Raspberry Suite Color Challenge Week 9

Hi There!!!
So I am a wee bit late playing in the Raspberry Suite Color Challenge Wk 9. But, none the less I did participate. I LOVED this color challenge. This has been my fav so far. I cut out the flowers with the Cricut then stamped on them, crumbled them up and viola'. The swirly is embossed with black glitter embossing powder from American Crafts. And check out that super cutie below. Mr Grandbaby Logan! I get to babysit that little angel all night tonight. Cant wait to give tons of kisses on those cheeks!! Thanks for coming over here today, hope you enjoyed. I got a few things to do before I go get little man. Have an awesome weekend!
Cheers!

a little grumpy. After my bootcamp work out last night hubby and dd meet me at the shaved ice place. It was a nice little treat that helped to cool me off for a minute! LOL. Anywho.... here is a card I made for a friend a few weeks ago. She is a pink girl so I thought this would do. Thanks so much for coming by today. Hope you enjoy your evening!

Absolutely Fabulous Anya

Hello!!!
Happy Monday, I hope yours is well. My AIR CONDITION (in the house) is out! Arrrggg. It is H-O-T. But ya know what? It could be HOTTER but its not, it could be a huge deal, but its not, all we have to pay for is the service charge. The unit is still under warranty!!! God is good! And I got a new package in the mail today of some goodies to play with. So all in all, I can consider this a good day! Check out this Anya cutie. I love having scrappy, crafty friends. Either Angela or Tina let me stamp with her. I forget who since I have had her stamped for a little while now and either way they are both fabulous girls! Okay, I am gonna run, I need an Appletini to cool down LOL (green apple martini -yum). Thanks bunches for checking me out today!
Cheers!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge Week 11

Good Sunday Morning to you all!!!! I hope all of you in the USA had a FABULOUS 4th of July.

Here in Nashville, TN we got DRENCHED!!!! It rained sooooooo hard. I don't ever recall a 4th that it had rained. Regardless, we still had fun and the fireworks display was wonderful. In fact I just found out last night that Nashville is one of the top 5 states for fireworks display on the 4th!

Pretty cool I thought. So, on to the cards. I am in need of some thank you cards and I took the opportunity to make some fun ones with Dawn McVey's Color Challenge. Her mix of colors are always so fun. Here are two that I made. I wanted some texture so instead of stamping I decided to dry emboss them. Also I do not have light grey twine, ribbon, or thread so I just used a teeny tiny strip of paper to thread the button on the top card. I hope you have fun checking out all of the color challenge players. Thanks so much for stopping to look at mine. Have a great Sunday!

Cheers!

Hi All!! Happy Thursday AND 3 day weekend! woohooo! So.....I have this card to share and I am so excited about it. My apologies for the poor quality of the photo. This is my very first card published, you can find it in Cards Magazine June 2009 issue. I love that mag so I was more than elated that they chose one of mine to publish. I have one coming out in the August issue too, so be sure to check it out as well. Do you all have big plans for the 4th? Tomorrow I get to see my bestest friend, she just got in town from Colorado, sooooooo many miles away from me. We are going to swim and hang out at the pool (at her dads house) and catch up and gossip and laugh and relax and have a great time. I cant wait to see her. Hope you enjoy your tomorrow! thanks for your visit!!

Hi!!!! I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday. Mine is good, 2nd day on the new job. I haven't ran out the door crying yet, so I guess that is a good sign. It is a tad bit difficult to get accustomed to work life outside of an ER. I will keep on truckin' though.
So today I wanted to share a cute little card with stamps and a cricut. I am having a hard time leaving that Cricut alone huh? That's okay I am having so much fun with it. All of the deets are listed below. Thanks a TON for your visit. Have an awesome night!

Happy Beautiful Sunday, It is a gorgeous day here in Mt Juliet, TN! I had lots of playing time in the craft room this weekend (wooohoooo). LOVE weekends like that. Had time to shop AND play. what more can a girl ask for? Just in case you were wondering dh is STILL working on the kitchen floor! What turned into a 2 day project ended up being a 2 week project. Oh well we are ALMOST done. With running into problems and having to work full time, the project just drew out. Anyway,I hope you like the cards I am sharing today. I was playing with the cricut (again!)

Popsicle Pinquin

Hi There!!

Thanks so much for coming by today. I am still trying to get into the swing of things. Still come catching up to do AND dh is still working on the kitchen floor. Gosh love that man, poor baby, every time he starts a project something terrible happens. So a fairly simple tile project turned into at least 10 trips to Lowes and cutting into a water line where the washing machine goes and so on. so my stove and washer/dryer and in my living room floor and my refrigerator is in front of the front door, seems so odd to head out like I am going outside to get milk from the fridge.

Annnnyyyyway. Here is a simple little card I made from my friend Gina's Penguin stamp and Popsicle stamp. A friend gave me the super cute Popsicle ribbon and I totally LOVE pink and orange for summer. I used PTI White, True Black and Raspberry Fizz cardstock with CTMH Orange cardstock. I also used Copic and Prisma Color Markers and the Fiskars Threading Water Punch. Thanks again for stopping by, have an awesome night folks!

Cheers!
