Thanks for visiting and I hope to make more creations soon!

RAK FOR LINDA AND DENISE...
Monday, April 27, 2009
SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR MY ASSISTANT...
Our company closed the office at Noon last Friday and took all of us to a luncheon at 3660 on the Rise. The buffet was AWESOME and after eating and some Karaoke (no I didn't sing ... only danced to the music), a bunch of us went across the street to Brian's for a little Make & Take and also made some purchases!
Speaking of purchases, did you guys go to the sale at J's? 30% off the ENTIRE STORE until tomorrow!!! Linda and I went during our lunch hour yesterday and got to meet some crafting ladies! Boy Clifford is so patient with all of us women trying to get bargains ... thanks Clifford.
As we were leaving, we were lucky to meet Jodi of Inked Inspirations. As you all know, Jodi has the most FABULOUS creations on her blog! It's so nice to meet blogging sisters in person!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK ALL!!
SUPER DUPER AWESOME WEEKEND...

OCS CARD FROM JONI...
Joni used the SU Top Note die which she embossed with the Swiss Dots, stamped images of the flowers from the Fifth Avenue Flower set (she actually cut it out before adhering it to the card), added "happy thoughts" peeking from the side, and pretty SU ribbon. AWESOME!! Here's a closeup of Joni's work. EXCELLENT JOB JONI!
Boy, Teri's OCS is sooo super fun. I can't wait for the next one! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK TERI!
Okay Sisters, thanks for checking out my blog and talk to you again real soon! Take Care!

SKATER IAN...
Here's a closeup ... don't look too close because Ian looks like he has a bruise on the left side of his head because Sister is still learning how to color with her Copics. LOL!!
After seeing the glaze that Jen used on her ice cream cone, I remembered that I had a bottle of that glaze and was hoping it wasn't all dried up because it has been YEARS since I last used it. Thankfully it was still in liquid form so I added dimension to Ian's hat. Thanks Jen for triggering my memory!
Don't look too close at the picture because you can see my terrible coloring ... man, gotta take some SERIOUS lessons!! Boy it really looks like Ian has a huge bump on his head or some serious acne action going on. Sigh...
I was happy because when my son Travis saw the card, he said "Wow, cool card Mom!" Hee hee...
I just some new stamps from TGF, so will be playing with them next. Have a great week girls and thanks for stopping by!

YES IT'S QUICKUTZ AGAIN...
I used my SU Biz Top Note die, and added a little branch for Mr. Owl to sit on. I also used DSP as my matting. I kinda like Mr. Owl and think he's pretty cute... Have a great weekend of CRAFTING ... talk to you again real soon!

MY VERY FIRST AWARD...
I'm passing the LOVE to these 5 sisters ... all superb creators:

- Jen ... Pieces of Me

FORGOTTEN QUICKUTZ PURCHASES...
In the same package I found this QuicKutz Castle and I remembered a super cute sample card I saw at Stamps & Memories, so I decided to try and make the card from memory. I added stickles to bling up the towers, and also used the QuicKutz Cannon Blast (just like in Disneyland). Here's what I made.
Thanks for checking it out and hope you like the cards...

RAK FROM CHALSIE...
As a sign of my appreciation, here's a thank you card I am sending to Chalsie for sending me the images. I've been wanting to use my SU Fifth Avenue Floral, and I thought it would be perfect for this card. I also wanted to use the "so... tweet" stamp I bought from J's Knicknacks. I hope she likes my card... It's been so nice making new friends in blogland! Everyone is so super nice! Thanks for stopping by, and talk to you again real soon!
GET WELL CARD...

CARD FOR FOR MY APRIL OCS PARTNER...
Here's my card for Joni Haraga, my April partner for Teri's OCS. I used my Anya stamp and colored her with my Copics. I also used my SU DSP from the bunch that I bought from Teri, added some dew drops that Linda had given me, put ribbon, and ended it with adhering a Prima flower. I hope my partner likes the card! I can't wait for the May OCS! Thanks Teri for coming up with this swap!

SHOULD I BE CRAFTING OR SHOULD I BE DOING...
I really should be doing it, but of course I choose CRAFTING!!! I have the day off tomorrow ... YIPPEE ... so I plan on playing with my "toys". The 3 men in my life bought me the Wii Fit this past Christmas ... you think they were they trying to tell me something??
Okay girls, it's a never ending battle of the buldge for me and YIKES, I cannot remember the last time my thighs didn't touch!!! HAHAHAHA!!! So, I told my Honey that I don't know what happened and I just woke up one morning and BAMMMM, I just look like how I do!! The other day he came home from work and told me that he had a surprise for me ...
Okay, so my goal for this weekend is to make my card for Teri's OCS. My mind is going a mile a minute right now with so many ideas, so I hope I don't disappoint and can come up with something nice for my swap partner!
I stopped off at Ben Franklin after work to get my supplies so I can ATTEMPT to make Teri's double shaker card from her tutorial. View it here. Wish me luck! Thanks for listening to my nonsense...

BABY SHOWER FAVORS...
Okay, here's the scoops: I downloaded the onesie template from Lauralynn's Baby Onsie Template on SCS. Sorry, but I OLD so I cannot remember which website I downloaded the baby pooh images from, but I all I know is that it was FREE ... don't you just LOVE those websites!! Next I punched out scallop circles, used double stick tape to attach the image, put pop dots to raise baby pooh, mini brads as snaps for the bottoms, and then glued mini bows.
Hope you like it and thanks for visiting!
