Birthday extravaganza

Well I have been starting to do a trade off with a friend of mine. She gives me some of her second hand clothing and I make her cards in trade.  Right now she wants birthday cards so here are a couple I made up.
As it turns out it is also my beautiful sisters birthday as well. I hope she got her card today!
Thanks for popping by today.  I hope you enjoyed my work. 😊

Happy graduation!

Well my baby girl graduates next weekend. I am so proud of the young lady she has become. She struggles with some depression so every day she gets through is truly a success. I haven't been stamping a lot but am working on it.  I cased this card somewhat from pinterest.  I an happy with how it turned out. The inside says "she believed she could so she did.  Thanks so much for stopping by. I know it's been a while yet again. Please feel free to leave a comment!  Angie

Always thankful

Happy Monday! !!  Last week we had a lunch at work for a couple of my coworkers who have put in a lot of work getting one of our sites prepared for sale. I made both of them a thank you card to surprise them. This week isn't as busy as I have been lately and I am hoping to possibly paint this afternoon. It is my day off so I want to take advantage of it.

Thanks so much for stopping in today! If you have any comments I always enjoy feedback from my visitors. See you again!!

Happy Saturday! !!

I was able to play in my stamp room this week. I have been crazy tired as my friend at work had a stroke and we have been working extra to fill in his shoes. This is so not an easy task!!! I have only been up to the hospital to see him once as I was gone and the hospital is in the city close to an hour away. I do plan to head up there again soon though!  I did get to sit and make him a card though. I hope it brings a smile to his face when I get there to visit.

I found this darling card on pinterest and cased it in more masculine colors.

Thanks so much for popping by and I would love any comments you want to leave me. See you soon!!!

Happy Monday!

Today I had good intentions of being productive however it was my day off and no kids home so I got lost in my little stamping nook.  I devoted the day to ladies as I have a friend at work who brings me a Tim Hortons coffee from the city when he comes out to our small town for work each day. In trade I make him cards. He requested some he could give his friends for birthdays for these were the order of the day!

I adore my bombshell stamps and may have to invest in a new set or 2 this year but we will see how it goes.

Well thanks so much for dropping by today! I realized I had screwed up and posted the same cards last post as earlier with the cougars and I deleted one.  Sorry about that!  Please feel free to leave a comment or some constructive criticism. I love hearing from my visitors!   Enjoy the week!

A little on the wild side

Good morning!

Took the kiddos on a much needed holiday in the mountains this past week. Was one of the best holidays in some time. We were missing the 2 oldest but all in all we had so much fun.

I am still so grateful to have my stamp room back and a place of my own to make a mess and create.  Feels so good! Today I want to share a couple variations of my cheetah cards.  I still adore this set. I believe it is stamping up! Into the wild.  I tend to use it as a go to for more masculine cards but any time really.

I also forgot how much I love adding in the drywall mesh tape for texture. Haha. The paper is some cute do I picked up one day on a local dollar tree visit.

Well as always thank you so much for taking a minute to pop by and visit my Lil blog and see what I am up to!!  See you all again soon. 😊

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I am happy to share a couple of my cards with you. No significant other to spoil this year... so far anyway.  So instead I am spoiling my coworkers and friends.

Also it is my new friend's birthday today!!! Have an amazing day cat and I can't wait to go for lunch with you tomorrow!

As always thanks for stopping by and seeing what I am up to. Have a great day and I will see you soon!!!

Red Carpet Ready, Baby!!!

Well thanks so much for joining me today for another Bombshell Stamps blog hop!!!  The rules were pretty easy this time...

This month, the theme is Red Carpet Ready. Let's glam up those Bombshells as if they were getting ready to strut their stuff on the Red Carpet! 

I took my bombshell and added a sexy pink and brown designed dress, which I adapted from the dress up downloads.  I added a few rhinestones at the waist and a pink flower in her hair to match it. I sponged the edges of the card base and added a couple strips coordinating dp and some old fashioned lace.

If you came here from Alison's blog, you are on your way!!   After you are done here you will carry on to Kim's blog.  The full list for the hop is below.

Get Well Soon!

This is a card I made last week for a co-worker who will be going in for surgery later this month.  I brought it in for our staff to all send well wishes.  She is a fan of pink and flowers and I took special care making a card I hope she really loves!  I had some mulberry (?) paper that had some leaves in it and I thought it made the perfect base.  I am so happy with the way this card turned out!

As always, thanks so much for stopping in this week!  I am hoping to post my card for DD's grad later this week, it is still a work in progress.  I love your feedback, so please feel free to let me  know what you think!

Happy Day Stamping! :)

Good morning!  I have been crazy busy working most days and running the kids to their activities and I haven't had a decent stamping area in so long.  So I neglected my supplies for entirely far too long!  My daughter signed up to be a Stampin Up! demo, so I got the new paper pumkin from her in order to kick start my motivation.  Cleaning and rearranging things in the basement also helped me a bit.  So I ended up signing up for a couple of swaps. 

