Lucky me!

Isn't this a beautiful award? It was given to me by Margo, who is a wonderful stamper and scrapper. You can check out her blog here, it's full of wonderful creativity! Thanks to her for thinking of me!

Some quick cards....

This is a quick card I made for a relative who's 1st b/day is coming up this weekend, isn't it adorable?!! The elephant and Happy Birthday rub-on is from a b/day shape swap I was in and it's from DGIRLLV, she did such a cute job on it and I knew immediately who I was going to use it for when I received it. Also a big shout-out to Margo for the brad aligner...I use it all the time, and think of her when I do! :)


Everytime I use the HK cart I fall more in love with it, it's so stinkin' cute! I hope the neighbor girl who just graduated from 8th grade likes it too.

Mad TV's Cabana Boy...

Did you ever see the cabana boy episodes? OMG, one of the funniest series I've ever seen, it ranks right beside "more cowbell" on SNL. The series ran for a couple of months and the show ran a contest for the public to audition to be the cabana boy...and these guys didn't hold anything back, if you know what I mean. It was hilarious and I'm giggling/blushing just thinking about it! LOL!

There's a running joke about cabana boys in our family, so here's a card I made for my SIL....who took a pic of our cabana boy and me on our last family vaca, thank goodness they no longer wear european swimwear!

A couple cards...

Here's a couple cards I made for a swap, I think they both turned out nice....I hope Ginnie likes them too!

The inside of this card say, "Of corset's your birthday!" Kind of a cute saying isn't it? I didn't make it up, but did find a stamp that has it on it and had to buy it.

TP Roll Thank-You

Here's my version of a TP roll project and I have to say I love how it turned out! Trying to flatten it was the hardest part, but with the advice of a few smart women on our weekly on-line chats, I was able to brayer it down! Thanks and hugs ladies, you know who you are! Seriously, isn't this just the cutest little project, and all out of toilet paper rolls?!!

We're going to give it to my ds's 3rd grade teacher at the end of the school year. He's going to write something on the 1st tag, I'll write a little comment on the 2nd tag, and we'll attach a GC on the 3rd tag....a perfect way to say "Thanks!"

Stamped Image Swap

I can't believe it's been a month since I updated my blog! I've been busy, but can't post pics of any of my projects because everything has been for swaps that are going out in a couple of weeks, and I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Here's a card I made from one of the images and some of the paper I recieved from the Stamped Image w/ a Twist Swap on SP. I recieved so many cute images and I love all the paper too! It really was a great swap and I hope there's another one soon!


This card is for my newphew's dd's baptism. After making it, I think it looks more like a sympathy card...I hope they're not to offended! LOL! Also, I've decided I'm going to try making a different version of this, placing a scripture in the middle and the cross will be down by the flowers. Does anyone recognize the cross from the Indie Art cartridge...it worked perfect for this card.

A 14 hour crop at Custom Crops

Lucky me! I met up with a fellow Sparker at Custom Crops for a 14 hour crop on Saturday. I don't think I got a lot done other than laugh alot and enjoy our time visiting! LOL! Not really, but I wasn't as productive as I could have been! Only 4 completed pages, a half page, and I started a 6x6 book for my son.

I loved going to Custom Crops and being able to use all the tools that they have, and we all know they have a lot of them! If the store sells it, we could try it! I had some help w/ the Zutter for the 6x6 book, but what a cool tool that is....it's going on my wish list!

Here's my favorite LO from the day! I used the Copic Glitter pens on it, which makes it's all shiny and eye-catching, just like that tatoo.


It was a great day! Meeting Sherrie, recruiting Stephanie, and cropping and shopping at Custom Crops...for 14 straight hours! Did I mention there were margaritas.....

Spring Shape Swap

Here's a couple of LO's that I did using the shapes from the Spring Shape Swap. I love all the shapes and embellishments that everyone sent in, I can't wait to use more of them! Hugs to all who participated, everyone did an awesome job!

Easter morning at our house!


How could I pass up a picture of this bright and beautiful rainbow that came our way in late March?!!
