Oh, Emma, you are so frightfull! LOL!
Emma likes to sleep on the top bunk bed. I took these photos of her during one of her 12 hour naps. Her big yawn looks so scary, doesn't it?
The paper is Basic grey figgy Pudding, the card stock is bazzill bling, the chipboard letters are from maya road and the title is done with my new favourite thing, the American crafts mini marks rub-ons.
This was made for Jen's sketch challenge. All products are Stampin' Up.
Stamps: Nursary Necessities
CS: Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Confetti Cream
Ink: Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip
Acc: sponges, star punch, dimensionals, taupe ribbon
Playing around with my new SU set, Happy Heart Day.
Colleen wanted a break from Christmas and asked to see our valentine projects.
All products are from Stampin' Up.
I was doing my daily blog roll, and saw that Di Hickman posted her Wednesday card sketch. I haven't done one of Di's sketches in a long time. So when I saw all the layers, I KNEW I waould use my Basic Grey Figgy Pudding paper. (I'm down to less than half a sheet each pattern).
I wandered away from the sketch a bit (as I'm known to do) but ocverall, I'm happy.
Winter is good for at least one thing....taking awesome photos! (If you click on the photo, you will get a bigger image to see the detail).
I am really into clustering photos on LOs lately...I think that comes from visiting Leena's blog. Her pages are FAB!
I used Gel-a-Tin's Retro Snowflakes and random-stamped them in Ballet Blue ink along the side. I also stamped CTMH Christmas Script words along the photos. The 2007 was stamped onto navy card stock and cut out. The chipboard snowflake was inked in Night of Navy. The card stock is Bazzill bling in light blue and SU Night of Navy.
This LO uses Bazzill bling cardstock in navy and light blue. I love the sparkle this card stock has! The snowflake transparancy is from Hambly. I picked it up at Scrap En Masse in Alfred. The top photo of Kaleb is under the transparancy, so it looks like Kaleb is in a blizzard, and the other photos are on top of the transparancy. The title was stamped using CTMH The Works alphabet. I used some words from CTMH Christmas Script and stamped on the photo and transparancy with black StazOn.
I have been tagged by so many lately, like Angel, Sam and Sue, so I guess i'd better play, huh? LOL!
Seven Random Facts About Me...
1-Like Angel, I have Webkinz. I have 15. The first was a l'il Kinz Elephant I named Marshall and the most recent is the Collie I named Colleen. I like to play Webkinz at night for about an hour, just so my mind can have a break.
2-I love TV. I really do. Among the shows I enjoy: So You Think You Can Dance, Lost, CSI (all), Criminal Minds, The Class, Two and a Half Men, Dirty, Sexy Money, Cane (I am in love with Nestor Carbonell who plays Frank), The OC...I'm sure there's more.
3-I love to read. The last book I read was Roots by Alex Haley and I read it in 2 days.
4-I love to stamp. (D'uh)
5-I would be lost without the internet. Once, the internet was down for one day and I almost lost my mind.
6-I hate driving.
7-The only good thing I like about Winter is the awesome photographs I can take. Nothing else about this season is even remotely pleasing.
I got my SU preorder on Friday and I LOVE everything! I mounted the stamps and started stamping right away! I think my favourite is the Nursery Necessities set with the matching wheel and star punch! Here are 3 different cards using the 3 items I just mentioned. Enjoy!

OK, I JUST thought of a fun game! See that photo of my table in my last post? You need to look at that photo to play this game! It is open world wide.
OK, there are tons of stuff on that table. You will need to answer these questions to win. (You can cheat and just post the answers based on the comment before you, but what fun is that? Plus, whose to say they are correct?) So this is basically based on the honor system. Look at the photo, answer the questions, and I will pick a winner.
A winner? But what can you win?
Well, I haven't decided yet, cause I JUST thought up this game, literally like 3 minutes ago. But I am going shopping tomorrow, so I will post a picture then.
Questions:
On my scrap table, tell me:
-how many pairs of scissors?
-how many stamp sets in cases?
-what colour markers?
-what colour wide grosgrain ribbon?
-how many loose stamps?
-what colour craft ink?
I'm pretty sure my table is under there somewhere!
On my sidebar, you will see a photo of my scrap space...when it is clean. I thought I'd post a picture of what my table usually looks like! LOL!
There are some stamp sets that are so versatile, you can keep creating brand new designs time after time. For me, Peaceful Wishes is one of those sets. I bought it last year and did my Holiday cards with it, and this year I'm still enjoying creating with it! And I usually get bored so easily! LOL!
Here are some cards I made recently, one for a Stamp-a-Stack and one for a customer. Same set, totally different look!
I love this coffee set. As soon as I saw the sentiment, I had to have it!
"You're the mocha latte in a world full of cheap machine coffee."
LOVE that!
I recieved this beautiful card from Colleen a couple of weeks ago, but I was asked not to share it until now, as she used a technique that she was going to be teaching it on one of her design teams. I LOVE the background!
This festive Christmas card is from Flossie. It is my first holiday card of the season! I am loving red, green and white for Christmas this year!
Thanks for sharing your art with me! It is so fun to get beautiful cards in the mail!These Christmas gift bows are so easy to make! You can make 2 bows from 1 sheet of double-sided paper. For the tutorial, click HERE.
