2011-11-20T11:32:00.000-05:00

I love this little stamp from the Greeting Farm. They have a great fantastic line of stamps. Be sure to check them out.

2011-10-25T18:41:00.002-04:00

Grrrrr

2011-10-24T20:04:00.000-04:00

Having fun with some dollar stamps!

I {heart} Candy!

2011-10-23T21:31:00.000-04:00

Happy Halloween

I can hardly believe that Halloween is next week. Do you have a costume ready? Do you give out candy?

This stamp set is from recollections, colored with copic, using dcwv paper and k & co. accessories

Happy 60th Birthday UMA!

2011-10-10T19:50:00.000-04:00

My mother and father in law were here for the week, while she was here we celebrated her 60th birthday.

this is the card I made for her.

For my dear friend (fall edition)

2011-09-24T10:12:00.000-04:00

What a fun way to make a quick card. I really like the way it turned out. I need to find a solid leaf that is a little smaller so if anyone out there knows of one let me know!
Enjoy the fall,

{VCMP--OWH--9/11/11} 1+1+1 =FUN!

2011-09-11T12:41:00.002-04:00

FIRST and foremost I want to thank every single person who has or is serving our country to keep us safe from events like those that happened on 9/11.
For me that day will never be forgotten!
Now, for some 1+1+1
Your challenge if you so chose to accept, is to make a card using three elements
1 BUTTON 1 CHIPBOARD (in any shape size or whatnot) and 1 TAG
Now most of us know elements should come in 3 so this is a pretty good challenge.
Have fun with this, I chose to use my chipboard as a tag, but You do NOT have to do that. Try to use something from your bin of leftovers!
Enjoy, and thank you for joining OWH this weekend in some great card making party fun!

Link your card below, I'm looking forward to seeing what ya'll come up with!

Rock n Roll!

2011-09-10T09:14:00.000-04:00

I had fun with these colors and papers!

Thank you, Owl!

2011-09-09T07:52:00.000-04:00

I have to say sometimes when you think things are really just bad, someone does something so kind it deserves a fantastic hand made card. My son, was recently diagnosed with Asthma, we do not have health ins for him. The school nurse at his school, sent a g.c. home to get him inhalers. I find it amazing that this women who never met us, would go above and beyond to help us. I made this card for her.

Remember to thank a nurse today, I find them to be amazing (waving HI, to my favorite Nurse SUE) & a huge thank you to All the nurses everywhere. especially My sons school nurse.

Thursday Happy!

2011-09-08T06:33:00.000-04:00

Today, I took of Monday & Tuesday, so That I could get my children ready for school. So, today is my last day of work..whoop whoop, I wish I could have a two day work week every week...LOL

I love doing hot pink and black cards, I love the punk rock images, when the images are so unique and bold, I tend not to over play my embellishments (at least not always)

Hope you enjoy!

Hello Hello hello

2011-09-07T06:33:00.000-04:00

This card was so easy and fun to make. I saw on a blog the idea of using su, punch for the sails. I used some paper to make waves, and mounted it on card stock...easy peasy. I edged the paper in a white glimmer. You probably can't see it, but in real life you can ;)

Happy Thanksgiving....what?

2011-09-06T06:43:00.000-04:00

I know I know it's the first day of school, and I'm thinking of Turkey day. Back to school brings fall, so I guess I am in the mood.

I love coloring direct to stamp, for these type of cards, it's an easy way to get lots of different colors to a stamp. I am not much of a sales women, but SU! markers are perfect for this and they have the best colors. IMHO! Copics do not work for direct to rubber stamping.

This set is also from SU, and I really love it. So much fun!

Happy Back to school day!!!!!!

With Sympathy

2011-09-05T14:23:00.000-04:00

One of the hardest cards to make for me is Sympathy cards. If I know the person who is getting the car to me I can't express in "art" what my sadness is for them.

When my sister in law, was killed the cards were not as important to me as the thoughts inside of them.

I try to keep them clean and simple and only add items I think will comfort the family. For example, if there person who passed was a beach person, I tend to make something with that theme. A gardener would get a lovely flower card.

