...PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT - BOW EASY...

Hello everyone! Happy Monday...I am so glad to announce that Stamp and Create is having another Product Spotlight of the week. This week we are to use the bow easy. If you want to purchase one of these...you can get it for 25% off right now. So have you ever seen this before? it's pretty neat and I never used it before till today. I had to use it on my card creation. So I watched a few videos just to make sure I knew exactly what I was doing. once you learn how to do it, its so easy! Our challenge this month is: Love. We could use any image the store carries, so I am using the cute CC Design called: Violet with key. I cut her out and sat her on a bench. I used my nesties called: Dahlia, added stickles, a red rose and a heart charm and I used my perfect bow to finish it off..

here's a picture of what the bow easy looks like. I also added a link {HERE} so that if you need some help on what to do with a bow easy and how to use it, you don't have to search for it.
I hope you have a wonderful week!
Keep positive in all that you do =)

Cheeky Cherry Pie...

...BIRTHDAY WISHES...
Oh my goodness...I am actually posting because I actually had time to fit in a creation! lol! My dear friend has celebrated her birthday and I am so late, but better than never right?! So I have wanted to ink up this cutie a while ago, but never got the chance till now. This week Stamp and Create is not having a Product Spotlight of the week, but she is having a drawing for a gift certificate for anyone who purchases from her store this week. So go and shop for a chance to win! I decided to use the new GF image called: Cheeky Cherry Pie. I really like her. I used my copic pens to color her. I popped up her headband and the pie to give it a 3-d effect. I also used some stickles, flowers, crocheted lace and my heart border punch.
I hope everyone is having a great start off to the new year! My family is trudging along to finish up some construction work to the leak we have in the house. I am really building up my arms as I have never done such physical work in my life! hahaha!
thanks everyone for such wonderful well wishes. I can't wait to get back into the swing of things and start creating again! I am trying to keep up and visit you as well! till next time: remember...you need to let go, of the things you just can't control =)

Blogging Break...

...ALOHA...

Hello Everyone...I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a blogging break for a while. I may post from time to time, but not on a regular basis. My house flooded over the holiday break and with that, there is lots of work to be done. Once the construction starts with redoing the bathroom and flooring, my craft supplies will be packed away safely until everything is done. I should have new counter tops and cabinets though, so maybe my craft space will be much more organized =) I want to thank everyone for their continued support...for their sweet and considerate comments and for being my blogging friend.

I will try my best to visit your blogs and comment when I can. Please bear with me and don't forget me!

till next time:

"Time isn't what makes the friendship last...

it's the love and devotion that keeps the ties between the two"

...CHRISTMAS TIME...
It's so amazing that Christmas is here...I don't know how many of you are out on blogland today. but if you are...Have a very Merry Christmas. May this season give you a chance to reflect on the year...To cherish the wonderful experiences turned into beautiful memories...To let go of the bad, so you can move on and to realize that the key to life is to not dwell on the past or try to change things out of your control...just be Happy!
okay...one to my card. This first cutie hasn't been inked up in a while. I love her and decided to make this card in my favorite color. I made special cards this year. I thought that it's a good time to tell my family how much they mean to me. I loved my snowflake punch, stickles, bling & fun flock. it really does add a special touch to each card.
this next one I sent away to a baby celebrating his first Christmas! I wanted to use this cute hanglar stanglar baby! Thank you Cami for sharing this cutie with me!!

This one I made for my oldest niece. She loves green and she's not too girly. I used darby that I got from Lacey at Stamp and Create! she's so cute and I added some fun flock, stickles, bling and snowflakes on this one as well.

I have been wanting to ink this cutie up...TGF beanie girl. I decided to use my blue copics on this one. I think she really matches my 2nd niece. I am having fun with my snowflakes...can you tell? lol!

this last one is for my brother. Since we got older & our lives changed, we never really exchange cards anymore, so this year I thought I'd make a special one for him. I used the new GF set.

Thank you for the friendship throughout the year...
I am truly blessed by your sweet comments and for sharing your ideas and inspirations with me! I hope to share more with you through the new year 2011.
Have a wonderful and special season!

Be Blessed,

Baby it's cold outside...

For my daughter's class this year...I wanted to make something different than just giving candy away. My good friend Joni gave me the idea. Thanks eh Joni...lol! I bought some caramel cocoa packets from Longs and added some chocolate candy and mints to the bag. Found a cute poem and stuck that inside the bag as well. I topped it off with my cute short moose from Stampendeous and only colored his nose.

here's what a single packet looks like and I wanted you to be able to see the cute poem I found to put inside the bag. I changed some of the words =)
Your friendship warms my heart every time you stop by and leave me such wonderful sweet comments...so thank you!

Gingerbread Houses...

Happy Hump Day everyone! it's been a while, but I have been crafting here and there. Here are some milk cartons cut with the big shot pro, that I borrowed from my dear friend Teri. I turned them into gingerbread houses. I just took one top note die, embossed it and cut it in half. I used some old SU DP for the trim, used a border punch, added my gingerbread man and finished it off with a ribbon to close off the top. I added a sentiment in the back, but I forgot to take a picture.

hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. Christmas will be here before you know it!

Be Blessed,
