Scarpbooking....Lately

Hi all!... Wow I really don't like scrapbooking it takes to long and to much thought... But I like my out come... here are to pages the first one is a Halloween page no picture yet... and the second one is a page of my baby boy when he was only a year old, our first spring living in NC... He is sitting in the front yard discovering a piece of bark under the tree... I just love that innocence that they have when they are looking at something and discovering it for the first time and finding there senses of touching everything.... That was a Perfect Day!

Halloween Pictures....

Hi all, how is everyone doing, I have been busy with just planning thing for Thanksgiving this is my first time entertaining for Thanksgiving, we are having friends come over... I am very excited about dinner I have been consumed on what I am going to make... So I have been web searching for recipes... Off the subject I went, well here are some pictures I took of the kids before we went trick or treating... Enjoy see Yah! later...

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Sunday thinking....

Hi all, How are you all doing on this beautiful Sunday, I just love when you wake up in the morning and it's cold outside and inside, instead of having to put the air conditioner on to make it cool inside... I love to wake up and feel the cold feeling of winter coming...
This is a card that I came up with, I made this sample card for my BF in Bronx, NY for her to see ...
During the summer I made her some baby announcements for a family member baby shower and they just loved them.... So Joann asked if I can make another set of baby announcements for a baby shower that she is going to next month and of course I said yes I love to come up with new ideas and show off my work ...
The bad part is that the girl that is having the baby does not know what she is having so I have to try to make something that is unisex.... As well Joann told me that her friend like earth tones colors and these are the colors that I came up with... I used Mellow Moss and Choco Chip CS and Very vanilla for the mat for the Bunny... I used the water color pencils (brown) from SU which I love to use... And the bow I used a green that almost matches with the mellow moss but the pictures shows something else but believe in real life the green bow almost matches the mellow moss.... Well Joann I hope you like it... call me later...Keep stampin because I know I will...

Pink, Pink Pink think Pink Chirstmas

Hi, all here is a Pink Christmas card I just love the simplicity of these cards they took me no time to make and I just love how clean and simple that they came out ... I think they are ready to be sent on there way to give Holiday Spirits to family friends...
I Just can't express how upset I am I took my test on Sep. 12Th and they said that we would get our certification within 30 days from the day we took our test ... I still have not received anything yet... I do know that I passed and that is it no certification card yet and without that I can't apply for work or volunteer... I have called them and left messages and no one has called back .. go figure... hopefully I will be getting something in the mail this week... The only reason I am worried, our mail is always so screwed up were I live and they have been plenty of times were I have not received really important mail... but I always get my bills.. go figure that one out too... So when NC OEMS calls me back and if they said they have already sent it I am going to be upset and heading to the post office...

I am thinking of a Bashful Blue.... Christmas

Hi, all I have to say I love Bashful blue... I don't know what is going on but this year I am starting to like to make Holiday with the pastels colors it is a little different then always making them with reds Burgundy's and dark blues... I think it is soothing and cheerful looking...

I have been trying to make myself make a card or two a night after everyone has gone to bed and I can say that I can actually relax .. If you see a post for that day then you know that I had time in the evening to make a card instead of going to bed and falling asleep... will here is my card...

Frightful Halloween Treat Holder

Hi, all sorry I haven't posted but my camera is acting kinda funny lately... I hope these pictures are good I hate to post the pictures when they don't look good...

I got this idea from Lauren Meaders blog... She made one for thes Holiday as hot cocoa holder and I loved it...

I didn't make exactly like hers but I made my own version with a Halloween theme... I haven't thought of what I want to put in it, so I can give away as aHalloween gift.. if you have any suggestion please leave me a comment with your suggestion I will kindly appreciate it...

If you want the tutorial on how to make it visit Lauren Meader ... Click on her link on my blog it is on the Right side bar....

Keep goint down there are 3 pictures to view... Have a Happy stampin Day!

Very Excited... Chirstmas is near! My Favorite time of the year!

Hi all!... I can't believe Christmas is almost here... I also can't believe that the year has gone so fast... I have to say this year really just went so fast, and now the holidays are here again, it feels like just yesterday we were opening Christmas gifts .... okay maybe I am exaggerating just a bit....
I really have been in a big Christmas spirit with making cards and I have some cards for you that I think that are going to knock your socks off or at least I thing so.... My stamp set that I used is Flaky Friends SU stamp set, I brought this set last year before it retired and I am really glad that I got it ... I love the snowmen in this set it is a perfect stamp for adding just a little touch of coloring to make the snowmen pop out...
Well I thought to myself that I wanted to make those card sets that I said that I was going to make for my family and friends that wanted some handmade cards.... I know that they are going to really appreciate anything that I give to them... and that is why I want them to be perfect for them ....

I really didn't go with a traditional Christmas color I used...

CS - going grey, pretty in pink, bashful blue

Stamp pad - Black
Makers

I used the same colors for all 4 cards and I also put 2 brads on each of the cards, I am really excited on how they came out... I hope you do to... Have a happy stampin day, I know I will...

OMG... What is wrong with these people....Help me!!

Hi all, I couldn't believe this picture I found in my daughters camera... This is Pink Trouble yes, my daughter named her Pink Trouble... and she fits her name perfect... Well back to what I was talking about I went to use my daughters camera thinking maybe I can have better luck with a clear picture of my projects that I have been working on.... when I go to look at what she had on her memory card I couldn't 't believe my eyes... I can't believe that Pink let her tie her to the chair and stay still to get her picture taken... Pink and my daughter have a very special relationship Pink and Leah can't live without each other... she is my daughters baby she sleeps at the head of the bed and nobody at night can go into the room... just a warning... Okay I am rambling about a dog her is the pic... enjoy ...

I do have some things that I have been working on but I just need to take pictures of them to upload and crop and I hate this part... so as soon as I get it done I will have it uploaded for now enjoy the pic of the dog Pink Trouble...
Have a happy stampin day...

Really not another Halloween card....

Hi all, here is yet another Halloween card... I am really on the role on making Halloween cards ... I really don't know why I am making so many Halloween cards because I really don't have that many people I can give a Halloween card to... so many people don't celebrate Halloween because of their religious believe which is fine to me ... I can still send to the ones that don't mind getting Halloween cards and my friends that have children they get a kick out of the cards that I make... They like all the card they get happy to get a homemade card... which makes me feel good to know that some people out there still care about the time and effort we put in the cards we make... Welll again I used a SU set... Hope you enjoy... Have a happy Stampin Day!... I know I will...

I have to say this is my favorite from the 3 so far... and this card is actually a mistake... go figure how that works...
