http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2009/03/mojo-madness-winners-week-76.html They are so fun to do. I made this card on Monday. But I was waiting to post it. As I also had some other cards I wanted to post first. This card was made using the Stampin'up Pretty Amazing set. I just love this set. The layout in the book and those colors just sold me. So I had to get this. I did not have the medium size Stampin-up bigz dies scollop circle for the Big Shot yet. So I decided to use my Cricut. This is one I for sure need to get.

SUPPLIES: Most supplies are Stampin'Up

Paper: Blush Blossom, Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze, Whisper White

Ink: Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze

Embelishments: Non SU Brads

Sponge Dauber, Cricut- Accent and Elements

Today I spent the day making my new blog set. This was so much fun and could be real addicting. I hope you like my new design. I figured I design all my crafts so my blog should be all made by me. So here it is hope you enjoy comming here. I love to sew so some of that touch has been added to my blog. Once in awhile I will post one of my doll creations. Have a sweet day and let me know if you like my new blog!

Heart To Heart

Its been a fun week having my sister come and stay with me. Heart to Heart in many ways as we truly are like best friends. It so nice to have such a wonderful sister. I already miss her and she has only been gone a few hours. Also my sister in law is here and it has been fun having some time with her. I taught her how to make her first stamped card. She seamed to really enjoy it. My sister says my craft room is like a retreat. Some day I will post some pictures of my craft haven. You can get lost up there. I also have another sister coming for a visit. I cant wait to also get to spend some time crafting with here. We all have a very close relationship.


This card was made by using bleach on the stamp and stampin onto the cardstock. Then image will lighten right in front of your eyes. If I get any requests I will do a tutorial. I am posting three different ways to make this cute card. The slight change in layout came form my sister and sister in law.

This card was made by my sister and the one just below was made by my sister in law. This was her first time making a card. I think they both turned out beautiful. They went with my design and add there own twist.

Hope you enjoyed my post for today. I know this was posted late. I should be posting another fun card tomorrow. So come back and check it out. If you get a chance let me know what you think.

Butterfly Friendship

This has been a fun and exciting week as I finished up the decor for my son's wedding. I will be posting several new items from the wedding. One of my specialties is making chipboard albums. This week I will be posting a wedding album.

Don't you just love this new Simple Friendship stamp set, Parisian Breeze Specialty Designer Series paper, Baja Breeze, Craft and Whisper White card stock and Baja Breeze 5/8" grosgrain striped ribbon from Stampin'Up. I distressed the edges with sponge daubers and added Pearl Rhinestone Stickers from Michaels. This package had various sizes to choose from which made it perfect for this project. The butterfly and flower were added with glue dots.

This card was made for the Mojo Monday 76 contest. Check out their link at: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2009/03/mojo-monday-76-contest.html

Life has been Crazy for 2 1/2 years

Well its been along time since I have posted. We started building a house 2 1/2 years ago . We moved into our new house about 4 months ago. There has still been alot going on such as unpacking, christmas , bridal shower, stampin -up open house and a wedding that will be in one week. I love my new house so it was worth all our hard work and well worth the wait. Here is a picture of my new house.

My Van is on the side of my house there and sits not working after hitting a deer. Shortly before hitting the deer I was in the hospital for several days. So life has totally been crazy. But it was all worth it as I have a wonderful craft room where I will be teaching my classes. Some of my ladies are patiently waiting for the wedding to be over with so we can start our classes.

I hope to finally get back to a more normal life as I did not have ways to craft or did I have the internet for some time. Some of you may know me from being a designer on Scrappers daily dose. I had to bow out of that because of building our new house.

I have a couple of pictures to post tonight and I hope you will enjoy. As I have enjoyed making them . All stampin up product. Using the Friends 24-7 set and the new in colors. Also using the texture plates that go with the big shot die cut machine and the new eyelet border. I just love this new set friends 24-7 and have more cute things I will be posting with it. In the up coming days. I hope you visit my blog often and I will be doing blog candy. So sweet you wont want to miss out on it.

Oh How Busy and Exciting my Life has Been.

I just recieved my magazine with my publications in it. Oh so fun , exciting and have been asked to do more. I have been swamped with wedding and getting ideas made up for that. Here are a couple of cards made for Ashleys bridal shower. One is also for my husbands work for all there kindness while he was home sick.
