Enjoy

And wishing all of you Mothers out the very Best of a Happy Mothers Day.

Sunny Days

Hope everyone is enjoying a glorious Saturday am. It is sunny and gorgeous here in New Jersey, and is forecast to be that way for the next week, HOORAY!! This is my time of the year, with my health issues I don't do well in the heat or cold so this is perfect for me, I personally hate when we go from winter right into 80 degree weather and humid, I love my SPRING.
Any way, I have been very busy stamping away, our local SS is having a booth at our local Trade show in two weeks, and they have asked me to make demo cards using some of their products to promote sales, and gee they asked me to a make a bunch using Penny Black stamps, one of my many favorites, so I will put up some of the cards I have made for them. I had to keep them simple which is hard for me, they wanted the people at the trade show, not to be overwhelmed, thinking that it would be too hard for them to do. So no fancy cards, just some CAS cards. I have made 15 so far and now have to do some using some alcohol inks, time to get messy.

If you like stamping you have to check out the Lily Pad Cards, their Blinkie is on my side bar, stupid me, (Blog challenged) can not figure out how to add links into these posts, have tried and get so annoyed when it does not work!.) Their Blog is GREAT, lots to learn, do and get inspired by.
Another great site is The Penny Black Blog, and The Daily Marker. Both wonderful Blogs.
Oh well, back to crafting.
Hugs to all.

The first picture is Penny Black stamp, and the second card is using some Hero Arts stamps and mixed with some Gina K. stamps. I am not commited to just one stamp line, I am addicted and love most that I come across, my house would be filled if I could afford it!!! God forbid I ever win the lottery! I would buy a house and use it just for crafting, fill it with supplies and invite anyone to come by any time and just have fun, no charge, and that house would be filled with stamps, EVERYTWHERE!! A true Crafting retreat!! One can DREAM, where would be without our DREAMS.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Blog world, have not been around much lately, have finally gotten back to creating some cards, of which I will upload two now, and hopefully will start posting and creating on a regular basis. Life just seems to be in over drive lately and blogging is the last thing I get to do!!
See you soon!!

My dear and lovely dog is doing it now!.

Spring card

Well Hello all , lovely weather today here in NJ, Spring is in the air, so here is a spring card that I did, and I am working on another, just rolling them out lately,
I used my Martha Stewart punch, some Spellbiners nestabilities, a Hero Art Butterfly stamp and some scrap material laying around, I also Hot glued some lace to the underside of my butterfly to give him or her some Lift!!

I am trying to get a bunch of cards made for Operation Write Home, I think I have another 50 right now, I had sent a bunch in before the Holidays, so will send some more in soon.



Will be back later with some more.
Enjoy!!

Hero Arts 90 minute Challenge At Flickr!!!

Hi All,
Well, this weekend is my turn to be Hostess to the 90 minutes Scramble Challenge.
We all at the Flickr Hero Arts group have been having regular Challenge's with a random winner being drawn out of those whom participated. Lots of fun, it is amazing what you can do in 90 minutes, and the mess one can make of their craft area in that short of a time frame! When it starts, 2 PM this time on Saturday March 5, I or the hostess of that challenge, will tell you what the guide lines are or what you have to make your card of by or around. Sounds hard but it is easy and fun. Did not think I could do it, but did and had a blast and now I am addicted, love doing them.

So if you are free come join us. Been trying for over an hour to add a link to the web page and I am so stressed, it won't let me add a link (Blogger), tried numerous times, so will try copying and pasting it here, and then you can do the same until I figure this out, now you know why I don't blog on a regular basis!!

Later,

Ho Hum

Well, as I have no followers, I have not been blogging lately, and that is my fault as I am not a good blogger, I don't get enough time to come here and be able to think and then type, so it is hit or miss, my new years resolution was to Blog daily, well that went right out the window!!! WE have had one thing or another happen and it has been non stop. We recently had a death in the family that has left us a bit numb. My dear brother in law died unexpectedly at 53, heart attack we think after having shoveled snow that day! Be careful, hire some young teenagers, it is not worth it, we may think we are in shape, when some times as we get older, we think it but we aren't, I am the first one to admit it. So now there is such a void by his boisterous antics and dry humor. I find myself missing him daily, he lived only 4 houses away so we did see him all the time.

So now life goes on, as it must. I try to keep busy creating my cards, and doing the things that need to be done.

So one of these days, maybe I will get interesting enough to write about myself and what I am doing. For now. This Blog is just on hold and to be used for my card challenges and creations. Above is one of the Thank You cards that I made for Johnnys Funeral, that in itself has kept me busy. I used some Hero Arts stamps and also Gina K stamps, bazzil cardstock, memento ink and some bling!!
If someone does stop by, THANKS.
