Blog Candy!!!
I'm back with some blog candy to celebrate my blogaversary! Wow I can't believe it's been a year since I started this blog, well actually 1 year & 1 month to be exact. My blogaversary was actually July 8th but as you all know I was very busy with my daughter preparing for her wedding at that time so I figured I would wait till August to celebrate with blog candy! I have been so blessed with making so many friends here in blogland, it blows my mind how far away some of you are, it's amazing really! Some of you I am closer to than others & I keep in contact thru emails, but I appreciate each & every one of you who visit me here on my blog. So in appreciation for visiting me & helping me celebrate I have put together some blog candy & all you have to do is leave me a comment telling me what is your favorite card to make right now. Example: waterfall cards, suspension cards, window cards etc, get the picture? I want to try the waterfall card soon. So go leave me a comment & I will pick a winner next Wednesday Aug. 13th, please one comment per person. This is open to USA & Canada people only, I'm sorry but I just can't afford mail prices for overseas...I wish it were cheaper to send packages there, so please forgive me.

Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't been posting much lately but life gets in the way ya know. I figured I would post before going to the doctors today, don't worry it's just my semi annual check up & I need to go for a blood test first so I can't even have my COFFEE this morning...ugh!!! I can be a bear without my COFFEE!!! I have been blowing off the blood work for a looooooong time & she is quite mad, so I figured I better do it today, I always had the wedding as an excuse but can't do that anymore, hehehe!!! By the time I remember that I need to go for my blood test I have already had coffee so that day is blown to bits & then I forget about it, it's not like I go into that city all the time...I rarely go there, usually only when I have a doctor's appointment or just drive by it. So I know I'm going to hear it from her today, she's not going to be too happy with me. I probably won't get my COFFEE till after my doctor's appointment after 1:30 that's a long time to go without COFFEE!!! Oh well!
I love Sarah Kay stamps, these images are so beautiful & easy to work with & color! My good friend Jen sells them in her store called "Little C's Stamps n' Things", I just pre ordered a few of the Christmas ones, their beautiful! Pop on over there & take a peek she has some awesome stuff! You will be seeing a lot of these stamps in the coming days, I will try to mix it up a bit for you. The background of this card I learned from a few other stampers in blogland who have used this technique & thought I would give it a try. I love it!!! I inked one side of the textile embossing folder & ran it through my cuttlebug & its awesome. If you flip the folder over so that the cuttlebug words are facing down ink that side this time then run it through the cuttlebug the same way, words on the bottom...it gives you a whole different look, I used very vanilla cs for this card. By the way don't forget to wash the folder when your done so that it doesn't stain, it comes out looking new again. Give it a try. Hope you like it!
Well that's it for today, I hope to post blog candy later or tomorrow, the picture is taken & just waiting for me to post, so stay tuned. Have a great day & thanks for stopping by today! Hope I didn't bore you too much about the NO COFFEE thing, Hehehe!!!

My Card for Jen's Challenge # 2
Hi everyone,
Hope your all having a great day. This is my card for Jen's Challenge # 2. This was fun, I luv this sketch & how the card turned out. I wanted to use one of my Sarah Kay stamps but it didn't work out for this, so I'll make a card tomorrow with one of the stamps. I stamped a bunch of them last night so all I need to do now is color them in & their ready to put on a card.
I'm in the process of revamping my blog design with a little help from my friends. Today I took the plunge & changed my template. Let me tell you I was scared to death that I was going to screw something up & lose the whole thing, but so far so good, it just needs a little adjustment. Will have lots of thank yous for all the help after I'm done. That's all for today folks! Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Get Well Hippo
Hi everyone,
Went to the torture chamber & am back & glad to report another cleaning with no cavities...yippee! I'm good for another 6 months, ah we'll see about that, hehehe!!! Painful but it's over!
Well here is the card I promised earlier. This is another get well card that I made last week. The stamps are by Gina K Designs created by Melanie Muenchinger called "Just so Hippy" I love all Mel's stamps, she's so creative with her stamps too! Take a look at her blog, very talented lady! All of Gina's design team ladies are so very talented & I luv visiting their blogs for inspiration. I used all scraps for this card except for the Wasabi cs from SU. I colored with my Prisma pencils & OMS. Sorry if the details are a little vague but I didn't write them down when I was working on the card. I started to do that again with the card I made yesterday which will be posted next week. Okay, that's it for today, I hope you all have a great evening. Thanks for stopping by today.
