LONG LONG TIME!

They don't call it March Madness for nothing!! And I am NOT referring to College Basketball... Life around here has been super busy... with March Break, Birthdays (mine) and Work it is amazing that I find time for sleep! ha ha ha... not really, but it feels like it sometimes...
Anyway - just wanted to let all followers to know that I am still alive and creating... once the camera is charged, I will take pictures of some recent creations and post them!
Must get back to writing my April to June 2009 newsletter for my Stampin' Up customers!
Take care and happy surfing...

Creative Explosion

So today one of the orders from an SU! workshop arrived. No big deal really - although I got this sudden urge to create... so create I did!

Not more than one card mind you... but I created, and I made this really cute little card! I would love to know what you think!!

Made from SU! cardstock (whisper white, basic black and pixie pink), ink (basic black & pixie pink), Silver brads and Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

So simple, but I am in love.

Sale-A-Bration Reminder

Today's entry is just a short note that Stampin' Up's yearly Sale-A-Bration event is nearly over for 2009. There are quite a few cute stamp sets as well as ribbon and designer patterend paper this year!
My mother hosted a workshop today and she is getting almost each of the available items in the sale-a-bration flyer! Way to go mom. Great workshop today.
Must go start the daily bedtime round up now!

Lovely Little Layout

With another workshop fast approaching (comprised of quite a few beginner scrappers) I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the 12x12 cardstock papers that SU! carries. And of course, one of my most adorable little photo subjects!

The paper used was from the Soft Subtles colour family (Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst & Barely Banana). I also used Whisper White to mat the photos on and use for journalling.

Inks were Closa to Cocoa and Versa Mark. Ribbon is 1/4 inch Whisper White grosgrain.

The letting is Schoolbook Serif and the decorative set of choice was Baroque Motifs! "Quel-Suprise" it is my set of choice on almost a regular basis!

I am pretty sure that this layout will get the oohs and ahhs that I LOVE! :)
Happy creating and until next time!

Long Time

HUGE apologies to anyone following my blog! I have not posted in two weeks to the day! Things have been busy! The youngest (5 months) is now in daycare and I am now back at work full time.


The last couple of weeks have not been wasted though!

Last week sometime I made this cute little card with an acetate window in it. Needless to say I am quite pleased with myself! Using a two step stamp, I stamped the first image on the inside of the card, assembles the whole thing then stamped the second image on the acetate window!

Very pleased I am with myself indeed!

This adorable little card was made with all SU! products. CS - Whisper White, Basic Black and Orchid Opulance. White Grosgrain ribbon. Orchid Opulance ink and StazON jet black ink. Also the 1 3/8: punch and 1 1/4 punch.

I am having another workshop this weekend and cooking up some pretty cool stuff for April/May/June!

Stay tuned for more stampin' and scrappin' stuff!

Thank for reading!!
