Swiss Pixie

Good afternoon all!  I know I had promised you last week that I would be posting new cards.  Please forgive me as there were several unexpected things that came up that caused me to change my plans.  Nothing bad, don't worry, things around here just got a little crazy.

Here is a card using C.C. Designs Swiss Pixies Gretel.   Isn't she a doll?  This stamp was so much fun to color too!  If you're familiar with C.C. Designs stamps then you know that they are all super cute.  On August 3rd. they will be releasing some even cuter images!  I can't wait.

A blog award from Linda and Edward Cullen.....what could be better!

Good evening everyone!  Sorry I didn't post this earlier but I spent the whole day designing a blog for my son's pop warner football team.  Anyhoo, I wanted to post this awesome award that I received from an even more awesome woman....Linda!  You guys all know who she is!  She is not only an inspiring crafter she is a great and caring friend.  She always takes time to visit everyone's blogs and leave the kindest of words.  She and her BFF Kyoko have only had their blogs for a few months but they have sure come a long way and they both ROCK!
Thank you Linda!  I wish to pass this award on to all of you who follow my blog.  It's your uplifting comments that keep me crafting.

  Okay, on top of my blog award Linda also sent me the US Magazines Sexy Stars of Twilight magazine!  How rockin' is that!?  As you all already know, we are both crazy for Edward Cullen!  This magazine makes me drool everytime I look at it!  Thank you Linda, you are so thoughtful!

  When TGF came out with the Edward stamp of course I HAD to buy it!!!  I just knew I had to make Linda a card with it!  I know I'm late since I see that a few of you already beat me to it! lol!  But this is my thank you card to her:



  It's hard to tell in this photo, but I added Crystal Snow glitter by Stampendous to his face and arms.  For those of you that are wondering why his skin is covered in glitter I suggest you GO SEE THE MOVIE!  You won't be disappointed!

  This is the inside of the card.  Anya is supposed to be Bella.
Linda already received her card and goodies so it was safe for me to post it tonight.

Thanks for looking!  Have a great evening!

It's great to be back!

 
  Boy oh boy it's so good to be back!!!  We finally finished moving and the cable guy came out today to hook up my internet.  I felt so lost with no computer all these days!  I had my Blackberry but it just isn't the same!  That little screen just doesn't cut it! LOL! 

   Well, I have been stamping (in between unpacking) and have created some cards.  I'll be posting them over the next few days.

  First up is this 5 x 5 card of Annika from TGF.  I swear she is just a darling!!!!  During the move I received a shipment of paper from My Mind's Eye.  Seen here are "Pirouette and Jazz" from the Penny Lane line.  I just love pink and brown!




Next up is Superstar Anya from TGF.  This little diva is just too cute with her little boa!  This is another 5 x 5 card.  These are so much fun to make.  The papers used are also from My Minds Eye.  I used "lil Girl and Lucky" from the Laundry Line collection.



  Well that's all for today.  I have orders to fill and some unpacking to do.  For those of you that have been emailing me orders, I'm so sorry I could not get back to you earlier.  But since my internet is up and running there shouldn't be any more delay in my reponse time.  Thanks for your patience and understanding.

  Have a wonderful evening!

Aloha Kitty

Happy Friday all!  The past couple days I have been in bed with some kind of cold!  I feel miserable but took a cold tablet and decided to clean my craft area while I'm feeling a little better.  Within the next couple weeks we will be moving to a new house and my craft area is a absolute mess so before I start packing up I have some major cleaning to do.  

Here's a simple card I made a few weeks ago with this darling Hello Kitty Sizzix die.  She's a cutie!

Well have an awesome weekend! TFL!

Teachers Gifts Galore

Okay, so remember I said I had to make 14 teachers gifts?  Well at 1:00 this morning I FINALLY finished!  Not to mention  I had to wake up at 5 this morning to make some Spanish Rice for my daughters class party!  I am wiped out but oh well, since I'm on a roll I'll be doing some vacuuming and I'll shampoo my carpets too.  All this crafting left me so little time to get things done around my house.
  
Okay, now on to the project.
This is not a good picture cause it was in the wee hours and the lighting was so bad but this was made using the "Pack-A-Picnic" template from Papertrey Ink.  I made a variety of different colors and styles but to tell you the truth I was in no mood to have a "photo session" ! LOL!
Here are the contents inside.  I included General Foods International coffee and some chocolate dipped Biscotti.

Here are some cookies that were wrapped in DP.  Just something really simple and fast!  I also made some desktop post-it holders but I wrapped it before taking pictures.  I was so bummed but was in no mood to have to rewrap them again just for a picture.  My brain must have fallen asleep while my body kept going!   Well I'm glad it's over now I can relax and just craft for the joy of it (after I clean the house!).
Okay, I'm off to do some housework!  TFL have a beautiful day!

Fun in the Sun with Trevor and Emma

Good morning!  Hope your Monday is off to a great start!  Well for me it's a bit hectic.  My son woke up this morning with a 103 degree fever!  I just hope he doesn't get it as bad as my daughter did a few weeks ago!  That was so NOT fun.  On top of that my kids both finish school on Wednesday so little ol' last minute me, is busy crafting away making thank you gifts for 14 teachers!  Yes 14!  Now that they're both in middle school they have 7 each!  My goodness!

Anyway, enough rambling.  Here is a card I made using the CC Designs "Sandbucket Trevor" & "Polka Dot Emma".  Aren't they adorable?  Colored them with my Copics and the DP is from PTI.
Have a beautiful day! TFL!
