L4-OoLT7/w640-h388/20210625_080551.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>All of the following Sentiments are from Musical Decades 2.

HOWEVER, my Family reunion was last weekend, and for the silent auction I donated hand made cards, and I worked on these for about 2 weeks! This was the only thing broght in for the auction, and our Treasurer liked them so much, she bought them! YES!<br />

Card Making is something new to me,and I do love doing it, but my first love is to the pictures. So, for my birthday, my husband surprised me beyond my wildest dreams when he got me my new toy<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was hesitant to want one of the newest machines that Cricut was coming out with. Mainly that you always need to have an internet connection to even use this. And, as I just found out, unless I'm not doing it right, you can ONLY use cartridges that you have linked to your account, you cannot use a cartridge that is not linked to your account. I find this strange, because it's a physical cartridge, you should be able to use it, but that's another story. This was found out because I'm having trouble linking one of my newest cartridges because it says it's already linked but it was new when I got it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BUT, the best part about this pretty mint green machine, is that I can cut images from my own computer as well as my system fonts. Check out what I've cut out so far that I don't have cartridges for!</div>

Nothing fancy, nothing flashy, just what I'm doing with my Scrapbooking and my newest hobby, Card Making! I have a few things to show you now, but I'll get this thing going and do some cool stuff.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I'll get better at product description and pictures in future posts. For now, here's what I've been doing</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my cricut for this one! Mickey and Friends and Micky Font</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The silhouettes of the parks were pieced together mostly from shapes from the Disney carts and misc shapes. The tree is also all cricut, and the ornaments and lights were cut in heavy white card stock and then colored with Copics. Turned out so awesome that I did the gifts that way too! Saves time looking for all the paper in the right colors!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope to be back sharing my crafty side soon! And, i'll probably throw some family news and happenings along the way too. </div>

Our decision - Take Jake to Walt Disney World the 1st week of December for his Birthday! And, as the Holiday season will be in full force, we will also get to see all the Great Christmas stuff in WDW I've always wanted to see!<br />
<br />
So, it's only February, why are we planning already and have since January? Because you MUST! That's why! There's a bunch to consider, a bunch to plan, and a bunch to get all worked up about. I'm trying to find that balance of having fun planning and knowing that not all plans will work, but some unexpected things will happen, both good and bad! We have already picked the dates and will be staying at 1 of 2 resorts depending on availability, so it's time to gather information.<br />
<br />
I have started off with making my WDW Planner, that will double after the trip for Jake's very own scrapbook of the trip. I wanted to have something simple, that looked good and that I could easily customize, so I did what I thought and swore I'd never do. I bought an 8 1/2 x 11 3 ring binder scrapbook - a SN@P! album from Simple Stories. I am a CM scrapbook girl, and I was highly disappointed about all the changes CM / Ahni to Zoe did this last year, making it really hard to get the one album type that I LOVE. I HATE POST BOUND AND 3 RING BINDERS for Scrapbooks! YUCK! But, with this, pages going in and out, I thought it would be okay. We shall see....<br />
<br />
Anyway, this is what I got...<br />
I actually saw at Michael's a SN@P! binder that was 8 1/2 x 11, which is what I was looking for, but I don't think they are available anymore. I almost got the 8x6, but I wanted to just print out stuff on my computer and put in in the binder.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.simplestories.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/products/4000.jpg?itok=ALqJPf0A" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.simplestories.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/products/4000.jpg?itok=ALqJPf0A" height="320" width="231" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.simplestories.com/product/6x8-snp-binder-red" target="_blank">Simple Stories SN@P! Album - red</a></div>
<br />
And, this is where I got my ideas and downloads to get the binder together. I'm changing it up a bit, and once I get it finished, I'll post all the goodies here.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am changing up the dividers. The link above goes a little more granular than I want, separating dining as it's own category, I'm going to put it in the parks sections/other section since we will be dining mostly in the parks anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are my dividers I'm going to do:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>General - travel plans, "best/worst" charts, daily trip planning, packing lists, etc</li>
<li>Hotel - Maps, contact information, Magic Bands, etc</li>
<li>Park section - each park will have it's own section which will include park hours, dining options, what we want to do here, FastPass+ tips</li>
<ul>
<li>Magic Kingdom</li>
<li>Epcot</li>
<li>Animal Kingdom</li>
<li>Hollywood Studios</li>
</ul>
<li>Other - this will include stuff for Downtown Disney, extra activities, etc</li>
</ul>
<div>
It should be fun getting this all together! I've already started printing out and reading all about the FastPass+ system. However, there are so many tips and suggestions on how to use this wonderful thing called FastPass+ it's a little overwhelming, and you start to get worried you will do it wrong and nobody will have any fun, and then....take a breath... it will be alright and everybody will have fun. Really. They will!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again, this is the hardest part about planning. There are some people that so over plan this that they forget they need to enjoy it too! I want to do as much planning as we know whats going on, but I don't want the plans SET IN STONE because not all plans work. I just hope we get a good reservation at a restaurant. You have to make them 6 months in advance. Yes, I said 6 months! And, they fill up fast. I'm just hoping we at least get a reservation! Last time we called 6 months in advance and all we could get in the parks was at Hollywood Studios at the SiFi Drive in Diner at 5 pm, which was awesome, but we also had late lunch plans that day so we were not too hungry at 5 pm. Oh well, it was fun!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh, and apparently, the wait for Anna and Elsa in the magic Kingdom is generally 5 hours. Yes, I said 5 hours. Can you freakin imagine?? I so hope Jake won't be disappointed he doesn't get to see them, and I'm hoping seeing all the other characters are enough!<br />
<br />
We are also trying to focus on "non-princess" things to do, and we have read about some great games and suggestions for the boy to enjoy. <br />
<br />
Anyway, let's plan!<br />

