Much Obliged!

:) I LOVE this stamp! Ok...today's Stamp Simply challenge (from the ever so talented Sharon Johnson) is, well, pretty simple. All you have to do this week is create a thank you card. I have this stamp that I have never used...the sentiment that is...and I love it! It's a riot! So for todays card I pulled out a little Cat's Pajamas.


Take a peek....




How funny is that! The cat image is one of my favs and I absolutely love the sentiment. Ok...I've said that about a dozen times in this very short post. ;)


Now head on over to the rest of Sharon's team....

I'm off to bed! It's been a long day of game playing with the boys! I seriously thought I would whip this card together really early today and instead we played all day long! ....not that I'm complaining! It's been so much fun!


Hope you are all having a wonderful New Years! :) I will post you soon! :)

Another Page Plans

Hello to you all! Sorry it's taken so long to post this today. We just got home a few minutes ago and things have finally settled down. What a crazy day!

I wanted to share another Page Plans card. I pulled out The Cat's Pajama's for this one again...sorry...I'm on a kick! Here it is...

This was such a fun sketch. I hope you all get to play. Be sure and link your cards if you do so that you can be entered in the drawing for the prize! I look forward to seeing all of your fabulous cards!

I'm off to get a little stamping done. I haven't done that all day and I didn't get much done last night either! ...I'm suffering withdrawals!

Hope you all have a wonderful night...or day...depending on where you are!

Take care! :)

Love Struck

...which is what I am currently with this stamp! How cute are these little robots! Ok...so living in a house with three little boys and one big little boy ;)...it's always nice to find some really cute 'masculine' stamps. Love these robots! They are perfect for little boys....big or little....

Oh...guess I should show you the card...wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Ok...first...it's time for Beate's Inspiration Challenge #14! Wooooohooooo! Now, I know I always say this...and I mean it evertime I say it....but I LOVED the inspiration piece this week!

Here it is...

I love the colors in this! They are so bright and sunny. You know...I wish I had this whole place setting for my own table!

Ok...so on to the card...Here's my take on the inspiration piece...

...how cute are those little robots! They're adorable! Well this was a super fun piece. I had a ton a fun with it!

Be sure and check out the rest of the Inspiration team for some really fantabulous projects...Charmaine Ikach, Danielle Lounds, Dawn McVey, Silke Ledlow, and Susan Roberts.

Hope you are all having a wonderful morning! I will post you all soon!

The Queen of Everything

Yeah...I wish that was me! As I write this, I've been up since 4AM with the baby, scrubbed some yucky cereal up off of the floor and feed everyone breakfast...that is not the life of a self respecting queen! ;) ...Of course, I really wouldn't change it for anything!...but it would be nice to be able to hire someone to clean the yucky cereal and fix the breakfast! ;)


I got this new stamp from the Cat's Pajama's the other day and couldn't wait to use it! Lucky for me I had this fantastic sketch from Chris Ross for this weeks Page Plans sketch....

Now on to the card. I have to share a bit with you first. I am a paper junkie. By that I mean I have a really hard time passing it up. Whether I am stocking up on all of the new designer packages from Stampin' Up! or buying it by the sheet at my LSS...I just can't walk away. It's really not a problem except that I really don't sit down and make multiple cards. If you get one of my cards in the mail...except for Christmas or swap cards...you can bet that's the only one I've made. Are you getting where I am going with this? I have soooo much decorative paper that I use once and the rest of the 12X12 sheet just sits in a paper tray on my desk or in my paper storage keepers. Well, needless to say these are both overflowing!

This week I decided to just keep on using it. It's a first! I do it all the time with my SU paper but I have an entire package of that when I am using it. Same thing with my PTI paper. But when I buy a sheet from my LSS I don't want to not have it anymore...the collector in me strikes again! While cleaning out my stamping space the other day I came across lots of paper that I really don't like anymore at all! Why? Because it's so old and I didn't want to use it up so I still have it! That's a problem! So todays card is using the same paper I used for Sharon's challenge Friday.

Ok...I love this paper...I only had one sheet...there's not enough left to save...I might cry!...but I love both the cards I made with it. I'm happy with that. Sorry...rambling through my breakfast shake!

I'm off...I just checked the time. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! It is looking like it will be another beautiful day here...of course this is Indiana...you never know what's in store at this time of year!

Post you all soon! :)

Beate's WSC #48

I'm happy to say that my sons team won! Woohooo! He gets so excited! He's very cute because after the first time his team lost he was a bit bummed. We had quite the long discussion of just exactly what this is about. You know the drill...it's not about winning...it's about how you play the game....the biggest reason we play is that we love the game and we have a great time...that kind of thing. Now that's what he talks about more than anything else....but he does get excited when they win! Especially when he has a great play. He did really well tonight which was fun to see! He did strike out once but he kept his chin up and rooted for the rest of the guys. What fun it was!

So we're home and I was able to finish up my card for Beate's WSC #48. Ok...my card is pretty simple. I relied mainly on the decorative paper...which is one of my favorite things ever! I also sewed on the card...another one of my favorite things! ...and I used my copics!...a HUGE fav of mine! I'm really loving them! Wishing I had a few more.......in time! ;)

So here's my card...

Well that's it for me tonight. I have my project to get ready for our Monday night class. It's 3-D but I am not reinventing the wheel for this one. I remember seeing some sort of candy holder somewhere...problem is I can't for the life of me remember where that was! I am going to try and create something similar from memory...who knows how that will go! I will post it for you guys Monday. I will also have another Page Plans sketch card to share for you tomorrow. I really love having new stuff to share!

I hope that you all have had a wonderful day! It's been a busy but fun one here....and I am happy to report that I am now off to bed...well, once I have a chance to catch up on some of my computer stuff.

I will post you all tomorrow! Have a wonderful night!...or day!...depending on where you are! :)
