Totally TURTLES

Here's a picture of the great cards we came up with after doing our Christmas Stamp a stack. I think they turned out great! Hope you enjoy. It's not too late to get this stamp. Only $7.95. Order today and you'll have it forever! You could jazz this card up by adding some ribbon around the bunny's neck. Or even some brads in the center of the flowers. So many different things could be done with this.You could even do a white chocolate bunny. Sooooo Yummy! Happy Easter!

Wow! Where has the time gone??? I can't believe that March is almost over. I know I've been extra busy. Some of you know that I recently started a Girl Scout troop for my daughter. With selling Girl Scout Cookies, camping, practicing a dance routine and of course doing arts and crafts I've neglected my stamping supplies and this blog. I'm finally able to take a minute and catch you all up on what I've been doing. Here's some great cards that we did for my punch club. We had a lot of fun making these cards and I was able to try out the new scallop border trim punch. It corresponds with the scallop corner punch. I did get the ideas from some of my favorite blogs.  Jackie Topa and Jan Tink. What would I do if I had to keep reinventing the wheel. LOL. I've been able to do a little stamping for my daughter's birthday coming up in April. Here's the invite that I came up with. It's the Princess and the Frog party but I can't bring myself to ...

Okay I told you I would try to get a picture of the card we did for the girls on Friday. Here's what we did. We used the new designer series paper to cover the cups and punched hearts with the Full Heart Punch. I had them use the punched out heart for the inside and then we used the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp set to stamp Sweet Treats and Happy Valentine's Day. The colors in the paper are great! Very Vanilla, Real Red, Pretty in Pink and Chocolate chip. If I had red M&Ms I would have used that cause chocolate is the best for Valentine's Day. I had a lot of fun showing the girls how to make these cards. It was a bit more involved and we ended up with 11 girls. But all in all it went smoothly. Luckily the power didn't go out. It was really storming that night. Today is Groundhog day and I guess the critter saw his shadow. Hmmmm. I guess that means another 6 weeks of winter. I did get outside to plant my pansies around the mailbox though. In the 60's today. Here...

Hello again. I've been very busy this week. I had to prepare and hold my daughters Girl Scout Investiture Ceremony on Tuesday. It was great and everyone did so well saying their lines and singing the songs. I think it was a very memorable event for those girls. I also started saving money by clipping coupons and working the deal at Publix. I am not a frugal shopper and I think the stress of clipping and trying to get the cheapest deal on things might make me quit doing this but I did save $56. So I guess it's worth it. Let me see... That's 2 or 3 stamp sets. Or 5 packs of Designer Series Paper.  I guess it's worth it. LOL. I also finally had my punch class on Wednesday. Everyone had fun and I even signed up Jeannette to be a demonstrator. She helped me out before class making sure we had everything cut and ready. She's awesome! I can't wait to help her plan her first open house/workshop. She's so much fun and I know everyone will love her. Even though ...

What a day! Amazing win by the Saints in overtime. A little too stressful for me to watch at times but they pulled it off. Amen! My day was like 4 quarters. First quarter was sleeping in til 10am with my baby girl. She finally woke up and asked were daddy was. I said he got up. She said, "Lets go see what he's doing." I said, "Are you sure you don't want to sleep a little longer?" She said, "Maybe a little more." Then 10 seconds passed and she said, "Okay let's get up now." Too cute! 2nd quarter was Girl Scout practice for our Investiture ceremony. Driving through the rain to get to the church and then running through the program a few times with the girls was all great fun. The highlight of the moment was when we were about to say the Pledge of Allegiance and my cell phone rings, "Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur, the whole club was looking at her." I felt like the whole room was looking at me. LOL. After that w...

I'd like to introduce you to a new friend of mine. Her name is Tess. I think she's very creative, smart and fun. Not only does she stamp and make cards, she can wish people a Happy Valentine, Happy Birthday or just Thinking of You. Hi I'm Tess! Isn't she so cute! I love the new set from the Mini Catalog called Tote-ally Tess. Watercoloring her is fun and I can play around with her hair color and her clothes. I can even make her sexy. LOL. Check out the card I made for Valentine's Day. I used my Big Shot to make the letters for this card. (Timeless Type). I punched circles from scrap paper left over from the Love Bots boxes and attached to the back of Tess. She had to have a Valentine card to hold that she stamped herself. Added a little ribbon and a border punch and I have one sexy card! I'm sure my hubby will love receiving this card next month. If you want more ideas using Tess check back often cuz I'll be using her a lot!

Okay my husband told me a funny story today about a robot that some guy in Japan invented. Her name is Roxy. So here's my Roxy Valentine box. Here's what they look like when you get them. They have 30 boxes in each pack. 3 different designs too. The fold and fit together really easy. Takes less than a minute to put it together. You can add the cute little circle heart shape to the closure if you want. Here's what it looks like before I add some fun stuff to it. I used some of the scraps to make the scallop circle punch and added the heart to the center. Then I tied some ribbon to the bottom after I punched it with the scallop edge punch. Finished size is about 3 x 3. They are thick enough to hold a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. There are boy bots too. Call me to place an order in time for Valentine's day.
