Blogging lapse........

Hi everyone! I am sorry I have not posted anything for a bit. I had a house come down sick and I have been so busy I can't think! I will have some new stuff this week though. I am planning to catch up on my stamping and stuff starting tonight. I deserve to, darn it!! :) This weekend was hockey games and yesterday was floor hockey at 8:30, reffing the game after, working a bingo from 12-4 and then home to pick up my purse and go for groceries. I finally got to see the kids about 6, while I was making supper..... sigh..... Sometimes I just get so tired!

Anyways, thought I would pop in an update post and will be back by tomorrow with something to post! Thanks for stopping by!

OK, I fianlly got done my second jewellry set for my Twilight swap, which I am late sending... :( I have been home and in bed most of the week and didn't even have enough energy to stamp. I feel a LOT better now though, thankfully and am going to head back to work tomorrow. I bet they forgot who I am!!

Well, as you can see I am really stuck on Jacob! Love him! Route for himalways, but I won't mind if he needs my shoulder to cry on ;)

2 post in 1 day again... I should just learn to be more consistant and post every couple days instead of overloading to make up for my slacking! Thanks for sropping by, though! And as always I love knowing what you think!

Birthday Babe

OK, today I am posting a card I made for my daddy for his Birthday. It isn't actually until the beginning of December but I had gotten some paper from my LSS and had to do something with it. I also am loving those lollipop flowers!! I have never found them before that I have noticed but the are so neat!! So this is my card. I used my set from Bombshell stamps. I adore these stamps! I only have a couple sets but just think they are so sexy! :) My dad loves his horses and isn't too old yet to appreciate the lady either! hehe.......

As always thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think!!

UBBRO7 Challenge

Hi everyone! It is my Birthday today! Woohoo! I am posting this little Halloween box I made for the Untiy Bro Challenge contest. The challenge was to make a Halloween box, bag, etc. and use the colors black, green, purple and orange. I had been going through the Bombshell stamps blog hop earlier this week and thought these little coffins were soooo cute! The template for the box is from Martha Stewart... I love Martha, too! :) Once I read the posted challenge, I knew right away I was making one of these for the challenge. I LOVE how it turned out! I think I will be making these boxes for my co-workers next year!! They are darling! So wish me luck and hopefully I get the honor of being chosen as a winnah for Unity this week!

As always, thanks for popping in and let me know what you think!!

Welcome to the Chichiboulie Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to the Chichiboulie Blog Hop sponsored by Stamping Bella! If you've just happened upon my blog, you can start at the beginning on Emily's blog. If you came here from Karolyn's blog, you are on the right track! A list of all participants in the Chichiboulie blog hop can be found here.


For my project I created a Christmas card using Pia Puddingtop. I think she is just adorable!! I also used a new technique I learned with my blogging sisters SS round a couple weeks ago. It was to make lollipop flowers. I have never made them before, but decided to try one before making some for my SS. I used coordinating paper and made 4 layers. They are all attached with a little brad. You can't tell too well, but the image and the flower are both sprayed with gold glimmer mist to add a bit of sparkle and shine to the card. I just love how this card turned out! I think it is done up just enough with the DPs and the lollipop flower just adds the finishing touch!! Don't you agree?


How about a prize? In addition to the fabulous eye candy, we have decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a $25 Gift Voucher to Stamping Bella!!! The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! We will announce the winner on Friday in the Splitcoast forum. MWAH!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to Sparkle's blog and enjoy the fun she has there! Make sure you let me know what you think before you leave!

November Birthday Cards

These are the 3 designs of cards I am offering for my next card class. My class members seem to like creating so I love having the chance to pull out older sets and new things to try withthem. We did a ton of holiday cards already so I am going to help restock the birthday supplies!! :) I always seems to run out of these types of cards.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think!!

Twilight Tuesday TTSC14

This is the card I made for the twilight Tuesday sketch challenge posted over at www.twilighttuesday.com. I just love Twilight and creating all things Twilight alos. I am very excited for the release of the new movie next month!!! I am going to go with my kids for my birthday... :) Anyways, I used chocolate striped GG, bravo burgandyCS, close to cocoa and choc chip CS and some small pearl like drops. I used my SU set 3 little words. I think I am happy with itbut I should have maybe done something on the creamy caramel just to tone it a bit more...

I am waiting for a B & N twilight stamp set I am getting from a generous lady on SCS, so I will be creating with that as soon as it gets here too!

Anyways, as always thanks for popping in and let me know what you think!
