Walking the Line

Hi friends! I hope you are having a lovely day! Happy St. Patrick's Day! We aren't Irish but we celebrate a little. A leprechaun left some silly things out for the kids like green milk and gold coins in the shape of a happy face. This evening, we're going to have corned beef and cabbage.

Here's a card I made when I was cropping with my friends a while ago. The stamp is from My Mind's Eye. They have REALLY inexpensive clear stamps and I'm quite impressed by the quality. The paper is Colorbok. I finished with some pink burlap string (May Arts) and a button. I'm pretty sure these punches belong to my friend Kristi who I miss a WHOLE lot!

Have a wonderful day, friends! Don't get pinched!

Key to My Heart

Hi friends! I hope you are having a great weekend! I went to the neurologist on Friday and she has given me a plan of treatment for what she thinks might be causing my migraines and other issues. The GREAT news I got is that I don't have MS! YAY! My doctor was concerned about that and it's good to know that I don't have that. Yesterday, I went to a crop with a bunch of my girlfriends to celebrate!

Today, I'm showing a card I made earlier this week. I made this for two challenges: Shop Our Stash (to use red or ribbon or roses) and Forgotten Stamp Friday 31. I shopped my stash for the stamps (obviously, I haven't used them and I've had them for probably 1.5 years) and these pearls. I decided to make a card with red, ribbon and roses. The stamps are from Practicing Creativity, the paper is Colorbok Flea Market, and the ribbon is Ivory Lace from Ribbon Carousel.

Ohhhh! Ribbon Carousel is having a sale! You have to check it out! There are all sorts of yummy trims, ribbons, etc... on sale and you can get your Ribbon Carousel 20% off! But HURRY! Sale ends tonight at 11:59pm!

Have a great day friends!

Love Hearing From You

Hi friends! I hope you are having a great week! I spent today chatting and crafting with my friend Marie Ramirez and I had a great time! It's just what the doctor ordered! Honestly, a day with a friend is just the best, isn't it?

I actually have a ton of cards to blog since I've been having so many crafty dates with my friends and I usually get a few cards/projects done at a time. Perhaps I should start blogging a couple cards a day. Wouldn't that be fancy? ;)

Here's a card I made a couple weeks ago at my friend Gina's house. I borrowed one of her Hero Arts stamp sets for this card. I do love this set, I might have to buy it! The paper is from Colorbok Flea Market.

Have a great day everyone!

Vintage Thank You

Hi friends! I hope you are well! I'm having a REALLY hard day. Today was one of the worst drop offs so far. Brady actually had to be taken into the teacher's office because of how upset he was. He was crying and yelling "I want my Mommy!" as I headed toward the door. It is BREAKING my heart. I have no idea what to do. :(

Ok, here's a card I made for a call that wasn't picked up. I LOVE this card but I'm not sure if this paper is old. It's new to me and I LOVE it! It's Flea Market from Colorbok. I am rather in love with it! I used the papers and die cuts from this line. I added some lace and the sentiment is from Flourishes.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi friends! I hope you are having a great day! I am SO tired! I've been non-stop go this week to make up for the past couple weeks and it might just be killing me. I made FIVE cards to submit to Scrapbook Trends magazine and totally forgot to submit them yesterday. GAH! Enough about me being a scatter brain!

Here's another card I made at my friend Gina's house the other day. I think she has magic mojo air over there. :) I made this with some more of that awesome Colorbok paper and elements I got. I borrowed the butterfly stamp from Gina, it's from Inkadinkadoo. I also "borrowed" and by borrowed I mean stole that trim from Gina. (Don't worry, I gave her some ribbon the next day to make up for it!) I rather love this line! It's very inspiring to me and I'm having a lot of fun making things for me and not just because it's what I feel I "should" be making.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi friends! I hope you are having a great week! We are having a busy week. Today is our only day without plans and we are laying around the house. I told the kids that pants where optional but they both opted to wear shorts. :( I was really hoping Parker would hang out in just a diaper. Oh well...

While Gina, Suzy, Marie and I were hanging out on Monday, we made a trip to Joann Fabrics and I found some super cute stuff from Colobok! The collection is called Flea Market and I LOVE it! I got a paper pad, dies and doilies from this. I made this card with it adding some twine I stole from Gina and using her Tim Holtz stamps. I kind of love this card. I might have to go back to Joann and see if they have more fun stuff from this line! Super cute!

Have a great day everyone!
