Guest Artist

Remember yesterday when I said I might have a guest artist? Well, she said yes! Woohoo! I'd like to introduce you to Amber Porter and her blog called Ramblings of a Sassy Stamper! Her blog is relatively new but I'm telling you ladies...you should be checking it daily! I want to show you a cute, cute, cute, card she made with Polka Dots and Paisley from the Spring Mini. She used Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White Cardstock and Inks. The accessories she used are grosgrain ribbon and brads. This fun set is available March 1st!

Also, stay tuned all my VeggieTale Mom lovers...a spring special will be coming soon!

Hope you all enjoyed our guest artist! Have a great Saturday!

Keep It Simple!

Sometimes a simple card is exactly what you need. It's good to know that we can craft a card that looks great but doesn't take forever! I sent this to a friend of mine who is turning 70 today. She definitely lives the saying...live well, laugh often, love much! The set is Spring Gifts...who is ready for spring? ME!!! Cardstock: Mellow Moss, Very Vanilla, Pale Plum. Inks: Mellow Moss, Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Regal Rose. Accessories: Word Window Punch and Organdy Ribbon. That is it! That is all there is to it. Hope you like!

I'm hoping tomorrow to have a guest stamper to feature. She has been doing some of the cutest stuff with the new stamps from the Spring Mini. Can't wait for you all to meet her!

Have a fantastic Friday everyone!

Wow! I told you I was spoiled!

Wow! What a Valentine's Day for me! Remember when I said I was spoiled...well, I am! I have a couple of pictures to share with you of what my boys and my husband got me for Valentine's Day. The picture on the left is what the boys got me. My oldest got me the box of Turtle Candy...Yummy! Jon got me the Bible Book on CD and the angel photo frame. Kyler got me the puppy stuffed animal and the yellow tulips. How cool is that?! Todd got me a message in a bottle. Have you ever seen those. They are so neat! You can either use one of their poems or write one of your own, choose a bottle that you like, and then they print the poem on vellum paper, roll it up and place it inside the bottle for you. So neat! This is actually the third one that I've gotten and each bottle is so unique! The card that I got is one of those music cards! It plays the Shania Twain song...Still The One. I'll admit it...I cried when I opened it!

I thought I'd show you the quick cards that I made for my boys. You will be able to tell the approx. ages of the kids by what is on the card. The younger the boy the more stuff you can add and they don't care! The fish one on the left was for Jon. I told him the fish was me kissy, kissying him. (I know that isn't a word but I used it anyway!) The middle card is for Scott. He's 19 and didn't need anything flashy. And the one on the right is for Kyler. The bee has glitter on the wings and the heart. They were very fun to make!

I hope you made something fun and cute for your honey too!

So that is the extent of this post...wow, it is long! Make sure you check below to see if you won yesterday's blog candy!

Have a rockin' Thursday!

We Have a Winner!

I just want you all to know that my heart was warmed by all of your responses! What wonderful couples you all are!

My honey came home from work this morning (he works 3rd shift, 9:30 pm 'til 6 am) with his arms overflowing with sweet gifts for me. Such a great way to start the morning...a Michael Buble CD, a bouquet of red tulips (my favorite flower), a heart shaped box of chocolates (a girl's best friend) and the most touching card! Great start to a great day. I took him out to lunch and got him an assortment of great kitchen gadgets (he loves to cook!).

Pat

Pat make sure to e-mail me your address so I can get this out for you!

Kiss, Kiss, Smooch, Smooch

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! I really like Valentine's Day. Even though we should tell the one that we love, how much we love them every day I think it is okay for us to set aside a day and make sure that they know it. With that in mind I'm giving away some Valentine's blog candy. All you have to do is make a comment by midnight tonight about what you and your honey did (or are planning to do) for each other today. Even if you don't celebrate Valentine's Day please just let me know that, too. I'll be sending you this 6x6 Valentine's page (it looks better in real life...I promise!) and some other goodies. Do I hear you saying...but, I'm in your stamp club and I've already made that page? Well, if you are in my stamp club then you will be getting something else just as fantastic that I showed you last night. There is everyone happy now?

Are you one of my VeggieTales Moms customers, too? Well, then to celebrate Christ's love for us I have a Valentine's special for you, too! E-mail me your order by midnight tonight and get 15% off your entire order. There are lots of new items in the store (the link is to the left) including a very cute pillow book! Go check it out!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

My winnings arrived!

Remember I told you about the blog candy that I won? Well...it arrived yesterday! No only did it have the Cuddlebug backgrounds that she promised but she added in some paisley and one really cute friend background as well. Don't they look like fun? Can't wait to use them!

If any of you know my husband you all know how good he is at making sure that I know that he loves me. He buys me little gifts (and sometimes big gifts) all the time just 'cuz. It can be what we call *junk* magazines for my bath time or it can be a really beautiful piece of jewelry. At Christmas he did the 12 days of Christmas and I got all sorts of neat handy stuff and one really cute tiara necklace! This weekend I got flowers, a CUTE pink elephant, and some Godiva chocolate. I'm thinking fun Valentine's stuff (even though he had to wait 'cuz his stuff wasn't here yet), right? Well, no. He tells me that the stuff he gave me was just his...hey, I'm home and I love you stuff! This weekend we will actually celebrate Valentine's Day. Anyway, I'm telling you this so you can see the cute stuff he gave me last weekend.

Is that elephant not the cutest thing? And, it is so stinkin' soft...I love it! The heart box has the Godiva chocolates in it...yummy! The roses are white with pink tips...very pretty but I don't think they are going to open, darn it!

So there you have it! Yes, I'm spoiled and I know it AND it's fun!

Hope you all have a fantastic Tuesday!

Another Preview

Good morning! I did some stamping just for fun last night (now aren't I supposed to be finishing for stamp club?) and created this card. It is made with a new set from the Spring Mini called Doodle This (yes, there is a Doodle That set, too.). It is such a simple card but so fun to look at. Stamp Sets: Doodle This and Warm Words. Cardstock: Rose Red, Cameo Coral, and Whisper White. Ink: Rose Red and Cameo Coral. Accessories: Paper Snips and Rose Grosgrain Ribbon. I just love how easy it is to coordinate all of SU!'s products!

I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend. I have a busy day today but will be fitting in more stamping this afternoon. Hope you get a chance to do the same!

Have a great Monday!

I'm baacckk!!

Did ya miss me?! Nah, I'm just kidding. Sorry for the break yesterday. I did lots of stamping and I do have a card to share with you. This one is made with the Glorious Gifts set which is from SU!'s Spring Mini...yes, the one customers can't order from until March 1st. It is my first try in making the card I'm going to send for a spring mini swap that I'm in. Supplies are...Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, and Very Vanilla Cardstock. Stamps: Glorious Gifts. Ink: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Mellow Moss, and Stazon Black. Accessories: Window Sheet (transparency) and Gold Brads.

More stamping on the schedule for me. I have some birthday cards to make and then I'm going to try another card for the swap. I also need to make my kiddos Valentine's cards. Hmmm...I think I'm officially behind!

I hope you all have a fun and productive Sunday!
