Hi everyone...well it's been quite some time since I've posted and I do miss blogging dearly. I haven't created or made any cards in awhile so I don't have anything to post of my own. I do however have cards I made at a workshop recently that I will post tomorrow :)
Things have been crazy in MY world and to top it all off I get hit with a stomach virus causing lots of yukkies and plenty of sore exhausted muscles. Some say it might be the stomach flu or the Novo Virus or even food poisoning. whatever it was, it's slowly going away. Weakness is still a factor at this point for fear of eating but getting better everyday.
Now For My Request : ) Isn't this cute...however I will probably alter it to match my craft space...
I saw this box and wondered what I could use it for. It comes with removable drawers and is made of cardboard/paperboard. The dimensions are 12 1/4 x 12 1/4 and 6" depth.
I thought about even separating the drawers and using the shell...I'm a blank...HELP any idas for storage ot even craft ideas would be helpful.
Thanks

Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!
My sister and new hubby wubby! Aren't they distgustingly cute...LOL....I did her thank you cards for her wedding. These pictures really don't do them justice but then most pics don't cards justice.
There were 150 + self addressed envelopes. I used the Wedding set from SU for the side image. Stamping 150 of them in one day was hard on the hands...the stamp itself was on a large block so my hand kept cramping...lol...oh well. Scoring the top for added interest was easy but the inside where I printed her special message was more time consuming because of the kraft photo corners. I had to get hubby to help me with them. Yeah I go his butt working for me this time and boy did he have a hard time...LOL...it's no so simple HUH Dear! I did use glitter to make the image pop a bit which took just as long to do because of the drying time but it looked nice and elegant enough for people to keep it as a memorable piece. But simple enough that if they chose to keep the picture - which pops out BTW, instead of keeping the whole card they can just toss it. Like most of us, we will keep the whole thing but there are those that just want the pic and stick it n the album.
My sister did like them and thats all that mattered anyways right....?
On the front of the cards is a Butterfly. The bottom image if you click on it will show you a close up of it because it is white on white it's difficult to see it in the photo.
It's nice and sunny today...even though it's a bit nippy I'm going to take advantage of the daylight for so stamping...see you all later :)

Sorry I've been MIA!
Hello everyone! I have found some time to myself to put up the rest of the gift sets I did for Xmas. I wish I could have more time to make cards but I've been working on a new project. Wedding Invitations! My very first...from beginning to end. I'll be doing Save The Date cards, the Invitations, RSVP, and Thank You Cards. I'm really excited about it. So I'll post as I go with the samples I'll making :)
For now here are one of the sets I did. Nice and simple but one of my favorites. All the sets I made come with gift tags and a memo book or wish list. With the amount of supplies I have not used I decided to go through my stash to what I had and use them up :) No more Xmas I promise...lol...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!??? LOL
Ya! I know I'm a week late with the CHEERS!! and Noise Makers...lol...and you'd think that the year that I've had I would be ringing in the new year with a bang...I wanted to...but dear hubby had other plans...they didn't work out like he had hoped and we ended up watching a movie. So needless to say I was not happy on New Years!!! I warned him it wasn't going to happen but he didn't listen. So HIS new years resolution!!! LISTEN TO YOUR WIFE!!! LOL
I do hope everyone had wonderful holiday one they will remember and even record it because this is the year my dear friends where change is going to happen. Especially in my world...And I'll be forcasting some of the changes in the new future. I have many resolutions, all pretty much realistic, but many of them...I will definitely be a busy lady this year.
I am posting the rest of my holiday cards that I made for friends and family. I will be also be posting the xmas sets I made this year for family and friends. I am going to be posting a lot more than I have been because I do have lots more coming up but you'll just hav to wait and see :)
All the holiday cards were made with materials I had already owned except for the curly punch on the Season Greetings Card. I love that punch! I tried to challenge myself with colors I would never usually use for the holidays...like pinks and purples...it was hard! *big whine* I'm such a traditional type and when I go outside my comfort zone I become lost and confused..lol...but I fool around with enough and I can come up wih something I would actually like to give someone.
So here they ar and I hope you like them :)
Card Recipe:
Stamps: SU, MFT
Ink: SU, Stazon, Versafine
Paper: SU, GP white, Unknown Gold and Silver, Bazzil CS
Embellishments: Ribbon, Raffia, Cord, Rhinestones, Brads, MS and Ek Success Punches.

A Card and A TIP
Well I wasn't planning on posting a card today but seeing as I had an interesting afternoon I thought..why not...I actually have something on my mind and needing to spill a little. I love my readers who post wonderful comments...I love the encouragement it gives me when a comment is made in admiration of my cards and other work that I post. It is because of you that keeps me active with my blog.
However..............there are those that like to use and abuse ones blog for personal vindication. Lets face it, hidng behind a screen is so much easier than facing oneself in the mirror...even facing anything period really...it can be ugly when you actually turn the light on and see who's lookin back at you...which is usually the reason why hiding is a comfort for a cowardly person. I'm a very observant, intuitive, and aware person...and I saw right through this particular poster who decided to use my blog to promote their slander. "ANONYMOUS" TIP: My husband and I are alot more computer savvy than this poster gives us credit for and it is known who it is. Come JANUARY 1st I hope this poster gets the picture loud and clear...move on...get a life and stop dwelling on what cannot be controlled...although I'm sure you tried...and failed...miserabley.
On to the card and to my regular readers :) I love this set that I used for this card. It is from Little Paper Shop also from the Global set just like from the previous card that posted. The Embossing folder used, I had never used before even though I got as soon as it was available....which was about a year ago maybe or even longer I'd think. Anyway, this card did in fact take alot of time to make but was a breeze when I massed produced them...the most difficult part was placing the winter leaves and then adding the glitter...
Well I hope you all like it and please excuse my blurb on a particular poster.
Have a great Day! I know I will :D
