It's the weekend!

I am heading off to work for the day and looking forward to coming home, cleaning out the garage and scrapping. Sounds exciting, huh? LOL!

I wanted to show some more of the Webster's goodies I created for CHA from the Wonderfall Collection. I loooove the amaZing colors in this line. The Blue is GORGEOUS and the bloomers in this color are my fave, fave, fave. Click here to see what else the amazing design team did with these lines...they always blow me away.

First off, I wrapped a little present :) I also used my Kreaxions punch on here from Just Imagine crafts.

The whimsies are so COOL. you have to RUN and get these when they ship to your LSS!!!!!

Next up is a little journal. This little guy is only about 2"x3". I love altered little things, I don't know why, LOL!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was up???

Happy Wednesday!

Feels like I have been getting things done lately so that makes me feel good, LOL! Too bad today is paperwork day. Every other Wednesday I cringe that fact so after this post, it is time to get to work.

And did I mention it is a full moon week? I know you are going laugh at me but people go crazy during the full moon!

I wanted to share my FTLOA of art cards that I made with the July stamp set. Make sure you stop by for the Card of the Day challenge. I am hosting this week :) I used some June kit goodies on here and some Core'dinations! Don't forget that you can stamp on your Core...it likes it ;) I submitted these guys to Papercrafts. It was my first time subbing to them, wish me luck next time.

I stamped on the Fancy Pants paper from the June it and than ran it through my Cuttlebug and layered it. ON AND there is a Kreaxions punch on here (from Just Imagine Crafts)!!!!!

How cute is that butterfly????

AND speaking of For the Luv of Art Announced their new Digi/Hybrid team!!!

Have a GREAT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Monday! :) ;) ;)

I wanted to give a shout out to everyone arriving at CHA today! It is so exciting. In honor of the festivities, I wanted to share some goodies I made for the Websters Booth. If you haven't seen their sneaks you MUST AND they are having a Guest Designer Call going on now over at the inspireMe site. Oh and the summer catalog is up, too!

This little jar would be perfect with some hot chocolate for a Holiday gift...

Again, Webster's always shows their versatility! You can make any kind of card with this line...not just Holiday related themes.

I added a myStampBOX sentiment to this card so you can see how versatile this line is!

Be Inspired #93 AND some SNEAKS!

Good Morning!!! Today is Cuttlebug Challenge Blog's Be Inspired #93! We played with a sketch today. Here is my take on the sketch...make sure you check out the blog to play along!!! HUGE prizes this week for the Christmas Festival!!!!

I used Core'dinations, Graphic 42 and some other goodies on here. The Cuttlebug Folder is the Textile Folder 37-1153

SPEAKING OF SNEAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Webster's has a ton right now and so does Core'dinations {ah, Graphic 45 Core Impressions!}. THEY ARE AWESOME! I will post more of those Friday. Webster's is posting more and more everyday so make sure you keep on checking back!

AND Kiki art has a few going on right now, too. This is a super cute Halloween Line!

Yeah...we're home!

We are home for GOOD! isn't that exciting?! We had our last trip this weekend and we are done with major traveling for the summer. Insert {sigh} here, LOL! I love to travel more than anything but it just feels good to be home and get settled.

I wanted to share a few more goodies from the LBD kit club July Kit. For this project, I used my Just Imagine punches!!! OH MAN are these aWESomE! you have to check them out.

I used a the cute little flowers that I punched underneath the border punch...how fun is that???

AND this light blue OA paper is actually the bottom part of punch what I punched in the photo above! You can use BOTH parts of what you punch.

Summer Blogging

I can't believe how hard it is to keep up with a blog in the summer! As soon as I get one done, it's like it's time for another one.

We are heading to New Hampshire for a wedding Friday so this I have to at least get one up today ;) ;) ;)

LBD July kit is up!

Here is a fun shot of the cool Vintage treasures you get in this kit!!!

You can check it out here and the blog here for inspiration from the designers.

Here are a few things I did with the kit:

I used a mystampBOX stamp in the journaling the (*love*) is s stamp!!! how cute is that??

I used an Anna Griffin punch to make the large circle and Spellbinder's dies for the smaller ones.

I loved this fun bingo card and other vintage treasures from the kit that I used on this layout.

I put the Sass sticker on a wax piece of paper and then ran it through the cuttlebug to emboss it and cut the scallop shape with a Spellbinder die. I also ran the metal embellie through the cuttlebug, too!

have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Fourth of July!

I have made a pact with myself to make sure I cherish what it means to be free more than just this weekend and I hope you do, too. It is also a reminder of the brave men and women who give us that right every day. THANK YOU!

Here is a card to celebrate this wonderful weekend. I used some of my Webster's Pages scraps for the stars and border along the bottom. I save every piece of it :) This week I am posting the Card a Day challenges this week so head over to the FTLOA forum to check them out. This card is today's challenge...Patriotic Cards :)

Scenic Route has the best chipboard shapes and I stocked up on them. These stars are actually from the remaining piece (I used all the stars on this sheet). I figured it would make a cool mask for something.


Lots of Glimmer Mists....Blues, a touch of red and some Wheatfields.

It is Vacation Time!

It is Friday and we are off for vacation so I will be seeing you next week. Please Please have a save and Happy Fourth of July weekend!!!

