Celebrate!

I saw a card in a advertisiment last year and I finally got around to copying the sketch. I loved the circle, which I usually struggle with, so I jumped on this one. LOL!

So I got to work using the bazzill greens, the designer collection A little whimsy, linear sentiments for the background, little cupcake set. Then on the inside it says" I just read a report that said birthdays are good for you." and that is from the great greetings set. I also used my scor-pal along with my scor bug.

Let me know what you think.

Holiday Time

Can you believe it? The holidays are almost here! I just got used to writing 2009. Now, I am going to have to start all over again.

This may have been the hardest year yet, aside for losing my parents. I think we have struggled more in everything. I mean is it just me or did a switch get turned that said everything this year had to be difficult??

I love the fall, so as it starts to pass it makes me reflect on the year. I am thankful that my family is healthy, happy, and have enough. My wish for the coming year is that I am able to help my friends and family more. I just feel like I have really been lacking this year. Now don't get me wrong I am always busy with work, kids, school, home and volunteering. I just see many families struggling and that is when I wish I could do more.

Well, this card was inspired by my friend Melinda who is always helping me. Mindy, I wish I could wrap you in a hug everyday. You are a Rock Star! She is a helping hand when you do not even realize that you need one. She is an angel, and she means the world to me.

Angie's sketch is perfect, it really has a lot of possibilities. I came up with a holiday card using the Artsy Owl and tag tidbit sets. Can you tell I am trying to work ahead? LOL!

This sketch is all mine, and I went for quick and easy.

I just did a Christmas swap and I went way overboard

making them elaborate. So I am glad that is one was easy.

It helped me to keep my sanity.

I used the Tea for Two set out of the Inspiration Avenue catalog.

I also used the More Mimi SWIC and the Matching Cardstock.

So that saves so much time, when everything matches.

Little Bear

This set reminds me of my own little bear. See when John was a couple years younger he took the shampoo and poured it all over the entire bathroom. Well, I said " You're silly" it was that or pull my hair out.

So this little bear will always remind me of where we have been.

Christmas Waterfall Card

I created this waterfall card, for the upcoming holiday season. I am hoping to get enough people signed up for a Christmas stamp a stack class. So, if you are interested please let me know I am looking at the November 28th weekend.

This is the new Simply Joy set from the Inspiration Avenue Catalog.

Tea for Two

I recently got the chance to play with the new Tea for Two set from the Inspiration Catalog. This set is so much fun, and you could use it in so many ways. You could use it for invitations for a tea with ladies, or a friendship card, or a get well card, or thinking of you card.

I made my card into a tri-fold and added a few pockets so that I could include a couple of packets of tea.

This is a sketch from Melinda, I have to say I enjoyed this one. I am totally into clean lines and rectangles. Sometimes when I see a sketch it looks like something to me and I have to force myself not to make my card into that thing. Well, this card said Nautical flag to me...crazy I know this! But I had to work extra hard not to make my card into a Nautical flag. LOL!




So, I thought hard and decided to use a set that I love and often forget to use. The ladybug is from the Doodle Bug set and the sentiment is from Funny Farm Phrases.

Hope you like it, if you do please let me know.