Today, I'm sad to say that one of our patients from our office passed away, a very young vibrant young man (21) lost his battle to cancer. He was one of those kids that was just always full of life. I actually think he lived more in his 21 years than some of us have in our 30+ years.

It was an honor to know him.

In Memory Of Victor K.

God speed, sore the mountain in the sky!

This blog has been ....

2011-08-29T20:51:00.000-04:00

put on hold because of Hurricane Irene.

I do have cards to upload and will have posts soon, I just returned home to my home today, My house is fine My stamps are fine...LOL

My yard is a huge mess.

I'll share pics soon.

Merry Christmas....WHAT?

2011-08-27T06:48:00.000-04:00

I feel a little sick when I think that Christmas is not that far off, less than 4 months away...Excuse me let me wipe my tears.

This card turned out really cool, it lays flat and opens to a box, great for a gift or tags.

Cas card

2011-08-26T03:46:00.001-04:00

For the owh skip, I wanted to show how you can jus use ink and paper to make a nice card. This card was one we did for our stamp camp. Not sure whos it was orginally. I did not create this card!

Hello water color

2011-08-25T03:43:00.001-04:00

If you have not played with the water color crayons from SU! I think you really should ask your demo about them, if you don't have a demo I'd be happy to hook you up.

They are a great way to color images or make pretty backgrounds. This was so simple, scribble the crayons on the water color paper (just like when you were a kid) then use an aqua painter or a paintbrush to blend. It's a super fun way to make a background.

NOTE: some say stamp first some say stamp last. if you stamp last make sure your paper is 100% dry or it will be a mess. I stamp first!

Last of the gnomes for now.

2011-08-24T03:40:00.000-04:00

I am really loving these little gnomes, I'll share something new tomorrow LOL

take a guess!

2011-08-23T03:37:00.000-04:00

Ya, another gnome card. Just have one more I think then I'll share something new. All these cards were with one sheet of DWV paper and some cardstock scraps!

Gnome love.

2011-08-22T07:00:00.000-04:00

This little guy is so funny, I had to use a mask t get him on the mushroom, I like the way he turned out. Sorry, I did not edit any of these photos, I'm running out of time LOL

Do you dig gnomes?

2011-08-21T15:32:00.000-04:00

I am just loving these gnome stamps from there she goes clear stamps. They are so fun! My mother in law is not a gnome fan, so to torture her a little (hee hee) I made a bunch to send her. This is the next in line!

Love you UMA!

C.A.S card for OWH's skip!

2011-08-20T08:06:00.001-04:00

What is a skip? A skip is a small little blog hop full of BIG inspiration.

What is a C.A.S? Clean and Simple

What is OWH?? What u are gonna ask me that? to learn more about OWH go HERE!

When I was asked by the OWH team, to add a CAS card for the skip, I knew I wanted to do a pretty background. I along with many stampers tend to add layers, and embellishments, and forget to just let it alone, to be simple and we'll to know when to stop. For this card, I used a new STAMPIN UP! set. I loved this set the minute I saw it. I really stamped in some yummy summer colors, added pearls to the centers and that was it, mounted it on a co-ordinating color and done.

Remember stampers, it's okay to have one layer, it's okay NOT to add a sentiment, sticker, flower etc..etc.. Just go back to the roots of stamping. Paper & Ink!

Thank you to Barbara at OWH for thinking of me for this skip.

Please if you have not check out OWH and there effort do so NOW you will not regret it!

(((SORRY I DID NOT KNOW I WAS TO LINK TO ANYONE, I THOUGHT FOR THE SKIP WE WERE NOT DOING THAT NEXT IS THE LOVELY http://thinkingofinking.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/)))))

be back soon!

2011-07-13T08:27:00.001-04:00

Sorry peeps, I had done so well.....and then basketball...summmer...work...life...blah blah blah!

I'm holding a HUGE stamp camp with my upline (she's holding it I'm helping) and it's taking a lot of my creative mind.

I'll be back soon with some fresh things!

Have a great day!

Cas-ual Friday!

