Christmas in July

I keep seeing Christmas cards popping up on people's blogs lately so I decided to start playing around with my new DRS designs Christmas stamp. From the first time I saw this stamp I knew that I wanted it, but I wasn't sure what I would do with it. For this card I decided to paper piece the Christmas bulbs and then create a sentiment with some rub-ons that I had laying around. The words "peace on EARTH" are all made with individual rub-on letters. To add a little more zing I added some glitter, double ribbon and some corner gems. I went with a simple layout again due to the size of the main image. Stamp is from DRS Designs, CS and ribbon comes from SU, rub-on letters are CK, the background DP is Basic Grey, the dp on the bulbs is from DCWV and from that handy SAMS club pack and the corner gems are once again from Target (sorry don't know the brand).
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Sunflower Saturday


Here is another card I made with my new DRS Designs stamps. I love this huge sunflower stamp! I colored it with a combination of Prismacolor markers and Prismacolor pencils/OMS. The glitter is Art Institute and Martha Stewart. CS, hodgepodge and the chocolate ribbon come from SU and the green ribbon is May Arts. Almost forgot...the leaves are Prima.
I hope you are having a wonderful start to your weekend. We don't have any set plans (which I love) so you never know what lies ahead for us this weekend...although, I have a feeling we are going to be shopping for some new mini blinds and then I'm hoping for a whole lot of stamp time! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

TGIF!

It's Friday, YAY!!! It has been a long week and I had hoped to take the kids to the zoo or something today but the weather has been a little unpredictable the past few days so I'm not sure what we are going to do.
Today's card was a fun one! A few weeks ago I got some new stamps from DRS Designs, and I finally found some time to play with them. As you all know I love butterfly stamps, and DRS has A LOT of cool butterflies to choose from. The butterflies I used on this card can be found in their "background" catagory. It is a 4 corner background stamp that I cut apart into individual stamps. It is really hard to tell from the picture, but the butterflies are cut out and popped up with dimensionals. All stamps are DRS Designs, CS, glitter and hodgepodge are SU and the black gems in the corners came from Target. The ribbon was a gift so I'm not sure the manufacturer. I hope you all have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!

SC184


I don't do the SCS card sketch challenges very often but I thought this week's sketch was really cool. The sketch had squares where I put the flowers but I just couldn't make it look right with squares under the flowers. I like how this turned out but for some reason feel like it still needs something. After having it all glued together I wish I had stamped the sentiment on vanilla instead of white but hind sight is 20/20.
The stamps are from Verve Stamps, DP is Cosmo Cricket (still using my scraps from the piece I cut up the other day), CS and brads are SU, flowers are Maya Road, ribbon is American Crafts.
Thanks for stopping by!

What's the word, bird....again!


OK, so I have to say that it is hard to come up with a different blog post title every single day. I feel a little lame saying "happy (fill in day of the week here)" all the time so I try to change it up a bit. I know yesterday was what's the word bird and now here it is today...I can't think of anything else so What's the word, bird...AGAIN. It's ok with me though, because same as yesterday, it still makes me smile.
Here is another really simple card. It follows the July Sheet Loads template (sort of). I needed a card to send to a friend, for no particular reason, so what better sentiment than...What's the word, bird. Isn't this bird image cute? It is from Inkadinkado and I bought it yesterday in the $1 bin at Joann's. They had a bunch of really cute Inkadinkado clear stamps in their $1 bin so of coarse I didn't just buy one. For this card I *attempted* to make it look like clouds behind the bird. Not sure if I succeeded but in the end I thought they looked ok. I cut some clouds out using my Cricut machine and then used them as a mask and sponged around them. The ribbon is more of my American Crafts Target clearance find (I should have bought more). DP is from that handy dandy SAMS club pack that I have been talking about for months and the CS is SU.
The glitter is Art Institute and the pearls were from the Target $1 spot.
I hope you all have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by.

What's the word, bird.


