Between that and the plague that has descended upon our house, unfortunately crafting has been pushed very low on the priority list.<\/p>\n<p>Em and I did make these little ladybug cards for her friends Kate and Chloe who both had birthdays last week. The girls were at Em&#8217;s party and have apparently become as obsessed as she has with the ladybug hunting. So we found some fun bug books for their adventures and used a bunch of my scrap paper for the ladybug tags.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_chloe.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1470\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_chloe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_kate.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1475\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_kate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>BUT my sweet friends were very good to me for my birthday and I have some fun new scrap stuff to play with!<\/p>\n<p>I have imposed a self restriction (since I&#8217;m a bit of a paper fiend) on buying any scrap materials.\u00a0 And it really isn&#8217;t just paper either, I have drawers of embellishments and the ribbon&#8230;my heavens, the ribbon drawer is ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, not only that, but we don&#8217;t have any really great scrap stores out here. No Archivers. (Oh, how I long for thee!) No Arnies.<\/p>\n<p>But leave it to my &#8220;peeps&#8221; to pull through for me. My friend Michelle gave me some very fun embellishes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_fun.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1471\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_fun.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How cute is the bikini one?!<\/p>\n<p>And my friend Kimmer sent me a packet with this fun included&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_fun2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1472\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_fun2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"307\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sticker letters are great and those are JEWELS! Hmmm&#8230;do you think I could possibly find some sort of girly photos to include those on? And she sent some amazing paper&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_fun3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1473\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_fun3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"317\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t see in the photo very well, but there is all kind of &#8220;bling&#8221; on these papers. The green paisley actually has glitter paisley and little jewels embedded on it. It is tied for my favorite paper. (Although I&#8217;m really into polka lots right now, too!) But the green is tied with my other favorite paper&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_fun4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1474\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/05\/crafty_fun4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"303\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yeah &#8211; brown, pink and cream. Three colors that look so yummy together! And check out the name of the paper &#8211; White Chocolate Bunnies. So appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s incredible how well Kimmer knows my style to be able to pick out paper that makes me so giddy, I want to run into my room and start scrapping immediately!<\/p>\n<p>So stay tuned for some good stuff with my new inspirations&#8230;I&#8217;m not even going to say maybe next week, but soon! Probably very soon because I can&#8217;t wait.\u00a0 How about anyone out there?