The first one I have due is for bookmarks.  I was going to do the regular long paper kind, but felt like I wanted to get a bit more creative than that, so I decided to make some corner bookmarks.  I really have nothing new, it is all old stock and papers, etc, so I can't even help with what supplies I used.  I have made a note to self that I NEED to use the supplies I have and just replenish the essentials I run out of for quite some time.  I have several UNOPENED packages of dp to use up also...  Who does that??? 

Well, now I got those done and moved on to a caffienated swap due in July.  Hope you enjoy my bookmarks that I am sharing today!  I forgot how much I love to stamp!

As always, thanks for popping by.  Sorry I have been MIA for so so long!  Take care and please feel free to leave me feedback

Bombshell Blog HoP!

I am late getting this posted today!  Sorry for the delay!

This month's theme is "A Cut Above." Let's play with die cuts this month! Break out the Sizzix, Cricuit, and Silhouette machines and pair them up with your beautiful Bombshells!   My card is a birthday card I made for my boyfriend.  I don't have any sizzex or anything but I used some punches and my cutter to create this multilevel card.  If you came here from Kim's blog, you are on the right track!  Once you are done, head on over to Marnie's blog, as she is next up on the hop!  Thanks for popping by today!  I have not done much creatively in quite some time, so this is good for me.  :) 

The complete list for the hop is below.  I hope you get a chance to check everyone out!

A little Nosalgia...

Well, I was cleaning in my basement, painting the concrete floor so it doesn't seem like such a dungeon and was inspired by some of my paper I found to make a card.  I used this image from Stampin' Up! from a set I just mounted for the occasion.  I also used some Elegant Eggplant paper as the main card base.  I love it because the colors make it appropriate for either a masculine or feminine card.

I see I suck at taking photos.  I really need a decent camera to take pictures.  Sorry for the cutting off of one side.

As always thanks so much for coming by today and as always I would love if you want to leave feedback!

What if...

Decided I was going to randomly close my eyes and pick a set off of the shelf.  Turned out to be Smarty Pants by Stampin Up!.  I wanted to use a coordinating stamp that appeared to have a little attitude to it.  I think Cosmobella from Stamping Bella worked perfectly!  A cuttlebug background, some celery ribbon, primas and I have a completed project!

As always, thanks so much for popping in!  I have some renos to do this weekend so I likely won't get another post on here for a few days.  Enjoy your weekend!

Love love love my card I did last night!  I have has DS's teacher collecting bottle caps for me for a craft I want to make and so she sent some home with my son yesterday.  I wanted to let her know how much I appreciated it so I made her a quick card.  I love using black and white and I love my In the Wild set. The cutest brads I got from Gina K quite some time ago.

I hope she enjoys it.  My son took it to her today.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I really appreciate the support!  :)

Gorjuss flower girl

I made this card the other morning.  I was supposed to be doing laundry but I got side tracked. LOL.  I used a Gorjuss Girl stamp, they are some of my favs!  and some blues.  I loved how the prima turned out with the sparkly gold brad. :)

Thanks so much for popping by today!  I would love any feedback you have. Thanks!

This was a cute and quick set I made for my supervisor for Christmas.  I know, it's a bit early, but I feel like time gets away from me so fast if I don't do things as I get inspired, they never seem to get finished.  So this was to ease me back into stamping.  I used a mini calendar template and bookmark template from over at Splitcoast Stampers, and found the perfect scalloped chipboard in my stash that I had received some time ago in a secret sister swap.  It was the perfect size and my SS had also included some matching scalloped pieces to layer over the chip board.  She was awesome!

I also love the ribbon that Stampin' Up! put out a while back.  I think it is so pretty and adds some sophistication to my projects!  lol...

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hope you had an awesome weekend and are looking forward to a great week ahead!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  I am happy to be posting some new work to my blog.  It has been neglected for far too long.  This is another card I made with the sketch challenge from last week at Splitcoast Stampers SC454 is the key word.

I gave my blog a fresh update and am ready to share more items with you!

Thanks so much for coming by today and I hope you enjoyed my card!  See you soon!

Happy Birthday uncle Bob! Old Guys Rule! :)

I feel so good!  I have stamped something the past few days and it makes me happy to be back doing what I love.  I can't guarantee how well I will keep up my blog, for now intentions are good.  This card I made with the Card Sketch challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.  The key code SC454.  I can't say what all I used as I am working through all kinds of supplies I have not used in so long.

This card will be going to my uncle along with his overdue birthday present.  Thank you so much for popping by and feel free to leave feedback.  I appreciate anything you have to say!

Wow, so much for Resolutions...

Well, I see my posting regularly failed me miserably.  However I did get a chance to get to my stamp table last night.  I needed a break and a friend of mine had her birthday today so I wanted to make her something.  I also figured I had better start making my Christmas cards so I have enough done in time for mailing.  So just a quick post today, but hope you enjoy!

Take care.  Thanks so much for popping by today and I hope you enjoy your Thursday!
