This Years

Christmas Card

This is my Christmas card I mailed to my family this year.

Please ignore my last post for some reason it posted the picture of Lucy & I again.

I should really be able to figure out what happened but I can't.

I am patiently waiting for Brown to deliver my new goodies from the

 Mini Catalog. It's scheduled to be delivered Monday.

I will have all kinds of goodies to share with you.

So from now till Monday I will be posting cards I made in December.

Yesterday I took some pictures of Lucy

She is getting so big! Lucy loves the camera and is such a Diva!

I wanted to show you some pictures I found on my camera when I was downloading.

My daughter Madeline and her BFF Katie love to take pictures and this is what

 happened in my house when Jason & I went Christmas shopping!

They are standing my kitchen counter!!

Got love kids!!

Have a Great Night!

Valentines Project

and a Happy New Year!

Well I am so glad the Holidays are over!

It just seems like it's so much work all for one day.

Don't get me wrong I love spending time with family.

 I just think that the world has forgotten what Christmas is all about.

It's just so commercial, just my 2 cents!

Well here is a project I just made yesterday.

I really like the way it turned out!

I am just getting back into stamping and posting on my blog.

But I plan on posting on a daily basis, so please visit me often!

Have a great night!

Christmas Card Share

Here's a card I made using the hostess set from the Holiday Mini

I have been a little under the weather this last week

so I have not posted!

I am teaching classes at our New Hobby Lobby

and I have been busy getting stuff done for those classes

and when I am feeling sick I sleep alot so It is

taking for a little longer to finish up my classes

I'll be back tomorrow with more Christmas card Pictures.

Meet Lucy

the newest member of our family!

Well I did it, got a new puppy and her name is Lucy

we call her LULU. After Jade passed away

I had no plans on getting another dog,

until my daughter Maddy and I were at Wal-Mart

and they were giving these adorable puppies away for Free

I just could not say No to that adorable face!

I knew my Hubby Jason was not going to be happy.

We went to his work and I asked him to come out

to the car and he said "There better not be a puppy in the car"

and there was Lucy with Maddy!

The minute he saw her face and smelled her puppy breath

he was in Love. Now I have lost my hubby to Lucy.

The guy is crazy about her, you would think we had another baby!

He hold's her, put's her to bed in her kennel and get's down on the floor

to play with Lucy! Is it possible to loose your man to a puppy?

The kids are so excited and King and Mossimo

don't seem to mind her either.

Sorry I did not post a tutorial today, My 2 boys

that have hogged the computer's all day. I plan on waking up early to

post some christmas cards I have been working on.

Case A Card Monday

Good Monday Afternoon!

Every Monday I showcase a card I case from somewhere

in the crafting world. Todays card is from

Dawn McVey and her awesome Blog "My Favorite Things"

Here is Dawn's card!

Dawn is a Great artist, I visit her blog daily for ideas.

Her cards are so much fun and simple yet elegant.

Thanks so much to Dawn for inspiring me.

I'm thinking that I might have to keep this card

instead of sending it out in the mail to someone special!

I might even try to get it published!!

If that's something I can do.

Visit Dawn's Blog and see if she inspires you too.

Tuesday Tutorial...

on Wednesday!!

Sorry I am late, I was behind on this project but love the way it turned out!!

Today's Tutorial is one of my favorites

Stationary Box Holder for 10 cards & Envelopes

It's not my idea and I would love to give credit to the person who

passes this tutorial on to me but I don't know who it is!

Directions

1.Take an 8.5" x 11" piece of card stock

score at 5" and 6 on the 11" side

turn you card stock

2.Score at 2" and 2.5" at the bottom

of the 8.5" side of cardstock

3. Cut along the score marks at the bottom up

to the 2.5". Fold up this small flap and glue down

4. Put a 1/4" hole at 3" from the top and 1/4" from the outside edges and from

the inside scores. To be sure the the cards fit, put a card in each pocket

before punching the holes.

5. Put on the front a matching design for the stationary.

6. Run ribbon thru the holes starting from the right side hole

on the front and then go to the next hole weaving in and out.

7. Place the card and envelopes (5 of  each on each side) under the ribbon.

8. Fold up bottoms. Fold together and tie ribbon.

Have fun with project I know I did and It's easy to make!

I used my new paper from the Holiday Mini  Autumn Meadows

and my new stamp set Falling Leaves from the main Stampin' Up! Catalog.

Case A Card Monday

Please excuse my picture, I have been using photobucket

and don't know how to crop my pictures.

I really need to go back to picasa!

Today's card my daughter Madeline helped

me put it together. I got the idea from a card I saw

in PaperCrafts Holiday Cards 2006!

I am a magazine junky and keep all my magazines

having to do with paper crafting & scrapbooking.

The card is on page 25.

Below are the instructions.

Instructions:

1. Make a 6x6 size card base.

2. Punch at least 5 circles using punches of different sizes from DSPaper

3. Sketch circle on card.

(I used creating memories circle cutter as my template).

Stamp Sentiment in center,

4. Adhere largest punch circles layering with smaller circle to form a Wreath.

5. Tie ribbon in bow, adhere to card

This card is so much fun once your done making it!!

Enjoy!
