OMG.......

So remember last night I said we were supposed to get snow? Well.....I think we ended up with 8 inches !! Can you believe that? I looked out the window and the snow on top of our grill is almost taller than the grill itself !! Thank weatherman.......how 'bout some sun so I don't have to shovel.

Since we are obviously stuck inside for yet another day, I decided to grocery shop before it got too bad. While I was at the local store, I found this cutting board on the $1 isle.......lightbulb !! I decided to turn it into a little message center for the fridge:

I had this cutesy kitchen paper that I didn't seem to have a use for....that happens alot lol
I covered the board, pen and note holder with blue cs and the kitchen paper. Used a sentiment from PTI and PTI buttons. My plan is to hang it on the fridge with a suction cup :

Not bad for a snowy day project........the LAST snowy day project (you got that weatherman?) I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and if any of you have some sunshine, would you mind sending some my way ?? : )

Spring...where are you ???

ok, so tomorrow is supposed to be the first day of spring.....uh did you hear that weatherman? Why are you forecasting 4-8 inches of snow? Seriously......haven't we had a long enough winter already ?

I'm trying to keep a positive attitude about the ehhh snow, so I decided to make a spring shower sorta card tonight. Once again, I was cleaning up some of my scraps and couldn't resist this pink paper....I'm really starting to like pink.........anyway, nothing special here, simply finished off the top with a green rhinestone and green ribbon:

Oh did I tell you how much fun it is to have a new puppy ??? That's her throwing a fit right now, out in the rain I go !! Have a great and dry weekend lol

Ready for a picnic

Hey gals....hope everyone is having a great week so far !!

I'm starting to get in the mood to be outside, have a picnic and just watch the kiddos play !! I think we're all tired of being locked up in the house.........

I was going through some of my scrap paper and when I saw this pink on pink polka dot paper, I immediately thought watermelon. I used the Stretch your Imagingation cartridge to cut out the melon and had just enough paper left over to use as part of the mat. I used black stickles for the seeds. The sentiment is from PTI and the ribbon was some that I bought a long time ago and never seemed to have a use for...lol


Have a great night....see ya tomorrow : )

Hey Chic !!

Hey there.....I have to tell ya, I'm totally exhausted tonight. We got a new puppy on Sunday....she's actually done great with potty training but that means I have to get up with her in the middle of the night to take her out.....that cuts into my well-deserved sleep !! But she's worth it.

So.....the card.......been on a roll lately with the Everyday Button Bits from PTI. This time the cutesy little bird :

I have to tell ya something funny.....after I put the bird on and dotted his little eye, I left to get something for the kids (drinks probably lol) and when I came back, somehow the button had twisted and the "eye" was on the top of his head !! It was the funniest looking thing...lol So I twisted it back and stared at it until it stayed lol

Well, time to let the puppy out, have a great night : )

Embossed but not forgotten....

Did you have a good weekend ?? Ours was pretty hectic around here. Tonight's post is super duper short.....guitar lessons for my little rock star lol

I haven't embossed anything in awhile and decided to dust off the folders and give it a whirl.....I love the touch of lace and buttons. Simple but clean : )

So, hope your Monday was a good one....see ya tomorrow : )

Manly.....maybe ?

Evening gals !! Ok, so I'm not so sure about this one......manly ?? I don't know who I had in mind with this card, but I think definitely a boy lol

Let's see what we have.....kraft cardstock base, vintage cream cardstock, oceans tide cardstock...the sentiment is from PTI. I punched out the squares with a SU punch and stampedmy background image in oceans tide ink:

Enjoy the rest of your weekend !! See ya Monday : )

Happy Flowers

TGIF !! I'm so happy that the weekend is here !! Today is my daughter's birthday.......she's growing up too fast : ( We took her to Joe's Crab Shack last night for dinner and she had a blast. She got up and danced with the staff, it was a hoot !!

