Winnie the Pooh and Baby Too!!

  Hi Blog Family,

I hope that this post finds you all well!

 Life for me has been busy as usual; however, I've managed to find a little "Me Time" in all our family mayhem.

Recently I attended a baby shower for a family friend whose nursey theme will be Winnie the Pooh. At the last minute I decided to purchase the Pooh diaper bag but I couldn't find anything to go inside soooo... Vinyl and MTC to the rescue.

In a hurry I was able to create a few cute little personalized items for Baby Christopher.

Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Long time no see... Recent projects!

 OMG, I cannot believe four months has gone by since I have last updated my blog...

Where did the time go?

I tell you it seems like the summer months were a complete blur; between travel basketball, cheerleading competitions, work, family vacations, and general family things I haven't had much "free" time . I have been crafting, just not posting ( I know sad excuse for a blogger). So let me catch you guys up on a few things...

 In July, I attended my first ever swarm and it was AWESOME!!! The swarm was hosted by Sista's Scrap TOO in Jasper, GA where I got to meet the most fabulous group of crafty people... I had a ton of fun and didn't want the weekend to end, I cannot wait to do it all over again. I've joined a couple of swaps which is something I NEVER do, I'll be sure to post a picture once my projects are delivered. I've been getting more familar with my new DSLR and I LOVE it...

So on to some recent projects... I hope I don't give you all picture overload.

My youngest son's basketball team was invited to the USBA Nat'l Tournament in Myrtle Beach over the summer so I made us all t-shirts using HTV, MTC and files that I found on google :

I've always loved the Smurfs, so imagine my happiness when the movie was announced!  I just had to make a tumbler with my two favorite characters. Anywho, I used outdoor vinyl, MTC, a coloring book page for Gargamel and the smurfette svg was found online ( sorry I cannot remember the owner)

These next two layouts are my most recent projects.

I have challenged myself to create at least two full page layouts per month for my family. So far I'm on target and find that I actually enjoy working with paper, now I just need to get the pictures printed.

Hittin' the books.

I used MTC, files found on-line and svgcuts.com kit to complete this lo. The apple and chalkboard were created using chalkboard vinyl!

The Micheal Jackson Experience...

Earlier this year my husband and I hosted a Wii party... OMG, we had a ton of fun and our guests couldn't stop laughing and talking about the party. I knew that I had to create a lo to capture these memories, I cannot wait to add the pictures. I used MTC and images found in google and online, an assortment of glittery cardstock and print and cut for the lp albums.

That's all for now, I promise to post again soon! Hugs

Monogrammed Cake Carriers

This month has been super busy for Nubian Crafter Designs in a good way!!!

Orders have been coming in almost daily, and I have gotten an opportunity to create some really cute custom items ( If I may say so).

The cake carriers were a custom order for a bridal shower and Mother's Day gift... (from what I hear, both recipients loved them)!!!

2011 Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Hi Bloggers,

The past week I have been super busy preparing teacher appreciation gifts.

This year my kids have a great group of teachers who deserve to be appreciated daily.Our teachers do an amazing job and I cannot thank them enough!!!

 I wanted our TAP gift to be useful and something that the teachers would enjoy. My ideas were all over the place and I couldn't seem to focus on a central theme ( that's what I get for blog hopping). Anywho, using the ideas from several blogs I was able to put together a few items that I hope our teachers will enjoy. In total I created 15 TAP gifts ( not all teachers received a gift basket).

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Paper Bag Mini Album..

Hi Bloggers,

Long time no chat... I'd like to apologize for the absence, once again life got in the way and I haven't had any free time to enjoy my hobbies... Anywho, Island V over on the SST forum of the cricut mb started a mini album swap ( thanks Island). The mini was supposed to be a love theme and specific to our swap partner. Now, I've only created one other mini before and it was very basic (not swap worthy for sure) soooo after hours of blog hopping and checking out tutorials I settled on a mini album tutorial from Kathy @ Paper Phenomenon  . Why on earth I choose this mini out of all the mini's that I came across is beyond me... I think I let my Sistas ( you know who you are) hype me up into thinking it would be a breeze:-). So here it is, I didn't take pics of every page or of all the interaction but you will get the jest. Thanks for looking!!
