Finished Book Journal

I finished my journal the other day, so I thought I’d share it with ya’ll. It is nothing fancy, and I made some mistakes, but overall I’m quite pleased. In case you missed this post, I’ll recap the project quickly.
I started with a plain, cheapie little composition book. First I adhered a piece of Cranberry [...]

A Retro Valentine

Another fairly quick and simple valentine. I used Laura’s color combo site to generate this combo for me – I love it! Not colors I would’ve normally thought to put together, but once they went on the card I was smitten!!
I used the same technique on this card that I used when I hosted the [...]

Kitty Love

The color challenge this week was really a challenge for me. Check it out, if you have a chance. It was totally out of my comfort zone. When I read it, I just couldn’t picture how the colors would come together. Plus, I have yet to order any of the In Colors for this year. [...]

The Beginnings of a Project

It’s chilly at my house today — it appears our heat pump (or blower, to be more precise) is one the fritz. And we aren’t sure when the repair guy can get here. So, I’m not doing too much other than cuddling on the couch with my family, watching tv. Which is all I really [...]

It’s VSN time again…

I hosted a challenge last night for the January VSN. Well, sort of – I actually was in the ER during my challenge, with a severe attack of kidney stones. Which was way less fun than VSN, believe me. Anyway, my challenge was a “follow the list” kind of challenge. I’m still feeling pretty bad, so [...]

Today’s Inspiration Challenge

I always enjoy the Inspiration Challenge that Karen (aka kthaman) hosts on Saturdays. And today was no different — what a cool flower packet she shared!! Fortunately, it inspired me to do a simple card, because that is just about all my brain can handle today.
I started with a Kraft base, to mimic the bag. [...]

More stamps added…

to the for sale page. I’ve just got to make room for the new ones I want!! Roses in Winter is back up for sale – that was a tough decision to make. But I haven’t used it in awhile, so it should go to a home where it will be loved often! Silent Night [...]

Baby Announcements, Part I

Let me start off by saying that the pictures are a little lackluster, and I’m sorry. My poor sweet little one has had the throw ups about every 20 minutes since 9:30 last night, so I’m just thrilled I got pictures at all. She seems to be doing a little better, but this funky bug [...]

Finally! Some time to stamp!

I’ve had this super great set, L’Amour, from Lizzie Anne Designs for a couple of weeks – I treated myself with some holiday money. I’ve wanted it ever since they released it. Unfortunately, it’s been sitting unused, uninked, still in its plastic packaging. Pitiful, huh?
I managed to steal a few minutes while my sweet daughter was [...]

I’m in sooooooooo much trouble!!

The new Lizzie Anne Designs sets are so stinkin’ cute, I don’t know what to do. I have to have them all!! Click here to see the ones they have previewed so far. I love love love In the Treetop (the sentiment is awesome!) and Once Upon a Time (which is perfect for my girlie [...]

Bit of New Year’s Enabling…

Look!! Lizzie Anne Designs has alphabets on sale – and you can never have enough alphabets! Check it out here. Also, their new release preview starts on January 2nd. I’m dying to see the new sets…I’m sure I’ll want them all. Anyway, just wanted to share!

Happy New Year!

 
Happy New Year, everyone. Thanks so much for always stopping by to see my cards and listen to my rambling — I appreciate it very much! I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday, and vacation from work if you got one! Sadly, my vacation ends today, so I am trying to finish up [...]
