Quick Hello!

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a few days since my last post! The last few days have been b-u-s-y. My Mom's birthday was last week and we got together with my Mom and Dad on Sunday to celebrate Mom's Bday, and then this past week I have been working on some orders that I have, making gifts for Evan's preschool teachers, working on a project to present to the youth group leaders of our church for a fund raiser, working on getting packets together for this weeks stamping class and also working on projects that I am going to be teaching at an upcoming class at the LSS
(The Stamp Studio). Oh yeah and planting some flowers in between all of that. *whew* I'm ready for a nap! LOL! One more thing before I forget--I'VE BEEN TAGGED! My great friend Dana tagged me. You have to check out her blog!! Just click on her name and *crosses fingers* it should take you to her blog. She does AWESOME design work and she is the one who designed my blog banner!! We met a couple of years ago on a message board that we both belonged to. Since I've been tagged I've been instructed to list 7 weird things or facts about myself. Hmmmm....
what to say? Well here goes----

1. Fact: I love trees, even the old dead ones that don't have leaves anymore. I love to look at all the twists and turns in the branches. My Grandpa tells me that I get that from my Grandma, Joann, he said she loved trees and loved to look at them and would always comment on the trees whenever they would be driving somewhere. The trees kind of remind me of people, they are all unique in their own way.

2. Weird: When I was little I secretly wanted to be a mermaid! I love the movie Peter Pan and I had the Gigantic Golden Book of Peter Pan and I always loved the Mermaids of Mermaid Laguna.

3. Weird: Whenever I eat a candy bar with chocolate I almost always eat all of the chocolate off of the candy bar and then eat the rest. Except for if I'm around someone who doesn't really know me, they might think it's just a little strange--ya know--lol!

4. Fact: By Best Friend's Name is Virginia and we have been friends since we were five years old. That is 30+ years!! We are more like sisters than friends. Love ya sweetie! *wink*

5. Weird: I hoard my embellishments. I'm always saving them for just the right project and love to sit and look at them and dream up different designs that I will "someday" do--LOL!! then I think to myself--how Crazy is that-use them already!! I am getting better, but still have a few I just can't part with!

6. Fact: I have a son and a stepson that both have the same 1st name, Dustin. They also have the same initials all the way through their names, DCB. It can get a little confusing-lol! So when they are together one goes by his first name and the other one goes by his middle name.

7. Weird: When I was younger I was so obsessed with having my penmanship perfect that if I was writing a paper or note or anything for that matter and I messed something up I would crumple it all up and start over. Now that's crazy!!

Ok, that's my seven things. Now who do I tag?? I don't really know that many people with blogs so I guess I will just wait to tag someone and in the meantime maybe some of you that read my blog want to leave me a comment and tell a fact about yourself or something weird. How does that sound? Come on and play along! :)

A card for Mom

Just wanted to make a quick post (but with lots of pictures! *wink*) of the Mother's Day card that I made for my wonderful Mom and also to show you all of the great flowers that I got from Eric and the boys for Mother's Day.

Here is Mom's card~
I didn't actually do any stamping on the outside of the card, this is all just paper piecing but I love how it turned out. Love the color combo and the gems! The flowers were cut from a piece of PP (printed paper) and then used pop dots to layer and add dimension.
Supplies-
SU-Cardstock, Light Green PP,Floral PP and Gold Brads.
Provo-Dark Green Cardstock
Ranger-Stickles (diamond)
Other-Gems

Here are the pictures of all of the beautiful flowers that I got for Mother's Day from Eric and the Boys. I have about half of them planted and will post more pictures when I have all the planting done.

Stamping Class

As promised here are the cards for this months stamping class. For those of you who don't know I teach stamping classes here in my home twice a month. The classes are all about learning new techniques. We have a really great group of ladies and just recently we have had some newcomers, so that is really exciting!

This 1st card was done using AI's (alcohol inks). I love to use AI's, they just have so many possibilities and I love all of the different techniques that can be done. Stamp-Hampton Art Stamps
The 2nd card is trying out a new product. The new product is called Rub-On Magic and it is wonderful!! It is made by Kurio and you get a kit that contains Adhesive Rub-On's for Glitter, four little containers of glitter and a craft stick. The kits that I bought are floral and have four different sizes and design styles of flowers. They are so easy to use!! They are very fun and add texture, depth and sparkles to you projects. Stamps-CTMH (pocket), Autumn Leaves (flowers), SU (words).
The 3rd card is done using oil pastels. The pastels are very easy to work with and blend very nicely. I love the color combo on this card!! Stamps-All SU stamps.

Busy Busy Week!

