TGIF!!!...

Good Morning!!! Thank goodness it's friday!! Though I do have to work tomorrow :-) It will be a very short weekend for me. Oh well, next weekend will be a nice long weekend!! Yeah!!

I actually did these cards Wednesday evening, however I didn't get a chance to post them until today! I had so much fun with this sketch challenge!! My card base is 4.5 x 4.5. I don't normally make odd size cards however this really is a fun size! I used two new sets Eastern Blooms and Pocket Silhouttes and two new designer papers Garden Tea and Sweet Always.

It looks like it is time for blog candy!!! I will try and post my candy Sunday!! Thank you all so much for your kind comments and emails!! You gals are the best :-)

Blessings

Busy as a bee....and it's only going to get worse :-)

Good Morning!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday! Mine was okay for a Monday, just busy, busy, busy!! The Fall Semester starts next week, so our office has been hopping, with the worse starting next week. They started construction around our building this week as well, which has made parking a pain! LOL I am all about routine and just a tad OCD....so I have been a bit out of sorts! LOL Oh well, I will live :-)

I actually have been working with all my new stuff...I have been working on a Great Girls Swaps! I am happy to say the worse is over! LOL I need to order some more ribbon and put them together and I am done! Yeah!!! Of course I went and signed up for another one for the new upcoming holiday mini... LOL!! Swaps can be sooo addicting!! I LOVE them, and I just LOVE swapping with the Great Swap Girls! They are the best!!

Okay, for todays card....I actually did this one a couple of weeks ago. It was for one of the sketch challenges over on splitcoast! I always hestitate when triangles, diamonds, etc are involved. I am not sure why....but it was actually a fun easy card to put together!! TFL!!!

Good Evening everyone! Sorry again for such a late post. Work has been crazy! It seems like it always is coming back after vacation :-) I have been working on cards and such but just haven't had time to upload the pictures and post on my blog. So I thought I would share with you this evening the project and card I received from my wonderful downline Tessie! She had a class this past weekend and we made this darling note pad!! She did such a wonderful job!! We all had a blast! If you haven't checked her blog out...make sure you do...she is one of the sweetest gals you could ever meet!! I look forward to taking another class from her!

Well I hope everyone had a great day! I just finished uploading several pictures, so I will have a couple more to share in the morning with you all! I am so looking forward to tomorrow evening!! My first order from the new catalog will be delivered!! Yeah! I am looking forward to playing with all the new stuff tomorrow evening!!!

Don't you just LOVE this gingham paper???

Good Evening everyone! Sorry I wasn't able to post until now. My day has not went anything like I hoped, but that is okay :-) It always helps when you have the new cattie to look at! I just love all the new checked, striped designer paper!! Don't you just love this gingham paper?? I am also in LOVE with Riding Hood Red! I still can't decide on Kiwi Kiss :-) I haven't even touched Tangerine Tango....I may try this one this evening, maybe with the Autumn Harvest set! I can't believe this set made it into the new cattie!!! This is one of my all time favorite sets :-)

Anyway, I made this card for the Great Swaps Girls challenge GSGC11. All you needed to do was use three embellishments. I used brads, ribbon and buttons! I just LOVE how this card turned out....I really love that gingham paper!!! I also love this color combo!! If you get a chance, stop by and play the challenge!! Also don't forget to post your picture!! Thanks for stopping by!!!

As you may or may not know....

Hey Everyone :-) As some of you may or may not know....I am on vacation! I haven't spent much time on the computer. What little time I was on it was spent over at splitcoast stampers! I am so thrilled to finally have the new cattie!! My first is almost fine tuned as I eagerly await for Monday to order!! Yeah!! I am excited to start really making Fall and Christmas cards!!!

Anyway, I wanted to post my card for Kristina's Color Inspiration challege! I really LOVE how my card turned out....though I am not sure how I feel about the green galore. It is definitely not my color :-) However, I am really hooked on her challenges!! I am getting alot more comfortable with color challenges!!

Well, I am off to bed in a few. I do have another card and small project I will be posting in the morning!! Thanks for stopping by!!!
