This card is so blinged out that it shines :) ...The image is from The Greeting Farm and the DP is from Basic Grey..everything else is from my "stash" ..well I lost another follower and I have to wonder are my cards not worthy to come back to? not enough commentary? not just a SU blog? hmmmm...I'm just curious :) ...anyways I have to go P90 with the hubby since I keep gaining weight in the last two weeks..I wonder if it's the pizza, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, caramel apples, hamburgers, kettle corn? Hmmm I don't know what it could be ;0)..see ya tomorrow! Thank You!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy

Hi Everyone!!! I was in a Christmas kinda mood..I am having a Christmas In July at my house on Saturday so I am excited..people will be getting a start on making there Christmas card, this is the first year I have ever done that. I hope we all have fun :) I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday..everything is from my "stash" I did use a real baby bell on her hat..the image is from The Greeting Farm...Tomorrow my mom and I have a date and can I tell ya I am looking forward to our date. My mom is a big time quilter and since I am getting back into quilting we decided to go visit all of our local quilt stores so it's called Shop Hopping. My dad is renting us a car and we will be off, we may be taking a side trip to Sprinkles and maybe one scrapbooking store because yep I haven't seen new Basic Grey DP in so long that I am chomping at the bit to go...It should be a lot of fun either way!!! so anyways I hope you all have a great day! Thank You!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!!! you won't believe what I did yesterday! I CLEANED MY CRAFT ROOM! gasp! I know! you as fellow crafters understand the sweat and work it takes to clean our hobby rooms, so I hope you have sympathy for me and I may have or may not have eaten a Butterfinger chocolate bar when I was done because by golly it was a LOT of work and point worthy..sheesh! I'm bad I know :0( can I say I didn't really enjoy it? it was a Butterfinger after all and not a Snickers bar O yumm..anyways the card..I like it :) ...I haven't played with this image in so long that she was in perfect condition. She's from Your Next Stamp (Fhiona)..I also used the sketch from The Sweet Stop ..I was supposed to use numbers but since I don't really have cute numbers I decided to improvise and use 3 embellishments on 3 corners..get it? ;) ..I hope it counts but if not I understand.Everything else is from my "stash" ...I am off to create chaos in my craft room again, it's not supposed to stay clean right? but I will say this.. my desk is Grey.. ;)Have an awesome day!!! Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!!! I wanted to use my new stamp set called Carry On ##126647.. so I looked at the sketch from Stamping 411 and hey I liked it. I keep reading the rules and I'm not seeing that we have to use all new product so I'm carrying on till they tell me to stop :) ..the ribbon and cherry are the only things not SU..I hope you have a fantastic day!!!! Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! I get to play all this week and I can't be more excited! I also want to quilt so bad! and I have the perfect pattern to get me started I hope to share with you soon .. I was able to play with the new sketch from Mojo Monday this morning, what a great sketch...I made this card for a lady who just lost her sister in a head on collision, how sad. I really suck at sending out cards (like big time suck) but I really want to make an effort. I don't even know how much stamps are but I will find out today. I used old SU DSP the pearls, flower, leaves, ribbon and charm are all from my "stash" ..I hope you have a great day! Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy P.S I forgot to tell you how I did at the garage sale with my cards. I was a little bit disappointed that fellow crafters weren't that supportive and a lot wouldn't even come to my booth but the ladies who did buy were so nice that I couldn't thank them enough. Luckily I make cards to share with you my fellow blog lovers and it's a perk if someone will buy one, so overall I had a good time with my daughter and liked the atmosphere. I would do it again in a heartbeat. :) ..I made $20.00 and hey that was 20 more then I had..so I scored :)
Hi Everyone!! I am so sorry..can you tell when my hubby is home? LOL I always skip blogging and we go off and have fun..I was lucky enough to play right now and I also used a new sketch blog (for me) called My Favorite Things...My family went to see Batman and it was INTENSE! sheesh! but it was so GOOD! ..I am in the process of having a in house garage sale with all my crafty stuff I don't want anymore and wow I didn't even make a dent...O well! I need to keep purging. :) ..Tomorrow Chiy and I are going to a tattoo convention put on by my tattooist in Monterey so I hope to blog but I may not have time so for sure tho I will see you on Sunday :) ..have an awesome weekend!!! Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! I was able to play this morning but as I was looking through all the sketch challenge blogs none of them interested me, so I Googled Sketch Challenge Blogs and I was able to bookmark 4 new one's <- (is that proper English?) The one I wanted to play with is SU strictly and there name is Stamping 411... I took one look at the sketch and my mind started flowing I loved the look of it. So my card has one slight change and that's the position of the bow, as you can tell I ran out of room :) I hope it's still acceptable though and hey I used all current product (double score) ..the DSP Floral District #126919 ..the stamp set is O shoot!!!! it's not in the new Catalog! grr! sorry!! ..The butterflies Beautiful Wings Embosslits #118138.. Elegant Butterfly #127526 ..I hope you have a great day! tonight I will be at an event where I can sell my cards, wish me luck! these are fellow crafters so I hope they understand why some of my cards are $6.00 :) ..O I hope I can sell at least 5! cross your fingers! I will let you know tomorrow how I did :) Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!! here's another simple card..Cordell's best friend's birthday party is next week. I added the "bling" because most guys have diamonds in there ears LOL but not his friend. In fact I always ask Cordell if he wants his ear pierced and it is a loud NO MOM! see Cordell stubs his toe and it's a major thing around here, ya know mom I need to go to my room and elevate it I feel all the blood rushing to it (at the same time he has to say I feel woozyyyyy) ;) ... I hope I don't have to go to the hospital!!! yep that's my son can't handle pain AT ALL, so piercings, tattoos and FOOTBALL are all out of the question (which BTW is so disappointing about the tattoo I really was hoping he would get one that said MOM and had an arrow and heart teehee)....anyways the card was made using all SU ..I also played along with The Sweet Stop for the sketch..Have a great day!!! :) :) :) Thank You!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy

I would like to visit your blogs so go link up :) ..all of the DP and embellishments are from my "stash" ..This is an out of the box card for me so I hope you like it ..have a great day!!!

Hi Everyone!!! it's been a crazy few days! but as of this morning my boys are headed to San Diego (Comic Con) and since they left I have been thinking of cupcakes (again) :) so I pulled out my old set and had fun with Mojo Monday's sketch ..Everything is SU except the pearls..I hope you have a fabulous day..I am off to have fun with my daughter..who I have to give a big shout to because in 3 1/2 weeks she has lost 17lbs on WW ..way to go babe! doc has taken her off one blood pressure medicine so she is on her way! whoo hoo!

Mandy P.S Luanne it should be in the mail today!! wow I've never shipped anything before to the Philippines so it's not easy, so please forgive the lateness :)
Hi Everyone!! I made it! I just finished this card and I love it, most of all I really wish I had a Sprinkles cupcake! my boys are headed to Comic Con this week and Chiy and I will be headed to Disneyland for the day, the next day we will hit up Sprinkles in Beverly Hills there first ever Cupcake ATM is calling our name, they also opened up a Sprinkles ice cream shop next door so yep we are so there but this isn't till next weekend but I thought I would make the anticipation a lot better if I made a cupcake themed card and o ya I can't wait! the image is from TGF and the DP, flower, cupcake button and gems are all from my "stash" ..I did paper piece her dress and headband. This card was going to be The Sweet Stops sketch but since it's only 50% TSS sketch I can't enter it :( but I still love playing with them! I hope you have a great Sunday! Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
