Happy Saturday!

I think I may be on to something, so many posts in one week - perhaps I've acquired the habit & will start posting almost daily... I hope. Anyway on to some new picture taken with my new camera of cards made with my new stamps... notice a pattern here??? First up my very first Magnolia stamp I couldn't wait to ink this one up & get coloring, I had the paper & such all picked out in the morning in the hopes the stamps would arrive & guess what they did :) Boy was I happy, well here she is the first of many to come to my collection I'm sure...

Here's a close up:
Here's my first creation with a Stampavie stamp too, I made thank you cards to my staff that gave me birthday gifts this past week & made my birthday so nice. These stamps too are super fun to color, I used my Copic markers on these as well.
Well that's it for today, I hope to have more real soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Treats

Here are some of the things I've done for Valentine's Day this year:

This is a little box I learned how to make from Nicole @ Papertrey Inc, the froggie is a Stampin'Up! set.
These are two box bags using the same set along with my heart Nestabilities & Martha Stewart punches, the paper was purchased at Joann's.

Here's a card using my Penny Black set, the idea was cased from someone on Splitcoast :)
The last one for today is made with a dollar stamp from Michael's, the heart is a die cut from sizzix. I received a new camera for my birthday (Wednesday 2/4, I was born 2/4/68 so I'm 41 years young now) I hope the pictures are even nicer than these. I also recieved my very first Magnolia & Stampavie stamps so I'll have samples to share using my new camera :) Until next time!

As Promised - Me Day :)

As I mentioned in my previous post I had hoped to take & download pictures to my blog today so here's a bunch, I hope you like them!

First up a Get Well card made from Gina K stamps (inspiration from someone on Splitcoast):



Next up would be cards made from those ever so cute Our Craft Louge stamps I found at Archiver's. I just love these stamps :) In the background here is my card sketch book & my CD Calendar page for June. I'll post those on another post soon.

Here are the little lovelies separate notice one has dark hare & one with light hair.
One final card to share for today, this one is a masculine b-day card made from TAC stamps I recently acquired when they had their big sale last month. You should check out their new Serendipity catalog, it's got some really cute new sets, in my opinion they did a great job! Check it out let me know what you think! Until next time, have a great day!

New Post! New Post! New Post!

Well so much for getting better at "blogging"... I find myself reading more blogs than actually posting on my own blog. Shame on me... Well here's a sympathy card I did for a former co-worker who lost her father ever so suddenly. I used Stampin' Up!'s Heartfelt Sympathy set .



I have the day off tomorrow as Wednesday is my Birthday - it's a "Me" day as the DH & DD have to work & go to school... I hope to get some new pictures uploaded & posted here on my blog. Wish me luck! Until next time!

Happy New Year!!!

As promised I hope to be better at posting on this blog in 2009... Well hopefully I'm off to a good start seeing it's still the 1st day of the year! Here's a few of the Christmas projects I did:

These are some ornaments I made using TAC stamps & my new Copic markers.

These were some small gifts I made using the little boxes found in the $1 bin at Michael's. I filled them with little candies & gave those to the office staff that I either worked with this past year or used to work with at one time. They went over real well.





Sorry for the glare on the photo, these were little photo albums I altered to make into recipe books for the female associates that work for me. I included homemade cookies in the Martha Stewart cookie boxes along with ceramic cookie trays. They seemed to really like them!

Finally for today here's my Family Christmas card that I ended up throwing together real fast as I waited until almost the last minute to work on them. I hope to get my 2009 card done much sooner so I'm not rushed & can put a little more work into it. Anyway this is made using my Cuttlebug, MS punch, Nestabilities & the cute little penguin from TAC.

Well that's it for today, I hope to come back this coming weekend & post some family pictures from the holidays, until then thanks for stopping by!

Where Oh Where Have I Been?

Not that I get too many visitors on here yet... I have been so busy & just realized I have not put up any new pictures on my computer to share... Boy I wanted to be so much better at this blogging. I visit so many blogs where the ladies are sooooo faithful to updating & I cannot even post once a week. Boy am I spilling my guts here... I promise to be better at this in 2009 even if I have to create posts ahead of time I hope to post at least once a week. When I hit 2500 hits I hope to give away blog candy & I have a lot of stuff to give away too! Anyway I will have pictures on the first or second so if you do visit please come back I have a ton to share. Thanks!

Fall & Christmas Cards

Well I have the day off today! I plan to catch up & organize my crafts for Christmas, it's one of my favorite times of the year. Here's what I've been up to since my last post...

These are some fall cards using DCMV background papers & one of my favorite scarecrow stamps, isn't he the cutest?...

Next:

Some super cute Christmas cards, with single views to follow:

This one was made using the DCMV box of cards, oval Nestabilities, my favorite poinsettia flowers & the Marth Stewart branch punches, one of my favorite cards for this year so far :)


This one was made using the Debbie Macromber background papers & my favorite Stampendous fluffles Christmas stamp, I took this idea from a talented person on Splitcoaststampers, thanks!

Finally,
Here's one version of this year's gift card holder, I get a bunch of orders for my holders down at work, this is made with some background paper I got at Hobby Lobby last year.

Well thanks for looking, I may be back later today with another post depending on what I can get done, I received my Copic markers this week & I'm just dying to use them :) TFL - have a great day!
