Hello my peeps, Well here it is. My first Christmas card of the year 2013. OMG, It's on it's way. I cant believe how fast the time goes by. So, this card I made using a sketch from Mojo Monday and of course, it's another great sketch .   So there you go. For the DSP I used Echo Parks "Tis the Season" 6 X 6 paper pad. For the Merry Merry Christmas, I used my cheapie Studio G stamps and I added some bling in between the Merry, Merry Christmas. My main color scheme is Old Olive,Real Red and the white card base is Pure Luxury by Gina K. I hope you all enjoy it. I will have many many more coming your way. Thanks for taking a look and I will see you all soon!

Hello Friends, I just wanted to post a quick post tonight on a HUGE Craft garage sale that is going on in San Ramon, Calif. This is the crafters dream garage sale and I am just biting my nails I am so excited about this sale.I am also selling at it so out with the old and in with the new. I was told that there would be aprox. 50 sellers. You see, we tag all of our gently used and /or new craft items with a code (that they assign us) and price and they sell it for us. It is so worth it! Last year I made a little over $100 for stuff that I was done with using or that I just wanted somethings different. I was an awesome deal! I dont miss it every year and if you live in Northern Calif, you wont want to miss it either. So, without further ado, the following is the info, . We've set the date for another USED CRAFTS SALE !                          ...

Hello friends, I have been away from my blog for a bit. I guess I have been a little busy but that is no excuse, lol! I was cruisin around blogger world and found this sweetness and just wanted to share with you all. It is over at Cuddlebug cuties . What a great blog.  and look at that candy, Saweet!!   Now, for a creation that I created for a challenge. It is from Mojo Monday and I have had it done for a few days but this is the first chance I have had to post it.  So, here is the sketch from Mojo Monday . Fun and pretty easy .    And here is the completed card. Pretty easy and really cute. I have to say, the cutest thing about this card is the decorated stick pins. I make them all the time but I never add them to my projects. I need to start using them. It's like with my paper, It is so darn pretty, I don't want to use it. Does anyone else have that problem? LOL! S, there you have it. I hope you enjoyed all the goodies that I had to share with yo...

So, below I have a card that I created for 2 challenges. The first one being Sweetest Thing blog . Isn't the little birdie so cute? Even though this was a single layer card, I still love it! I sometimes feel like, if I don't add 2 or 3 layers to a card, It looks nekkid(naked) but this one I really really love! The 2nd. challenge was to use Washi on a creation over at The "Simply less is more" Blog . Well, That was an easy one. I only have a gazallion rolls of Washi. So this was a really really fun project for me. You see, I do have a gazillion rolls of washi in every color and pattern imaginable and I really like the stuff but I never know when to use it. Does anyone else have that problem? I guess I need to find more challenges that include using Washi, LOL! So, with that being said, I have to go and get ready for the first day of school tomorrow, Booooo!!! This summer just flew by, Can it be July again? Ok, well have a great rest of the week and I will see you a...

Happy Friday everyone, I have been a busy little bee lately with my papers and Ink. I am so excited to share with you all, A scrapbook layout that I completed today. When I saw this sketch on Sketchabilities ,I was like, omg,  I gotta play! I had the perfect picture for it! This is our "baby" Cooper! My husband and I always argue on who loves the baby more. LOL! That's what we refer to him as, "The Baby" So, the photo I used is one that we took of Coop at the park. He loves to fetch the ball and bring it back to us for a treat(he is very food motivated) well, he had been going back and forth for quiet a while and so he was taking a breather and I caught this smile on his face. Is he not adorable or what? I could create 100 scrapbook pages with just photos of "The Baby" but I wont bore you with anymore Cooper stories, Instead, I will leave you with this layout that I did following the sketch from Sketchabilities . I really, really like how this page ...

Hello Friends. I am going to make this a quick post to share another challenge card that I created. I have been a busy little bee with the challenges and I want to get another one started. I think maybe a 12X12 scrapbook layout. It has been a while since I have done any scrap booking and I really want to get some done, so we shall see. For the time being, Here I have a sketch that I did from "Sweet Sketch Wednesday" This, for some reason was a difficult challenge for me. I think it is because of the designer papers that I used. I don't know why, but I had a hard time matching them up with card stock. That sounds really odd but it's all I can figure, LOL! . I love this image that I used(gorjuss Girls). It has been a long time since I had colored in an image and used it on my creation so I took a little time to shade her in with my Copics. I did also use Spicas on the flower to add a little sparkle cause I ♥ sparkle! Supplies used- basic black cardstock from Stam...

Happy Hump day everyone , Summer is winding down and the kiddos are slowly going back to school around here. The private schools pretty much have already started and our charter high school started today and public schools start on Aug. 28th. Holy moly, that can be really confusing. I work for the public schools so I will be going back to work probably late next week to get things ready to go. Hence is why I have been playing with so many sketch challenges. Because I can stay up all hours of the night and not have to worry bout gettin up!! I'm taking advantage of this late night thing ☺ So, onto my challenge card. This one I created for Mojo Monday . I always love Mojo's sketches . This is a basic A2 size card. Enjoy my creation and I promise I will be back again real soon to share another creation! supplies used, Pistachio pudding,crisp cantaloupe,basic brown and very vanilla card stock.