For some reason I love this sentiment from Inkadinkado...What's the word, bird.
I smile every time I read it.
This is a really simple card layout - mainly because the Gina K owls image is huge. There wasn't much room left on the card after I matted the image. I colored the owls, branch and leaves with pencils and OMS and then added some Art Institue glitter to the leaves for a little sparkle. The brown ribbon is SU and the blue is American Crafts (I got a bunch of 3 yard spools of American Crafts ribbon on clearance at Target for $0.98). The CS is SU and the DP is once again Cosmo Cricket Gretel. I notched the corners but couldn't find the right color brads or gems to go so for now I just left them empty.
I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!

Pictures from the 4th.

I don't have a card to share with you this morning but I promise if you stop back this afternoon I will have one for you. Instead, this morning I thought I would share a couple pictures from the 4th of July. Someone in our neighborhood is a firefighter and as a special treat for the kids on the 4th, they drove a fire truck through the neighborhood (very slowly) so the kids could have a parade behind the truck (with it's lights and siren going). Lots of kids had their bikes decorated for the 4th. It was really neat to see the kids having such a great time. For some reason stuff like that really gets me choked up. I cried watching the kids get so excited over the fire truck. In fact I have tears streaming down my face as I write this. There is something so special about the innocence of a child. Annabelle rode her bike and Beckett rode in the wagon with our neighbor's daughter. It was only a short parade but the kids will remember it forever.
Thanks for stopping by this morning. I plan on stamping later this morning and will post again later today. Have a great day!

Sweet n Sassy stamps - Fundraiser Info

Just in case you haven't seen it yet, Sweet n Sassy stamps are doing a fundraiser for a great cause. Now through the end of the month 50% of all stamp sales will be donated to a family whose 19 month old daughter is going through chemotherapy (she also has Down Syndrome). If you were ever thinking of buying stamps from Sweet n Sassy, now is a great time to do it.

Hope you are all having a great night!

Mini Golf Fun

I had planned on posting a card this morning but for the life of me I can't find the picture (and when I say can't find I mean I went through our entire iPhoto library and it is not there). The worst part about this is I actually ended up tearing the card apart to salvage a piece off of it and threw the rest away. If I find it later I will post.
So instead, here are a few pictures of our mini golf adventure from a couple weeks ago. This was the first time the kids had ever mini golfed and it was definitely a challenge! They had fun though, so it was definitely worth it.
I hope you all have a terrific day! Thanks for stopping by!

Stamping again, Woohoo!!!



I got more stamping time in this morning, yay! I was up WAY before everyone in the house so I decided to head to the basement for some ME time!! I bought this stamp a couple weeks ago and I'm so glad I finally got to play with it a bit. The main image is "Bird Duet" from Inkadinkado. I got mine from Jacksonbelle Embellishments (I also got the "Bird Quartet" but haven't inked that one up yet). The sentiment is from a clear Inkadinkado set (but I can't remember the name right now, sorry - I'll edit this later when I find the name). The DP is from that yummy Cosmo Cricket Gretal pack that I got at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago. The CS is all SU.
I hope you are all having a great Monday! Thanks for stopping by!

RAK request

Hope everyone is having a great week. It has been a tough day for our family. My uncle passed away this morning. He had been dealing with some health issues but it was still a shock to lose him at such a young age (he was only in his 50's). It is going to be a rough couple days and I don't expect to be posting anything crafty for a few days. This is going to be especially hard for my mom and if you could all keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has an extra sympathy card laying around and wouldn't mind sending a card to her please send me an email (thlr2003@gmail.com) and I will forward her address to you.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'm planning on stamping later today but I thought I would share some movie reviews this morning.
Last night we watched:
Charlie Bartlett- I thought it was a good movie. Kinda fits into the category of dramedy...part drama, part comedy. Overall I thought it was really good.
I also watched a few other movies this week:
National Treasure II - I really liked it but you really have to let go of any sense of reality when you watch. Totally far-fetched, fun action flick.
Definitely, Maybe - I REALLY liked this one. Total chick flick. Definitely recommend.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - The sequel to this movie is coming out this summer (and it looks cute) so I wanted to see the first one before the 2nd one comes out. It was good. I am planning on hitting the theatre to see the sequel.
Becoming Jane - Still feeding my Jane Austen obsession (I have her books on hold at the library too, but I'm currently reading Harry Potter and want to finish those first). This movie was good, although somewhat slow in places and a little depressing. I think Ann Hathaway did a great job playing Jane, but I'd put this on the "if you have nothing else better to do" watch list.

