Hello everyone, Wow, Did Christmas just come and go or what? I knew it would. I wish Christmas Day would last more than 24 hrs. Just to be able to visit with and hang out with the family more. The only one thing that makes me ok with Christmas being over is Valentines day is just around the corner. Now that is my most Fave Holiday. I love the pinks and reds and hearts and glittery things. I feel so much more creative when it comes to making my Valentines day cards. So, from now until the end of Jan. you will see lots and lots of pink! This is my first Valentine challenge card that I have made this year. This sketch challenge is from Friday Sketchers . They always have great sketches and this one was no exception. I went to the scrapbook store today and did a little stocking up on red and pink and glittery papers and just cant wait to use them. On this creation, This DP is from Bo Bunny "Crazy love fudge & Flowers. Pink and brown are the best combo and this is what this DP has...

Wow, Only 3 more days until Christmas. Where does the time go? Well, I think this will be my last Holiday card for this year. This card was created for 2 challenges. The color Throwdown and Our creative corner . For The color throwdown, The colors are Riding hood red, Choc. chip/Kraft & Cert. celery. These colors work well together for the Holiday Theme. For "Our creative corner" the challenge was to add color and depth to dry embossing. For this, I used my brayer to add Choc. chip ink to my "Swiss dots" embossing folder. That is my most fave EF so I just had to use that one. Not only did I add it to the riding hood red Top note, I also added it to the punched corners. I also embossed the center cert celery "Labels one" nestie with D'vine swirls and once again used my brayer and colored the swirls with choc. chip. There you have it. 1 creation, 2 challenges. I hope you enjoy my creation ! I wish all of my blogging friends out there a wonderful Hol...

Hello all , It's been a while since I have created anything to share with you all and I have missed you all so much so here I am with a cool challenge creation that I created for Crazy for Challenges & Charisma Cardz Challenges For Charisma Cardz, there is a twist. No image, only sentiment. Sooo, this is what I have come up with. This was easy as I didn't have to do any coloring or shading, I just needed to find a sentiment that would take up the space on such a large card. This is a square 5 1/4 X 5 1/4. I love this DP that I used, It is from "October Afternoon" and is called Fill the stockings. I love this DP as there are so many colors on the backside that I can coordinate it with many other papers! I like it when that happens. I am so bad with putting colors together. I used my Nestabilities Beaded circles ad my smaller scallop circle to place the sentiment on. I also punched some of the peppermint candy looking circle out of the DP an added them around the s...

Good evening all. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving week. I am on break for the week because of the Thanksgiving Holiday then it's back to work for less than 3 weeks, then it's of for Christmas break for 2 and a half weeks. Gotta love working for the school district!! So, because I have the whole week off, I can stay up as late as I wasn't creating. I love it when that happens. I have been in kind of a lull this week so hopefully this will get me on a roll. This challenge is from CPS-Card sketches . They always have great sketches to play with and this week was no exception. Basically my color scheme here is Blue and white. The stamp I used is from "Frosty" by Stampin Up! This is a really old set but I totally love this stamp set. Lots of things you can do with good ole Frosty!! I printed the sentiment off of my computer"warm winter wishes" and used modern label xtra large punch and my scallop oval punch.The DP is a no name?? Seriously,...

Happy Saturday Night all. I don't have a challenge card to share with you all tonight, Just a creation that I made. My co worker needs 5 Teacher appreciation cards for her daughters teachers so she asked me if I would make them for her. Well, I will never ever turn down a request to make cards. I went out to one of our only scrapbook stores in my area and was on a search for some apple paper. Well, This is what I found. It is from We r Memory Keepers and has blue and green and orange apples with glitter on them. Really pretty paper.The Thank you sentiment is from Inkadinkado. The apple is from one of the Studio G line. My color scheme is Buckaroo blue,Basic Black,Riding hood red and Pear pizzaz. I used my Swiss dots embossing folder on the basic black and also on the buckaroo blue that I also punched with my scallop corner punch. SO, that's pretty much all I have for you all tonight. I will see you all real soon! Have a wonderful night!!

Hello everyone. So Sorry that I have been MIA for a bit. I have had a crazy busy week even though we had a 4 day weekend, I had my sons 2 Birthday parties to take care of. We always do one family party and 1 friends party so I had to do some cooking for both so I have spent alot of time in the kitchen for the past 3 days. Whew, I'm pooped! So, onto the challenges. The first is for Sketch Saturday , Oh how I love the sketch Saturday challenges. One of my total favorites. The next challenge was from Color Throwdown . Now, when it comes to color challenges, Color throwdown is the greatest! I am horrible with colors so this is an awesome tool for me. The colors I was to work with are Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede & Kraft. So, did you notice the flowers I made? They are from the Stampin Up! scallop circle punch. I saw these done on You Tube by Scrappingaway . What a great and really easy tutorial. Go and check it out. I think the flowers made a perfect accent to my creation. I used ...

This is Brandon and his girlfriend Sabrina. Isn't she just adorable? Getting ready to go In front of their High School Brandon and I Hello everyone, I don't have any creations to share with you all tonight, I just wanted to share some photos of my sons Homecoming. I cant believe he is a Sophomore already. He is my only one so I want him to stay little forever but since that cant happen, I just have to embrace his growing up and try and savor every mom and son moment. This was kind of one of those moments as he was getting ready for the Homecoming dance. It really makes me sad at how fast they grow. Not to mention, He is one of those boys that gets embarresed by his parents(as if we weren't cool or something) Which makes his father and I do really silly things in front of his friends even more LOL! So, enough of my jibber jabber, Onto the pictures. Oh, he is just too handsome!