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days! This past week was a busy one! Eric was on vacation this past week and last Sunday I got sick and didn't feel good for about three days. Great start to a vacation, huh? Well at least we didn't have any big plans, just hanging out around here and doing some stuff. I was glad I started to feel better on Wednesday because I had a stamping class on Thursday. Yikes! I was scrambling trying to get it all done in time!! Luckily I was able to get everything done in time and the class turned out great! The classes can be a lot of work but I do enjoy doing them so much. I have such a great group of ladies and they always make it so much fun!! I will have to get the cards from class posted soon.
Friday was the big day!! Eric GRADUATED!!!! I am so, so, so very proud of him!!! He graduated with honors!! He now has degree in Network Security (computers). He has talked about taking a year off and then going back to finish out a four year degree. So we will see what the future brings!! Poor guy I felt so bad he ended up with my nasty cold!! Hope he is feeling better soon!! XOXO Sorry the family picture is a bit blurry. :( There was a really nice lady that offered to take a family picture of us but it turned out kind of blurry.
I hope all of the Mother's out there in blog-land had a very Happy Mother's Day!! I hope that you were all able to spend time with your family and have a nice and relaxing day and maybe take a little time just for you. I had a wonderful Mother's Day!! We went to church and Eric was sitting with the choir, Dusty and my Dad were ushering and Evan was in the toy room so my Mom and I got to sit by each other. After church we went to a Mother's Day brunch and the food was wonderful!! Then after that we went over to my parents house and spent most of the day over there. It was a very nice and relaxing day. Oh yeah we had root beer floats too! They were sooooo yummy!! I hadn't had one of those in a long time. I will have to take some pictures of my Mother's Day present from Eric and the boys. I got a bunch of different kind of flowers to plant and the best part is Eric already went through the garden and pulled all of the weeds!! So it is all ready for planting!! The flowers are all so pretty, so many different kinds and different colors. I have already started planting some. I'm gonna head out and go take some pictures of my flowers and will post them soon. Once again I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!!

Sorry for my absence!

I know it been a few days since I have posted anything, well actually I guess it's been about a week. Earlier this past week the weather was really nice and we enjoyed some time outside and even got a little bit of yard work done. I am so happy this year I actually have tulips!! The past few years the bunnies have gotten to them before they even get a chance to bloom but for some reason this year they left them alone. I still can't believe it!! So I just had to take a couple of pictures to share.
The end of the week and the weekend was mostly cloudy and a little bit of rain so I was glad to get a couple pictures of the tulips before the weather got all icky.

On Saturday it was my Birthday and I had a wonderful day! It started out with getting up a little early to have a little me time and enjoy a yummy cup of coffee. I found a new creamer and it is soooo yummy!! Chocolate Raspberry by Coffee-mate. If you love chocolate and raspberries this is the creamer for you!! After enjoying the peace and quiet of the early morning it was then time to start waking up the guys. After breakfast Dusty was happy the ground wasn't too damp and headed outside to get in some SK8 boarding time. He is getting so good with all of the jumps and tricks that he can do! Eric and Evan headed out to Home Depot, they had a kids workshop going on out there. He made a little herb garden. It is so cute, it's a wooden holder for little mini pots and then they also gave them the soil pellets and seeds. I will have to keep you updated on his little garden. In the afternoon we went to the LSS and I got some goodies for my BDay! Woo-hoo!! Gotta love that! I got a stamp, some CS, PP, a bunch of bottles of stickles, an ink pad and some embellishments. Then while I was there the owner (Karen) of The Stamp Studio asked me if I would be willing to do a stamping class! So I will be teaching a class at The Stamp Studio!! It will be sometime in June, we haven't set an exact date yet but as soon as we do I will let you know. Any of you local ladies that would be interested I would love to see you there. If so give me a call or drop me an email and I will be glad to give you all the info.
Later that night we met up with my parents and went to the play. My Mom and Dad bought ticket for all of us to go and see the play. We went to The Sound of Music!! It was awesome!! They put on such a wonderful show and the music and the singing it was all so great!! I really enjoyed it and the boys seemed to really like it too.
I have been doing a little stamping, but most of the cards are still in bits and pieces and waiting to be put together. But here is one that I just recently did. The PP is from one of the quads from the Take Ten magazine. I can't remember the name of the company, but it was made for Stampington. The PP already had the very light colored small script and the butterfly. I added the flourish stamps, over stamping in blue and white, the rhinestones, rose, sentiment, stickles, ribbon and hardware.
Supplies:
Stamps: Making Memories-Floral Dingbats, Outlines Rubber Stamps-Sentiment
Paper: Stampington-PP, SU-Almost Amethyst
Ink: SU-Whisper White, Brilliant Blue

Embellishments: SU-Hardware, Jo-Ann's-Rhinestones, Ranger-Diamond Stickles, WM-Rose and Ribbon.

