Boo to You!

Good Afternoon!

I have a very quick post for you. I have to do 

this in between company! LOL! I decided at

the last minute I wanted to make my gkids a

matchbook card with hot chocolate inside!

I used an embossing folder and my sentiment is from 

holiday best. I mass produced these in about 45 min!

Here is the inside!

The kids will love these with a little candy on the side!

Have a great Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Because I Care

 

 Good Morning!

I have a quick post for today... Yes I'm late, I'm late... LOL!

Not late for work, not that my boss would care ( I'm the boss) (=

My card is a just because I wanted to make a card,card! My card

base is elegant eggplant layered with very vanilla and lap of luxury dp.

I couldn't remember the name of the dp, but I have a SU catalog on 

my desk.... who would have thought! My focal image is from

because I care. Well that's it for today! Have a super dooper great weekend!

Tag Your It!

Good Morning!

I have another stamp-A-stack card to share

with you today! 

I used the fun new set tags til Christmas as my focal

point. Card base is real red layered with very vanilla

and holly jolly dp. My sentiment is unknown... one I 

acquired somewhere along the way! I'm running late,

so that's it for today! Have a great day!

Christmas CASE!

Good Morning!

I have a Christmas Case card to share with you today!

This card was super simple and really fun to create!

I CASED this card.

I changed the layout a little, and the sentiment. and the colors, 

but the original idea is still there. We are making this card as one

of our stamp-A-stack designs. I cut and embossed 36 of these

babies! I think the girls will like it! That's it for me today!
I forgot to mention Selma has some awesome candy!

Have a great day!

Snicker, Snicker

Good Morning,
I have a monochromatic SB page to share today! It's pretty simple. We always make a 6x6 page with a recipe at club . The hostess is responsible to provide the recipe. We are assembling quite a nice combination of recipes in our little book. This is our
2nd year doing this. It's really pretty fun! Sorry this is short and sweet today.... so much to do, so little time! Have a great day!

Punch it OUT!

Good Morning,
Hi Mary Anne.... I'm here now! Sorry for being late! I worked my reg. job yesterday, did stamp club and then went to my part time job. I just couldn't squeeze my post in ;=(  Will you forgive me Mary Anne? Please oh please!

Ok onto my card. We made this one last night at club. It was pretty simple. I used punch potpourri for my images. Crumb cake is the card base layered with daffodil delight, night of navy and whisper white.

That's it for me today.... I promise to have me post up bright and early tomorrow!

Fluttering By!

Good Morning!
     I am trying to post at a more "normal" time so I don't mess Mary Anne up! You see I've been a little off my game and just posting hap haphazardly. When Mary Anne comes to take a look see there is nothing new.... then she comes back later and everyone else has already been here. So I am setting my post so it comes up first thing... I don't want Mary Anne to think I am avoiding her LOL!
    Taeler, Tukker and Kylah were totally surprised with their Dad being home! Grinning from ear to ear. They follow him around like little lost puppies! Sooooo cute!
     Ok back to my card! My base is whisper white layered with cajun craze and more whisper white! This is an all purpose card... would work for any occasion!

Northern Hearts

 Good Morning!

Taeler and I had a blast yesterday.  She stayed in

my craft room and colored most of the day! We 

are stopping at her house when I take her to school...

she has no idea her dad is home. Jami had to pick him

up in the Seattle area yesterday. Seattle is 6hrs away.

Daniel will go to school and pick up the other 2 kids

this afternoon. This boy is the glue that anchors this

family. He was going to pick Taeler up too but she

is homesick and needs to see her mom before school!

I am really happy with how this card turned out! I used

the new set northern hearts from SU... LOVE IT! My

dp is holiday joy. I am entering in these challenges:

City Crafter challenge wings

Sweet Stampin Challenge ribbon

That's it for today! See you tomorrow!

Spooky ,Spoky Spiders....

Good Sunday Morning Friends!

Has anyone missed me? That crummy cold caught

me! I swear I blew the mojo right out my nose...seriously!

My gdaughter Taeler is here spending the night. She doesn't

know it but her mom is on her way to pick up her dad . He

is coming home for good from the marines. We have club

on Tuesday evening and I thought I would make a little

Halloween treat for the ladies. 

Taeler and I punched and assembled these in about an

hour. Their bodies are peppermint patties. You know 

anything with patti in it has to be yummy... right?

I saw these spiders here, and had to give them a try.

They are so cute and fun to make! Hope you have a 

super creative day. Taeler and I are going to stamp the 

day away!

Beautiful Sunrise.... Or is it a Sunset?

Good Morning!

Good Morning!

I hope all is well with you out there in cyber space!

This is my Sunday.... that means laundry, vaccuming, 

scrubbing toilets ;-( Speaking of toilets my cat keep using

my flower garden as a litter box... any suggestions on what

I can use to keep her out? Short of killing her!

Ok onto my card... My base is riding hood red layered with whisper white and washington apple dp. My sentiment is from echoes of kindness. I flipped the Mojo sketch to work with my sentiment. Off to stick my head over a pan of boiling water and vicks to kill this cold that's trying to catch me!

Have a great day!

had me fill out a questionnaire and

 Don't you just love the header?

You did a beautiful job! 

Artful INKables!

Good Morning!

Did the weekend fly by or what! Holy molly.... seems

like I didn't have any time off! My card today is done

with Artful INKables "Peaceful Wishes". I LOVE this set!

I double stamped my image by using the plastic sheet

from my stampin-ma- jig. I stamped the image on the 

sheet and then turned it over and rubbed it on my scene.
Michelle Zindorf uses this technique! She is so wonderful!

I then had to color it in. I love how it turned out! Pop over

to Artful INKables and check out the store. Lot's of great

stamp sets are on clearance. You still have a week to join

in the current Think Ink challenge! 

That's it for me today...back to work )0;

Good Afternoon!

I'm back with a card for Magical Monday. 

Nina sent the past designers a free image of

their choice for national card making day! She

is such a sweetheart and so generous! Well I

thought the least I could do is enter in the challenge

since I'm not on the DT anymore! She has some

super cute new images over at Paper Cupcakes!

You should go take a look and play along with the

challenge!

I loved this image the second I saw it! So precious!

That's it for today! See you tomorrow with my Artful

INKables post!

Good Morning!

I got to play Mojo Monday.... Yay!  This card is Mo-better

than yesterday's :*)  I'm much happier!

I used "Of the Earth" for my focal image. My card base

 is elegant eggplant layered with whisper white and dp

is basic gray. Well I hope to get to play a lot today after

I run to CDA to pick up supplies. What I wouldn't give for

a consistent sales rep! Maybe I should apply for his job! LOL!

Have a great day!

Happy Anniversery Jugs

Good Evening!

When I saw Mary Anne's card for JUGs I just had to play!

Her creation is over the top gorgeous! My card doesn't even

compare! I created an "all " purpose card in fall colors! Not

so happy with how it turned out but it is what it is!

Really I think it's the color combo I don't like, and the 

dp and the ugly flower in the corner.... other than that it's

fine! OH WELL I got to play and maybe it started my mojo

up! My card base is pumpkin pie layered with whisper white 

green house gala dp. My image is from a really old SU set called

toile blossoms. Well hope to see you in the morning with some kind

of challenge card! I'm kinda lost with only one day devoted to DT work!

Have a great day! 

~Hugs~