This is a card that I made for my stash. I decided to stamp the flower stems from PTI 3 times so I could use lots and lots of yummy buttons lol

This card makes me smile everytime I look at it ! Hope you have a fun weekend !!

Last One.......

Simplistic Easter

Hi there !! Tonight I wanted to show you another Easter card.....Only one more after this !! This one I kept soft and simple. The images in the middle are from Stretch Your Imagination and I finished off with light pink pearls.

Have a great night : )

Get Well for Someone Special....

My mom called me the other day to let me know that my cousin is in the hospital with pneumonia. She has such a severe case that they had to transport her to a larger hospital in order to see a specialist. As soon as she is out of ICU I'll be sending her this card and flowers:

Well, Hoarders is on and I can't miss it !! Always makes me wanna clean after I watch this !!

Have a great night : )

Easter again.......

Hey there !! Day 3 of the Easter card extravaganza !! Tonight's card was also made for The Scrapbook Page. Purple is a little outta my norm, but I couldn't resist using that yummy ribbon : )

The pp is from Pinecone Press.....love the ribbon weave paper !!

I'm off to help with homework !! Hope everyone had a productive weekend : )

Spring Cards.....

Hi Gals....hope everyone had a great day : )

Decided to break up the Easter cards a little and show a few Spring cards.......

I used the new WeR Memory Keepers Hippity Hoppity paper....how cute is that ??

Short post tonight !! Have a good one : )

Easter part 2......

Hello again : ) got another Easter card for ya that I made for The Scrapbook Page.......

I wasn't particularly happy with the way the bunny turned out, but I do like the flowersoft as grass in the basket : )

Thanks for stopping by for another day of Easter cards !! Have a great afternoon !!

Easter....day 1

Good morning everyone today is day 1 of my run on Easter cards. I needed to make 5 for The Scrapbook Page and wanted to share them with you : )

Not sure what happened with the first photo...but the second shows the colors better. I started with a 5x5 piece of WeR Memory Keepers sewn cardstock. Added pink and white cs with little bunny brads in the middle. Finished it off with my Easter sentiment from PTI.......

Thanks for stopping by !! Have a great day !!

Birthday part 2.....

Hope everyone is having a great night !! I wanted to share the little recipe books I made to go along with the Birthday card from last night. I had it in my mind that we were going to have a "Pastry Chef Diva" birthday party for my daughter and we were going to make a bunch of cupcakes, box them up for the girls to take home.....well, she decided she wanted to go ice skating instead lol

The books are nothing more than Kraft cardstock that I ran through the Cuttlebug with the swiss dots, plane cardstock on the inside to post the recipes, some cupcake paper and ribbon. I think the whole thing measures 5x5. Maybe daughter #2 wants to bake cupcakes lol...if not, the kiddos will use them to draw in : )

Have a great night !!

Happy Birthday...........

Hey gals......before I start a week long tribute to Easter, I thought I would share a birthday card I made for my stash.

A closer look at the cutie cupcake : )

Thanks for stopping by and have a great night !!

March DT Challenge: Spring is in the Air

Happy first day of March !! For the first time in......oh forever, there is no snow in the forecast !! Hopefully things will warm up some. The kiddos are so tired of being stuck in the house.....so is mom lol

Stopped by Nichole's blog today and she has issued another challenge to the PTI Design Team. Spring Spring Spring !! All of the talented gals chose their own color combos and I decided to go with Lisa's. Here is her palette:

Aren't those colors just wonderful ?? It was hard to chose, but these fall a little more in my comfy zone : ) Here we go.....I started with a 5x7 Kraft card base. Next was a piece of Sweet Blush that I ran through the Cuttlebug with swiss dots. Next was Winter White (sorry gals...I was outta Vintage Cream : ( ) The stamps I chose to use are none other than the wonderful Kim Hughes. I love her stamps and think I own each one !! I heat embossed the bunny and added a little white pom-pom for the tail.....how cute is that ??? Finished it off with pink grosgrain ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by this evening !! I can't wait see all of your inspiration : )
