Only 1 more day until my BIG news!!!! Can you tell that I am excited? My kiddos are spending the night with my parents, but of course the hubby is playing golf.....so I get to be by myself for awhile and try to be creative!! Wish me luck!

Onto the card, I love the way it came together. I started with a die cut from Creative Memories, I am not even sure they still sell these, like I said before I am trying to use stuff up. I used my nesties on this card (love those things, can't wait to get some other shapes and the NEW bracket ones too!!) I used a sponge on the oval layer with bashful blue ink and stamped "grateful" in white craft ink along the bottom of the card. Hope you like it as much as I do!!!

Have a wonderful day, I am off to shop for some blog candy goodies :)

BTW...did you notice my picture with my bio? I really hate having my picture taken and had a hard time finding one that I liked enough to use for all of you to see. Hope I did a good enough job with it :)

Made With Love

I can't believe that I am actually keeping my word from yesterday, here is a page that was done for my Christmas album. I know I said I could probably not do any one picture pages, but now that I have done one it is so much easier to do it. As I was just working on the album some more, I did another one!!! So, onto the page, this is from 2004 and the girls are making some sugar cookies for Santa to eat (of course I can't find the pictures of the finished cookies or the letter to Santa which is why this ended up as only one picture on this page) I wish I could take credit for the borders on this page, but my very good friend Bobbie made it and sold it at a border sale a couple of years ago. As I am working on this album, I am trying to use up all the borders that I bought years ago along with all the papers and stickers.....why is it so easy to keep buying Christmas stuff even when you have more than enough??? I would have to say the same for stamps, when it comes to Christmas you can never have enough!

Check back tomorrow to see my other one picture page, and let me know what you think about this one. Thanks for checking in today and don't forget to keep checking back for some blog candy once I hit 1,000 hits on my counter AND for my exciting news on Thursday :)

Thanks for all the wonderful comments, they make me smile!!!!

Miss You card

Hey everyone! Sorry I have been a little quite lately, just a lot going on around here. This is a card I made a few days ago with scraps from my overflowing bin of scraps. I really like the way this turned out, and the only stamping on it is the white dots I made with a pencil eraser and craft white ink. The main part of the card is actually paper I got from my LSS and I just love those colors together!!! I am trying to use up as many of the scraps I have saved over the years and I am making pretty good progress so far. Now if I could only keep my mojo going for more than a few hours I would be so happy!

I went to a crop on Saturday morning and got 10 pages done in my Christmas album, which is much more than the Saturday before. I will try to get some good pictures taken and put at least one up tomorrow, so come by and check it out.

I also have some SUPER EXCITING news to share later on this week, so check back for that too!!!!

Gosh, too many things to share.....I just realized earlier today that my hit counter is getting near 1,000, so look for some blog candy VERY soon!

Kazan's Sketch #3 and Caardvarks Think Pink!

Here is my take on this great sketch Kazan has for this week, totally cute! It was even better because I got to see her making her sample card in person....how fun!!! This card is also done with the Caardvarks color challenge of pink, so I decided to go all out with the pink :)

Oh, I almost forgot a piece of personal good news....my wonderful hubby is finally in the process of being hired on at his current job after 8 months of being a contractor there!!!! I am so proud of him for sticking it out :)
