Merry Christmas Glitter Tree

Hi everyone!

This post is pre posted since I'm away for a few days. This card I made last weekend & totally cased from Dawn, thanks sweetie! I love glitter & this fit the bill, also it was another fast & easy card...which I luv right now since I'm so far behind & need to make fast cards. If I get them done before Monday then maybe I can get a few projects done that I wanted to give the kids for Christmas, if not it will just have to wait till next Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed so that I can get it done this year because I've already held it off from last year, hehehe!!! Well have a great day & thanks for stopping by today!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!

Hello peeps!

Like my title? Well I made some cards that make my house look like it's snowing inside, these cards are sooooo sparkly, I luv it! I made 4 colors, the pictures just do not do them justice, I tried to capture the sparkle in the card stock but oh well take a peek & see for yourself! I saw this on Amy's blog using her stamp set & thought I could make these with my Snow Burst stamp set, I love how easy it was to make, for me it was crunch time & these were really fast & the results are spectacular!

I am busy making cards & things & trying to get caught up on everything, I still do not have my tree up yet....I know, I know, I looked at the calendar & nearly fainted when I realized that Christmas is next week...OMG! I don't even have my gifts wrapped either. I can't believe how late I am with everything this year, this has never happened to me before. Oh well, I'm not going to stress over it, ya right!
We are going away for 2 days tomorrow so I can't do anything till Saturday, you all know what I'll be doing this weekend...working hard to put up the decorations & wrap gifts, I'll be doing that till I'm finished & then I will work on my projects & what ever I can make before Christmas, so Santa may be a little late in getting the mail out this year, so please hang in there!

Now onto my cards, enjoy! Thanks for stopping by today & spending a little bit of your time with me, I really appreciate it! Have a great day!

First Birthday!

Hello peeps!

It's a beautiful day today & I'm getting ready to get my hair done in a little while so I thought I would post & show you a card I made for Danielle's daughter Sydney's first birthday. Jessica asked me if I could make her a card for Sydney & of course I said yes & knew right away which stamp I wanted to use. I love how it turned out.

Well I only have 1 more gift to buy & I'm done shopping. Yippee!!! I need to get my butt in gear & get my tree & decorations up, I hope to do that this weekend & also wrap my gifts. OMG, I still need to make Christmas cards, I have not even made 1 yet....bad me!!! My cold really took a toll on me & I have not created anything since the week of Thanksgiving. My blog surfing has taken a back seat as well, I need to catch up with all of your blogs soon, so sorry. Well that's it for today, I hope you all have a wonderful day & thanks for stopping by & visiting with me. Talk to you soon.

Yummy Cupcakes!

Hello Peeps!

Well I think I am finally on the road to recovery, yippee!!! I feel really good today so I hope I can finally go out tomorrow to do some shopping, that's my plan as of now & I'm sticking to it, hehehe!!!

Listen, I'm starting to get a good collection of Copic markers going(I've got 14 more on the way that should bring me to around 50 I think) & I need to find some way of storing them...so how do you store your Copics? I'm thinking of getting the Making Memories Desktop Carousel but I'm not sure. Send me a picture or a link to your blog with a picture of how you store yours so I can get some kind of idea on what might work for me.

Here are two birthday cards I made just before Thanksgiving. I had this cute little cheap cupcake stamp that I hadn't used yet & decided to ink it up to make 2 fast birthday cards for my stash, I didn't realize I have no stash anymore & I need to make some cards to have on hand. Well now that I'm running behind that will have to wait till after the holidays now. I need to get my butt in gear & make my Christmas cards soon.

Well that's it for now so have a great evening & thanks for stopping by today! I love to read your comments!

Guiding Light!!!

Hello all!

Just a quick post, still feeling lousy. Just when I think I feel better this cold decides to knock me down again. I still have not been out of the house since Friday & its driving me crazy! I have cards & projects to get done for the holidays & have not even stepped in my craft room since Wednesday. Hubby has had his cold for 3 weeks now, he feels much better but not 100% yet. I am so thankful that it is not the flu though.

OK on to my card! Here is the card I made DH Dan for his birthday which was on Thanksgiving Day this year. It's not the best picture & it looks better in person but I did stamp the lighthouse a little crooked (can ya tell?)...oh well! I think I need to use my stamp-a-ma-jig more often ya?

Thanks for spending a little part of your day with me today & have a great day!