We had a very low key vacation this years since we couldn't travel to the Ranch. We all missed going down there, and hope to get there soon. We didn't do much for New Years Eve but we watched the Dick Clark's Rockin Eve with Ryan Seacrest, then we had to try to keep Buddy calm from 8pm until about 1am with all the fireworks. HE HATES FIREWORKS!</div>

Here's to a happy and prosperous new year! 2014 was a difficult year, especially the last half which you all know and followed me thru all the crazy posts, some I barely believe happened!<br />
<br />Daynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17809495776935075901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429105322187760911.post-34928580401181534072015-01-30T08:08:00.000-08:002015-01-30T08:08:22.876-08:00Jake is OMG FOUR YEARS OLD!My baby boy is growing up! He is so smart, funny, and a joy to be around (well 90% of the time anyway). Since we had so much going on last month with Dean coming home right before Thanksgiving, we did an "easy way" out. We went to ...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Chuck E. Cheese!!!</span></div>
<br />
It was really quite a good time! There are something like 10 tables the length of the party area, and each kid gets one table length. Each table ate at then same time. Then had the birthday song sung and candles blown out at the same time while Chuck was walking around. IT WAS GREAT! Caos! But GREAT!<br />
<br />
I made a Captain America cake, and the two tables next to us were spider man and Batman theme, so we were the super hero section!<br />
<br />
Jake also got to do the ticket booth, where you stand in the booth and tickets and ticket vouchers fly around you. It was loud so he didn't do it for the whole 30 seconds, he only grabbed 4 or so tickets. HOWEVER, the 100 ticket voucher landed on his head! But, he looked down and it fell of. Really funny.<br />

Now, we are trying to get most of our shopping done online,and filling in when we can in the stores, and getting ready for Jake's Birthday! We are doing the Chuck E. Cheese birthday package, so lets hope it's fun!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The best news is we are going to SLOWLY be getting Dean up and around the house starting soon. We are taking it slow because he has an appointment in mid January to get a new cushion for his chair which we feel the old one is what caused all this stuff in the first place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm also glad to report that Dean is really glad to be home, and he's feeling really great.</div>

I also got a chance to put up some Christmas Decorations! I have a long term agreement with Dean that I will wait until after Thanksgiving to put our tree up, BUT, he agreed that I can put up my nutcrackers and my nativity scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have 55 nutcrackers and counting. Do I need more? YES, do I want more? YES!!!</div>

We have 4 of these reindeer. We thought they were small, the box was small, but everything was tucked inside the body! They are taller than Jake!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And, just a quick <b>update on Dean</b>. He's doing great! He's enjoying his time home and getting back to the normal swing of things. He still has some recovery to do, but so far things have gone very well. He will be up and rolling soon! Please pray for continued healing and strength!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Please pray for our service men and women serving away from their family's. </div>

Thank you for all you do for us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please think of everybody who has to spend the holidays in a hospital bed. And pray that they have nurses and staff who care and take care of them properly and that they have visitors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so thankful for friends and family for all the support I've had these last few months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am grateful Jake, my wonderful son, who really took care of me as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And to his courageous birth parents who I think of every day as I look into their faces every time I look at Jake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am thankful that my awesome husband Dean was able to come home before the holidays and spend some much needed time with his family. </div>