2011-06-12T16:35:00.000-04:00

What do you mean it's Sunday. I know I know, but hey I found this great little blog called CAS-ual Fridays, and joined in on there challenge for this week. It was a tic-tac toe, shown here you chose which one u wanted to do, I took the Chipboard,Gem,Emboss row...What do you know this really was a hard one, but I personally love the way it turned out. Yaa!

I used a tag I got from a pair of jeans, The heart was chipboard, I covered it in glitter then put crystal effects over it to seal it up. I used a vintage button and some ribbon, I covered the whole thing in glimmer mist (this is a wedding card for my friend, it's not going to owh!)

Love

2011-06-10T21:14:00.000-04:00

Howdy do folks,

Just thought I'd post some thoughts and a little photo here of me and the hubs. This week i started a diet. A real change in the way I eat. I may keep up the photos on that and the struggles. So, far so good. I am a tad hungry all the time but it's all good.

I had a nice week, I did not expect it and I'm sure a crappy one will be around the corner (praying I'm wrong again) Today, I even sat on the beach with the new SU! catalog (that is fabulous) Went to the shark tournament with a few friends and my little guy.

all in all a nice day!

Smiling right back at ya!

2011-06-09T09:45:00.002-04:00

Happy Thursday. Thursday is my favorite day of the work week. Why, because it's my last day of the work week. Ahhhh Love!

I was in the mood over the weeknd to make a vintage card, this may not be real real vintage but it will do. I needed to get a little grungy I guess.

Have a great day!

You Rock

2011-06-08T08:00:00.000-04:00

I love Rock n Roll themed stamps, I like the punk edge of having pink hair, love that I can use crazy colors and that somewhere a young girl or guy will get this card the represents them. (I send them to owh an org that sends home made cards to our heroes and they can send them home)

Cupcake love!

2011-06-07T09:00:00.000-04:00

Tuesdays are better than Mondays right. So why not post a cute little cupcake card. I suppose today would be a good day for a cupcake =)

Sorry about the dark photos this weekend was overcast, and I could not get a good light in or outside.

I'm in a meeting

Have a great day!

OWH weekly sketch

2011-04-10T17:14:00.000-04:00

This weeks sketch was a bit of a challenge for me, I really had to think out of the box for this one. I could not think at first of a way to use the sketch, and then it hit me to make the lines objects instead of pp. So, I opted for one line to be the grass and the other to be the tree. I used drops of crystal effects for the bubbles. I usually matt my sentiments to make them pop but for this card that would not look right (i tried) so here ya go.

Have a great week!

A great big smile on my face!

2011-04-09T10:27:00.000-04:00

This card is perfect for today. My I stink your sweet card was chosen by the folks at unscripted sketches as one of there top 3 cards for the week. I can honestly say I was so shocked. My family and I read it and looked at it like 10 times.

Thank you unscripted sketches for making my day.

Today's cards were made with all scraps!

Mojo Monday sketch 185

2011-04-08T14:11:00.000-04:00

Hello Bloggers,

When I saw this weeks sketch over at Mojo Monday I knew I wanted to use mostly pattern paper, I was not sure If I'd like that but I'm not at all upset with the way it turned out. It's not easy sometimes to do these types of cards for me, but I likey!

I used some old pp, and things in the stash like the vintage button. I also spritzed it with wheat fields glimmer mist ( a must have product) that may be a post for later a must have post. Watch for it!

Spinner card!

2011-04-05T07:39:00.000-04:00

Today is a super simple card, this is great if you need to do thank-you cards or some other type of simple card, sympathy would also be good with this card. I think sympathy cards need to be clean and simple.

If you would like to purchase and of the supplies used in this card you may do so by visiting my Stampin' Up! store HERE!

Owh Sketch 62

2011-03-27T11:34:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone,

I don't do digi images at the moment because my printer ink does not let me color with copics, so I was unable to use an image posted but, as soon as I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to make it look like a Polaroid picture.

This snow is light and fluffy, compared to the last storm this one was much better. We did not loose power. THank you GOD! I am back to work tomorrow boo hoo!

Merry Christmas!

