What a mail day!

My goodies are here!! Woohoo!! The mailman showed up with this terrific bunch of wonderfulness from Jacksonbelle’s store. Yay! I don’t know what to play with first  
I also got the set of Doodle Factory Animals (full sheet) from Starving Artistamps today — big thanks to Rose Ann for the discount!
I’m feeling like I hit the [...]

Doodles, and a sale at one of my favorite stores!

I made this card for a friend at work, who is always available for a pep talk when I need it. And here lately, I’ve needed more than a few! I started with the Color Combo Challenge from Tuesday and went from there. My sweet little helper (DD) sat in my lap the entire time [...]

Soothing Hummingbird

The other day I shared this fabulous tutorial for reverse topper cards I came across while cruising the gallery. It came from the genius mind of Melanie (aka melmel). What fun cards these are!
This one is a bit different from the usual reverse topper. I used my oval Coluzzle template, and made the cutout huge. [...]

Loving Groovy Guava!

This card was done super early Sunday monring, for the Featured Stamper challenge. I’m not sure why, but on the one day I plan to sleep in, my daughter always (seriously, every time) gets up as early as she can. And insists that I hang out with her – never Daddy, always Mommy. So I [...]

Fun and Funky “Purse”

She really is quite the talented stamper. Be sure to spend some time drooling over it if you have a [...]

It’s About Time!

FINALLY! I found the time to make a card!! I can’t tell you how excited I am. I started off simple this morning, with a birthday card for my stepmother – her birthday is Wednesday.
I checked today’s Inspiration Challenge, which is this adorable boot, and new it would fit perfectly with this  SAB set called Birthday [...]

Out for delivery!!

My huge box of goodies from Stampin’ Up is out for delivery! Yay!!!
I cannot wait to get home and get my hands on them!!!!
In other fun news, I discovered a fabulous new blog this morning. I was cruiing the SCS gallery, and came across this card, titled My Little Pooch, by Cindy Haffner. It is [...]

I splurged…

I placed a Stampin’ Up order today! Yippee!! Well, to be precise, it is like my third try for the same order – it kept disappearing from OEX after I’d submit it. Anyway, new goodies are on the way to me — new sets, a new supply of the In Colors cardstock, some SAB sets…I [...]
