Misc. card

I really love the colors on this card, all but the chocolate chip ribbon were from Kristina's color challenge last week...hard to see the pink flowers though. We made these last week as well and the ladies loved how they turned out since they were able to put a sentiment on them for what they wanted. I left mine blank for now, just not sure what I will end up using it for....

Sorry for the delay on this post, we have had a busy week around here. On Wednesday my oldest daughter won her school spelling bee and I got to be there to watch!!! She is supposed to go onto the district round now, but that is the day we will be flying home from Mexico so her alternate is going instead. I am just so very proud of her and happy that my plans changed so that I could be there! Pictures coming soon....

I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello again

Yikes!!! Not such a good start to the year, but no point beating myself up over it now! I have a few days worth of cards coming, so make sure you keep coming back!



Today's card is one that we made last week at my card class. I LOVE the way it turned out, just like I thought it would! I finally got my hands on a swiss dots folder for my cuttlebug so of course I had to put it to use right away! We used the You & Moi stamp set with chocolate chip ink. Such a cute and simple card...oh yeah! I did get the idea from FTL (Clean and Simple on my blogroll) that is the best place for ideas when you get stuck!

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back tomorrow with some more....till then!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Welcome 2009!!!  Let's hope this year turns out to be a little better than last year!  I know one thing for sure, I am going to enjoy some nice weather in Mexico in February, so this year can't be all bad!!!  Let's hope this is a good start to my blogging habits for the year also, I kind of like doing my posts in advance, might keep me on target for a few things during the year!

Flippin' Birthday Card

I am back today with another item I made for the Creative Cuts & More design team.  This is the card I made my youngest for her 10th birthday.  Her favorite color is purple these days, so of course it had to have LOTS of purple just for her.  I used the cupcakes from SU, my cuttlebug swirls folder and some brads and pretties from one of my Prima kits I have had for a few years...yikes!   I also colored the cupcakes and stand with my souflee pens (LOVE those things) It turned out to be the perfect birthday card for my baby, she loved it!!!

Thanks for stopping by today and leaving me some "love"!  

Have a wonderful and SAFE New Year celebration tonight!!!!

Hey Cupcake!

This is a little cupcake box that I made last month for the Creative Cuts & More design team call.  I had the box for a few months before I did anything with it, but I really like the way it turned out.  I took my swirls roll stamp for the bottom of the box and used a few rubons that I had and then for the top I just took some ribbon and wrapped it around and added the sticker on top....super easy and cute!

I  hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to 2009!  Thanks for stopping by and leaving me some "love"!

Scrap4Life Layout

I am back today with a layout that I did this week from S4L's December sketch challenge, you should go and check it out if you have not done so already! I LOVE the way this page turned out, and then of course my mojo checked out once I finished it.....I have not been able to complete another page since. I think that is my new record, one page in about 2 months...yuck!!!

I used one of the holiday paper kits from Creative Memories from a few years ago, I think it is called Candy Cane. For the Santa letters I used some FaLaLa stickers from MM that I bought at least a month ago and forgot about...can you believe that!?!?! When I actually attach this to a page I am going to journal around the outside of the big blue piece since I cut it down to about 10x10 for the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by today :)

CC&M bag

Here is a bag that I decorated for the Creative Cuts & More design team call, I am happy to say that I will be doing a month next year for this great company!!! I have a few other items that I made and I will post them in the next few days.

I got this die cut bag from CC&M months ago and did not have a chance to do anything with it until last month. It is VERY simple, but that is my style, so I went with it. I used some BG Figgy Pudding DP and some of the stickers from the pack. I think this is masculine enough to give to the bus driver for the holidays, filled with goodies of course ;)

Thanks for stopping by today!
