So, Enjoy and I will see you all real soon!!                                                                                Supplies used: so saffron,wild wasabi,choc. chip and white smooth card stock,  sent...

Hello Friends, It has been way too long and I have missed you all so much! I have had a pretty insane month starting with My sons High school baseball banquet. I was in charge of the photo collages of the players and making a pasta dish to feed bunches of people then onto the last day of school, well, that wasn't too busy but it only meant that I was days closer to my surgery of which I did have on June 15th. Alls I can say is Yikes and Ouch! It was an out patient surgery but it was a surgery none the less. I am in serious recovery mode and they say that recovery can be anywhere from 4-6 months. I wont be starting phys. therapy for 8 weeks.  I have Epicondulitis(tennis elbow) and when the Dr. went in, he not only added an anchor to the bone in my elbow but he also cleaned up the tendons. I was in a splint for 8 days and let me tell you, I was not happy for 8 days. Since I am right handed and this just happens to be my right elbow that is injured I had absolutely no use of my right ...

Hello Friends, It's just me. Hopefully this post will post to my blog ok. I am having some issues with Blogger. Maybe it could be me but I'm thinkin not, So anyways, Onto this lovely creation I made. Lately I have been into the Vintage,shabby chic look of things so when I started to make this I knew exactly where I was going with it. To start things off, I used cardboard, Yes, your average cardboard box and ran it through my Big kick with my Stampin Up! Top Note die cut. I then tore off the top layer of the card board. I mixed some acrylic white opalescent pain with a pink re inker and then sponged some of the mix all over the top note piece. I put that aside and went to work on some of the other items I wanted to add to the "Top Note" I used my scallop heart nestie and die cut a heart in some DP and then embellished the heart in pink bling. I also added some Brown prima flowers and added some Distress stickles to the flowers. I also added some ivory lace and a die cu...

Hello everyone, I dont have anything to share with you all today because My blogger is all messed up right now. I cannot delete,add,change and so on, anything in Blogger. I am surprised that I am able to post this. Is anyone else having any problems? This has been going on for 3 days now.  Hopefully this will be fixed soon! I hope to see you all real soon and please let me know if you are experianceing the same things. See you all soon!

OK, This is going to be a quick post because, I have already written this post once and Blogger closed out on me so at this moment, I am a teensy irritated soooooo, This is a challenge that I completed for The color throwdown and these are the colors that we are supposed to use, All of the card stock that I used is from Stampin Up! except for the white which I purchased at Kelly Paper here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The stamp set used is from The stamps of life . So with that being said, Here is my submission into the challenge. I hope you all enjoy my creation and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I will see you all real soon!

Hello Friends, Here I have a challenge card that I want to share with you all. This challenge is from CLP Challenge Blog . I totally love doing challenges. I find alot of times, My Mojo just kinda slips away and I so desperatly want to create something beautiful so these challenge blogs help me with that. For this creation I used a Stamping Bella image called "Charlotte Ketto" Instead of using my Copics on this image, I used my Prismacolor pencils with mineral spirits and a blending stump. I haven't used my pencils in so long that I thought it was time to break em out and use em. I also love the blending capabilities with the mineral spirits with the prisma pencils. I have a few other images that I used my Prisma's on that I will be sharing with you all real soon. So, some of the other details of this creation are, The card stock colors I used are Basic Black, Pretty in Pink and smooth white. The DP is called "Alissa so cute" from Bo Bunny. The sentiment i...

Hello again Friends. I created this card and I absolutely love it. I wanted to create the trellis effect with vines and flowers going thru it. I actually created this card for no reason and then I was looking at some challenge blogs and realized this one would work for Crazy 4 Challenges . My colors are Pretty in pink, Cert. celery, Bashful Blue and Smooth white. I also punched out the flowers with my flower punch and I used a Martha Stewart punch for the Trellis's. The Butterflies are a sizzix Stampin Up! die. This card is not a standard A2. It is actually 6.5X4.5. I think this creation is super pretty, I haven't put a sentiment on it as I can do that when I am ready to use the card for something special. What do you think? Well, all for now. Time to watch Extreme couponing. Oh how I love that show and oh, how I love my coupons. I too am a coupon junkie!!! I will see you all real soon!
