Merry Christmas!! LSC #72

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

This weeks beautiful colors were selected by Maria and I love them. I did not have a whole lot of time to play with them because my first project attempt bombed big time...LOL I was trying to make a Paper bead bracelet like Nichole Heady did HERE. Yeah I have a lot more playing to do with them.

So instead I did a simple card, and nothing to do with Christmas (sorry)

I hope you all have a lovely holiday season and just as wonderful everyday of next year!! I am pooped and still have Christmas Dinner prep to do, so again Merry Christmas and thanks for stopping in.

Please go visit the ladies to see what they did!!!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #71

So, are you ready for Christmas? I can NOT believe it is a week away. This Holiday Season seems to have sneaked up on me and I am usually ready but this year I am sort of scrambling for ideas. I just finished spending 2 hours at walmart finishing up my nieces, nephews and friends kids (15 in total) and just have to finish adults....crazy!

Anyway, enough about shopping! Welcome to this weeks LSC selected by Dee. She picked for us to do a NON traditional colored Christmas card and it was fun to do. I found a lot of the cards I did this year were semi-non traditional, but this one is my fav!

So easy to do as well: Starting on an Aqua Mist base I added a Making Memories note paper and snipped a bit of the over hang off. Then I added my ribbon and bows; As always I stamped my image and sentiment after I had the bow on, so needless to say it was a bit tricking getting a flat surface to stamp properly....haha. I finished it with some Scarlett jewel Buttons and TA DA!! Very easy and cute!!

Now visit the ladies and see what funkiness they have brought this week!
Thanks for stopping in :)

Loonie Stampers Challenge #70

Hello to you all this FINE Friday morning!!! Ok not really I am at work (or I will be when you read this) I SO don't wanna be...LOL I want to be in my craft room!! Hopefully someone out there is going to have some Crafty time and perhaps some LSC Inspirations?? This week the colors are Regans pick, and I love 'em!!

Ok so it is actually 1:25 am and I just realized I hadn't taken my picture yet so I have yucky nighttime light and that ribbon looks SUPER bright (IRL it isn't) But I love the simplicity of this stlye only next time I might consider stamping the sentiment before adding the bow....LOL

Have a SUPER day and thanks for comeing to see my card this week. I look so forward to this every week as it seems it is the only time I have these days. But Hey! 13 more days until I am done my seasonal work!!!!

Super Mini Album

This is an album I made as a custom order from the last Craft Market. A lady wanted lots pf pages but teeny tiny so she could send it to her sister who works on a cruise ship and obviously cant have too much of anything or too big.

This little book is made of mini paper bags I bought at Micheal's and has 14 pages, 4 inserts and front and back cover and is only 3 inches by 3 inches square. It turned out so cute and in my favorite colors that I made another for myself... :)

Thanks for stopping in today!!! See ya Later!

Christmas PAR-TAY!!!!

Each Year one of my close friends (who luckily lives with in crawling distance from my house) throws a Christmas party for all our friends and a few family members as well. Traditionally each year I make the invites and she writes a funny Christmas poem for the inside.... Here are the cards that I made 10 of in less them an hour.

and last but not least here is this years poem... (no one invited reads this blog except me and the author hehehe)

A Christmas Invitation
is probably what you need.
A martini sure will help
bring you to your knees.

We've made our guest list,
and checked it twice....
You're invited and
we can't wait to hear
whether you've been
naughty or nice!!

So come once again
to the Quinton household,
On December the 19th
some memories will unfold!

Come jingle and jangle,
'round about eight
We'll help you put on
your Christmas weight!!!

My Sympathy x 2

Well it has been a rather sad few days. Two People close to me have lost ones close to them! My heart goes out to them and there young Families!! Here is a card a made for my those friends.

I seriously hate having to make these cards, especially for 29 year olds!

LSC #68

Well well well! Its my week to pick and I choose these beautiful colors!! Then I sat at my desk to start creating and whamo....I got nothing. LOL So this is what I came up with. I may or may not have cheated but I'll never tell!!

As always when stumped I turn to a Lauren Meader template. I love the K & Company papers on this one; a combo of enchanted evening & spring moss colors (and maybe a few more)

Dont forget to check out my ladies!! Than ks for stopping in!

LSC 67

This week is brought to you by Wendy!!! Her color combo sure was the target of a lot of booing as we all LOVE purple so much...LOL We loves to give a girl a hard time!! I personally am ok with the combo and as a result I like my card too!!

Very simple design...I used my PTI bitty dots papers and a new fiskars scallop edge punch and then made the focal point image with my SB Labels one dies and my Vintage Labels set that just came in the mail....Hoooray!!!

Ok People go visit the ladies !!

Dee ~ Regan ~ Maria ~ Char ~ Wendy

PS.....ITS NEW MOON DAY!!!! But I still have to wait all the way until Sunday night to see it, our theaters were sold out until then...booo So don't tell me anything please!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #66

Well Happy Friday the 13th!!! hehe
So this Friday is Maria's Selection of the Loonie Stampers Challenge and
I LOOOOOOVE it (try to imagine me singing that word) These colors are marvelous!
Thanks Maria!!

