Bee Mine

Here is the card I made for the challenge. Check out the Artistic Avenger to see what Carrie created. The rules were pretty simple, must have a heart and the colors Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Bashful Blue.  The layout on my card is similar to one I just did for a small swap put together by Cindy Stoll. I can’t wait to get those swaps back so I can show you.

Well Carrie, thanks once again for the challenge. I had fun and I hope you did too!

Have a great weekend!!

A Valentine Flower and Card for you

valentine-flower-pot-and-card.jpg

I finished these up and had to get a picture out. The card is cased from a sister demonstrator, Debbie Gardunio. She made a card with the same colors and layout, I just changed the stamps. The flower pot was inspired by something I recieved at the SU Convention last summer. I used all punches to make this except for the heart of course.

These are the other two projects we will be making this Saturday at my stamp camp. I am still not sure about the card I made on my last post so that might actually change…not sure yet. If I do make something else I will post that here on Saturday.

Well gotta run! Have a great weekend!!

For a man or made for a woman?

 

Do you think this card is too flowery for a man? I always have a hard time making cards for guys. This will be one of the cards for my class this Saturday. I am going to bring a bunch of other sayings in case someone doesn’t want a Valentine card. This could really be a card for anything, which is nice. I will post the other two projects I am working on this weekend. Another Valentine card and a little Valentine treat made using punches!

Have a fantastic rest of your week. Thanks for stopping by!

Treats For My Aly’s 3rd Birthday.

 aly3rdbday.jpg

Aly’s 3rd birthday was on the 6th and we had a little party here at home for her. Al helped me decorate Aly’s cake, which was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Aly is a very lucky little girl to have such a great Daddy! Of course the cake had to be Cinderella, because Aly is a Princess and is all about the Disney Princesses.

At daycare they had a small celebration for Aly with mini cupcakes and presents. These are the treats that I made for each of the kids. They are just little packets of M&Ms cover with a strip of 8 1/2″ x 3″ natural card stock. I rounded the corners and stapled it at the top making sure to go through the candy wrapper. Pretty simple. I through them together in like 20 minutes. My plan was to make these all pink and girle, but my boys said that wasn’t fair since there were two boys at daycare as well as themselfs and they couldn’t take a treat that was all pink and frilly. Boys! So this is why they are red and not pink in case you were wondering. These would make a great Valentine treat for class parties or co workers.

We are going to get family pictures taken today, so I need to run and figure out what the heck we are going to wear…oh the joy! Have a great weekend!!

Here we go…a stamp camp anyone??

dsc_0004.jpg

OK, so my new goal is to post on Wednesdays and on the weekends. That is when I am around home and have a little more time to play and get on the computer.

This is my stamp camp card for tomorrow night. I used the “Just B” set on this card and a ton of punches! I am part of the Mile High Stampers in Littleton Colorado and every month we have a 12 cards for $25 stamp camp. Hope everyone will like it. It does look better in person then this picture.  Do you think it is missing anything?? If you are in the Denver metro area and interested in joining us send me an email/comment and I will get you directions!

Have a great rest of the week!

My first card of 2008

dsc_0028.jpg

Here it is, can you tell I am tired of the snow already. I need some color!! It is really sad that I am so sick of winter and it just officially started. Maybe it is because of all the snow we had last year over and over again. I am ready for spring…gee only 3 more months…blah!

This set ,” Time Well Spent” is a level three hostess set in the new 2008 Spring and Summer Stampin’ UP! catty. I love the sentiments and how fun and fresh this set is. I used water color crayons and markers on this so that some of the colors were soft and others popped. This will be one of the cards we will make for my next Stamp Camp on the 11th.

Have a super day!!

Happy New Year!!

   dsc_0026.jpg

Well here it is, my new room. I am so thrilled to have a place of my own to create. To tell you the truth it is a little overwhelming that I have no idea what to do with it. I have all of these blank white walls and have no idea what to put up. Like I have time to decorate the room anyway…ha! There is a large window to the right, which is the front of the house and it lets in such great light during the day. I still need to unpack a lot and put it away, but I now have all this great storage under the desk in those cabinets..whoot!!

I did manage to work on a card yesterday, but that will be posted tomorrow. It felt really good to get something done even if it was just one card. I can’t wait to do more!

Hope you all had a fabulous New Year! Al and I are looking to a New Year with a fresh start. Thank you so much for the warm wishes. I didn’t realize how much I needed them until I read them, so Thanks!!

Happy New Year!!!

hugs,

Pam
