Picture Frame

This is a frame that I made for my friend who just got married in June. I used Bazzill cardstock Basic Grey paper, SU chipboard, pink brads and ribbon.


The "M" and the "J"are cut out of the wedding invitation. The "M" has part of the invitation that has her name on it and the "J" has part of the invitation that has his name on it. The "DOT" of the "I" is also cut out of the invitation with the word "wedding," and the "heart" has the date of the wedding. And, to finish it up, I used the ribbon that was on the wedding program.

I really hope she likes it. It was like a freaking light bulb over my head when I thought to use the wedding invitation as part of the frame.

Christmas Cards

This year I am into "simplicity." I have made these cards and have decided these will be my cards this year. Perhaps I should use some "Martha" glitter on them (see post below).

What do you think?

I'm so NOT a Martha fan...

I'm here to tell you that I do NOT like Martha Stewart. Who knows all that stuff? But most of all, who does all that stuff?

I swore I would never purchase Martha products. So, with that being said, I was at Michael's today and Marty's products were on sale for 30% off. Well, I decided to take a little stroll down Martha Stewart Boulevard and I found this glitter. Do I use glitter? No. Do I need glitter? No. I LOVED the color so much I decided I had to have it. In fact, I may go buy more colors tomorrow.

Now that I am purchasing this glitter, can someone tell me what I can do with it?

Time for the Bubbly!

I just absolutely adore this set (obviously, I have more than one card on here using it - DUH)!!

I want to to the MFT challenge on SCS if I can figure out how to load the card in the MFT gallery.

I used Bazzill cardstock and the pattern paper is K & Company. I also used by SU square scallop punch. I colored the wine bottle with a Prisma marker. I added Prima flowers, brads and ribbon. Oh yeah, and for the bubbles I used Liquid Applique.

Paper piecing is so time consuming but I really enjoy it. :)

Flower Fancy

I used one of the stamps in the Flower Fancy SU set. I also ran the edge of the card through my Cuttlebug (what a wonderful gadget!). I then sponged the card and added a ribbon. For some reason, I am really digging these colors alot lately!

President Obama

Okay, just let me say that I work in a position where my boss is "elected." I will also say that I could really care less about politics of any way, shape or form.

I always thought that I would never be alive to see a black president OR a woman president. Personally, I am thrilled that is has finally happened (although I was REALLY wanting Hillary)!

It has nothing to do with whether I like or dislike McCain, because I have nothing against the man (but his wife? GRRRR.....what a scarey please-let-me-try-to-look-like-Barbie "plastic looking freak"!) Sorry, but I really don't sugar coat things.

I see that maybe now that Obama has been elected, perhaps this country is becoming a little more "tolerant." Maybe Obama looking for a "change" won't be the only change to happen in this country. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

And "by change" I mean, racial tolerance and nothing in a political sense. It doesn't matter who won, there will be people that won't be happy.

SU - Upsy Daisy

For this card I used the long SU notes, Upsy Daisy stamp set, LeJardin paper, Artichoke stamp pad, prima flowers and brads. I have actually had a different background and I didn't like the paper I had so I tore it off and of course there was torn paper and adhesive. I still wanted to use the note card so I took scraps of the LeJardin paper and just put it in different places. I hated it until I stamped it then I decided I like it.

Stamps By Judith

This is a card using Stamps by Judith. I like how it turned out.

Sweet Little Baby Liam

This is my baby grandchild in his Sweet Pea Halloween costume. I just want to squeeze him. He is so sweet and such a good little baby.

I just love this stamp from A Muse. I've become addicted to these stamps. I used A Muse notes. I didn't have a "sun" stamp so I used a circle punch on a sticky note and sponged the sun on.