I hope to be back later with something crafty, but we'll see. We have a lot of house projects going on today so I'm crossing my fingers that they go smoothly and I get some stamping time.
Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Sketch Challenge SC182

I don't do the SCS sketch challenges very often but I really liked this week's sketch (and I've seen a lot of cute cards on other people's blogs made with this week's sketch). To make the background squares a decent size I had to make this a really big card (6x6). I didn't have great lighting when I took the pictures so the colors are a bit off. The cardstock base is a chocolate chip color. The layers are Ruby Red. The DP is this delish Cosmo Cricket paper that I got at Hobby Lobby this week (sb paper is 50% off this week @ HL). The bird stamp is from the clear Inkadinkado set "Birds Galore" (Thanks Kisa!) and the sentiment is from Verve Visual. I also used Prismacolor markers and pencils along with some SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the bird. Not sure the manufacturer of the ribbon (sorry).
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!


TGIF!

I didn't get to stamp yesterday so I got up early this morning and headed straight for the basement. If I can't stamp during the day, I might as well get up before everyone else and stamp in peace and quiet. I got this butterfly stamp set in the mail from Kisa earlier in the week and I have been dying to play with it. I love butterfly stamps...especially ones that you can paper piece easily. There are 4 different stamps in this set and I love all of them! This is just a simple no sentiment card. I mainly just wanted to experiment with the butterflies. When I first started I made all three thinking I was going to line them up across the card except they didn't fit (after I had already glued all the mats together), oops! I decided to try the zig zag layout and thought it turned out ok. Nothing too exciting, just playing around!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Thursday, June 26, 2008

Have you been wondering where I am?

Probably not, but I'll tell you anyway...nowhere. I have just been sitting at home all week accomplishing nothing. I wish I had a card or something to share but I haven't had time this week to do anything crafty. I have to babysit today which probably means no stamping time again but we'll see. I hope you are all having a great week and I hope to have something to share soon!

I cannot get Blogger to cooperate with me today. I've tried moving this photo down but apparently it really wants to stay at the top of this blog post. So anyway, here is a card I started working on yesterday and finally found some time this morning to actually glue it together. All stamps are from Inkadinkado. DP is Basic Grey and CS is SU!.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!

Finally, a project this week

I haven't had much time to do anything crafty what so ever this week. I wanted to try and get a couple cards done but I just couldn't find enough time. My sister asked me a couple weeks ago if I would make a name frame for their neighbor's little girl. I of coarse waited until the last minute and didn't start it until today (she needs it on Saturday). This is a lot bigger frame that I have done in the past. The photo area is 20"x8". I cut the letters with my Cricut. I had wanted them to go straight across but after I had them all cut out they wouldn't quite fit in the frame in a straight orientation and I didn't want to hassle with cutting all new letters at a smaller size. All of the DP used is Basic Grey and the CS is Stampin Up!. I stamped the purple letters with SU Linen and French Script. The frame was natural wood color so I spray painted it with white spray paint. I hope she likes it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Some movie reviews

Well, nothing new on the craft front, but I did watch a couple movies over the past week...
Once - as I've said before, this was a good movie. The music is awesome. I just bought the soundtrack today. Highly recommend! I'm thinking of putting this one back in our Netflix queue so that I can watch it again.
The Namesake - I really liked this to, but it is a little slow to get going. Definitely more on the artsy, Sundance side than mainstream movies.
Fool's Gold - Cheesy chick flick...loved it! How can any woman not love a cheesy romance movie filled with a shirtless Matthew McConaughey?

Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!

