Dannie's creative outlet

Hello all, Well I have had a crazy week. Back to work which means back to school, The weather outside has been really really hot which also means that the kitchen that I work in is really really hot as well. I get home and just want to drop, Luckily I get off of work at 1pm. so that is a total positive! This past weekend, I went to a Scraptacular Getaway. 3 days of Scrapbooking Bliss! I actually got some scrapbooking done! 5 layouts done, I was so excited! The photo at the top is one of the ones that I completed. It was from our camping trip to Half Moon Bay. We camped on the beach. So totally cool, I love the beach! I actually tied for 2nd. place on this layout. Brandon let me bury him in the sand and the middle picture is of his toes(We couldnt get them to stay burried. I just happened to have these cute tootsie paperclips, so that was perfect! I havent quiet figured out how to format my photos on Blogger yet, so bear with me. The other photos are just random of me at ther retreat....

Well I challenged myself tonight to do this really cool tutorial over at Splitcoast and I am really pleased as to how it turned out. I even went to Joannes today and paid $1.99 for a piece of patterned paper just for this project. The paper is by Cloud 9 design and I just loved the brown with the blues and pinks and reds. I also used my corner rounder to scallop the edges of the Rose red cardstock and that was totally easy. I have never tried it before, Usually I use my scallop scissors, only to have a crooked scallop, well, using the rounder it turned out perfect. I had a little problem with the lid but I concealed it so you cant really see my mistake. anyways, What do ya think? I think I am going to make a bunch of these and give them to friends! Well I have a softball tourn. very early tomorrow so I am outta here! Hugs to all my fella creative sistahs!

ok, here is a creation that I made for "Technostamper" sketch challenge #30. What inspiration, and I have needed that. I spend many hours at my computer and get no cards created, This really helped. Go on over and check out her blog and maybe even play along! This card I use some retired SU! double sided paper and put that under the clear buttons and also in the corners. I used Pretty in pink,Perfect plum and whisper white cardstocks. The stamp I used is from Great impressions out of Washington state. For the most part I think it turned out pretty cute! Let me know what you think!

Here is a card that I made with Inspiration from Jessica over at Stamp & Create. I titally loved this layout and had the perfect paper for it. I love the skull and crossbones along with the hearts. Totally rockin out! I used basic black and real red being my card base. And the most awesome Bella "Rockabella" She is so cool! To top it off I used some glod star eyelets. Enjoy!

Ok, I have been on vacation and now I am back to somewhat of a reality. School starts in a little over 2 weeks and I can honestly say I am ready for it. Not just for Brandon going back to school but for me to get my butt back to work. Yup, gotta get those childrens fed. (For those that done know me, I am a lunch lady) I have been off of work since the kids have been outta school and I think I have been gettin a little lazy. Well anyways, I was checkin out some blogs and I can across this really neat one and well, she is offering some really awesome Blog candy and not only that, whoever wins the blog candy, she will host some blog candy on your blog with the most adorable stamps called "whiff of joy" Gaurdian angels stamp set .

Here is a 3 X 3 card that I made as an entry into "Sheetload of cards" July mini sketch! The 3 X3 cards are so darn cute I could stay up all night making them(whew, it's already midnite) Anyways, On this card I used my scallop punch as the main flower and I used my small circle punch as the center of the flower in green Galore and the petals of the flower in pretty in pink. Then I used some green ric a rac(is that what it is called?) as the stem for the flower. I then used a white rub on that says "celebrate" and the 2 silver brads on the left there attached to the patterend paper and Volia! A darling 3 X 3 card! I cant wait to make more of these! So now it's time for you to go on over to "Sheetload" and check out all the great ideas that they have !!!!! Happy Stampin!!!

If you dont have a Bella sistah, you have got to go and get yourself one, No, actually, You have to belong to Bellaholicsanonymous on yahoo groups and you sign up for a 3 month partnership and they assign you a Bella sistah. This is my third round and I just adore the sistahs that I have had. They are true sistahs in the Bella sense! Well this go round, my sistah is Dani(gotta love it!!) and she is totally sweet. Look at all the goodies that she sent me for this month. The pink box she decorated with a flip flop themed paper and added sweetybellas on the front and on the top of the container it says cards with tabs inside for different occasions. Totally cute! Thank you so much Dani, I lovey love love everything you sent!
