My Perfect 10

Happy New Year's Eve!

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!! 2008 sure went by fast! I hope your 2009 is filled with good health, lots of love, and happiness! If you are going out to celebrate tonight be safe on the roads. I have two daughters out tonight so I know I will be worried until I know they are both in bed safe and sound. But I guess it's not much fun staying in watching the ball drop with your parents anymore. *wink* This is a quick card I made today after Toby and I did a little shopping this... Read more →

Wishing You Happy Holidays!

I hope you have been enjoying the holidays with your loved ones! I know I have been enjoying this time with my family so the blog has been a little quiet. I hope you don't mind ~ I'll be back to posting soon! It's not often Leon has time off from work so we have been spending a lot of time just being home together. I do have a little something to share with you today. One of the things I miss with the kids growing up was the cute little traditions you do this time of year, so I... Read more →

Are You Ready...

I can't believe there is only 3 days left until Christmas! I still have so much left to do! But this doesn't surprise me I always seem to work better under pressure ~ or at least that is what I tell Leon. This is going to be an extra special Christmas this year. We have Gavin celebrating his first Christmas and the holidays are always so special through the eyes of a child. My children are almost grown so it will be nice to see that magic again. I wanted to make a special card for my sister since this... Read more →

Sweet Holiday Wishes

Today is my last day of work for the winter break and I am really looking forward to the time off. I wanted to bring a little treat to a few of my co-workers today, something that was cute but quick to make up last minute. *wink* Seems to be my theme this season. What is better this time of year then candy canes? Well candy canes in a cute holder of course! These were so quick to put together and I think they came out adorable. I used the Curved Rectangle Megabilities Die for the base and stamped the... Read more →

Another Graduation!

This Friday my youngest sister Stephanie will be graduating with her degree in Radiology. I wanted to make her a special card since she also worked VERY hard to earn her degree having my adorable nephew Gavin right in the middle of her schooling. One thing there is a shortage of in the stamping world is stamps of X-Rays, so I did the next best thing! I came up with my own! Let me know how I did. I took Booboobella and added the graduation cap off Diplomabella.Then I hide the thermometer in her hand with the chest x-ray I... Read more →

Reach for the Stars

Another thing I did on Saturday was watch my sister Jessica graduate from Barry University with her Masters in Social Work. I wanted to make a special card for the occasion something more then just a graduation card. This is what I came up with. I found these great stamps at Susana's and I just love them, I know I'll be back to order more. I printed the "Reach For The Stars "sentiment in LD Playful font and cut it out with the Nestabilities Tag Dies. For a neat layered effect I stamped her wings a second time on vellum... Read more →

13th Birthday Wishes

This was a jam packed weekend and as we get closer to Christmas it is only getting busier. Saturday was the busiest day but fun. Jessica my youngest had a blast celebrating her Best Friend's 13th Birthday. They had a full blow out dance party! So I figured iPodabella would make a fitting birthday card and her favorite colors ~ you guessed it, purple and black! Of course I had to add a little Star Dust Stickles to the fur on Bella's jacket for some extra bling! Happy Birthday To You Recipe... Cardstock: Bazzill Pattern Paper: A Muse ~ Purple... Read more →

Santa Came Early!

Leon and I got up and went out for breakfast like we usually do on Sunday and out of nowhere he says, "I've decided I'm giving you your Christmas present early!" Now this is after we talked about NOT exchanging gifts this year so you could say I was in shock by this statement. We had a few errands to run so Leon had fun teasing me until we got to Best Buy. I figured it was just another stop ~ we usually go there and Target on Sunday...Leon likes to look at the jumbo flat screens and drool. :)... Read more →

Christmas Cards are DONE!

I was set on getting my Christmas cards done this weekend and for the most part they were. I just had to wait for the Stickles to dry. I finished up the assembly tonight when I got home from work. I think this is the earliest I have been done in a long time! Now to get to the post office. I can not take complete credit for this card design this year. It all started a few months ago with guest designer Krystie on the A Muse News blog when she made this card. (Scroll down to the bottom)... Read more →
