NAKED!!!???!! I know! I was scared at first (nothing new there) but I did ok...the second time. Regan selected for us to do a naked card with only stamps and paper...... The first card I made was perfect until I realized I had added ribbon, So here is my second attempt!

This is all made with my new Stampin Up order. I LOVE that new punch from sale a bration!!!

Anywho, go see what the girls made and make sure they didn't cheat! LOL

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

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 :)

Fast & Easy

Here is another fast and easy card. You know it seems like lately these ones end up being high on my list of favorites...maybe when you have made 150 Christmas cards in the last 3 weeks... Hope you are all having a super week. Thanks for peeking in my little blog!

Simple Design Cards

So a few weeks back I got my order from SU and of course I had to get the ornament punch, so I made these quick and easy little guys to stick in another magazine folder thingy. Great Template from Lauren Meader!

The last of the scraps

OK it is not the LAST of the scraps, but it is the last that I have made to show you so far! Aren't they cute!! Now if only I had remembered to order the mini envies from either SU or PTI...haha

Thanks for peeking in :)

Simply Scrappin' ... Scraps!

These are just some cards I made from the scraps from last years SU SS Kit. Come back tomorrow and I will show you the mini set I made from even more scraps!

This Year I Wish...

... That I had more time to make these! I had a lot of fun making this scrapbook (5.5 square) out of linen textured envelopes. I used a retired Simply Scrappin' Kit from Stampin up. I kinda {wish} that I had another kit, it went far. I made 3 mini albums 8 full size cards, 9 mini cards and I still have a fair amount left. Anywho, enough blabbing...go look at the rest of the album :)

I used four envies and the middle two I left the envelope flap out so I
could use them as pockets...LOVE how it looks.

Thanks for peeking in today!! See you tomorrow for some more fun Christmas cards using my scraps from this kit!!

Peace and Love

Just a simple card for memories of a lost loved one!
I made this for a new order for the flower shop!

Dawn McVey Cased

Dawn made this wonderful card a while back and I LOVED it, so have to try it. Of course I did not change much....it was perfect already. Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration Dawn!

Thinking of You

I had an order for the flower shop again and let me tell you....I needed that. It got my creative juices flowing again. I have spent hours in my craft room and have not done that in weeks.

This card, surprisingly, is made from all stampin up products. Even though some of the products are retired I love them!! I must also say that it was not until this year that I purchased a few of the markers (probably the first demo to not have any for the 2 years I have been a demo...lol) I love them for custom coloring the stamps as I did with this one.

LSC 34 & 35

I am so sorry folks! I have been so slammed with work all of a sudden that I have had so little time in my craft room. It is sad really. But I did steal away a few moments late at night to get caught up on my Loonie Stampers Challenges. Here is last weeks and this weeks Challenges.

This selection was Regan's pick. The colors and making your own background, a really fun challenge!!

This selection is brought to you by Dee who chose white, sweet blush, aqua mist and dark chocolate. Normally I LOVE these colors, but this week I am not so must loving the card. At least I am caught up now.

Have a Happy Easter all!! Don't forget to go visit my ladies to see what they have made!!!

YES! I am TRULY crazy!!

Well I stamped the tree after I had colored the rubber with my SU Markers and then I was just going to trim around the outside of the tree. It turns out I hated how it looked so I decided to see what it would look like if I cut a little more...I like it even if it did take about 30 minutes to do it. I layered it on some SU papers from "Walk in my Garden" which will be available in the Spring Mini. I also used a stamp that is in the upcoming mini called "Oval All" and punched it out with a matching punch in the same Mini. Then I stamped and colored the butterfly again, cut it out and popped it up on the card. I have to say this is one of my Favorites in a long time and I am never giving it away...haha.

I also just realized that this is an ALL Stampin Up Card...hmm that almost never happens for me. See you tomorrow!

LSC #33... a little late

Sorry I am late, I have been sick with a head cold and didn't have a bunch of mojo. My Dayquil must have kicked in today because I finally got some stuff done.

This week was Char's turn to pick these wonderful colors!!! So reminds me of Easter, yet I made no Easter cards...LOL

This first card I actually like now that I have stared at it long enough...Lol I guess it had to grow on me. All Supplies are Papertrey Ink except my crocheted flowers and the American Craft Brad (which matches almost perfectly to PTI Ocean Tides)

This one is.....not exactly my fav at all, but I am showing you anyway.

All Supplies Papertrey, except the crocheted flowers and the Rhinestone Brads from Recollections.

This last one has a bit more color then it was supposed to but I liked it and I am showing you anyway. Supplies from Papertrey Ink, Making Memories & Stampin Up

I am sure have already done this but if not go see my girls and what they made....great stuff I have to say! Don't forget to link up your challenge results so we can all have a look!

I want to get re-married

...just so I can make invitations like this one for myself. If you could see the ones I made for myself 7 years ago....ick!