I was lucky enough to play with some of the Traveling Stamps over at FTLOA. If you haven't joined over there yet you should! They do a lot of fun stuff like this. Norma designed these specifically for us...aren't they cuuuute? You can do a lot with these...

Here are the cards I created with the stamps. I also used Core'dinations Cardstock {Black Magic on the butterfly and Vintage for the Mauve color and Core Essentials is the white}. I love to stamp on Core'dinations. Even though it is textured, you can still stamp on it.




I used Spellbinders dies for the scallops...the circles fit perfectly!






Have a Great Weekend!

It's Manic Monday for sure! :)

Work Work Work. Just trying to get it all done before Wednesday comes and we leave for vacay. I love how the scrubster springs it on me that the van needs to be serviced before we go. Ah, okay..let me squeeze that in just like i am squeezing in grading finals, group projects and seeing all my clients in the next two days. ARGH! The funny thing is, I would have waited til the last minute anyway....shhhh! ;)

Just wanted to share a layout I did awhile back with the Serendipity May kit. I am feeling sentiment since the day is here the forum closes. I know change is good and having somewhere else to hang my hat does help but I do miss it already. Please check out the store for 70% off!!! There is some BG and Pink Paislee in there yet..not much but some ;)

I random embossed on this layout with my Quickutz and the polka dot folder. My good friend Susan Stringfellow does this on her lo's and i just love it! She is so inspiring to me and was a long time member of the DT over at Serendipity so this is cheers to her ;) Pls check out her blog!

I used my scraps, punched the with my Stampin' Up border punch and layered them....

I also used my Cuttlebug and Spellbinder's dies with some Core'dinations Cardstock.

Okay...time to run and get ready for work and Vacation!!! Only a few more days!!!

It's Friday!

WOOT WOOT!

Can't wait to see the scrubster tonight. The weeks are long without him and the pool at MIL's is calling...scratch that...screaming my name! AND today I am headed to joyce's to meet her and andrea to scrap. My day last friday got cut short b/c henry had a 103 degree fever so I had to get him at daycare. My LBD kit came and I am going to work on that....yipeee!

Just so you know..this was supposed to be posted yesterday but I ran out the door thinking I scheduled it, LOL...so let's talk about Saturday :) So......

The scrubster and I had a nice night last night ;). I have to work today for a few hours and then we are heading over to MILs to swim and grill ALL day :) Can't wait to work on my tan.

There is a FUN FUN contest going on over at FTLOA this month and you have a few more days to get your entries in. There is a fun sketch to work with and it is being hosted by SRM! I love the stickers and use them often on my layouts. Here is my take on the sketch...I used lots of Webster's Garden Gala, an SRM sticker down there at the bottom, and a cluster of myStampBOX stamps, too.

I ran the banner from the PP {cut it out first} through my Cuttlebug:

Here is the cluster of myStampBOX stamps:

And I used some Diamond glaze on here for the water in the bird bath:

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Be Inspired #90

How's the hump day going for you so far? I love Wednesdays because it's Cuttlebug Be Inspired day!!! This week we are featuring inchies. For my card, I cut inchies with some Spellbinders Dies with my Cuttlebug and then embossed them with various folders. The center image is an OA journal sticker with an SRM Sticker. The sentiments are myStampBOX stamps. Papers are OA and Core'dinations cardstock that I sanded.

Since I am still on cloud 9 from the DT announcement over at For the Luv of Art :0 :) :) :) :) I figured I would run with the color combo from Julie Ann's ad challenge again.

And, I am not sure if you can tell but I used my corner rounder on the right hand side of the card only. AND I even embossed the little sentiments :)

Speaking of cards! Here is another one I made this week with tons of Webster's Pages Seaside Retreat (Papers, Cardstock Stickers and trim are all Websters} with some Core'dinations Vintage Cardstock and SRM stickers over the circles.

And ...how can I forget a myStampBOX stamp on here!!! Love this set to pieces....I stamped it right over the cardstock sticker.

Happy Monday! :) ;) ;)

Happy Monday! Thanks for all the awesome comments for the blog hop! Bettina announced a winner over at the myStampBOX blog so head over there ;)

And it is soooo happy for me today! I am so super excited to be part of Norma's new venture over at For the Luv of Art that I could just scream! Well, I might have a bit when Suzy called me, LOL, I did spill my wine. So, if you haven't check it out over there than please do. You will love it and I got my first kit on Friday and it is really fabulous.

Speaking of For the Luv of Art....This week's challenge was based on an ad from Anthroplogy {heart} and it had grey in it and you know me with my grey...I had to jump on it.

I made two projects. The first is this card featuring OA Road Trip, Core'dinations and a myStampBOX stamp. Their Road Trip stamp set and the OA papers are perfect for each other:

Next up is a fun little Card Book that I put together for Brain to take with him when he is gone during the week. He started a new job that takes him away M-F so I thought I would make him a little fun card/book to keep with him {yeah, right} when he is on the road. AND...the super cute Henry is modeling it for us today.

Look how cute the Henerator is posing?!!

Don't mind the cheetos infused shirt and fingers, LOL!

Here is the inside of the book...I just put in a few simple things. I didn't want it to be too big and bulky so he could keep it in the pocket of his laptop bag.

Here is the badge for him to where...

And the back has a pin so he can put it on his shirt. what are the chances he wears this? :)

Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
