My Boys







I know I don't usually post personal pictures, but I just wanted to share some pictures of my boys with you! They are both on the west coast for Christmas this year, so I didn't get to see them, but, I did get photos! YEAH! Thank goodness for internet and digital cameras! lol Anyway, Mike is on the left, he is my oldest, and Shawn is on the right! I am just so proud of my boys! My Dad's wife is also in the pic there! My youngest is a real ham...he loves posing for pics! LOL, as you can tell! lol The oldest hates getting his picture taken....it's a rarity actually to get a picture of him without his hand in front of his face! lol

I hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday, and that you are enjoying the day today!

A few more Christmas Cards









These are the last of my Christmas cards for this year. I made alot of duplicates, so there isn't much to show! lol It seems like I have been making them forever though, plus cards for classes. I am so ready to move onto regular cards! lol...All my Christmas stamps are boxed up for the year now....kinda sad, but I am ready to move on! lol Hope you are all doing well! Sorry I haven't posted much lately! Been busy with my man home again, and getting things ready for the holiday season!!

Paper Piercing Christmas Cards




Last night I decided to do a few paper piercing cards, so I did the piercing then assembled them today. The Merry Christmas stamp is from A Stamp in the Hand, and one of my favorites! I did them in silver and white, and gold and cream. I am thinking of doing some in pink and brown, burgundy and gold as well. The papers I have used are all shimmer c/s so they are nice and shimmery!

Thanks for looking!!!

Thank you Anne!!!


I feel like the luckiest stamper right now! lol...I received this incredible stamp from Anne today, and had to use it right away! Isn't she just gorgeous? This card is a fast one and doesn't do the face justice, but I was so excited and had to make SOMETHING with it! lol....Thank you so much Anne! You made my day!! :)

Another Artful Stamper Christmas Card


I had bought this stamp last Christmas, and had never used it until now. Not really sure about the colours I used, probably because I rarely use blue or red, so it's a bit out of my comfort zone. Going to try it in a few more colours and see which I like best. Image stamped on Marl paper, and layered, painted in with watercolour brush, using ink from Tombows as paint. Lots of glitter on here, but it doesn't show well! lol Off to stamp some more!!

Have a great evening Ladies!!
Thanks for visiting!!

More Cute Cards!




OMGOSH! I have no idea what has come over me! What is it about these cute stamps that makes me want them?? LOL...I was in New Glasgow teaching a class yesterday, then of course had to go shopping afterwards, and most of the stamps I picked out were Amuse. I did get some clear stamps from Autumn Leaves (Swirls) and one Noel postage stamp. Got a ton of papers, and some of the StazOn Opaque inks, that I have yet to try. Then I bought one of the scalloped punches, that I swore I would never buy! Well, pretty much said that about cutesy stamps as well, and look at me now? I think the appeal of making some fast cards intrigued me, but honestly, I can not make a fast card for the life of me! I tried just stamping on the paper, then just one layer, but no, I have to do more layers...then I have to add background papers, and some kind of ribbon....needless to say, they are not fast cards! Why can't I be one of those people that can just slap a card together in no time?? LOL But that's ok, I know some of my friends would rather get one of these cards than one of the more artsy or vintage ones!

Anyway, excuse my blabbing tonight....think I have been alone to long! LOL...I am now having a one way conversation with my computer! LOL....Here are a couple of the cards I did today. My scanner leaves lines on white or light colours, but in person it's just white bazzill paper. One day I really will learn how to use my camera and be able to post better pics! lol

I am going to make some vintage Christmas cards tomorrow, so hope to have more to post then!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Friday

Got Mistletoe?


I just made this card for a friend and am going to give it to her tomorrow, so I think I am safe in putting it up here tonight! Stamps are from Paper Salon. I don't normally do really cutesy cards, but this I can't seem to resist! lol...There is actually some glitter in the center of the snowflakes, and glitter pen around all the edges, but you can't see that in the scan. The card has a tiara on it cause we all call my friend Princess! LOL Anyway, just wanted to share a cute card with you all!

Have a great evening everyone!!

I've Been Tagged!

I have been tagged! lol...Thanks Audrey, now I get to share all my weirdness with you all! LOL..scary!

I am supposed to tell 6 weird things about myself, and tag 6 people as well. So some of my weird things are:

1. I get lost in parking lots, and no matter how hard I try to find my car afterwards, I never actually find it right away, it's always after panicking for awhile and searching! I always try to leave in the same door I came out of, but I still can't find my car. It's a panic thing for me, my heart starts racing as soon as I know it's time to go! So if you ever see me wondering aimlessly around the parking lot, I am not casing cars....lol...just looking for my own!

2. If I am driving anywhere out of the city limits, I have to have a FULL tank of gas? Even if it's just 20 minutes away! lol I just always think, oh no, what if I break down and it's cold, I need the heat, or what if I get lost (which I do all the time), then I will need all that gas! lol

3. I snore. Nope, not just a cute little sigh in and out, full out HONKING snore! My husband tells me I belong in hunt camp with the guys, he says I would win any snoring contest with any man hands down! lol...When my first son was born, I was in a ward with 3 other ladies, and the nurses kept coming in and waking me up every 20-30 minutes, telling me I was snoring to loud and the other ladies couldn't sleep! LOL....I had my own room the next day, and when they saw me coming in with my second pregnancy, they gave me my own room right away! lol...I am laughing saying this, but it's awfully embarassing actually. I don't like sleeping anywhere but home because of this.

4. Every morning for breakfast I have to have my Bran Flakes, skim milk, and splenda. It doesn't matter what's offered to me, I just want my Bran Flakes! LOL I get downright cranky if I don't have them too! LOL Kinda like others drink coffee...and don't get their fix in the morning!

5. I can't create in a messy space. I always have to clean it up right after I am finished. It's like it clutters my creativity? Or perhaps I am just anal retentive? lol....you pick..lol (be nice Holly..lol)

6. Clowns SCARE me! People dressed as clowns, clown dolls, they all really creep me out!

Ok, there is a taste of how weird I am! lol....I am now tagging the following people so they can share their weirdness as well! lol No pressure ladies.....hmmmm....oh come on, you know you want to though! lol

Flowers, Jaqueline, Barbara, NormaB, Rein, and lastly Paula.

Thank you Audrey for instructions on how to post the clickable links! And for tagging me, this was fun!