This set is 5.25 square and I am in Loooooove with it. The base is made of Pure Poppy followed by true black and then stampers select. The stampers select is not printed on, I did however roll my stampin wheel from Stampin up along the edge and then colored it in with my copics. Next I printed the invitation on vellum trimmed it smalled and attached it through the white and black layers (before fixing it to the red) with silver brads. I did the envelope and response card to match.......Wanna know what this card looks like made of Raspberry Fizz?

Ok you talked me into it.....

......Heaven! Just a note all the info in the invitation is me, my DH and our parents and the rest of the info is false, made up, make believe...LOL

Loonie Stampers Challenge #28

Say WhAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaT?! (ok it sounds better when Ellen does it) LSC with No ribbon? That's right folks you heard it here! This week was Regan's turn to select the LSC and she picked a very nice color combo and tortured us and herself with no ribbon allowed. I have been putting this one off for a while and even debating doing it in the morning. All of a sudden (while looking through a sears catalog) I got an idea and here I am 20 mins later. Enjoy!

Ok so I am not entirely happy with my liquid pearl dots around but the idea was good. LOL

Thanks for stopping in today and don't forget to go see what the rest of the ladies created and play along and link it up!!

Happiness this special day

I was organizing all my cards recently into better grouped categories (I am a bit OCD with my crafty things) and it suddenly occurred to me that I had no anniversary cards, NOT A SINGLE ONE! Not good, especially since my oldest brother and his wife have their 14th anniversary coming. (Man I feel old...I met his wife, girlfriend at the time, when I was just 14 and now there son is turning 14...yikes) Anywho, this card is so cute! I am thrilled with how it turned out. The large hearts from a Stampin Up set had the words Lovey Dovey on them and o covered them with a flower from making memories.

I used the heartfelt basics set from Papertrey Ink and I love how you can single out certain words and do them differently. I first stamped the bottom line of the greeting and worked my way up so that it would be spaced properly. I had so much fun gold embossing the one word, it really strengthens the warmth of the sentiment!!

{Supplies: Stamps from Papertrey Ink, Stampin Up & Inkadinkado. Paper: Papertrey Ink sweet blush, vintage cream, true black. ribbon vintage cream satin papertrey ink. Paper flowers from Making Memories. Baubles from sollar store. }

Je T'aime

Same time last year, perhaps earlier, I ordered a wonderful set from Papertrey Ink called Sweet Love and it mistakenly had this sentiment missing from it. So Papertrey, being the most outstanding company I know of, made sure they sent the image to each and every customer that had ordered the set. I have never used it....LOL. This is my most favorite set as well as it helped me win my first (and last so far) Papertrey Ink Guest Star Stamper which lead me to meet my good friend Char as she won the same month.

Ok so how was that for off topic! The card is stamped, from the with sympathy set, in true Black on vintage cream c/s, matted on true black & sweet blush. Accented with these cute black & pink flowers from Making Memories and also has some divine true black satin ribbon. As always the inside of my card is stamped to match but this time I wanted to show you the stamped envelope to match. Loves it!

I also wanted to mention that my Crocheted flowers are still up for sale. Yo can contact me via email from this page or you can click onto my Etsy shop which is now conveniently located in the right hand column on the blog. Thanks for stopping in and see you tomorrow when I announce my latest goal. I know a boring post but it means a lot to me and maybe I will share another card as well....lol

Loonie Stampers Challenge #23

Edited To Add: I mentioned below about my Sister in Law possibly winning a trip to Jamaica on the radio and it is her birthday....well she WON IT!!! My brother is absolutely beside himself with excitement. Then to top it off she also won the birthday file on another radio station, so when she phoned them she actually said "yeah well guess what I won from My 96 this morning" That girl cracks me up!! So Congrats to Cory & Rhonda!!

This week was Dee's selection and I must say I knew this combo is gonna be a keeper for card after card. However I am so late making /posting this card that I am not to thrilled with it. I did make it for some specific though.

Today is my Oldest Brother's Wife's birthday (did you get all that?) anyway our local radio station is currently doing a contest for a "Jet away to Jamaica" trip, and she was selected as a finalist a few days ago. Anyway, happy Birthday to Rhonda and I hope by the time you get this card I have to add a Congratulations stamp to the inside. The contest finishes on the air today!

Don't forget to visit the ladies links below and also link up your creations!!

And now I bring you....the reason I am not sleeping much! I dare to click the picture and look at a larger view....it really is much scarier!!

This ......is my ceiling after too much partying with the snow that melted into my attic and through my hallway ceiling. Just for the record this ceiling is plaster which makes matters worse. How many people do you know that actually still handle plaster??? Not many my friends. So I am hoping before my oldest brothers wife wins a trip to Jamaica he will come over and tell e he can help since he is in the drywall profession. This folks is going to be a damn long weekend as we are supposed to have all that nice "melt the snow off your roof and into your attic again" kind of weather. For the first time in a loooooooong time I have a reason to wish for a cold weekend. My boss/friend called and said she is going to lend me her boyfriend (get your minds out of the gutter) as he owns his own roofing company in Edmonton and said he will try and patch us up this weekend when he is here.
