Snow Angel

This is also part of the batch of cards I made to give to my mother-in-law. I made six of these. Why six, you ask? Because that is exactly how much of the fabulous Basic Grey Fruitcake paper I had (this particular design is called Snowed In). Isn’t it fabulous? My friend Karen sells it [...]

Flowers, Boxes, and Crayons!

I stayed home with my daughter, who had a fever. It was a dreary, foggy, damp day — perfect for stamping, right?! You got it!! I started out by checking out Beth’s (aka showmestamper) Try a New Technique Challenge. Sometimes I’m intimidated by them, but today’s seemed easy enough – make a nugget box with a clear [...]

More Holiday Cards!

I’ve been meaning to make some Christmas cards for my mother-in-law to send out this year. Today seemed like a good day – since they do need to go in the mail soon! Nothing like leaving things until the last minute, huh?
I’ve been pretty good about working on  mine throughout the year, although I do [...]

Who Doesn’t Love a Quickie?

I love a  card you can make in next to no time – and one layer ones are always the easiest! And now, when I have no fewer than a zillion cards to crank out for the holidays, I really really love a quickie!
I stamped this last night while DH and I watched tv. Cut [...]

Happy Thanksgiving (ok, I’m late!)

For those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing one. My family has one more dinner to attend – tomorrow night.  So here’s to more yumminess, more leftovers, and more food-induced naps!

It’ll be back to cards tomorrow (or maybe Sunday), I promise!!

Holiday Cards are Coming!

Sunday was my 29th birthday. *sob* — my last year in my 20’s! I joke, though. I think I am taking getting older fairly well. My darling DH let me sleep in (well, DD only put up with that until 8:15, and then she HAD to bring me breakfast in bed, which was a slice [...]

Cozy Little Rosy Stockings

Ok, I admit it. I love stockings. They are just so darn cute and iconic! And Lizzie Anne Designs came through in a big way when they created this cute little stamp!! And have I mentioned I love Lizzie Anne Designs stamps???
I am way behind on challenges, so I thought I’d combine the Sketch Challenge [...]

New Stamps…For Free!!!

Guess who got free goodies in the mail this week?? Me, that’s who! Ok, so did every other Stampin Up demo…but I’m still thrilled! It was so nice of them to send us all new stamps for free. The set, called “Time Well Spent” will be a Level Three hostess set in the new catalog, [...]

A Mini Vacation!!

I’m off to a conference this morning, and am dragging DH with me. DD is staying with his mom, so it is like a min-vacation! We are so excited!!! I just got my laptop back a little bit ago, so I was unable to post a new card or stamp set sale update – but [...]

Keep an eye out…

For more stamp sets on sale! I’m planning to update the list tomorrow morning. I would do it tonight, but my silly power cord to my laptop has died a horrible death. I’m not sure I have enough battery power to do it!

Popcorn and Flowers

I have not stamped in TWO WEEKS!! Yes, you read that right – two whole long weeks. Work has been beyond busy, poor little DD has been so sick with sinus nasties, we had to squeeze some trick-or-treating in there….it’s just been one thing after another. I was thrilled to get some time this weekend [...]

Live and Laugh!

Sorry for the lack of updates – it has been just plain crazy busy lately, and it hasn’t left me much time for stamping. Hopefully I can get all caught up this weekend!!!
I made this card a couple of weeks ago. I based it on the Sketch Challenge. I was excited that I remembered to [...]