Again I have turned to one of Lauren Meader's Templates to get me through this project. By that I mean that I am preparing for a Christmas Craft Show (which I will be at by the time you read this) and so multi tasking is the key! I have made 10 stationary sets like these in different colors that I will be offering to Monogram while they wait!!

I started by stamping my Giga Stamps on the grid paper from Papertrey Ink in My SU Grey (didn't have any soft stone) and also in my Aqua Mist. Then I used the little images from GL 1 & 2 stamped in new leaf and enchanting evening. I have to say I love the grid paper because i just do NOT have the patience needed for stamping the grid myself....LOL

Each set I made has 3 stationary sheets and 6 note cards. There is a monogram circle on each piece of the set ready for me to add an initial.

The 3 photos above are the cards also included in each set. Then of course I have the envelopes and a pen made to match with a few simple knots of ribbon on the lids!! I hope I sell them all!!

Thank you so much for coming in to see me today and
I hope you scoot on over the visit the girls!!!

Dee ~ Regan ~ Maria ~ Char ~ Wendy

I will be back...

Just wanted to stop by and let you all know that I will continue with my regular posts as soon as I can. Just finishing up preparation for the craft fair today and I did mean to have all of next week scheduled already but I ended up getting way behind as I had food poisoning from a sandwich I bought. That knocked me out and stole away 3 days of anything for me.....I am much better now and getting caught up.....well sort of.

I also have to drive to Calgary this week to pick up my world traveling mother from the airport so maybe late this week or early next I can share some of her pictures from the Dominican Republic!

Oh and don't forget to come by tomorrow for the LSC!!!
I have a GREAT project scheduled already!!!

I Quit, I Quit, I Quit!!!

Smoking that is. After a disgusting 18 years of smoking (yes I am only 30 so insert ashamed face here) I have finally quit. My husband as well. He was visiting some guys her used to work with and he said hey lets go for a smoke and they all said nope we don't smoke. SO they told him about the book Allen Carr's easy way to stop smoking. He went and bought it, read it and quit as soon as he was done the book.
He came into my office and dropped the book on my desk and said I am done. I said oh you are done the book and he replied No I am DONE smoking! So I read the book finished it the following day and I am SO done as well. It is AMAZING that by the time you are done the book your desire to smoke is completely gone. No withdrawls, no crabbyness, no urge to eat and cause weight gain. Nothing but easy sailing. I have tried to quit many times before and never successfully I have NEVER quit until now!

So if you smoke....PEOPLE GO BUY THE BOOK ITS $20 and SO WORTH IT!!!! I have been quit for 7 days today and my DH for 9 days! Thanks for letting me share my accomplishment with you today!!

Prancer!

Aww! isnt he cute? I have had this stamp for quite a while now and I just have not used him. So this is the first time 'ol Prancer has seen ink. Speaking of ink, I accidentally left the lid off my oure poppy ink pad last night...Damn! This dry out reallu quick with out the lid....I guess I will be adding a reinker to my cart once PTI gets them in :)

rrrrrrrrrrruffles!

Kind of a boring card but hey I had to try the ruffles with my ribbon and I likes it!!

My Dead Cheerleader...

and her "Tender Heart" Kid Sister!! They were both extremely excited to go out trick or treating!

Here is the dead Cheer Leader with her Gothic Fairy BFF!! These girls are 4 months apart and have known each other forever since their moms have been friends for 16 years!

This is how McKenzie starts to haul her treats! It was getting to heavy that she couldn't hang on to it any more....But because her sister was still treating she had as well. Everything her sister does she has to do too. You know the story!

Here she is again with the bag a little bit fuller...and I have to admit she did good. She FILLED the bag full. People were giving her 2 and 3 HANDFULS of stuff at almost every door. Perhaps they were just bored while she asked every house if they had a dog and what kind and what is its name etc etc...it was pretty funny!

and this is what happens when you drag a bag of goodies down the street for an hour...Momma gets to carry the cub back to the truck! Of Course Curtis was giggling behind me because it looked so funny!

Thanks for peeking in today! I will have more crafty goodness Soon!!

Holiday Treats for you

This is another cookie bag that I made. Thursday's post I mentioned I was doing bag and card sets, but I have also decided to make just the bags. The best part about these is that I use mostly scraps to make them. How perfect is that? Yikes 6 days left until the craft Fair (although I am sure you will be seeing the projects from it for a while yet)

Thanks for stopping by!! See you tomorrow!

For the craft show I have coming up (which is just over a week away) I am making card and cookie bag sets that people can buy to put there own baking in. My friend Sarah is also joining me at the craft fair with her wonderful homemade cookies so we are hoping we can encourage people to buy the bags and place orders for closer to Christmas with her......Now I have to get back to work because I want to have at least 50 of these babies ready to go!

Thanks for peeking in today! See you tomorrow for the Loonie Stampers Challenge!

Spring Note Card Set

Warm Winter Stitches

I kid. I will make it to the craft show, only 2 weeks left..I am freaking out a little.