I have a love for books. When I was younger I never read anything at all. Thought books were for smart people. We'll a few years ago good housekeeping or one of those books had a clip of a new book in it called. "the life and death of charlie St. Cloud" I was at work at lunch and bored so I read the clip. I was so hooked on it that I was late from lunch. A few months later I saw the book bought it and read it within a few days. That was the beginning of my love of reading. Below you can see some of the books I have read.

This year I asked my husband to get me a kindle. Knowing money was tight I figured it was a long shot.

we'll Iz got me a a Kindle. Thank you husband. I love you!

Santa Claus...is coming..tonight tonight!

I really love Christmas, I don't like the stress leading up to it (who does) but, I love how people sometimes are nicer in the stores, how people have wonder in their eyes and that feel good ho ho ho kinda thing going. Is it the shopping, the upcoming gifts they know they will get or is it that Jesus, has a little bit of His spirit floating around and it grasps people and gives them that glint of what it's really all about?

I hope for the latter!

I'm dreaming of a white....

2010-12-21T03:49:00.000-05:00

Another weheartit pic. Sorry not sure of source for this one =(

I would love to come home to this place every day, that is some home.

So, we have a 50% chance of snow for Christmas. I'm praying for a white Christmas. I just love snow and think it would make the day just wonderful!

Happy shopping, I'll be heading to the mall for shopping tonight. I know way to push the shopping envelope, but things just did not fall the way I wanted this year. I've been really stressed and hope I find those special gifts on the boys list.

Hope your done and wrapping!

Cookies anyone?

We'll I must say the person who took this picture has me wanting not only to get out my camera but to so eat some cookies.

I thought I'd share a yummy little cookie makin' thing with ya'll...Eat up.

Werthers cookies!

1.5 sticks a butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup confection sugar

1 egg

1 Tsp. vanilla

2 cups flour

1/2 werthers candies smashed with a hammer (so fun)

mix the wet stuff together then add slowly the dry stuff. Once all mixed add the werthers candies.

bake at 375 for about 12-14 min, or until golden brown and melted and yummy!

(helpful hint, take the werthers hit twice with a hammer large chunks are perfect, do this while there in the wrapper so they don't fly and hit you in the face!)

The story of my sled!

We are supposed to get snow today!

I can't believe how fast Christmas is coming this year, it's rather annoying if you ask me. Not Christmas but the fact that every time I blink it's like 3 days closer.

Today I was shopping for my mother at this fantastic store in Cape May. It's vintage/homemade artsy fartsy and I just love it. The one thing I saw for about 55-75 bucks is old vintage sleds. Like the one above.

When I was 2 for Christmas I got one of these sleds minus the back seat, it was painted red and green with my name and the year on it. It's lovely, and I have fond memories of this sled. I love old vintage sleds, and can't Waite to go back after Christmas to see if they still have some (I just can't spend money on myself now)

So, enjoy sledding and snowball fights and all that stuff this Christmas, because in a blink of an eye it will be gone...poof

Christmas is coming the....

SU..color goodness!

2010-12-15T03:59:00.000-05:00

I know I'm partial now that I sell SU products, but I will say even before I started I loved that the colors and papers all matched and I love the quality to the paper, it's to me the best on the market. I've said that for years. So, here is a little card with some color!

Enjoying your Christmas?? Me, I'm so stressed I can barely see straight, hope you all are bit more ahead than I.

Merry Christmas!

Work...work...work..

2010-11-21T08:48:00.000-05:00

Work for me is changing a bit. I've been working at a desk a few hours a week. don't like it, don't hate it. It's a job right?? I wish I was this skinny and could wear heels...LOL

Ribbon flowers!

2010-11-16T21:17:00.000-05:00

I really like making ribbon flowers, this card is so simple, just two stamps the ribbon flower and some baubles and there ye' go!

Artsy Fartsy!

2010-11-10T19:49:00.000-05:00

Since this is my blog, I suppose I can say fartsy right???? I love the way this card turned out. I used some old ribbon to make this flower, so easy. Once I get a new pc I'll do a tutorial.

Happy Day!

Show me Sunday!