My Dad's Birthday Card

My Dad's birthday was last Monday but because of everyone's schedules we weren't able to get together until this Sunday. We went over to my parents in the afternoon to celebrate. We brought over and angel food cake with strawberries and cool-whip. It was really yummy and hit the spot on a hot day. My Dad loves to be in the garden, working up the dirt and planting a wide variety of plants. My Dad and Mom both really enjoy gardening and they have a large veggie garden and then two large flower gardens and a few smaller ones in between. It is so beautiful in the summer and I know they put a lot into it!! So for my Dad's BDay we got him a GC for one of the garden centers here in town. I know it will be put to good use!

I had a lot of fun making Dad's BDay card! I got to play around with my AI's and make a really neat background. I love using AI's there is just so much you can do with them! I found a really nice poem and wanted to work it into the card. In one of the first few sentences it talks about the quiet of the sea, so I thought I would go with a underwater/ocean theme. I used transparencies and a bottle stamp, a ship wreck stamp and tiny glass beadz to make the bottle. Then I mounted it to a piece of white CS with the bottle raised in the center to give it some dimension. I was really happy with how it turned out and I think he liked it too! Happy Birthday Dad!!
Here is a close up of the bottle

Supplies:
Paper:SU-Whisper White, White Glossy, Basic Black, Ballet Blue, Cool Caribbean
Inks:Stazon-Black, Ranger AI's-Stream, Lettuce & Eggplant
Markers:Sharpie
Embellishments:From my Stash-Transparencies, Wonder Tape Sheets, Clear Beadz, Silver Cord, Colored Beads

Here is the poem

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea…

The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad

Fishing

Look what I caught! My 1st fish for the year!
This past weekend the weather here has been just beautiful! It is so nice to see the sunshine and the green grass. We went on a little fishing outing on Saturday. Our oldest wasn't feeling the best so he didn't come with. But our youngest was so excited, he has been practicing casting with his Spider Man fishing poll! He has gotten really good at casting and can get it out there! Also this year he's not afraid of the worms and even helped to get the worm on the hook.
We only caught a couple of little pan fish and they were tiny-lol-as you can see in the picture! But Evan was so excited, he almost forgot what to do!!

We went to a spot where I used to go with my Grandma and Grandpa when I was little. I was such a tom boy when I was little, didn't mind dirt a bit! I have many fond memories with my Grandma and Grandpa that I will always cherish.
The sky was so picture perfect, with all the different shades of blue and the fluffy white clouds. I took a picture with my new camera and it turned out so beautiful I just had to share it! I hope you take a little time everyday to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Little Fairy Girl

This card is for a Blue/Brown swap that I am in. I know maybe I should wait to post it and I hope it doesn't spoil it too much for the other participants but I just had to share it! lol As many of you know I love fairies and collect fairies. Last Year for my birthday I got a great surprise package in the mail from my friend Dana and it was filled with all kinds of goodies for stamping!! The fairy stamp that I used on this card was part of the package. I Love this little fairy girl!! It is one of my favorite stamps! I also used one of my favorite toys (tool) for this card, my Wizard die cutting machine. I love all of the detail in their dies. With the Wizard you can do the die cut and you can also do dry embossing which adds to the detail and gives it dimension and of coarse I had to add a few gems in there. A girls gotta love gems! *wink*

Supplies:
Stamps-Lost Coast-Fairy Girl, Swirls, SU-Swirls, For You, A Stamp in Hand-Script, Anna Griffin-Filigree
Paper-SU-Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Provo-PP
Ink-SU-Chocolate Chip, Ballet Blue, Versamark
Other/Embellishments-SU-Silver Cord, Pearl-ex (true blue), Wizard-frame die cut, My Stash-gems

Baby Oh Baby

I seem to be making a lot of baby cards lately and I thought I would share three of my newest and favorite ones. I think baby cards are so fun to make and it is especially fun when you can personalize them.

The 1st card was for little Elijah. I have made a few of these cards with the buggy for girls and boys. I wanted something that was three dimensional so I came up with the idea to design a little buggy. Sorry about the picture quality, this was taken with my older camera. Almost everything used to design this card was SU products. The lace, ribbon and wire were from my stash. Also the stamps for his name are from CTMH.


This 2nd card was for sweet little Keely. Elijah and Keely are cousins and there Grandam has shown me some of the cutest pictures of the two of them! For this one I embellished a little onesie that I made and used SU Designer Series Double Sided PP.