The Swell Season were FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

The concert was PHENOMENAL, AWESOME, INCREDIBLE...!!!! I have been to A LOT of concerts in my life and this was by far my favorite. The entire group is just amazing. Glen Hansard is hilarious and super talented. He plays the same beat up guitar that he played in the movie. Everything about the whole concert was incredible! I don't know how to add YouTube videos to my posts but I have some links to some videos of them performing. If you have any time, definitely check these out - they are definitely worth watching!

Falling Slowly - Live at Sundance
Falling Slowly - Letterman Performance
When Your Mind's Made Up
Lies

If these links don't work, just do a YouTube search for The Swell Season...there are tons of great videos.

There will be no stamping today because after the late night last night (we didn't get home until almost midnight) I am pretty much a non-functional human being today...but it was SO worth it! If you ever get the opportunity to see The Swell Season LIVE...run, don't walk, to the ticket office! You won't regret it!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Guess What!!!!!

They just opened up some seats for tonight's sold out The Swell Season concert. So with less than 2 hours notice we decided to be spontaneous and got tickets (GOOD tickets!). If you aren't familiar with The Swell Season, they are the 2 actors from the movie Once. The two actors wrote and sang the songs for the movie and won the Academy Award for best song. I just watched this movie last week and was going to write about it on here today but ran out of time. The movie was good, but music was phenomenal. I can't wait to hear them in person! I will let you know how it was, tomorrow. Hope you all have a wonderful night!

Another Sunday post

Well, no sign of those severe afternoon storms (yet), but I spent some time in the basement this afternoon anyway. Here is the card that I just spent WAY TOO LONG making. I have really struggled the last couple weeks with my card making and I really wanted to make something good. I guess this card would fall into the almost good catagory. I'm not 100% thrilled with it but it is a definite start to getting my mojo back. The sunflower stamp is from The Angel Company and the background is SU's French Script. I colored the sunflower with pencils and OMS and then layered a second flower over the top. The ribbon is SU's chocolate chip taffeta ribbon. This was the first time I have used it and I have to say it is pretty nice. Glitter on the flower petals is Art Institute Lions Mane and the flower center is Martha Stewart Brownstone.

Thanks again for stopping by. I promise there won't be a 3rd Sunday post since I have a movie I want to watch yet tonight. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

Happy Father's Day!

Hope everyone is having a lovely day. The weather is beautiful right now but they are forcasting some nasty storms with hail for this afternoon.
Here is another card I made during my stamping time yesterday. Images are Inkadinkado and Hero Arts. CS is SU! and DP is Basic Grey.
I'm in a bit of a stamping rut this past week or so. I hope I can find my stamping mojo soon!

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Hope everyone is having a great week. We have yet more rain coming our way today. I don't have anything to share yet today but hopefully after I get this house cleaned up I will find time to make those last 2 Father's Day cards for Kris. I hope you are all having a great day!

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

I actually stamped something!

I finally found a little bit of stamping time yesterday and I didn't even spend it staring at the wall. I have been in a huge stamping rut and the previous 2 times I went to stamp I just sat there...staring...accomplishing nothing....blank mind. Fortunately, yesterday I decided to actually stamp. My friend Kris has asked me to make 3 different Father's Day cards for her. This is the first one I came up with. The stamps are from Verve Visual and Stampin Up!. DP is Basic Grey and CS is Stampin Up!.

I hope everyone is having a great start to their week. We are headed to the zoo for a playdate with one of Annabelle's preschool friends and then this afternoon Beckett is getting a MUCH NEEDED haircut.
On the movie scene, I have only gotten 1 movie in the past several days and it was Mama's Boy...not great. Funny in a few parts but not one I would recommend. Hopefully I will have a couple more later this week. Tom started moving his movies to the top of the Netflix queue so I'm not getting as many of my movies as I would like. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Monday, June 9, 2008

I haven't had any time to stamp in several days so I thought I would share a card that I made about a year ago. Simple card but I liked how it turned out. Hopefully I will find some time this week to create something new.

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday. Thanks for stopping by!

