Enchanted Lily Card

Hi all! I finally got a chance today to play with my new Enchanted Lily stamps from Pink Cat Studio. This is the first time in a long time that I have used rubber stamps and it took a few monutes of practice to place it where I wanted it! I had forgatten the "fun" of having to cut out the rubber stamps and mount them on E-Z mount.

Here is my Lily with the adorable frog- I colored them in using my Copics and some CTMH markers. I don't know if you can tell the difference but I sure can. The Copics are so much smoother and give a more even coverage! (Although I probably shouldn't tell you that sonce I am a CTMH rep- but I figure I have to be honset!)

Here is close up of Lily - I of course had to glitter her wings! I am a glitter girl after all!

And a little bit o' news- I had my big variance meeting last night for the extension we are putting on for my in-laws and much to our relief- everything was approved!!!!! We are so grateful and can finally get ready to start having all the construction begin.

Blog candy contest update- thanks to everyone who voted in my card contest. The voting will close on Friday and I will announce the winner on Saturday!! There is still time to check it out!

Have a great day- off to get the kids!

Mother's Day Workshop!

Hi everyone! This has been one busy week for sure! Thanks to all who keep coming back and checking out my blog- even when I miss days of updating.

So, I finally finished the Memory Keeper Box and cards for my Mother's Day Workshop. I used CTMH's Emporium Creative Basics kit for the box and the cards. I had a lot of fun designing these cards.

Here are some close-ups of the cards:

Special thanks to Judy for the idea for this card- Thanks!!

Thanks to all the great ladies who came Friday night- we had a blast and I laughed until I cried- Mary -you can definitely tell a story!

Food Journals

Hi all- hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We had a busy one for sure- soccer games and lots of other things!

For anyone who is interested- I can actually run almost two miles now! It feels great and I really feel like I'm making some progress!

So here are the two new food journals I made for the nutritionist at my gym- she may want to see if her clients would be interested in buying them ( that would be soo exciting!)

Thanks for looking-have a great day!

Happy Saturday!

Hi all! I can't believe how the week flew by! I've been so busy with lots of stuff going on and haven't had much time to create!
Soccer begins today for David and Emily and then Emily has a birthday party- fun! I'm looking forward to being outside again as it gets warmer.
I'll be back later today to post some new food journals I've been working on. The nutrtionist at my gym might be interested in selling some to her clients to help them keep track of their food. It's really been helping me- I'm down around 4.5lbs now! Woohoo!
I'm also working on my Mother's Day workshop gift box and cards. If anyone is interested in the attending this workshop or purchasing a kit, please let me know!
Hope everyone has a happy day! See you later!

Happy Sunday! I was fortunate enough to attend a Crop Night at my friend Denise's house on Friday night. We had a blast! There is nothing like meeting up with friends for a few hours and spending some time cropping and laughing!

I spent the time working on my cousin's baby book. Here are the two pages I finished on Friday-

Here is a close up of one month old-

Here is a close up of two months old-

I used the Emporium paper and the large Chocolate Alphabet stamp set!

I hope you like them!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Good afternoon! I hope everyone is having a great day! I am- I made it to the gym this morning and actually ran for 15 minutes straight! For some this may not be a major accomplishment but for me with my asthma and extra (lots of extra) weight, I was so excited!

I made this cute little baby boy card for my sister-in-law's sister who just had a baby boy recently! I used one of the new stamp sets, Family Ties and think the baby is just perfect. For the word "miracle" I used my favorite alphabet set Chocolate (small).

Thanks for looking- have a great day!
