Hello, If your still following me, I AM BACK! took a long vacation! HA HA Just been really busy with family. I am refreshing my memory on how to post and upload photos. SO more to come! Thank you for sticking around all these years and not giving up on me! 

Halloween

Hello again, I am back a bit sooner this time. I have been creating Halloween people. I just love these little frankenstein guys. So very cute. I created several of them for the school meeting we had last week, I attached them to a small box and put suckers in them. Then set one on each table as center pieces. Every one loved them. I also decorated water bottles and those were a huge hit! I'll share that picture later it is still on my camera.

Get well Kit

Hello again, once again it has been months since I blogged, but I was asked to blog and I have been createing a few things lately. Today I created a get well kit for a friend of mine that has caught a cold. I cased the idea from Split Coast Stampers. Cutest idea. I'll have to make a few more of these it is getting to be that time of season here in Nebraska.

This is the front, and then there is the inside with a small package of kleenex, a chapstick, and a cough drop. I am anxious to get this in the mail so I am keeping this quick. However I am creating Halloween cards and Birthday cards for the boys so I will be back sooner.

Candy give away

Hello readers I have some wonderful blog candy to share with you. Over at My Boat is giving away candy for the blessed readers. Go quick and check out her wonderful works and pictures of Italy.

For you to see, I have

created an ATC of a sandwich for a picnic this was made several months ago but I have just not had time to post lately. I used my paper punches from stampin up to create the sandwich.

Pink Cat Studio

I'm excited to announce that Pink Cat Studio Fairy Friends stamps will be released Thursday August 6th! This set features a bunch of super cute fairy animals.

Click on the side bar and check them out!

Here is a recipe pocket card I created for a house mouse swap! This is one of the cards that I sent in and the card never made it into the hands of the hostess. I malied 12 sets of recipe cards in the mail and the hostess received my 2 envelops and 2 extra stamps, but no cards. Not a single card made it throught the post office system. I was so bummed. Any way, this is my favorite one of the group of 6 I created. The mice are suppose to be holding candy hearts for valentines day and I cut little slices and added hamburgers from the stampin up set I found at a garage sale the weekend before.

More Blog candy

Just because she is feeling Great Mommy Scraps is giving away blog candy! She ads more candy to the give away as more people leave comments, so head on over there and check out her cute kids and wonderful work.

Great News readers! I am still alive, and kicking! I just heard Cindy is giving away wonderful blog candy again! Go on over and check Cindy out. She sells wonderful stampin up supplies at great prices.

And believe it or not I have some art work for you to see! A Little Happy Fourth of July ATC!

This first one was created using Tim Holtz destress inks, stampin up happy 4th of July set, my mom gave me the tiny little ant. I thought it sort of looked like tiny little solders walking there. But it fit the theme of this next ATC because on the 4 of July we always have a picnic in the back yard and ants are always a part of the day! So for our picnic we have a sandwich made out of stampin up paper punches.

House Mouse ATC

Been a terrible busy month yet again! I have some ladies coming over today to do some stamping so hopefully I will get something more accomplished. Here to share is a picture of a House Mouse hug ATC, I created for SCS swap round 8. I used the Stampin up pink paper, with whisper white behind. I punched out the largest stampin up oval stamp and then used the paper pierceing all around the oval to create the petals. This idea was cased from Maria. Maria has a wonderful Utube video on how she created her card, I just down sized it to fit an ATC. The petals are green cardstock punched from the smallest oval stampin up punch.

I created this little guy for a swap I am hosting on SCS. This is a 4x6 card and the penguin is created by punches. I call it punch art. I had 6 other girls swap with me and so far this has been one of the most fun swaps I have hosted, the possiblities of punch art is amazing to me. I love to take circles, scallops, ovals, and squares and create another design!

Well I am off to get my cookies made and my stamps ready to be inked for my stampin full filled day!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I have been terribley busy this last month. Which included making 35 Christmas ornaments, 25 Christmas cards, and 4- 20 page recipe scrapbooks.

I made the cookbook scrapbooks for my in-laws. They throughly loved them. Which is very exciting for me and my husband. As they are the hard to buy for group! Here is a photo of one of the Christmas cards that I created. Unfortunately I made all this stuff and gave it away before I could get pictures. I do have the ornaments that I made yet. Had to make one for myself. So when I take them off the tree I will get them posted as well.

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year. Stay safe!

WOW where has the time gone! It was Halloween and now I am posting again and it is Chritmas! So I have 1 card to share with you. My camera has decided to take pitures and then not save them so I am having a hard time not using it. I am praying santa brings me a new one!

So on to the card. This is a Retired Stampin up penguin set, not sure of the name. But it's one of my favorites. The snowflake is felt ran through my sizzix machine, attached with a silver brad.

Some more exciting news Cindy over at http://www.cindyvernon.blogspot.com/ is offering some really cool blog candy so head on over there and post her a comment for a chance to win!

Maria is celebrating 2 year Blog Anniversary so check out her blog candy as well. http://www.stampininspirations.blogspot.com/

I'll try to post agian before the year is up, I am in the process of making Christmas ornaments and more cards. Been working on some more recipe cards for gifts as well! Maybe my camera will save pictures long enough to post.

