Ok I hope that everyone had a great and Merry Christmas. We had a great one here. I am a little sad that it is all over now. Most years I feel relieved but this year I was sad to see it go. This is the last card that I will be posting from the boutique, it is done with one of my favorite stamp sets. The ballet one that retired a couple of years ago. I used versamark and chalk for both images, sorry you can't really tell with the plastic bag on it. I am actually feeling like I really want to get stamping again. Unfortunately the basement is such a mess right now with christmas that I probably won't be able to stamp for weeks. At least it feels that way. We got a Wii for christmas and Craig and the kids have been trying to burn it out ever since we got it. They started playing guitar hero on it today. I have to say they are fun to watch but myself I really don't enjoy playing the game. Well I hope that everything is going good for everyone and have a great New year. I will try and get something done and posted within the next couple of days. I am also going to update the kids blog.

One more card this is a favorite I really like brown and pink and of course the tag cards again. Have a quick joke my sister told me that I thought was funny.
I was going to send you something sexy for christmas......but the mailman told me to take the stamp off my butt and get out of the mailbox. Merry Christmas.
Thanks for looking.

Ok so it has been more than a week since I posted again. I've decided I am a bad blogger. Oh well add it to the list of all the other things that I don't do as well as I should. Ha ha. The kids finally went back to school today from uea break yeah. We didn't end up going anywhere fun we just stayed home and drove each other crazy. That can be just as fun though right. This is the only card that I have made so far with my very favorite stamp set out of the new catalog. And I can't believe that it took me this long to make one. I absolutely love the set but really struggle with ideas for it. I am not really even all that sure how much I like this card but Craig says that it is cute. So I am taking his word for it. You can't see in the picture but I did use dazzling diamonds in the eyes. My next big project will be to update the kids blog they have been bugging me to load a new picture on there for them. We have been fairly boring though lately and don't really have a lot to add. Craig and I are going to try and make it to Forks, Wa for a couple of days before the end of the year. I would like to see it after Jenn went and talked so highly of it. We are also going to try and find someone to dump he kids on for a couple of days so that we can make a quick trip to disneyland without them as well. Last time I went with the kids to Disneyland in March I threatened them that if they didn't quit fighting and get along I wouldn't renew their annual passes. And for once I stuck to my threat I guess that maybe it was kind of a mean thing to do but now that they don't have them I don't have to take them right. HEHEHE. We will renew them next year when renewing ours. They did get to go 11 and 12 times last year and Craig only went two times. Of course I went every time that anyone went I guess it really pays to be the mom sometimes. Anyway just don't want anyone thinking that Zach and Jacob are at all neglected I think they are actually quite spoiled. Well enough blah blah blah from me. Hope everyone is doing well. And thanks for looking at the card upload I will try to post the other two cards from stamp club as well. Forgot that I haven't added them yet.

ok if anyone is out there this is a sneak peak of one of the projects for club tonight. Isn't he cute. Jacob is upset that he isn't a penguin. I told him that when we start eating penguins for thanksgiving I will make a penguin. Just kidding, I didn't really say that to him. Hope to see you at club tonight and those of you with kids of for UEA Good Luck. I know I am going to need it.

- Just a quick post, I found these cute bookmarks online. I saw them on splitcoast. Aren't they cute. The actual bookmark comes out of the sleeve and is on a popsicle stick I put the same flower on the other side and used the slit punch to slip the popsicle stick down inside the sleeve. I thought that these were so cute. Thinking of making a bunch of them for Halloween for the kids school classes, I'll see if I really feel that ambitious next time I am downstairs to stamp. I just finished 25 of the frankenstein cards for Craig to mail out to Halloween clients. They turned out cute but I did get tired of punching everything out. I decided it is easier to stamp in large amounts then make a bunch of punches for cards. Hope all is well for everyone and thanks for looking.

I made packages of cards for my dad for his work. And these are the finished product. I have been busy trying to get these done and I made sure that I made plenty of each so that I actually have some left over cards for myself now. I always like the way that they look when they are all put together with toppers on them. I did get a a kind of cool embossing thing in Florida that is Disney so I will play with it in the next couple of days and load some pictures. Thanks for looking.

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days I have meant to but haven't. I can't believe that the summer is almost over less than a month and the kids go back to school yeah. Craig is getting ready to go out of town, he will be leaving on Wed. for the rest of the month. It will be hard the boys miss him and this always makes Aug a long month. But in two weeks we will be going to Florida to play at the water parks. We can hardly wait. The kids want to leave tomorrow but we are hoping it will be less crowded by the end of the month since the kids in Florida go back to school the middle of the month. My mom and a friend came over on Tuesday to stamp and I stamped a couple of new cards here is one of them. Those of you who don't know we are huge disney fans or freaks (however you want to look at it) in our house. I haven't made any disney cards in awhile and wanted to I used some classic pooh stickers that I had and stuck them to white cardstock and then punched out around them. I think that it turned out kind of cute, but Craig just grunted when I showed it to him, oh well I guess that we can't all be interested in cards. Thanks for looking.
Recipe:
Paper: bashful blue, old olive, certainly celery, whisper white and cutie pie
Stamps: wonderful words
Other: scallop punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, bashful blue striped grosgrain ribbon, brilliant blue ink, brads, paper clip, staples and pop dots

My husband says I need a picture box, and I promise to get one but in the mean time this is my pictures. Papers that I used are More mustard, Elegant eggplant and Old olive. The Old olive paper has been split and crumpled and then I stamped on the textured side. Elegant eggplant ink. Olive felt flower, mustard ribbon, flower from pretties kit died eggplant and Antique brass hodgepodge hardware. Oh I almost forgot the spiral punch, one of my favorites. This one is with my favorite cat set again it is retired but still good. Funny I can't stand cats but love this set.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my boys. I think it shows a little of their true personalities. We spent two weeks in Disneyworld with the whole family in Dec 2008. It was a great trip and we had so much fun. We are very greatful for the fun times and opportunity. And I am greatful for all of the photos to help preserve the memories.