Friday, June 6, 2008

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone. Well our trip to the doctor with Annabelle yesterday turned out fairly well (at least for us, not sure she would agree). I had Tom take her to the appointment while Beckett and I did some grocery shopping (Beckett is TOO crazy when you coop him up in a tiny doctor's office). So we found out that along with asthma she is extremely allergic to tree pollen, especially maple. Fantastic since our sole tree in our yard is a maple and it is basically right out her bedroom window. The doctor said that trees typically shed their pollen at night so we should not be sleeping with our windows open. She is now on a steroid nose spray that she will have to take daily from March to July every year. They gave us a whole plan of action to follow. It has been a lot to take in, but at least we know now and can maybe help prevent these awful allergy attacks in the future.
Now, onto a new card. I am on a butterfly kick lately. I have always loved butterfly stamps and now I love butterfly punches. This punch is one from the Martha Stewart line that is sold at Michael's. When I first saw it I knew that someday I would break down and buy it. I'm so glad M's is now accepting coupons on the MS line. The stamp set used is a clear set from Heidi Grace. Other than that, the card is pretty simple...SU cardstock and dp and some Paper Studio bling (didn't throw the packaging away on these yet).
Oh and yesterday we watched Enchanted (again) and I still LOVE IT, plus I also watched The Devil Wears Prada (I thought it was good but not great). Definitely worth watching sometime when you don't have anything else going on but not one to plan a party around.
I'm sure some of you are wondering what the heck is going on with my movie watching frenzy and I have to tell you, I am loving it. I haven't watched ANYTHING in like 3 years (maybe 5 movies total during that time). I finally decided to take some time for myself and I am loving it. I usually put a movie in for the kids on the big screen in the living room and then I either watch mine on the computer in the office or on the kids' portable DVD player laying in bed. This totally beats me having to watch Dora Saves the Mermaid or Scooby Doo for the 20th time. So as long as we can keep it up I will continue down my list of chick flicks that you all so wonderfully suggested!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Check out that new blog banner!!!

I know this is my 2nd post in the past 12 hours but had to post something to celebrate my new blog banner. My AWESOME friend Kisa outdid herself with this one. I may have to start paying her. Yesterday I sent her a message asking if she could put together a banner for me with these pictures. I just LOVE it!!!! Thank you SO much!!!!
I also thought I would share another butterfly card I made. This is almost exactly like the orange butterfly card I posted a couple days ago. I honestly loved that card so much I thought I would try it in another color. I think I like the orange one better but this one still turned out pretty, IMO.
The butterfly is from the Inkadinkado set "Garden Delight" and the sentiment this time is from PTI's "Out On A Limb".

I have another butterfly themed card (don't worry, not the same card this time) to share tomorrow. Hope you all have a great day. We are headed out to the asthma specialist in about half hour. Wish us luck! Thanks for stopping by!

Wherever you go...


go with all your heart. I love the sentiment on this stamp. I knew from the first time I saw this stamp that I had to buy it. I'm not typically a collage-ish kinda stamper but like I said, I just love this stamp. The stamp is from Paperbag Studios. They carry a huge variety of collage/vintage style stamps.
Only problem with the stamp is that it is pretty big. It doesn't leave much room on an A2 size card for much else. The stamp is stamped on Basic Grey paper with Palette Noir ink. All other cardstock is SU. The funky stitched border is Daisy D's rub-on tape that I bought from JacksonBelle Embellishments (thanks to Kisa and her awesome creations, I had to buy some!). The gems are once again a mystery brand from Target.
I hope you are all having a terrific week. Tomorrow we finally get to take Annabelle to the asthma/allergy specialist. It seems like we have been waiting for this appointment FOREVER. I hope they are going to be able to tell us something. Cross your fingers for us!
Oh and before I forget, today's movies were:
Enchanted - LOVED IT...even with it being the 6th time I've seen it, still loved it... I'm sure I will watch it again since we own this one
Mad Money - it was ok, but I wouldn't recommend it. One of those movies that if there is absolutely nothing else in the world that you could do then maybe watch but don't go out of your way to see it.
Thanks for stopping by!

