This is a card set I made for a friend's birthday. I saw a few samples on SCS that had each card done in one color so I had to try it. This is what I came up with. Each one has a different sentiment inside. As for the tin, I had way too many hodgepodge hardware tins left over so I finally altered one. On the advice of Shannon & Ellen. lol Still not loving the color for everything but it worked for this. Who uses Tempting Turquoise on a regular basis? Definitely not me! But, i did just get an email from Wendy and she loved it! And of course that makes me happy! Have a great week! Thanks for looking! And hopefully commenting too! I love to hear what you think!

Here's a birthday card I made for one of my husband's friends. There's a Starbucks gift card inside. Sorry the pics so blurry. I guess I was trying to do it too quick!

Here's the other card for my SCS Swap! Whew! I'm thinking I'm done with swaps for a few! lol

These cute little M&M holders are for a SCS swap!

Okay, so I said I wasn't going to buy the SU top Note die because I had the new Nesties. Well, I caved! And, it was so worth it!! I created this leprechaun using MkMiracleMakers' cards for inspiration http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1114518. I can't wait to make something else, maybe a bunny for easter! But, first I need to make 6 more to finish my swap! Thanks so much for looking!

I just found out one of my friend's is Prego!!! Yeah! I got to use my Craveabella! I used this card http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1189053 for inspiration! TFL!!

I made this for my swap hostess gift on SCS. It's a St. Paddy's Swap so I found an Irish toast!

Trey had his first trip to the dentist this morning! He was AWESOME!!!! He didn't move an inch and we were out of there in no time! Prizes in hand!!

So, I have to say I'm very loyal to my Bellas and do not normally like any of the other women. However, I could not pass up on Pin Up Hanna. I made this for the Hanna Challenge on SCS and gave it to my hubby! He thought it was hilarious! I used Crystal Effects on the lingerie and heels to give it the look of patent leather and added a little body glitter! TFL!

1 down 3 more to go! Thanks so much to Cat on SCS http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=302295 for teh calendar template!!!! I just got my new Nesties in the mail today! Loving, LOVING, LOVING these rectangles!! They're huge! I finally have something to cut out big pics so cute!!!

So, I decided to challenge myself for sister-in-law's birthday present and try a few new things. So, here ya go!

So, now that you've seen everything. Don't you love the awesome paper?!? $1.99 at Archiver's for a whole 8x8 pack with border strips, alphabets, flowers and a ton of dp. Rockin!! Hurry quick, get yours quick before it's gone. Unless you're in GA because I need to make a run for some more. JK Have a great week! Thanks for looking! Oh, and if you don't stop back by before New Year's - Have a great night and be safe!! Happy New Year! What's your resolution going to be? To make sure you create lots of great things with some great new stamps!!!! LOL

Yeah! 3 for 3! These were a lot of fun to make! Now, on to cleaning and if I have time 2 more group projects!?!?! Oh, crap and Christmas cards. Well, I guess now they'll be New Year cards! We all need to protest and get more hours in a day! Just around Christmas! Well, maybe not because those days that you want to beat your head might be worse off!

Tag 2

I made these for our parents for Christmas! 2 down, 1 more to go!

So, Trey's in charge of snack tomorrow and the theme is Baby Jesus. Yes, he's at a church preschool. He's been talking about these Baby Jesus snacks I made last year but I don't remember exactly what I did. Something with candy. I wanted to do them different this time with less sugar. Did you see the pic? Not even close to less sugar, try quadruple! In my head they turned out a lot smaller. Good thing tomorrow's Friday because those kids are going to be OUT OF CONTROL on sugar!! Whoops!

I needed something to hold my suggestion cards for Tastefully Simple Open Houses! I looked everywhere and was way too cheap to pay $2 a piece, so I came across these in the Oriental Trading Craft catalog! They were natural wood and I painted them and covered them with paper. I also bit the bullet and decided to use my Flower Fusion. They worked great and everyone thought I spent lots of money on them!

Look at all my goodies! This was my last package from my great Bella Sistah, Cheri! My Favorite Things, Stamping Bella, Sarah Kay, and Whiff of Joy are just some of the stamps I got. An awesome embellishment organizer, flowers, buttons, stickers, ribbon, designer papers, handmade cards and so much more!!!! Thanks so much! I can't wait to use everything!

This is what I made for our Thanksgiving table. I took the glass plate wall decoration idea and made place settings. I used the repositionable tape on the placemat then put the plate on top. It worked out pretty good and they didn't even get messy! So I can use them again next year! And yes, those are huge plates! I was tired of not having enough room for all my food on a plate so I decided to use 13 inch platters! Trey was excited his food don't touch!

I made this for the SCS swap, Night at the Movies! My inspiration was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! Yeah, I'm a sucker for cheesy chic flics!!! To say the least! I'm also using this as my entry for the Fall Bella Bash! I'm totally thankful for Beatrice Bellbottoms! As Em would say, she's yummalicious!!!!

These are the treats we're giving to Trey's friends at school. Yes, they're empty. I ran out of peanut butter and too lazy to go to the store right now. So, I guss I'm going to have to do the unthinkable and give store bought cookies. Aaaaaahhhhhh! You have no idea how much it pains me to say that! But, I didn't get to bed until 4 am last night and it's already pushing 3 am tonight. That's pretty much my only option. Ooh, I almost forgot I need to make Mac N Chz for school tomorrow. Okay, enough rambling. I'm more tired than I thought. Have a great weekend everyone! Don't go too crazy getting ready for next week!

Ms. Lisa's birthday is over break, so we're bringing this in tomorrow! More bath salts!
