Like a lot of people, using the Bold Brights color palette from Stampin'Up! can be a challenge for me. However, for my last class I had here, I really wanted to use some of the products that are featured in the Occassions mini being as they will not be around much longer. I had the…
No new posts….I know it's been a while. It's been a combo of lack of motivation and time. It seems like I either don't have the time or when I do have the time, I just don't have the energy or desire. The worst part is that I've actually been stamping and working on stuff….
Everytime this happens I get sad. It's like seeing old friends move away. The retirement list for Stampin'Up! has been posted and if you would like to check it out, here it is by page number Retired List I am losing a few friends this time. Anyone care to take a guess as to how…
Today was a really long day with the boys…..then I got to play Jeanna for a while! I took the boys over to my friend Hilary's house so they could play with her two boys and I went to another friend's house for a card swap! How FUN! I loved being able to be myself…

Our friends at Earth911.com have done a great job of laying out the energy savings of recycling everything from aluminum to plastic wrap. When you…
Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. The usual "SPF 30 drill sgt." forgot to apply any to herself (me) and I now look like a lobster and feel horrible! Anyhow – spent the weekend with family time so no stamping. Now I'm getting ready to take the boys to Mt. Charleston for…
Here is the other Fresh Cuts card I mentioned this last weekend. It's much prettier in real life as it was a little difficult to photograph. I used the Poppin'Pastels technique on vellum! There was a lot of detail in the stamp, so it took a while. I used a soft paintbrush so as to…
I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy the company of my Aunt Cindy last weekend, and while she was here, not only did she help me out with my boys as I was still recovering – we were able to sneak in a little fun time as well. She has been making these…