It's Tuesday, yay...

Well, it's Tuesday. Can you tell I'm thrilled...not. I'm a bit tired and crabby today. The house was really hot last night and I didn't sleep well, even with a fan blowing on me. We are trying to save money by not turning the air on in the house until we absolutely have to. I think it was 78 in the house when I went to bed...too hot! Plus as I laid in bed, my toe just throbbed in pain. I hope the pain goes away soon. I didn't think it looked as bad this morning but I am babying it BIG TIME!
The good thing is, today is our one day this week when we have absolutely nothing planned. No appointments, no swimming lessons, nothing. BLISS! Maybe I will stamp...or clean :(
Here is a card I made for the JacksonBelle Embellishments Inkadinkado challenge. The challenge was you had to make a card using Inkadinkado stamps that JB carries in her store.
I haven't used this Birds Assortment set in a while so I gave it a go. I also used the Inka set "Flowery Flourishes" (not sure if she carries that set or not). For the sentiment, I used the "what's the word, bird" sentiment from the Bird Assortment set but I cut it up into single words. I've found that with clear stamp sets this is totally ok to do as they fit back together and line up fairly easily on acrylic blocks. I colored the birds with Prismacolor markers. The paper is SU and the gems are from ??. I should probably stop taking stuff out of their orignial packages so that I know where they came from.
What do you think?


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

Back to work

Well, it was good while it lasted but Tom's vacation is officially over. It was kinda nice having a little help around the house for the past week or so. With preschool done for the year I thought we would have a wide open schedule...nope. Not this week at least. Today both kids have a make-up swimming lesson and I have a PT appointment to try and fix my aching back. We have regular swimming lessons on Wed., Annabelle has an appointment with a allergy/asthma specialist on Thursday and I'm babysitting my 1 year old niece and a friend of Annabelle's on Friday. YIKES! I hate having such a full schedule. To make things worse....my toe still hurts, BAD! I was going to take a picture of it to share but then I thought that would be so gross. I won't expose you all to that.
I did get a lot of stamping time yesterday and thought I would share one of my cards. I made this card for the weekly challenge on the Hero Arts blog. They give a challenge (every Monday, I think) and you have a week to work on it. I don't own many Hero Arts stamps which makes the challenges even more of a challenge. This past week the challenge was to use Hero Arts stamps and incorporate a circle or circles on your project.
Here is what I came up with:

Stamps are all Hero Arts, Cardstock is SU!, Glitter is SU!, ribbon is misc vendors and that's all folks! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful week!

I almost forgot...I watched some pretty good movies this past week:
Avatar Book 3, vol.3....LOVED it!!! Highly recommend!!!
Evan Almighty...this was pretty good. Suitable for the whole family. Pretty funny in parts.
27 Dresses....LOVED it! Actually considered watching it a second time yesterday but decided to stamp instead.
In the queue this week...P.S. I love you, The Devil Wears Prada and Mad Money. I'll let you know how they are.


Sunday, June 1, 2008

Happy Sunday! It is sunny and beautiful here today. I thought this card would be a great card to share on this beautiful 1st day of June (I can't believe it is June alredy!).
I love this black eyed Susan stamp and unfortunately I have no idea what stamp company it is from. It is one of the many purchases that were enabled by threads I've read on SCS. About a year and a half ago I saw a thread about a stamp company having a half price sale on all of their unmounted rubber...of coarse I couldn't resist. I bought a few stamps but never kept track of where I actually bought them from. If anyone recognizes this stamp and knows where I got it I would love to know. The cards details are as follows: CS=SU , DP=DCWV , Sentiment= TAC (I think from the set Rose sentiments), Gems= Target (I took them out of their package so I don't know the manufacturer), Glitter= Doodle Bug, Coloring=Prismacolor markers.

I hope you all enjoy this wonderful day! Today is Tom's last day of vacation so we are going to try and get a little more family time in before he heads back to his hectic work schedule tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by today!
