B is for Birthday

Happy Sunday!! I hope everyone's weekend went well. For the most part, all is well on my little piece of earth. It is just too bad that tomorrow is Monday and back to work I go...

The above card I made earlier today. I used SU Only Orange, Green Galore, and Yo-yo yellow. The stamp set is Just B. I used Labels 4 from Nesties, and all the other embellies were from my stash. My inspiration for the colors was from the yummy ribbon I used. I love to start a card with one piece of inspiration and I love to see how it all comes together, don't you?

Have a great night!

Here Comes the Sun...

Well Happy Sunday All! After a few days of winter again with snow and rain...the sun is out today!! For a minute I was beginning to think I lived in the Northwest. But am I happy to be in sunny Colorado enjoying spring. It rained at our house for 3 days straight, while my mom got over a foot of wet snow and she only lives an hour away...

Anyway, I whipped out this little card earlier today. I used SU Bliss Blue (retired), Basic Black, and Going Gray. The images are from Fifth Avenue Floral and the sentiment is from Warm Words. The cutsey flowers (layered) are from my stash, and so is the ribbon and brads.

I am very pleased that I got a few moments back in my groove in my stamp room this weekend. It always puts a sile on my face...even when it is raining, LOL...Have a great night!

Stamp Camp Cancelled!

What is the world coming to when Stamp Camp's are cancelled? Due to the lovely spring storm we are having in Colorado, my Stamp Camp for today has been cancelled....BOO-HOO!

Well, since I am inside today, maybe, just maybe, I will have to get in my stamp room and try to conjure up my mojo another way...wish me luck!

I hope everyone has a great Saturday...

I'm Alive and well!!

Happy Thursday Everyone!!

I know you all have been wondering just where the heck I have been, and really the only good answers I have are: Busy, and NO card mojo lately. I am not sure why I am in such a funk but hopefully I will bounce out of it soon :)

I go to stamp camp this Saturday again so maybe that time will help me...

I did however make a couple of cards last weekend for some birthdays. This one I made for my wonderful friend, KIM MARIE and my wonderful cousin Julie. I used SU Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze. The DSP is Urban Garden (love that set), ribbon is Kiwi Kiss/Vanilla and the image is from Kindred Spirits. The sentiment is from H and M Stamps and the baubles are Bellas.

Have a great night!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter to everyone!!! Hope everyone enjoys this day with family and friends. May today be peaceful and relaxing to all.

I hope to be back later to post a picture.

Life Gets in The Way

Hi All!

I am so behind on blogging, I do not even know where to begin! I feel as though I have abandoned everyone. But that is not the case...it just seems as though life has gotten in the way. Do you ever feel that way?

I am behind on following all your wonderful blogs as well. I will try to catch up soon. Please do not give up on me...I will try to get more grounded soon. My DH and I are just busy these days and never take a breath. It is just a sneak peek to summer for us...because we NEVER get a break in the summer it seems...we are always on the go!

I hope all is great with everyone...and I hope to be back soon...hopefully post a card this weekend...I haven't even been stamping, OMG, what is my life coming to????
Take Care

Colorado Stampers Challenge #2

Here is the 2nd installment of the Colorado Stampers Challenge. This time the challenge was to use Pacific Point, Real Red, Pink Pirouette, and Whisper White.

Here is my take:

This card was super simple and easy, but still it is cute. The sentiment is from SU Define Your Life, and the small border is from Inkainkadoo. The embellies are just from my stash.

Anyway, we are pretty much recovered from the snow storm last week, thanks to great weekend weather!! I just wish summer was already here as we got a little more snow this morning and the forecast calls for more this week. I will just hang in there, and hopefully use the time to stamp as with summer we are always 'on the go'.

Have a wonderful night!

Baby Shower Cards

This is just a quick post this morning as I have a lot of shoveling to do today! We finally got a hit of winter in Colorado yesterday. We had a light blizzard yesterday, and at my house we probably got around 14 inches of snow. YUCK! But we had such a mild winter we really need the moisture...so oh well, I will deal.

Here is the card I made for my sister's friends's baby shower. They turned out to be more time consuming than I originally thought. Lots of different layers, and although I only made 25, they just seemed to have taken forever, where I feel that I have neglected all my other goodies in my craft room. I actually just got a BIG SU order a couple of weeks ago and haven't played with any of it!!

If you want any of the deets on this card just let me know, as my snow shovel is calling me. Have a great Friday!

Uurrggghhh!

Hi all!

I had every intention of posting a picture both last night and now tonight, but I am sooooo frustrated!! I waste sooooo much time trying to upload pictures on this blogger. I am not sure what the trouble is, but EVERY time I download a picture it "cuts off" half the pic or changes the color or blurs the photo. When I just look at the picture on my computer and camera it is fine. I am not sure where in the downloading process it gets all jumbled.

Anyway, I am tired of trying again tonight. I have tried downloading the same 2 pictures about 10 times with no luck...ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Well, off the computer for me tonight...I guess I will try again tomorrow...

Have a great night!!

New Camper!!

Hi All! Just a quick update! Sorry I have been so MIA lately, but I confess I have a little of the OCD syndrome. My Dh and I have decided to start looking for a new camper...YIPPEE!!! So I have been totally consumed by this. Everyday I either go look at a dealer or two, or at night I am constantly looking at different ones online, I even haven't been sleeping to well over this...It is so bad, but my life is revolving around shopping for a new camper right now. I look at this way...I am doing MY part to help jumpstart the US economy, lol. Anyway, we may have found the one we want...so hopefully I will be back to posting more often soon...

I will keep you updated and will hopefully have pics soon...Have a great Thursday!!
