Two Post In One Day UNHEARD of!


In my world at least! Anyway I wanted to share another card with you! I mad this for a cool and inspirational card challenge blog I found via the girlies at the Chalet!
Cardvarks! It's way way too much fun! They have challenges twice a month here! So the most recent is a felt challenge! I created this card using some Making Memories and Basic Grey products then the felt I cut with my Cuttlebug and attached!

Happy Monday!

Well here at least! We had an unexpected thunderstorm last night. While watching the 10 o'clock news and the weather person saying we wouldn't get much rain just a sprinkling! HA Dave was less than pleased as this is the second time he's checked the doppler then gone and fertilizes the yard! OOOPSIE! On the upside the weather lady told us there would be no sunshine today but she was wrong on that too it's Sunny and 60 at 7:30 am so it looks like another beautiful day in the 70's like yesterday! Can't wait to open the windows again!




I didn't cook Saturday! Dave was feeling much better and starving so we went back to TGIF and I got to have that Pecan Crusted Chicken salad yet again! Then we went to Dairy Queen and got some Ice Cream the girls were in heaven! And it was amazingly beautiful outside! A perfect perfect weekend! Especially since Dave isn't sick anymore!




Em lost her tooth early early Sunday morning one of her front teeth!! Well it fell out in bed and then she actually did LOOSE her tooth it's in the bedroom somewhere she thinks behind the bed! So we wrote a note explaining to the tooth fairy last night in hopes she would still come! Em was crying last night worried she might not make it! She did! Thank goodness for the tooth fairy.






More good news! I submitted a sibling(sister) layout to Ready Set Create this weekend and it has been picked up! FUN FUN! They have their August calls up! I've been thinking about those!




OOOH OOOH OOOOH and Dianne and I both moved on to Round 4 at Scrapbook Chalet! And now we have a new challenge, it's an ad inspiration challenge! Can't wait to get started but I must find my table first! It's under piles!




Okie dokie you need something to look at! So here are some more projects with my new favorite use them on everything stamps from justjohanna. These are 2 cards made with their cute little crown stamp! I was on a coloring binge which is unusual for me! But I did get some new happy markers so I got to play with them and my handy dandy souffle markers that I love so much as well! I cut out all those little pink crowns I was determined to make those flowers. The brads are from Cactus Pink and there are little flowers on them that look like stamens but you can't really tell in the scan since their glossy!










On that note I'll bid you a Happy Monday!

Challenge #3


Woo Hoo we are on Challenge #3 at Scrapbook Chalet today is the final day to upload the layouts VOTING starts tonight at 8:30 CST and goes until Sunday at 8:00 CST! The layouts in the gallery today are amazing! Our challenge this week was to Scraplift a layout by Jeanne that was just amazing! I'm loving the weekly challenge! Here is the layout I created using some of my new Cuttlebug stuff and my Cocoa Daisy Bombay Blue Kit. It looks way yellowier than it really is.
So today is a lazy day around here I'm going to do laundry and maybe cook something out of a cookbook I got from the library, Food's Good Food Fast I made dinner out of here the other night and it was oh so yummy. And I even made polenta for the very first time! I thought it turned out great, not that I'm an expert but it was yummy to me. I'm playing around with some stamping techniques today using STAZON so I'll share what I come up with later! Hope everyone has a great Saturday!




Cute New Stamps!



Ok so I got some justjohanna stamps this week! They are oh so cute! I can't begin to tell you which is my favorite since I have so many and I filled up my shopping cart only to realize we wouldn't be able to make the house payment if I bought all the ones I wanted so I narrowed it down! But it was OH SO HARD I love it when I find something and I just love it all! So here is one of my favorites! The cupcake perfect for making birthday cards galore!


All I did was color the frosting with my Souffle pens and the cherry is a Glaze pen! That FAB ribbon is from the new Martha Stewart line I want all the ribbon! Anyhoo this was a cute quick card! Ooh and here is one I made with the same stamp plus the cakestand/snowglobe/bird pirch. Fun Fun one of my new Cuttlebug Dies went to work here as the platform! The Happy Birthday stamp is a $1 stamp from M's.

Anyhoo there are 2 of my very most favorite stamps! I have more but I need to save something for tomorrow right?

Hello Again Hello!



Been a bit busy! But in a good way! So I tried to enter the Hello Card Challenged at PaperCrafts Magazine but my card never appeared in their gallery it's in mine over there but not in the gallery anyone can see. Not really sure what I did wrong? So I thought I would share here!


Also this week was Challenge #2 over at the Chalet! We used a sketch of a round layout and were told the layout had to be round. That was a challenge. Once the layout was complete scanning was just as much of a challenge. So anyway here is that layout!



I taught Em how to look up books and request them from the library online! OH MY! Between her and I we will be at the Library daily! I do love this feature though it's like buying books online only free and I don't have to find a place to store them! HA On a sad note our Library's June book sale has been cancelled. I'm a Friend of the Library and we've done a couple curbside pickups with 2 more coming but still don't have enough books to crate! So it looks as if we may do a sale in the fall. It's kind of a bummer we generally have a FABULOUS sale with thousands and thousands of books it will be missed this summer! I was talking to the lady that chairs this fundraiser she thinks it's because Little City is taking over a large charity event in the city. Hope this doesn't mean we'll go from 3 to 1 sale a year that would be a bummer!


The girls walked last night in the Walk-A-Thon for the School, to raise money for the climbing wall. They had a good time. Em went around 6 time and Abbi 4. Abs won a prize for being 1000 to cross the finish line!
I missed the Schnockers event at Paula's last night! Dave really wanted to go to Galena and reinact at the Grant House with his friends. After he missed the TN event earlier this month I thought he should get to go play! So the girlies and I are hanging this weekend. We got a stack of movies from the Library, including Happy Feet and we might go out on a mission to find a new Pink Dolly! Such big big plans! It's supposed to get into the 70's here so we are going to bask outdoors and maybe loose our winter chill!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

The week is almost OVER!


Thank goodness! This has just been the busiest week ever with Cheer starting up, 4 dance rehersals, Girl Scout meetings and helping out my neighbor get ready for a big show where she is selling her handmade purses. OMG I've been so busy! I'm stamping and cutting(well I'm taking a break for a minute) for tomorrow nights stamp class! When that is done I'll be so happy! Then Saturday I get to go to a crop all day from 10-1!!!! I'm so stinkin excited! That's 10am to 1am the next morning! I have so much catching up to do on my stuff and others stuff! Some dedicated time for that will be just wonderful!


So lets see we need a little art here on the old Blog don't we? I gave you a sneaky peaky at my All about me Layout the other day so here is the whole thing! Be sure to check out all of the DLAS layouts! Have a great day! I hope to post some samples tomorrow!


MIA and Fun Stuff Too



So yes I've been missing! I've had some medical issues for over a week. Suffice it to say I have a kidney infection and kidney stones. Non of which have been pleasant but I am on the mend. Hopefully! At least now I can sit, stand and lay down! Before I couldn't do any for any length of time. At least my Dr. has been humorus about it all the while sending me for a battary of tests and prescriptions. Phew can't wait to feel completely normal!

Just started getting ready for Easter Friday so I'm doing catch up playing old EB tonight!

At the Chalet we are uploading our first chall layout. I'm of course having technical difficulties(there's always one in every group, this time it's me!). So here's a sneaky peaky at what I did!
