Happy Wednesday! I managed to get up when the alarm went off today, schwooo! I don't know why this year I've started turning it off and continuing to sleep! Ugh! I set the alarm on my iPhone as an emergency back-up now and put it across the room! Smart thinking, huh?!Here's another SU Leadership Conference sample, and I actually branched out of my *simple* stamping and did a *technique*! ha! I stamped the Vintage Label image in Versamark ink on Watercolor Paper, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Lastly, I watercolored the Rich Razzleberry ink on top of it with my Aquapainter. I think it's called Emboss Resist? Maybe? And miracle of all miracles, I used some Very Vanilla hodgepodge hardware that I hoard terribly! Okey dokey, I better skedaddle...I thought I would try to actually fix my hair today since dh said it looked "interesting" when I got home from work last night. Doh! The unpredictability of naturally curly hair, sigh. Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!RecipeStamps: Vintage Labels

Can I just tell you that I'm SO glad next Monday is a holiday already?! hee!I used the new Sale-a-Bration set Vintage Labels again.

Happy Sunday! Hope y'all had a super weekend. I don't know how they go by so fast! I still have some school stuff to work on for tomorrow, but thought I would post this real quick-like! ;-)This photo is not the best, it was taken inside late at night, of course, as the leadership samples deadline loomed near, ha! I used the Big Shot and the Fancy Favor box die, just modifying it by punching a 1 3/4" circle in the front and lining it with a transparency sheet. I tucked a little cello bag full of Skittles inside. I'm sure everyone thinks "Skittles" when they think "new home gift"! ha! I had bought a pretty little glass candle to put inside, but it didn't fit, so I had to fall back on plan B, c'est la vie!Enjoy your evening! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Friday! I've been home with migraine all day, up and trying to recover now, so even though the day didn't start like this, I think it's safe to say "Happy Friday" now! lol! Hope my kiddos had a good day, I don't like to leave them unexpectedly!Thought I should post another quick card before I head back to the sofa (and a night of dvds with dh), so here ya go, another SU leadership conference display card. This one uses the new SAB set Good Neighbors, my FAVORITE! I've always loved house and furniture stamps, probably going back to my interior design days, and this one is a combination solid image stamps and outline stamps (for those who love to water-color), how perfect! I wish it had some sentiments or a coordinating sentiment set, but for now I used the "best wishes" from the Vintage Label set. Okay, dh just woke up from his Friday night nap and wants me to order pizza, how can I say no...guess it's my night to "cook"! lol! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Oh my word! It's only Thursday?! Can I make it until Friday?! =)Here's another display card for the SU Leadership Conference. I used the new Sell-a-Bration set Happy Moments. Y'all know I'm not a water-colorer, so this was a stretch for me! lol!Okay, off in search of major caffeine...! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday! We've made it to hump day! How can I be so ready for Friday already?! Anybody else with me?!This little card (4 1/4" x 4 1/4") is one of my display samples for the SU Leadership Conference, and it's made with one of the new Stampin' Up! Sell-a-Bration sets called Vintage Label. It's a great set of frame stamps, and this one works perfectly with the Curly Label punch. I twisted some linen thread around a mini brad to make a little flower, pretty simple. I got this color combo from a list of SU recommendations, and I loved it!That's it for now...in desperate need of coffee! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!

Happy Tuesday! I survived back-to-school Monday, although I did have to take a 2 hour nap when I got home! lol!I really hoped to "stamp" last night, but that didn't happen, so here's another "scrappy" card from the crop Saturday. I used some Sassafrass Lass goodies (that I've been known to hoard) and some super yumm-o ribbon. I think tomorrow starts the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference and then I'll be able to share a lot of samples I made for the display boards using new Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration goodies!Gotta run, set my alarm wrong...Freudian, perhaps?...luckily dh caught it with just a 15 minute oversleep! Oops! Have a great Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!RecipeCardstock: SU Basic Black.
Accessories: Sassafrass Lass sticker and chipboard letters; May Arts ribbon.
Happy Monday! It's another "hi!" card! This is the second card I made at the crop Saturday. I seemed to be in the mood for "hi"!This is a quicky post as I need to get off to school, sigh. I am NOT ready! lol! My plans took longer than I expected Sunday, but I made it through about half of my Google reader. I got so behind being away from a computer for a week! Hopefully I'll catch up tonight, plus, I'm still going through a huge pile of mail and I have some GORGEOUS craks I'll need to share soon! Love you girls for thinking of me! *wink*Have a super Monday! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!RecipeCardstock: SU Tempting Turquoise and Dusty Durango.

Hi peeps! Hope your New Year is off to a great start! We arrived back in Texas safe and sound Friday night and I headed to an all-day crop at The Crafty Scrapper on Saturday! Fun! I didn't make it all day, of course, arrived around 3:00, but still had a great time hanging with the girls!My goal was to make 8 cards and I made it, just barely! lol! This paper came from a little 6x6 pad by Nikki Sivils. I wasn't familiar with this brand, but it was really cute paper! The little chipboard bird and pieces are from Crate Paper that I picked up at Archiver's in Kansas City. Oh my, my sister-in-law and I had FUN there! Okay, off to work on lesson plans, materials, grading,...all that back-t0-school stuff I put off until the very last day of vacation! lol! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!RecipeCardstock: Confetti Cream by SU, Victoria's Secret patterned paper by Nikki Sivils.
