Trick or Treat

Here is a card I made for a dry embossing swap. I love the way it turned out. I would have to say that of all the halloween sets in the new SU catty, this is my Fav.

Christmas Swap

here are 2 Christmas tags and a card that I made for a Christmas card / tag swap that I'm hosting on www.splitcoaststampers.com I really enjoy hosting swaps.

hosting swaps

This is my first buckle card that I made for a Split Coast Stamper card swap that I am hosting. I didn't think it was to bad for my first time.

3-D project

I was just playing around with my scrapbooking card stock, when I came up with the idea to make my own note pad. This is what I came up with.

SCS swaps

I got hooked swapping 3-D gift projects and cards on www.splitcoadtstampers.com and I have even started hosting some swaps. You can find me there under " bish " I was in 2 swaps for cards useing stamps with cats. So I thought that I would use the stamp set " cats meow " I'm not one for useing bright colors, but I sure like the way the cards turned out.

Christmas in July

Ashley and I went to card making class over at Angela's house. This week's theme was Christmas in July. Looked like all the girls there had a good time. There was sweats, candy, apple cider and a table top tree. We made 2 cards and a bagalope. Thank you Angela once again for a fun filled night.

Oh, Baby!

Here is a card that I had a fun putting together. I have been trying different styles of baby cards to do up as a thank you gift pack for my sister
in-law. Our new family member will be here in Sept. and I have a lot of work ahead of me. I used regal rose, barely banana, sage shadow and whisper white card stock. I sponged regal rose onto the the card stock,and black ink on the wash day wheel, The bunny from a new little someone stamp set and the the words from small sayings. I used SU chalks and my blender pen for all the coloring. A dry baby wipe works well for a baby blanket, just make a little slit on the inside on the bunny's arm. The bunny is matted on a piece of sage shadow and pop dotted to give a 3D look. I'll post another baby card latter on.

Here some birthday cards that Hayden and Allya made for their Uncle Aaron. I thought they did a very good job. Happy Brithday little Bro.

Grade 8 formal

Our first family photo. This was taken on Ashley's grade 8 formal in June. She will now be off to high school and Allya will be entering kindergarten. Hayden will start pre-school in Feb. After his 3rd. B'Day.Notice where Hayden's hand is. Ha ha ha, I'm not sure if he is just a boob man or if he's trying to push me out of the picture. I love you Ashley, my little Boo Bear. You look so beautiful.

Cheek it out

A few weeks ago when Randy and Hayden went for a walk; they were stopped and asked if they could take some photos of Hayden for a Frederiton web site. www.justfred.ca I was just goofing around while waiting for Randy to came home so we can go on our camping trip to jellystone for Jogi's Birthday weekend when I came across these photos. Please cheek out their web site. You might find some one you know. Have a nice long weekend. HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!

Cuttlebug

On May 25th. was my Wedding Anniversary. Randy got me a cuttlebug and 2 embossing folders. Since then I have got buggy with it. I love using it more then my cricket. I'll have to post some of the cards that I have made with.

Inspired by Smallpigpig

I saw a card on Smallpigpig's blog and loved the design of it. That's when I got the big idea to see how mine would look like. Please be kind and let me what you think. I used the new pallet of prints, white, apricot appeal, and certainly celery card stock. black and apricot appeal inks. water color crayons, crystal effects (on the little round stamped area) and a paper clip.

Father's Day Card

I love the way this turned out. I used the noble deer and carte postal stamp sets, water color crayons, black grossgrain ribbon, black phot corners and for card stock I used craft, old olive and Very vinilla.

Get Well Soon

I made this card for my 4 year old when she came down with a mild case of the croup. I used my cuttlebug for the background and used water color crayons in some of the flowers and it was used in the summer by the sea stamp. The glitter really sets off the card just right for a litter girl.

Teacher's gift

Here is a cute little teacher's gift that Allya will give to her Male pre-school teacher. The portfolio is made with a (8.5 X 11) card stock score the longer side at 2" to create the pocket and then score width side at 5.5" to create the portfolio. Adhered with sticky strip to the outer sides of the pockets. Cut a triangle out of the center of the pocket so that it will fold flatter. I will cut computter paper to fit inside of the portfolio and stamp a truck on each paperI also plan to make a pen to match the cover.

Today's News

Here I wanted to brag about making curtains for my living room and just how much card making I got done this weekend; But today, 6 of our military solders have passed away. To the families of the solders.. I am sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you..

I WON, I WON!!!!

I won't say just how much coffee I had to drink in order to win... Yes I WON!!! I finally won a coffee. So, has anyone won out there won more than a coffee? Karen, I like the cards we made in class tonight. It was also nice to see every one again. By the way, did your punch make it home with ya tonight??? Ha ha ha ha... The CD book that you made.. how did you attach the card stock to the CD? Tina I hope you have a relaxing trip. See you when you get back, and make use of that stamp set, ok.

scrappers block

Ok, heres the problem.. I have the scrappers block. I know there are lots of ideas for cards and other gift ideas on SCS, but I have lost that creative touch. HELP ME PLEASE!!! I know I have to get back to Karen's Thrusday night classes, and maybe do some stamp camps. If I don't start very soon, what will I do at Nicole's getaway?? Should I host another swap or two on the "Queen B" blog site???

On The Raod

This is a card I made for Randy. He went out of town on the weekend for a spring zone convention in Saint John. (Beer party with meetings) A big THANK YOU goes out to Angie for letting me use her Clasic Cars stamp set. I love this card.

Eating Healthy

Back in Nov. I made a personal commitment to set a small goal and eat healthy. Because it is the right thing for me, to do at this time in my life. My goal is to shed off at least 50 lbs. before Nov. 2007. Once I reach that goal, I'll set another one. I have lost 30 lbs. already. A lot of water does work. I have also cut down on the amount of pop I drink. I am enjoying veggies a lot more. Now I can go up and down the stairs several times without puffing like I use to in the past. My some of my clothing are getting big for me. I'll buy some new clothing after I reach my 50 lb. goal. I'm doing this with nothing but hard work. No help from any programs or gym memberships, I just don't have that kind of money. Why am I getting this out in the open.... Maybe because this is a way to keep me true to myself and the goal ahead. This a life change I must do for me..

Mother's Day card

I made this for a swap on SCS. I am now thinking the colors are to dark. I do like the way the ribbon and charm worked out. Never done it that way before.

Home again

To make a long story short, I have been sick with the cold all week long. Fri. afternoon after seeing the family Doc. I was sent to the hospital. Not remembering to much of the past 3 days, getting up to do things that have already been done, not ansering questions very well, not eating well at all and my face feeling droopy on one side. I thought ok it's viral and send me home, like I had just before the Christmas holidays. The doc. ordered all kinds of tests, even a cat scan. One of many Doc's came in and said they didn't see any thing wrong but the cat scan is being done in the A.M. and they will have a room ready for me soon. I had to stay over night. As it turns out that I just had a asmea/cold that went viral, and with not sleeping and eating much in the week made things worse. They uped my puffers and came home on Sat. I still need to rest a lot and see the family Doc. in about 2 weeks time.

Coffee News

Well once again, Tim Hortons has there RRROLL UP THE RIM TO WIN. How much coffee does one have to drink to win?? I have had my share of free coffee and donuts. Now will I be one of the lucky ones to say that I won some thing BIG!!! Maybe not, but are you? Tell one, tell all right here. Happy drinking.

I sat down and updated my blog just for you Angela. What do you think of it.
