Blogger's Challenge 55


I have been very bad and have not participated in the Blogger's Challenge in the last few weeks. Life got hectic and I got so tired that all i really wanted to do is just veg out in front of the tv. LOL! But i missed being creative so i finally was able to make a card. For this week's blogger's challenge we had to create something using bugs and insects. Well at first i thought i did not have any stamps with bugs and insects and i remembered that i had the whimsical set but then i remembered that my Very Punny set had a ladybug and since i have not inked this set i would use it. It is a very simple card and sometimes i like cards that take about 15 minutes to put together. I thought of this layout at work so all i had to do was just come home and make the layout into a real card. I think i might need to do this more often. The next few weeks is going to be a little crazy since i have to pack and get ready to move into my two bedroom apartment which means ... I AM GOING TO HAVE A CRAFT ROOM ... and can you tell that i am so excited!!! I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

My first digital scrapbook page!

Hi everyone!!!! So today i did my very first digital scrapbook page. I have really slacked in the scrapbooking department and i wanted to get back into it. At first i was a little hesitant about digital scrapbooking and then i realized i spend the majority of the time on a computer so i might as well try out this digital scrapbooking. So i bought a program from Creative Memories a few months ago and I have FINALLY finished a page. I found some free fonts and a website that has a few free digital packs and viola! The great thing about digital is that you can use the paper and embelishments over and over again, if you make a mistake ... just start over and the only mess you'll make is leaving your laptop/computer out. The only downfall is ... the cost to print. It can cost anywhere from $4.99 to $7.99 per page. But if digital scrapbooking will get me to scrapbook more then the price is worth it :c) So now i am going to close and start on a new page!!! My goal is to do 1-2 pages a week ... gotta start slow! I hope you all have a week!!!

Dogs are just like children ...

So i am sitting on the couch one day and Snowflake is really quiet ... so i look over the couch and see that Snowflake is chewing on something. What is she chewing on you may ask ... EYELINER!!! So i grab it from her and this is what i see ...



So then yesterday after taking Snowflake out in the morning i let her go ahead and roam around and well she is awfully quiet AGAIN and i thought to myself i really should check on her. Of couse sleep won and when i woke back up and walked into the living room i saw the damage. On the floor was my blush with NOTHING left. She ATE my blush and so i have rose colored spots on my carpet and a dog with pink paws. I really can't wait until she gets out of the puppy stage and to think i want to get another puppy. I might have to consider that some more. LOL!


So now onto my card. I know today is Friday, which means blogger's challenge but i still have not made my manly card. Hopefully i wil will be able to work on that this weekend. But for today i am going to post my birthday invitations. The invitation is something simple and is a pocket card. I've always wanted to do a pocket. I didn't show the pull out since it has all my birthday information. I will have to come back to list the "ingredients" since I have to leave in a few. I hope you all have a great day!!!

For my daddy ....


Well tonight i was inspired to make a card and so i figured i would take advantage of this and make my father's day card especially since i thought i had TWO more weeks before Father's Day. I bought the father stamp a couple of months ago at Hobby Lobby. And don't you just love the pattern paper ... it reminds me so much of a pattern on a sweater a father would own. LOL! This was the first card that I got to make in my new armoire. My dad bought me one for my birthday so that I can have a nice area to stamp in and the most awesome thing about my armoire is all i have to do is just close the doors to hide the mess ... i don't have to pick up if i don't want to ... YES!!! LOL! I will post pics once i get everything organized. Now i just need to get inspired to finish my birthday invitations ... it's only three weeks away. YIKES!!! I hope you all have a great evening and a wonderful week!

Blogger's Challenge 50


Hey everyone! Yes i am still breathing. It's been about two weeks since I have done a blogger's challenge. It's been a busy two weeks but this week i was able to squeeze in about 15 minutes to make my card for this week. I finished the card on time but I am posting a little late .... again another busy week. LOL! For this blogger's challenge we had to use just black and white. I love black and white because there is something elegant and sophisticated about this color combination ... even in b&w photos. Love em! So I decided to ink up my SU! She's all that stamp set since i thought it would be perfect. For the background i used the doodle that stamp set. Just like a few others i wanted to add a splash of color ... especially behind the girl but i wanted to stick to the rules so I didn't. I have a friend who's birthday is tomorrow so this is the card i am going to send. Gotta go now ... have to start cleaning the house and I have to meet up with a friend for lunch. I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing weekend :c)

Bloggers Challenge #47


Dude! That is so cool!!! So for our bloggers challenge we had to use the For Father dog layout on page 21 in SU! Mini Catalog. I actually love this layout and love my card. I used SU! So Cool stamp set ... it is so early in the morning that i can't even remember the colors that I used on my card. LOL! Guess my brain is fried from all the reading i did yesterday. The arrow is a chipboard that I just modge podge some paper on and I also put some crystal effects on the word dude. But I really do have to cut this post short since I have to leave to go pick up a friend to bring to work and then head out to take my test. I hope you all have a fantastic friday and I can't wait to get back and see what everyone has done! TTFN!
