Baby Boy Shower Favors

Hello Blogger friends .... so this isn't a very good picture, but this is the baby shower favor that I made, they match the invite below. I used the same little train and stamped a Thank you. I added a little bag of light blue and dark blue little chocolate ball candies on the inside. I think they came out pretty cute.

Well another short post, it's late and I'm working and have work stuffs to finish. Thanks for stopping by :)

It's a Boy

Hello there! it's been so long since I have posted to my blog! it's funny how time gets away from you, at times I feel like life is running me instead of me running my life! School has started and i'm taking three classes and it's wearing me out! I'm up all night trying to study, working full time and trying to be a good mother all at the same time, so my blogging has gotten away from me. It's hard to try and balance everything out. you'd think as old as I am, that I would have this all figured out .... but NOOOOO

Well needless to say, I was able to whip out this little beauty for a friends baby shower. I feel like something is missing, but i didn't want to over do the card. I think it came out pretty cute. I used Coco brown bazzill paper, some designer paper from Joanns, cream ribbon and some blue dots. I used my computer for the "its a boy", I couldn't find any cute stamps, so I did the next best thing and made it myself. I used my nesties die cutes and the stamp is from great impressions. I also used some glitter around the die cuts and used my copics to color the train. hope you enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by, until I post again! Have a great day!

Hello Sunflower

Hello blogger friends, I've been working on some cards for friends not to mention Thank You notes for my niece, but the good thing is that I have a few weeks to get those done. I can't remember if I posted this card or not, so if I did, I'm sorry for the repeat, if not, then i hope you enjoy!

A friend bought me this stamp, she called it a Sunflower, however it looks more like a over sized Daisy to me. I used some white puff stuff on the vase and of coursed used my copics. I also used my new sewing thingy that I bought off of HSN. Man, really love that show but it seems like they only have the scrapbooking stuffs on in the middle of the night .....

Well I'm getting ready to start school again, it seems like I have been going forever, but I have to say I do enjoy it. I'm taking three class this semester, I was going to try and go for four classes, but it wouldn't work with my overnight work schedule. Oh well, I'll be busy enough with the three classes.

Well Hope you all are having a fantastic start to the new year, I can't complain, after all were only 10 days in .... this is going to be a great year, I can feel it .... I'm sure there will be a few bumps in the road, but I'm up for the challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and until I post again! have a blessed day :)

Baby Shower Invites

Wow, looky me, two post back to back! LOL, I have been so busy working that I lost time making cards, not to mention I have been very lazy. So I made the following cards for my sister to choose from for her daughter's baby shower. I love this cute little lamb, I think it's just right, I used my nesties and my cricut Sugar and Spice to make the lamb. I think it came out pretty cute.

 This little card was the second one I made, I used my Sugar and Spice cricut again and made the little bib and added some bling, I thought this one was cute too ....

 The one below was a bit more time consuming, this is the one my sister picked, we did some mass producing ... I cut out all the pieces one day and them my sister stopped by for 7 hours and we put them all together. I used my classic circle Nesties and I think the Sugar and Spice cricut, but I can't be sure. Anywho, we made 30 of them and now I'm going to start working on the Thank You notes so my niece can send them out right away. I have some time, her shower is in a few weeks ....

Well until I post again, thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Cards

Well i'm a bit late, but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Gosh, I can't believe that it's 2012 already, can't be sure what happened to 2011, but I think it was good to me ... hehe, hoping 2012 is even better.

I'm late on posting the cards I sent out this year ... the one below is a very simple card, but cute. I used my nestis and a holly punch and some red and white twine .... I found the little red glittery things at Michales, I loved them so much, I bought all the colors they had ...

 This little card is made from a napkin, yes a napkin, I peeled off all the layers until I got to the printed picture and then sprayed some sticky stuffs on white card stock and blam, instant card ... so easy, but the fumes give me a head ache ..... LOL once the napkin dried, I used my nesties and cut out the tree and placed it on green card stock....

Well, a short post today, but thanks for stopping by! I'm working on some Baby shower cards for my niece, she's due next month, i'm so very excited, i'm going to be her Nina ... finally I get to be a Nina (godmother) ....I hope they decide on a name soon, it changes every day but I'm going to call her Emmy :)

Until my next post, thanks again for stopping by :)

Hello blogger friends and happy Saturday, man. I can't believe how time flies and how busy life gets. I haven't posted to my blog for a while ... I'm so embarrassed. well the little card below I made for my little cousin, she turned 2, and is so cute. I used my fav Anya stamp and it was fitting for her as she is a little princess.

I used a white doylie and use my copic sprayer and sprayed it purple. i love that copic sprayer, I think its called an air sprayer or something like that, but I love it ... it's comes in handy. I used it on an embossing template and it worked pretty good, the only thing is that i can't get the color off the template ... hehehe I'm still a work in progress .... SO aside from school, not much is going on. just working a lot of hours and still going to school. My little one, well she's 25, but always my baby, twisted her ankle and now has a stress fracture on her left foot. The kid is a trooper, she went to school and did PE for 3 days before she told me it was bothering her. She has a high pain tolerance ... she once cheered in a national cheer competition on a fractured foot! she is awesome! well it's time to go and get some house work done .... thanks for stopping by! 

Princess Anya

Morning and Happy Monday! I got up early this morning and started cleaning the house and homework, thank goodness i'm good at multi tasking... hehehe So it was so nice yesterday it was about 78 degrees and we walked around Old Sacramento, this morning I wake up and it's all coudy outside and looks like it's going to rain! I love Anya stamps, they have to be one of my favorite companies aside from Whippersnapper stamps. I love whimsical looking stamps ...

I found this little stamp at one of my favorite stamp stores ... I made this card for a friends daughter, she wasn't feeling well so I stopped by Micky D's and put a gift certificate inside to help her get better. Well short post today, have to finish homework, laundry and have to head to school for a extra credit assignement.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time, happy stamping!

Thank you ~ Bouquets

I've been doing it for years! they have come to expect it now, but are always excited to see what's in the package.

Dog Day Afternoon

Hello - long time no blogging .... ive been so busy and haven't really had much time for anything. My craft room is a huge mess, I keep buying things but haven't got the time to use them. I'm still going to school and working part time. I love my job, but I'm tired .... So i love the card below, I used my cricut, a cuttlebug die cut and i had the little fence. I stamped the little dog and cut him out ...

I added the little bees and i think the card came out pretty good. Now i'm not one for HSN or QVC, but the other night I couldn't sleep and was watching HSN, they had this Easy Sew on special and I have to say that I was suckered in and bought it. I made a card using my new toy and will post it tomorrow ... well it's Sunday and I got called into work, so i'll catch ya later, thanks for stopping by!

I'm back

Yikes, I can't believe that I have been gone for over a month, I have been busy and trying to get my life back in order since my car accident. Did well in summer school, got A's in all my classes, now starts the Fall classes.

Thanks to those who wished me well and a speedy recovery from my car accident. Well my car got totaled out and that really made me sad. I loved my Fusion! The good news is that GOD is good and my bills are going to be taken care of! I was so worried about that. Man, when Mayhem hits, it's like a big ole bowl of distruction and can turn your life up side down. I'm feeling better, back still hurts now and then, but I guess it will for a while. But the good news is that i'm on the right road, and recovering .... I was blessed to be able to get a car, it's not a Fusion, but a 2007 dodge charger. It's not new, but i like it, it's big and roomy and makes me feel safe. well, i have some creations that I will be posting tomorrow .... thanks for stopping by ... i'm going to try and be a better blogger :)
