Mornin'

Good morning to you.  If you consider cold and snowing with a two hour school delay (after you got up already at 6 and took your shower) a good morning. It wouldn't be so bad except I had errand to run this morning after I dropped Rhalynn off so I could be back by 9:15.  But since there is a two hour delay it means the road must be bad (which terrifies me) so no driving for me this morning.

Here's one more of my Christmas cards (which I haven't even sent out yet).  I hope to be sticking them in the mail today (cross your fingers for me) 

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Halloween tags

Well Happy Wednesday!  So Gleeks how was Glee last night.  I wasn't able to watch since I had laundry to put away and bathrooms to clean.  Actually Anthony bought a new game and he was so excited about it I didn't want him to have to stop playing it so I could watch my show.  So I'll be watching it this evening

Today I have two sets of Halloween tags to show you.  I painted manilla shipping tags black, added a bit of paper to each and try to use up my stash of Halloween embellishments.

Ingridents:

Manilla Shipping tags

Craftsmart Black acrylic paint

Target $ spot - paper, chipboard, ribbon

Stamp - Studio G

Walmart 3D stickers

Scalloped Circle Nestie

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!  Thanks for stopping by!

Monogramed note cards

I hope that everyone's week has started out well.  Yesterday Anthony was off so we had a lazy day and did some laundry.  I don't think I ever actually finish doing laundry.  I've been working on several projects I just can't find the time to finish them!

However I did get this set of card complete.  They are for my cousin Miranda who just graduated from High School.  I'm so pround of her and sad that I wasn't there to see her walk across the stage.  I made two card in three different color combinations. (Did that make sense?)

The first two I did in black and yellow, her high school colors.  I used Martha Stewart monogram and frame stamps set for the M.  Of course I used my Nestibilities Small Scalloped Circles in the three smallest sizes.  The background paper I made myself using one of the images from Inkadinkaso's Circle and Dots set. 

The second set of two I did in red and black because Miranda will be attending Texas Tech nect year.  I ended up having to add the blue ribbon because I couldn't find anything else that I really liked.  Instead of stamping my background on this one I used some scraps I had of a fabulous DP by Me and My Big Ideas.

The last set of two I did in Black and PTI's Raspberry Fizz because those are the colors I used in her congratulations card which you can see in THIS post.  On this one I used two more stamps from the Inkadinkado's Circle and Dots stamp set to make the background.

I hope that she loves them.

CONGRATS MIRANDA!!!  We love you!!

Have a happy Tues everyone.  We are off to the park to play with our favorite friends!!

Thank you card.

Real quick post today because Anthony is home so I'm going to talk him into taking Clara and I shopping and maybe out to lunch.  First I want to say that while Glee was a little odd last night I LOVED the music.  Rachel's "Total Eclipse of The Heart" was fantastic.  I love that song!!!

I wanted to make something different for Rhalynn's teacher for Teacher Appriciation Week.  I wanted something elegent (or as close as I can get).  I used the same color combo I've been using all week.  I've just about used all the scraps that have been on my desk.  The DP is from Me & My Big Ideas.  The blue CS is Core'dinations, and the red and black CS is PTI.  The Thank you stamp is from Inkadinkado which I cut out using my Nestie small circle and shadowed that with my nestie small scalloped circle.  I followed this weeks Sketch Saturday Challenge.  Boy do I love sketches and Sketch Saturday has some great ones.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.  Since its beautiful and sunny here I'm going to live it up today.

Super Birthday Anya!

GLEE TONIGHT!!!!!

Sorry I just had to get that out of the way!

So I needed another birthday card for one of Rhalynn's friends.  I'd already colored up Amazing Duo Anya so I used her.  I stamped cutie Anya on PTI cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her with my Triart markers.  The blue CS came from my scrap folder.  All the other CS is PTI.  I used my Nestie Small circles and scalloped circle.  I used my Fiskers Threading Water edge punch and added a some bling.  I used Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch # 45.

So who's ready for Glee's Madonna Show tonight!  I can't wait.  I've already claimed the TV.  So that means I have to get busy in my crafty space so that I have something to post tomorrow.  Have a wonderful Tuesday.

More thank you cards.

Happy Thursday friends!! Well its snowing yet again. I'm crossing my fingers for Hawaii the next PSC. I could be perfectly happy never having to see snow again. But for at least the next two years we are here in Ohio. The girls love the snow and don't seem to be really affected by the cold (I haven't felt my toes in weeks).

Well one to what you are here for. I made a couple more Thank you cards with my little bear and strawberry from Whimsie Doodles.

The first one didn't turn out like I pictured but its okay. All the paper is from K&Company's Wild Saffron ( I {heart} this paper). I used my scalloped circle nestie and cut a hole in the card. I then pop-dotted the sentiment on the inside so that when the card is closed the sentiment sticks out the front. (Does that make sense??)

Front: (You can see my little Clara P making faces in the background)

Inside:

This card was a total accident. But it turned out to be a fairly decent mistake.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thursday! Stay warm!!
