Today I made my first shaker card! It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The nice thing is now that Stampin' Up! is die-cutting their new stamp sets I have the perfect frame already made for these cards. Here is my card:Supplies: Deer Friends Stamp Set (hostess) Hugs & Wishes Stamp Set, Shimmery White, Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy Card Stock, Not Quite Navy Classic Ink, White

OK, I have been a bad little blogger. I could go into all the excuses why I haven't kept my site updated, but they would really just be excuses!We have officially started finishing our basement! The plumbers were here last week and now we just need the inspector to come out and look at the job they did. I can't wait until the basement is finished! That means that my son will move downstairs

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days, I have been preparing for my Virtual Stamp Night Hostess debut! My challenge was posted last night. There is no time limit on the creation and you have until March 15 to play. Find out all about VSN here.So my challenge was to make a card using the Faux Silk Technique. Basically what you do for this technique is stamp your image on tissue paper, crumple it up

I really don't like giving my husband cards that I make. Not because I don't want to give him the card, but I kidda feel like it is a waste of an envelope. The card sometimes will sit in it for about 5 minutes before he opens it. Well, life must go on...The other day I was trying to clean up a pile of papers (we all have those piles sitting somewhere in our house) and I came across the envelope I

And you know what that means! Yeap, half way through the work week.It's been almost 2 weeks since I have posted! What am I thinking? Oh yeah, I am getting ready for the next VSN at SCS! There is a Mini coming up on March 8 and then the big event on April 4th and 5th.Now you may ask yourself why I am getting ready for an event that is so far off in the future? That is because I have been selected

Boy, did I get a good surprise this afternoon when I got home from work! Let me start the story from the beginning so you can fully appreciate it.Last night, when I was getting ready to go to bed I noticed a small bud vase on the table by the door (already filled with water) I picked it up and walked over to my husband and said "what is this for?" He just smiled told me I would find out. Well,

OK, I LOVE challenges! I love being given a little nugget of information and then allowed to do with it what I please. In January I particiapted in a VSN (Virtual Stamp Night) on SCS. Challenges are posted every hour, on the hour. You have 45 minutes to complete your project and then 15 minutes to clean up and up load your project. It is so much fun! The next one will be April 4th and 5th. There

Well, I would have some projects to post, but I am having the darnest time photographing them! I even bought a fancy clip lamp, but it really isn't producing the right light. I am going to try to put a florescent bulb in it later and see if that helps.If all else fails I can wait until tomorrow afternoon when I am home during the daylight hours and use the light of the window. It is really just a
