Finally a card!! Lattebella

Today I finally got a few minutes in my craft room. Just don't look too closely at my floors (should have cleaned them instead of making a card). Oh well though, what's a girl to do?

I received a Stamping Bella order this past week, so needless to say, I was excited to play with a new stamp. I am very pleased how this card turned out. Sometimes as I am creating away, I get lost and it seems a card will never come together, whether it be colors, embellies, or layout, but then it does and voila! I am twitterpaited!

This card is for a close friend's birthday whom I have known for over 25 years...crazy, I know. Any who, the CS is SU Pink Pirouette, Going Gray, and So Saffrom. The pattern CS is SU hostess bundle and I pieced it on her pants as well. I just fancied them up a little with some pink pencil and stardust pen. I colored the image with pencils and mineral spirits and stardust pen for accents. Of course, I used my nesties and SU scallop punch. The ribbon, flowers and baubles were from my stash.

Hope you enjoyed my card..I just love it!

Have a relaxing evening...

ATVing at Pole Hill

Happy Saturday!


My DH and I got up early this morning to go ATVing up in the mountains. We had a lot of fun on a trail brand new to us. We actually attempted to go on this trail last summer but when we got there it was too crowded so this time we decided to get an early start. It worked!! We were the first ones at the trailhead...yippee!

Here is a picture of me on the trail...

Here is a picture of my DH, Val...

This trail is just outside of the town of Estes Park. Here is a picture of Estes Park at one point on the trail. Just a gorgeous view...Life is great!!

Afterwards, we went into Estes Park and had lunch. While we were there, I snapped a quick shot of the famous Stanley Hotel (top picture). This hotel is gorgeous and is widely known for being the location in the classic scary movie "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson.

Anyway, once again, no cards to post, but sometimes a little ATV therapy is just as good :)

Have a great night!!

Happy Campers!

Hi There! Here are a couple of pics from my Memorial Day camping trip that might I say was super rainy and wet!! It was actually a big bummer! The dynamics of the entire trip were changed by the weather. These pics were taken during the only sunny morning. But oh well...I guess a bad weekend camping is still better than the best week at work,LOL.

Anyway, the above pics are of my doggies just chillin' and my goofy husband and our little friend Bella. Enjoy! (don't pay attention to the dates on the pics, as I of course, forgot my camera and we bought one on the way to the campground, and I did not set it up).

Hope to get a card on soon! Bear with me!

I'm Going Camping...I'm Going Camping!!

Happy Tuesday!!

Just a quickie post tonight! Just thought I would share in my joys with you all. I am so excited to be going camping this weekend! My DH and I just recently bought a new camper!! We got a new KZ Spree. Needless to say, this is why I am so excited for my camping trip this weekend. We actually bought it at the end of March, so I have just been itching to get it out and use it...YIPPEE!!! It is right around the corner!

So in case I do not have a moment to post before this weekend, Have a great weekend, and I will be back with pictures to share (if I don't forget my camera) and maybe even picutres of my camper too....

Chat at you soon~~J

How Cute are These Two?

All I have to say is "OMGOSH!!!!" these two little puppies are just adorable!!! They actually belong to my friend/co-worker, and everyday she brings them into the office and I get to "nanny" them throughout the day while I work. Let's just say my office morale has gone up a zillion percent since I get to play with these little guys. It makes the day so fun!!

Anyway, I had the opportunity to bring them home with me tonight for a sleepover too! My two dogs aren't sure what to think...It is kind of like an elephant being afraid of a little mouse syndrome...but they get use to it. Hopefully, I will get more opportunities for sleepovers in the future too...it is so much fun.

As you can tell in the pictures just how tiny they are. The dark one is "Pepito" and the lighter one is "Lucy." In the one picture there is a DVD for scale purposes.

Have a fun night...you know I will, LOL!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to all!! I hope every woman, whether your a mom or not, gets a chance to sit back and relax a little bit today! Cherish the moments we have with our family and friends and reflect on our lives as life is always too short.

Love Ya All!

Busy as a Bee...

Hi All!!

Just a quickie post tonight as I am one busy bee! My DH and I went to Indiana this past weekend to visit my BFF, Dani, and her family. We had a good time, but boy did time fly by! Now that I am home, I need to try to get back into my routine. Work was of course crazy as it always is after a vacation, but oh well. Back to chores at home...

Have a great week...Yippee, it is Hump Day and the weather is beautiful here...,hope it is for you too.

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...
