Happy Saturday

DH called, he is already on his way home. Woo Hoo, I don't know who missed him the most, Me, the kids or the dogs. LOL He doesn't know it yet, but he is in for lots of hugs when he gets home. He also doesn't know it yet- but he is taking me to Archivers to do a little therapy shopping. LOL Speaking of shopping- I need to pick up something extra special for BLOG CANDY!!! We are coming up on 1,000 hits. I will have more details very soon. (In case you are not sure what Blog candy is- are you in for a treat! I will ask you to leave a comment, when the time is up for comments I will randomly pick a winner to get a goodie package sent to them. How cool is that?)

Wanna see another card?

This another one of those card tin cards.The Stamp is a retired one from The Angel Company. I wish that the colors would scan better. Everything looks so washed out. I would just use my camera, but until I figure out how to change the size on the new 'puter I won't be posting those ridiculously huge photos. LOL

Have a great Saturday!!

Until later~

Brrr, man is it cold!! It is a frigid 25 degrees outside. I am so blessed to be able to stay home with our little ones. While growing up my dad and mom always work, oh how I hated crawling out of my nice warm bed on mornings like this. We would have to go out in the cold and just about the time the car started to warm up we had to face the bitter cold once again to head into the sitter's house- all before the first light of day. My children are blessed!!





Dh is out of town for a couple of days, and playing the part of the only parent until he gets back I have very little (read No) time to be creative. I already told him I get all next weekend. I want to take part in Paper Wings Escape. (If you are an angel and haven't checked out Paper Wings, well first shame on you. Secondly, run, do not walk over and check it out. Link to the right.) It is for all of us Angels that for what ever reason are not heading to San Antonio for the "real" Escape with The Angel Company. Projects, discussions, business ideas, prizes, OH MY!!! I am so looking forward to it.

This is another card from the card tin I made as a gift for Christmas. I used Swirly gig and Oopsie daisy (retired) stamps from TAC. I colored with Tombow markers and Tombow blender. The colored cardstock is from Stampin' Up!

Ok, enough rambling for today!!!

Until later~

Challenge card

Here is a card created for a card challenge over on the Paper Wings site. The challenge was to make a window card. I used the Coluzzle cutting system and Nesting Oval template to make the window opening. Perky Penguins is stamped inside of the card, and colored with Prismacolor pencils and a colorless blender pencil. The paper just retired from The Angel Company- Vintage Holiday. The Sentiment is Trendy Greetings, also from TAC. A little Stickles for bling, and this is a very easy card to make.

Hello

Another card. I love this butterfly, too bad it is now retired. The papers are from a DCWV mat stack. The butterfly was stamped onto the designer paper.

Until later~

My little Studio

I am very blessed to have a space to call my own. I started out with EVERYTHING in a Crop bag, moved to a Iris tote (the tall narrow tower), and now it takes up almost a whole room. I know that I could add shelves and do some things differently, but I will wait until we have our own house- someday. You will see that the Studio is the perfect place to display my water globes- there they are safe from little hands. My Studio.

Are you ready for a New Year?

What are your goals for the New Year? Last New Years Eve my sister and I made a "Life List". I have only done a few things on my list this year- I ate Elk, and I rode in a helicopter. I also added TN to my list of states visited.My sister on the other hand got a good chunk of hers done. When we do one thing, it is replaced with something new.

I know this will sound silly- but I did not get enough of Christmas! LOL The creating part, that is. I still have several things on my list I didn't get finished in time for this year. MAYBE, if I start now I will be ready next year??

Here are a couple of the cards I made for Jessica's card tin this year.

All Images are from The Angel Company. The papers are some that I have been "saving" for something special. LOL

Until later~

Quick sneak peek

Guess what came in the mail yesterday.......

the brand new TAC Inspiration Book. Oh my goodness, I have such a long wish list!! There are several sets that can be used for Faithbooking. And the new papers are so gorgeous!!! I can not wait for you to see everything!!

Ok, off to do some more drooling.

BTW- the new doggy is doing great, her and Hailey are bestest friends. Hunter has started calling her Belle, and I think I like that name better. :-)

Until later~