The 3rd one is my most recent one and it's for my newest little baby cousin, Gage. He is soooo cute!! Mommy and Daddy are so proud! They had a baby shower and it was so nice that all of our family
was able to be there. They also took 4 generation picture which will be a very nice keepsake. I found the idea for this card on SCS. It's a trifold card that is so easy and fun to make. The tutorial can be found here, it's called Cami's Trifold Card
I used the Wild About You stamp set from SU. I love that set! I also used a stamp set from Autumn Leaves, called Swirls. The 1st picture is the view of the front of the card.
The 2nd picture is the inside and I put a really neat poem there. I had found this poem a while back and I have been saving it for just the right card. Almost everyone who reads it says they get all teary eyed.
The 3rd picture is when the card is opened all the way. This card is bigger than the one that was done in the tutorial but I think this card design could be made to fit any size card you would like. I embellished the card with a piece of chipboard, fibers and some clear dome sticker. To match the chipboard I mixed white acrylic paint with reinker.
Here's the poem that was inside the card.

My Baby Boy and Me
Its 3 am they're all asleep
And no one's here to see
As we rock slowly back and forth
My Baby Boy and Me.
His little head is feather light
tucked up against my chin
I hold his tiny hand in mine
and stroke his baby skin.
The house about us creaks and groans
the clock hands creep around
He snuggles closer to me still
and makes his baby sounds.
I love these quiet hours so much
and cherish every one
store memories up inside my heart
for lonely nights to come.
All too soon he'll be grown up
his need for Mama gone
but until then I still have time
for kisses and for song.
Time for quiet hours like this
with him cuddled in my arms
where I wish he'd always stay
protected safe and warm.
And yet I know the day will come
when this tiny little hand
will be much bigger than my own
he'll grow to be a man.
But until then he's mine to love
with no one here to see
as we rock slowly back and forth
my baby boy and me.

A little me time

Do you ever wish you could just have a little me time to do the fun things in life, the things you love? I know I sure do! It seems like there are never enough hours in the day. Most of my time gets devoted to family, which I don't mind at all. But when it comes to stamping so many times it seems like I am working on SU stuff or prepping for a class or doing orders for cards that I don't have the time to stamp just for fun and just for me. Last night I decided to take a little time just for me. I grabbed some CS, PP, stamps and some ink and went to town! I had no idea what I was going to come up. I played around with it all for a little while (stress free!) and then before I knew it I had the design in my head. It was so nice just to enjoy it and let all the creative juices flow. I'm very happy with the outcome! I just might have to make a few more of these to RAK out!! If you haven't done it in awhile I encourage you to take a little me time.

Here is the card the I designed last night.

I used Very Vanilla CS, Pearl-ex, Stazon, Sahara Sand and Whisper White ink from SU. PP from the Old World Stack (Jo-Ann Fabrics). This is a list of stamps that I used--Making Memories (Floral/Dingbat), A Stamp in Hand (Script), SU (for you). I also used some black velvet ribbon, stickles (Ranger), chipboard and gems to embellish the card.

Official Do Over!

Let's give this another try! I know I left one post and then life happened and I haven't been back--bad blogger! This is going to be a fresh start and I promise to try and post every couple of days. Let's see if I can remember everything my good friend Dana told me about blogs *wink*. If not I might have to make a phone call.

Eric and I just celebrated our five year anniversary. We have been together for eight years and married for five. I wonder where the time has gone... There have been so many changes in our lives the good and some not so good but always by far more good. The kids are getting older as are we. Dusty will soon be 14 and Evan is turning 5 this year! I can't believe it! One will be starting kindergarten and the other will be starting high school! Yikes!! Eric will be graduating in May. I am so proud of him!! He will be graduating with honors!! As for myself I am still having some medical issues but I always seem to stay busy with the family, friends and of coarse stamping. I am still doing Stampin' Up! and I am also doing classes here at our home. The weather is finally getting nice and I think spring is here to stay. Well I guess that will do for today, don't want to ramble on too much my first day back! lol!

Here is a card that I made for Eric for our Anniversary. His favorite color is blue so a lot of times I try to add some blue to his cards. All of the paper is SU. I love the Au Chocolat PP that is in the Spring Mini Catty!! You can use classic ink and a brayer to change the color of the vanilla. That's what I did on the part of the card that is blue.

Hope you all have a great day and I promise I will be posting more!!

My 1st Post!

Hello! I am really excited to be doing my first post to the blog! I am very new to all of this so it may take me a little time to get used to all of it. First off I have to give a big shout out to my wonderful DH and my very good Dana for making this all happen!! If it wasn't for the two of them I wouldn't be here. Dana thank you so much for the beautiful banner!! I Love it!! I can't thank you enough for all your help!!

Here is card that I made just a few days ago. DH bought the stamp and glitter for me. What a fun treat! The stamp is from The Artful Stamper, Glitter~Art Accentz and all CS is from SU.
