Happy Sunday! This seemed like a good card to share today since I enjoyed talking (or texting) to lots of my family members yesterday! It's another card I made at the scrapping retreat, using goodies from the September 2009 Scarlet Lime kit. Kudos to Beverly and me for finally breaking into some kits and using them! The card base is Stampin' Up! Naturals Ivory...recently fell in love with this color again!Hope you are having a great weekend! I'm heading to a fun baby shower this afternoon...even more fun because baby Sophia is already here so we can play with her! We have another fun surprise too (better not share that in case Sophia's mom is reading!), but I'll have pictures to share later!Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
Happy Tuesday night! Here's a swap card I made...I was even brave and tried some watercoloring! lol! This is my prototype, so it was a little bit sloppier than the actual swap cards ...at least I hope the actual swap cards were a little better! Just a simple little card with some stitching, ya know I love the stitching!Hope all is well out in your world! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!RecipeStamps: Just Beclause
Cardstock: Kraft, Bashful Blue.
Ink: Staz-on Brown, Real Red marker, White craft ink.

Happy Tuesday! I overslept, so here's a quick post without a lot of chit chat...very hard for me! lol!I made this card during our Scrapbooking Retreat. When I showed dh his eyes got SO round and he was speechless...this is a little busier than my usual style, and a little too busy for him! lol!The "Merry Christmas" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and there's more of that yummy SU flocked paper. I also used the new Petals-a-Plenty textured impressions folder with my Big Shot on that white piece. Aren't those flowers yummy? This misc. flowers and pins are from a Scarlet Lime kit and the houndstooth button (swoon!) is Jenni Bowlin. Let me know if you have any other questions.Hope you have a great Tuesday! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
Happy Saturday...again! Luckily when I was checking out Amy's blog, I was reminded about M's Challenge (I lifted her darling photo!) and tonight was the deadline! So I whipped this little card up. Seeing the Rusty Pickle Costume Party ribbon package inspired me...love those black pom poms and orange torn fabric ribbon! I even splurged and cut into that yummy black and white paper from the SU mini catalog, yummm! Add a few Thickers, and voila!Hope you're having a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
Happy Saturday! Here's a super simple dimple card, probably too simple but I'm sharing it anyway! hee! hee! I had a scrap of that yummy flocked paper from the SU mini catalog, and I couldn't let it go to waste, so I used the snowflake punch. Add a a button and voila, simple dimple card!Hope you're all doing well and had a great week! I have so much to do, trying not to freak out on the inside! lol! I did survive yesterday...the 2nd graders made volcanoes with eruptions, schwooo! We have a 3 hour block on Fridays to do more complicated experiments, but I'm so tired by Fridays, I was worried. Plus, the kids get SO excited, it's a little scary! ha! But they were good and it turned out well. If you wanna know how much I love them...the experiment requires VINEGAR, and my friends know how I am about "smells" and I HATE vinegar. The whole classroom reeked! lol! Hopefully it'll all be aired out by Monday!Ta Ta for now! Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
Hi peeps! I tried to get home from school in time to take a photo outside, and as you can see, I was pushing it! And it rains practically everyday in Dallas now, which isn't helping! lol! Plus, I took one of my desk lamps to school earlier this year, so it's very difficult to get enough light for a good inside shot too. Maybe I'll have top break down and get a lightbox one of these days! Okay, enough whining, lol!Here's one of my scrapping retreat cards made with the Just Beclause set. The Santa was on a rejected card, so I punched out part of him with the large oval punch. Don't you love the River Rock? It really grows on me more and more! I also love coloring in accents on dark cardstock with White Craft ink and a blender pen. I just dip it right in the craft ink, so easy and effective! That's my kind of watercoloring! lol! Hope your week is going well! I laid down for a quick nap again last night at 6:30 and woke up at 9:30! Yikes! Now I need to get some papers graded and work on next week's lesson plans, but I am feeling soooo sleepy! ha! Wish me luck! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
Hiya peeps! Yes, it's really me with a post...just 2 days after the last one, a miracle! Just check my Google stats, I'm down to .9 posts per week! Aye yi yi! But no worries, I got enough cards made at my scrapbook retreat to tide me over for a little while! No, not 40 cards (whose crazy *ss goal was that, anyways?!), but enough for awhile! lol!So, here is one. This is the first card I made at the retreat once I got unloaded and set up. I drank one small margarita (my only one all weekend actually!), made this card, then took a 2 hour nap. Ahhh, the good life! I finally got to use my Twick or Tweet stamp set, LOVE this one! I think I need to color the pumpkins in some more, you know watercoloring is not my strength! lol!Okay, I better check on some school stuff and make sure I'm ready for Monday morning, sigh. I had such a great time at the retreat with my girlfriends, oh how I've missed them lately! Why does it have to go by so quickly?! I hope y'all had a great weekend too! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
Hola chicas! I'm making cards! Yeehaw! We arrived at our scrapbooking retreat yesterday afternoon around 2:00, and I've been card-making ever since...well, when I haven't been sleeping, eating, drinking, or having a massage! lol!I had to get a card done for Laura's Sketch #36 over at 2S4Y! I have always done their sketches regularly, so I've really been missing them! I have to make time for some stamping I've decided. If my students only reach 90% of their ability instead of 100%, so be it. Just kidding! I'll give up something else...like cleaning or laundry!Okay, back to the card. I didn't get too creative, just pretty much an exact copy of the sketch, but with yummy Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly, it was super easy! For the sentiment strip at the bottom of the card, I cut it right off the bottom one of the sheets of paper, how economical, huh?!Okay, off to more producing. My goal is 40 cards and I've only got 4 done so far. I know, I know, so much for a relaxing weekend, but one MUST have goals, right?! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
Hey peeps! Long time, no see! Hope you are all doing well! I just remembered that I had one extra Just Beclause card that I didn't use on my Catty Cruise post last week, so here it is! It's another one-layer card, this one done in Very Vanilla.School is going well, I really do have the best class. They do say the cutest things, but unfortunately, I'm so exhausted I can never seem to remember them! lol! I need to start writing them down. I've been fighting some type of head cold/gunk thing for two weeks, but so far have avoided the dreaded flu, unlike dozens of other teachers and students at our two schools. I'm taking next Friday off and heading off to a scrapbooking retreat, so I'm super excited about that! I plan on making a HUGE stash of cards so I'll be prepared to share up until Thanksgiving break! Hee!Take care and thanks for stopping by and hanging with me on my very sporadic posting! Hugs and happy stamping!!
