Merry Christmas
Sandy Claws....
I just LOVE this stamp set "Crab & Company".
It's not in the Fall & Winter Collection
but it will be in the Spring & Summer Collection!!
You can still order this set, it's on the dormant list!
I think this card is so cute for Christmas Cards but.....
Lots of cutting so if you have allot to send out maybe this card is not for you.

My Friend Charissa is new to Stamping and this is the card we made last week. I think I will make a bunch of these for my Christmas Cards this year!!

But here I am.......
This weeks challenge was to use a picture in my card, so I came up with this 6x6 layout using my favorite picture from this summer!
This is such a great picture of Jason & the kids at Valley Fair amusement park!
Jason works for Toyota and they treated all the Toyota families to a day at Valley Fair Amusement Park! The kids had a great time, they even rode the Roller Coasters!!
I don't like any type of amusement rides, I get really sick!!

Madeline's Card!!

This card my daughter Madeline made a few weeks ago!

Madeline is 11 and loves to go to my desk and stamp!!

She is a great artist, has always been the best in her art class at school!

Until this year when she decided to learn to play the violin and now she tells

me she doesn't like art so much! Maybe because do so much art at home...

Madeline has so many talents & interests.

She has always loved animals and wants to be veterinarian when she grows up!

She also enjoys designing clothes, sewing & anything to do with the computer!

This year she is in 5th grade and has a school laptop for the year!

They use the laptop all day long & bring it home to do homework!

Boy I wish we had that when I was kid!! We did not even have computers!

So I hope you have enjoyed learning more about Madeline!

Enjoy her cute card too...
