Hello There! :)

Hi Everyone!!!! well in California we are having a heat wave and I so hate it! I wish I was in Alaska :) ..since I'm not I decided to make a card using Mojo Monday's sketch! and wow this made me get my Mojo back (IMHO) lol! ..since I love it that much I decided that this card will be card #1 for my card class in July! I love using all the colors in this DSP pack and everything flows so nice..I embossed the solid color circle to fit into the lines of the DSP..the only thing not ours (SU) is the flower but that's a simple fix I hope to remedy by next class..so here's the ingredients:
Baked Brown Sugar #131296
Calypso Coral #122925
Night Of Navy #100867
Pool Party #122924
DSP Etcetera #130129
Stamp Set Timeless Talk #126607
Frame Lits Die #Chalk talk #129983
...I have to add that I barely discovered that the post below this one is NOT Giggle Greetings but Tag It #130303..I guess it made me giggle and I got confused :)
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!!

It's Your Day Celebrate!

Hi Everyone!!!! this card is just fun, silly, crazy and can be given to a man, woman or child..it belongs to someone who loves to smile..don't cha think? or is it just me LOL! ..I did stamp an extra image in the Pool Party ink so my class can decide which color they want..I prefer Pool Party but it was to late for me to change my mind..that's why you don't make cards while watching a really good movie..U.S Marshals is a head turner :) .....The flower is a coffee filter that I spritzed with a re-inker and added Shimmer Mist to it..so we will crumple, emboss, shade and crumple some more  :) ..here's the ingredients:
Real Red #102482
I Am Me DSP #130138
Alphabet Press Embossing Folder #130916
So Saffron #105118
OK this stamp set made me LOL! I wish they made more just like this...I have plans for the cat ;)

O Ya COFFEE!!!! Perfect Blend :)

Hi Everyone!!!!! I love how this card came out! it was in my head since I saw this stamp set in the new catalog and for it to come out exactly like I envisioned it ..awesome! but I'm sorry! I didn't have enough time to go get a Starbucks gift card to show you, so I just stuck a reg gift card for reference ..this is card #3 for my card class on Friday..It's the "man" card LOL!!!!! or it could be for a woman..up to them ;) I wanted the pop effect for the coffee cup and it looks so much better in person! I promise :) so my ladies will be cutting out and layering..your welcome! teehee! here's the ingredients I used
Perfect Blend #131392
DSP Victorian Romance #130144
Island Indigo #122923
Tangerine Tango #111349
Embossing Folder Modern Mosaic #129984
Can I just tell you something if some perfect stranger was to order something off my website it would make my day! and I think I would be giddy! and of course that person would get a thank you card from me :) ... I'm not desperate LOL just sharing my thoughts and asking that you please consider me when you purchase SU on-line LOL! 
Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!!!

Just A Little Something For A Special Someone!

Hi Everyone!!! I'm going to make this post quick because my hubby gave me permission to tear out our family room carpet! I will replace it with hardwood in a few months but for now it will be concrete! love it! I HATE CARPET! and all of my fur babies are indoor only so you can imagine our stupid tan carpet isn't really tan..I finally had it today because Kat jumped into her pool ran out to the dirt and walked right in LOL! it made me laugh and shake my head but to me it makes me feel like we live like pigs so out it goes! but it's just me and Chiy working on it because Tim is at work! and I really didn't want him to do it..I love ripping stuff out LOL! does anyone else feel the same way??? OK to the card I'm still rusty but I love this new stamp set and die..I have some more ideas what to do with it! So cool! here's the ingredients ;)

Crazy Busy Month Ahead :)

Hi Everyone!!!! wow another week has flown by! I have a million and one things I'm doing..for one, we decided to sell about 70% of what's in our house! I'm so tired of it all..last month we will have lived in our house for 9 years and about 60% of what we are getting rid of we haven't looked, touched or used in that time..so apparently it's not needed..so out the door it is..and I signed up for two blog hops for this month and I will tell you for one of them which is a Tammy Bag (purse) I'm so stupid for even thinking I could do it..ugh! but I will I promise :) ..so June 4th is my turn and the theme is Say It With Flowers..I'm hoping to show a couple of things and on June 18th it will be the Tammy Bag and in between that time frame I'm gone! so added stress but I will persevere I willl!!!!! So come say hi on Tuesday and of course I will have blog candy for one winner...
Now to the card..I used The Sweet Stop sketch and everything is from SU..I have to laugh a little because I'm looking at my stamp collection and like everything else in my house I sold most of it off! so I'm looking at my "stash" and I'm like hey! I hope I can put something in the square box :) ...but on the bright side I just placed a HUGE order from the new catty yesterday! so huge I got 2 half price items LOL! I ordered ALL the markers..I'm so excited! the only sad part is it will probably arrive and all I will be able to do is look at it and put it back into the box..so I will be back playing with some awesome new stuff late in the month but yay finally new stuff :) and I reactivated my website and hopefully I will get more than one person ordering from it :) crossing my fingers..a girl can hope right :) so anyways have an awesome week and see you on Tuesday!!!
Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!!
