Note Pad with Pocket

Hi everyone!

Today I have a cute little note pad I made for my friend Tammi a few weeks ago. I have links at the end of today's post for the template & tutorial. I saw this on Nicole's blog from PTI last month & knew I wanted to make some of these for gifts. I had some short notepads that I bought at Office Max this past summer & I had them cut them in three's for me. I had plans on making all different kinds of notepads but when I saw this one on Nicole's blog I fell in love with this style & it was really easy to make...so give it a try! I plan on getting the PTI Take Note stamp set
so I can make a bunch of different notepads...the possibilities look endless! I luv how this turned out! Let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Age is only a number...right???

Good morning, it looks like a beautiful day out there, Dan & I are going out for the day to run some errands & then have some fun! Get out there & enjoy this beautiful weather before it gets into the Winter mode.

Well today I have a cute little funny card that I made for my sister a few weeks ago, I luv this little guy! Isn't he cute??? Well my sister spent her birthday in Vegas again this year but sadly we could not go (bummer) she went two weeks after the wedding & well we just couldn't manage the cost this time. We will be going to San Diego in April for my niece's wedding (her daughter) & then maybe Vegas! I'm going to be making the wedding program folders for her wedding (I only have to make 35-40 this time), she loved the ones I made for Marc & hinted if I would do hers & I agreed only because I wouldn't have to make too many this time.

Well I need to go take a shower & get ready so have a great day & enjoy the weather!

Sitting Pretty!!!

Hello Peeps!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Here is a card I made a few weeks ago for a friend. I used the new Spellbinders Eyelet Pendant die...how do you like it? It was a little hard getting it out of the die because of all the cuts but I finally got the hang of it & so now it's a little easier. I'm not real happy with this card, now that I look at it I think I need to add more layers & do something different with that left bottom corner...oh well, next time! My friend liked it so that's what counts right?

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Happy Mail

Good morning all!

Hope you all changed your clocks back this morning! Well we did not even have 1 goblin or monster last night...such has been the trend for the last few years but ya never know, every once in awhile we get a handful! Times have changed & I can't say what I would do if my kids were still small, just go to the people that I know & trust I guess! Well I guess Dan & I will be eating candy all next week, hehehe!!! That's why we buy candy we like...don't you?

Anyway...here are two great cards I received from two fabulous crafters that I'm lucky enough to call my friends! Thanks so much Risa & Jana, you really lifted my spirits when I was feeling down, that's the POWER of happy mail! Head on over to their blogs & see what they have been up too & be prepared to be amazed by their creations!

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by today!
