New Releases at DRS Designs!

Just wanted to let you know that the January releases at DRS Designs are now on the web site and ready for purchase. There are some awesome stamps in this month's release. I think this is my favorite release yet. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to play with mine yet so I don't have a card to share yet. I plan on putting in some heavy duty stamping time in the next week so hopefully I will have lots to share! Here are pics of a few of my favorite new releases:


Check out the rest of the new releases at the DRS Designs website HERE.

If you haven't signed up for my Blogoversary blog candy you still have time. Check it out HERE.
I promise I will try and get a photo of the candy posted later today.

Thank you to all of you for your kind words about my first day back to work. I'm still a little nervous but I'm sure that will fade as I get the hang of things.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge!

**Don't forget to sign up for my Blogoversary blog candy HERE!**

Welcome to the first Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge of 2009. Every Tuesday, we will have a fun challenge and we would love it if you would play along. You don't have to use Jacksonbelle goodies on your card to play along, any stamps and supplies are ok. But if you are interested in saving some big $ on stamping supplies... Lindsey has put lots of new stuff in the *clearance* section to make room for the new releases from CHA. There are some AWESOME (and I do mean AWESOME) deals on Prima, Basic Grey, and lots more right now! Oh, don't forget that Jacksonbelle has 4 brand new Shimmerz Blingz EXCLUSIVE colors!

This weeks challenge is a sketch challenge. I have to warn you, I think my mojo may have decided that Florida was a much better place to live. I'm hoping it changes its mind and makes the long trek back to Wisconsin, LOL! This definitely isn't the mojoiest card I've ever made.
If you decided to play along with this weeks challenge, please link to the JBE blog and/or use the keywords: JBE034 when uploading to online galleries.

Here is this weeks sketch:

Here is my card:

Here is a close-up to show the Shimmerz/BlingzSupplies used: Inkadinkado stamps, Memory Box DP, SU CS, Prima ribbon, Coal Shimmerz, Poinsettia Blingz, Foam dimensionals.

I'm Home!!!! (and I have some blog candy!)

Well, I am finally home. Florida was absolutely wonderful and I actually shed a fear tears as we drove home today when I realized that I live in Wisconsin. I hate winter! I miss the sunny warm weather!
Vacation was awesome, but now that we are home I am TOTALLY stressed out. It is going to take me a month to unpack and organize our stuff and I have over 700 emails to sift through. Not to mention that I haven't stamped in over 2 weeks and I have tons of awesome new DRS Designs stamps and a mother load of Jacksonbelle Embellishment goodies sitting here waiting for me to use.
Oh and to top things off did I mention that I am starting a new job on Tuesday. I have been a stay at home mom for over 4 1/2 years and I'm starting a part time job working as a lab manager in a biochemistry lab at the UW. The hours are flexible and part time seems like a good way for me to slowly work my way back into the scientific community...
Oh and I also forgot to mention that less than half hour after we got home this afternoon, Beckett slipped and fell on our kitchen floor and knocked one of his front teeth loose...lots of blood, lots of crying, not fun! I had my sister take a look since she is a dental hygeintist and she thinks it will probably be ok....
Oh and then to add to my already skyrocketing stress when I logged in to my blog today I see the little sign saying...today is my blogoversary. How could I have forgotten about this. I wanted to have a little count down celebration and I totally missed doing that...heck I almost missed my blogoversary completely.
So even though there is no count down to my blogoversary celebration...I am still giving away some blog candy. Because I have only been home for a couple hours I don't have a picture of it yet but I'll assure you now that it will be a good one! (I'll try and post a picture by tomorrow night - If I'm not in a stress induced coma by then, LOL).
All you have to do for a chance to win is leave me a comment on THIS POST and tell me your favorite stress reducing activity. For all of you who are "Followers" of my blog, please leave a second comment for an extra chance to win. AND...if you want your name thrown into the pot a third time, just post a link to my blog on your blog and leave me comment telling me you did.
Easy as pie! I will leave this blog candy open for 1 week so you have until 5PM CST on Saturday January 10th to enter!

Thank you to all of you for making my first year of blogging such a success!!!!
Happy New Year!!!!
