Yes! You are in the right place!

Good morning all! I'm just trying to find a template that works for me so I'm using different styles every now and then. Please bear with me! I kinda like this green!

So...I definitely had some time to stamp yesterday and was very fruitful with my time. Just one more project and I'll be ready for stamp club on Tuesday...nothing like waiting 'til the last minute, huh? I was all done with my club stamping and sat down to wind down and watch a little t.v. when a thread that I had read on SCS came to mind. It's a thread asking for ideas of no layer Sell-A-Bration cards. Anyway, I was sitting there and all of a sudden an idea came to mind. So, I hopped up and made this card. I think it is very cute but the Stickles didn't work quite the way I wanted. The idea was a light layer of glitter but I got a lot. I should have used dazzling diamonds, huh? I still think it is darn cute though! The size is 4 1/4 X 4 1/4. I used Whisper White cardstock, red gingham ribbon, Real Red ink, Basic Black ink, Christmas Red Stickles, and markers. Very easy and quick to make!

Today I will finish the last project and do some more pleasure stamping. I have a couple of more things in mind so I'd like to see if I can do them.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Yay! It's the weekend!

What a beautiful thing it is when you wake up and not only is it Saturday BUT the snowstorm that was supposed to leave you 5"-9" of snow...didn't! Yay! No shoveling...no worries about the snow BUT it does look pretty slippery out there. Good thing I have to stay inside here and stamp today, huh?

I have three more projects to finish for Stamp Club this month. Thankfully I have them all planned I just have to make them come to life now! Did you remember that Valentine's Day is next month? Well, we will be covering that on Tuesday, too!

I have to tell you guys about the new purchase I made for my crafting. It isn't SU! which is so very unusual, it's a Cuttlebug! This incredibly cute little machine is a die cut machine. Similar to the machines that schools and your local scrapbook store may have only small and less expensive. For it I have purchased some embossing templates, an alphabet, and some 2X2 dies. Although this can't be used in my SU! business I think it will re-invigorate my scrapbooking life! I'm just thrilled to be getting it and can't wait to show you what it can do!

Alright ladies...that is my jabber for the day! Have a spectacular Saturday and hopefully I'll see you tomorrow with a creation I can post!

I tried!

Because my friend, Dawn, said she missed the picture of Todd and I on this blog I decided to put another up. Easier said than done as you have to have a URL for your photo for Blogger. That isn't the hard part. The hard part is finding the picture in just the right size to make it look okay of this first page. Well, I couldn't do it so I just left it as it is. If you click on it and then click on it again then you will be able to see the picture not all messed up. I would just put the old one back up but I can't remember where it is!

Although I did stamp yesterday I have no new pictures for you. Have you checked out the sketch challenge for this week though? You could certainly try that and make one of your own cards today. Here is a link! It is a really cute sketch and easy too! Good luck!

Well, kiddos are getting up and things are going to start moving along pretty soon so I must scoot! Have a great day all!

It's New...but the same!

Yep, that is correct! You are in the same place just with a new look! I decided I needed a change for my blog template so this is what I changed it to. It's probably just temporary as I don't "love" it but for now you are in the right place!

I've been busy working on projects for Stamp Club next week so I won't be able to share much right now. I just wanted you all to know I'm still here and working away. Hopefully soon I'll have a new creation to share.

I do want to share a picture of the slide that Todd made for Kyler in the backyard. We've had just a ton of snow and so a slide seemed appropriate. Todd had made a smaller slide on the right of the big one but decided that since we've had more snow a bigger one is in order. I'm a little worried Kyler will fall of the top of the slide and hurt himself but I've been told he'll be fine. Even Scott and Todd have gone down this one! (If you click on the picture it will become bigger, 'cuz I forgot to change the pixel size but anyway when it's bigger you'll see how tall it is with Todd standing next to it.)

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
