UPDATE...

...THANKS FOR THE FRIENDSHIP...

Hello my dear sweet blogging sisters & friends. I truly appreciate the support, encouraging comments and that you are loyal enough to stop by. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I will be out of contact with all of you for a little while. As of Monday...we have finally started the 2nd phase of construction...so the bathroom, cabinets and floors will be ripped out and let the rebuilding begin. So with that, I have moved everything out from downstairs... literally meaning I have no computer...no access to email or internet, unless I am at work and I have limited access to my crafts now since everything is blocking other things.

**for those of you who have joined my C.A.T.S. I am planning to hook up my computer one last time and send out the partners for August. Please don't be alarmed that I am sending it out early as this is the only way I can do it. If there are any problems, I receive email notifications to my phone & I will find a way to contact you**

Thank you so much for being a friend. I am grateful that I have friends in all of you. I will definitely try to stop by to your blogs when I have the time. Take care of each other and make sure you make every moment count...till then...BIG HUGS!

Be Blessed,

Hello Kitty...

...TAGS...
Happy Tuesday everyone! Has everyone gotten over the Women's World Cup? I can't believe what has happened, but I know that this is just a building block for the USA Women. I know that Japan needed this win...for their country...to give them some happiness filled with hope! congrats to Japan...and I am so proud of this USA Women's Soccer team!! any whoo...on to my creation. I was asked to make some hello kitty tags. I thought, why not use my cricut? it's so much easier to put together. So I did! I added a border and used my sizzix tag die.
I had to make 16 of them. Not too bad once you get a system going. It was done in no time!

Hope you enjoy your week. We have a visitor from Japan staying over and she has taken over my craft room for now. So I won't be able to create anything till after she leaves. But I hope to stop by your blogs to check out and be inspired by your creations! Have a wonderful day!!

Be Blessed,

Creepin Birthday...

...PIPER...
Hello! I am on a roll...haha! I had to make another birthday card for a "old" friend and I just got this sassy stamp in the mail and thought why not use her. She's a new creepin' called Piper. I do love this line as they are a little spunky, but cute in their own way. My friend's favorite color is purple as you can see. I colored her with my copics and I think I got carried away with the sparkle spritz...lol. I added some flowers and my own dyed ribbon. I also used my CC Designs die for the butterflies and then used my nesties for the image. I even used my ticket die as well.
Well, I hope that if you are a BIG soccer fan or are becoming one...you are enjoying the ride of the USA Women. I have been loving every moment of it. These ladies are brilliant and amazing!!! GO USA!!! (Finals: USA vs. Japan on Sunday 7-17-2011 @ 2 pm ET or 8 am Hawaii Time) BE THERE!!!

Be Blessed,

Binding Fun...

...NOTEPADS...
happy Hump Day everyone! I know...I am posting two days in a row! haha. I am going to our annual neighborhood watch dinner tomorrow and we can either buy a gift, find a white elephant gift or make something. So of course I decided to make something :) I love using my bind-it-all. I know I am a late bloomer, but now I am making so many different size note pads. Here are two that I created. I used 4 x 4 coasters for the covers. I then went ahead and decorated them. I decided to use those cute critters from cricut. I chose to use the panda and koala. They are so sweet. I used my favorite border punch and flowers to finish them off.
I hope everyone is having a good week! we are half way there. Now that furloughs are done, we are back into the swing of things. I think I am really going to miss those extra days off...lol! Well enjoy the rest of your week and keep smiling :)

Be Blessed,

Friends...

...MAKE ME HAPPY...
Hello Everyone! I am back to share with you a birthday card I made for a dear friend. I colored this image a while back and showed you on how to mask an image over another one. I then used the out of the frame techique with my nesties, used a doily, ribbon, flowers, a border punch and a happy birthday sentiment. I added a hello kitty charm to finish it off. I hope she received it already and likes what I created.
thanks for sticking around and for supporting me. I will start getting back into the swing of things are hopefully start creating on a daily basis. Thanks for stopping by today. Have a beautiful day...and remember to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT. ~hugs~

Stamp and Create Challenge-Ribbons/Bows...

...HAPPY 4TH OF JULY...
Happy 4th everyone and I hope you are enjoying this holiday! I know that I have been MIA...just came back from my trip to Vegas and am still relaxing a bit more. I wanted to share with you a new challenge at the STAMP and CREATE blog. This month it is to use ribbon/bows. So for this special occasion I used TGF-Princess #3. I decided to make her festive for the 4th of July. I used the bow easy, may arts crocheted ribbon-white, satin ribbon-blue, star punches, colored her with my copics, used stickles and used the Bo Bunny-Blast off DP for the background.

I even tried to make her look like she was carrying a wand or sparkler. lol! Well I hope you are enjoying this wonderful festive holiday! Please be safe and make every moment count! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! Till next time...Be good to each other! Hugs!

Be Blessed,