Another Creation

Finally getting around to posting some Halloween cards that I created. This top one is a fun fold, I got the idea from my Stampin Up Demonstrator back in May. She had a beautiful Flower with greens and pinks and I created a dark Haloween card with the fold and punches. Not that I am carzy for dark, but I liked using my new punches.

This is another halloween card with a fold, and look at that, using my punches again! What can I say you spend money on them, you might as well use them. I hope to get some Christmas Cards done next. But it could be awhile before I post again, It gets to be crazy around here, Denver is turning 3 next weekend so I have to have all the family over for cake and ice cream, then it will be Haloween, and hopefully then I can create! Happy Stamping all!

Gross Named Recipe Card

Hello all stampers and scrappers

I have created a Gross named recipe card for a swap on SCS. It is called Kitty Liter cake. I made this cake for my mom's 50th Birthday last year. Everyone loved it. As it sounds really gross it is really Yummy. Perfect for that gag office party. Any way for some reason the picture turned out a little on the fuzzy side. But you get the jest of it!

Break out the banjo!

I finally got some crafting done and got the camera out and working and uploaded to my computer. Can you believe it? Yeah me neither! Well what should I share first? HMMMI have been working on some fun ATC's they are penguins! Not much but there will be more coming your way soon. I have been working on recipe 6x6 cards. Have you ever made any of those? Well I am sooo hooked. They make such a neat recipe book, my family is getting them for Christmas if I can make enough! Oops I guess I blew the surprise of Christmas. Have a wonderful week!

Been MIA!

Well I have done it again, I have been missing for over a month. I have been createing and I have forgotten to take pictures of most evrything! I hate when that happens! I will try to get the camera out this weekend and snap some shots of my works lately. I have been createing recipes 6x6 cards and a year of House Mouse inchies. Lots of fun createing. I have been also trying to enjoy the outdoors a bit more now that it has finally cooled off. It is only getting into the 80 instead of the upper 90's the humidity is down as well. Thank you God!
Well sorry for the delay, But I will back sooner this time! Summer is a busy time of year.

Happy Belated Fourth of July!

This is the Independence Day card I created. Been busy with house guests and BBQ's, to post this on time. Pretty simple but cute! I hould have ran th white CS through a embossing folder or did some detresssing on the edges but it is glued down and sent allready!

Then I had to try my hand at the glass on a card and this is what I created this was alot of fun! The Pocket may have been over kill but it was still fun to create.

This here is my mistchief child, always and I mean always getting into something! I crwaled out of bed and my 2 year old had all ready gotten up and helped himself to some chocolate syrup. All over his pajamas, my kitchen floor and the inside of my refridgerator. It looks like he has a beard with all that chocolate on him. He took an early bath on Sunday!

This is my oldest son having a blast lighting up smoke balls. This is the first year we let him use the punk and light fireworks. Now he really thinks he is important even though all he got to light was smoke balls. He is starting Kindergarten on thursday! I am so sad, to see he is growing up, before I know it I will be making Graduation cards for him!

Graduation Card

Just a quick blog here before I head out to hit a garage sale before I go to work. I went to Minnesota this last weekend for my cousins graduation! She had a wonderful turn out, ove 200 people were invited and I think at least that many people showed up! Any way I created this graduation card for her as part of her gift. The inside sentiment came from MamaRocks. And I can finally post these cards because she reads my blog from time to time I didn't want to spoil the fun!
This is the front Opens to look like this with a tag that pulls out for the check or cash to sit in.



This is also what I gave her, Thank you cards to Thank a few of her guest for the gifts and for coming to the graduation open house. With coordinating envelopes!

Now I am off the garage sale. I only have an hour before I have to get to work so it will be short lived. But it is still fun to get a bargain!

Going on Vacation! Receipe Cards

I recently joined a chocolate receipe swap and this is what I came up with! Sweet and to the point. I just bought this little House Mouse baker. I think she is a lot of fun! Of course the receipe is short and sweet too, litterally sweet but so easy to make and so good. You'll have to try it! This is my first receipe card, not sure if there is suppose to be more on a receipe card or not.

I am heading to Minnesota for the weekend. My cousin is graduating from High School, and I am going up to help her celebrate, and eat the cake! HAHA! I will be staying at my grandfathers house in Richmond and the graduation is in the Twin Cities! Can't wait, I am so excited I am not a bit tired! The car is all packed except for the cooler, need drinks for the drive! I also baked a loaf of Banana Bread for my grandpa, and a batch of peanut butter Fudge... as shown here... my 2nd receipe card also for a swap! I like the looks of this one better then the first one however they are both good! My grandmother passed away 3 years ago and grandpa doesn't get a lot of homebaked goodies, so when I see him I always like to bring a little something special. My sister who is 27 is also going to stay at grandpas's house is bringing up rice krispie Bars, and stuff for smores. So we'll enjoy a cold one while the kids roast marshmallows. As little kids we always went to grandpa's house for vacations so this is going to be like old times, playing cards until the wee hours of the morning and fishing! Can't wait too excited to excited. I better go take something to help me sleep or I'll never survive the drive. Have a Wonderful Weekend!
