Finally! My TCP Tuesday card :)

Yeah! Here's my card for this week's TCP Tuesday sketch challenge :) Do these stamps look new?? Well, that's because they're from one of the new releases from TCP coming next Friday, November 7th. During the next week, stay tuned here and at the blogs of the other DT members (see sidebar on the left) for some more peeks at the new stamps! Yahoo!

For my card I used the new holiday line of paper from Basic Grey - it's called "Wassail". I just looooove their paper...it makes coordinating colors and patterns so much easier!

I'm heading out now to take Nattie to her piano lesson. Have a great evening and I'll be back tomorrow with photos of the kiddos in their Halloween costumes :)

TCP Tuesday - Sketch Challenge

It's TCP Tuesday (TCPTUES31) and this week Leigh is hosting a terrific sketch challenge and all the details for playing along are on her blog. The card is 4.5" x 7", and look at all those layers! There's lots of potential with this one :) I will be playing along, but my card will probably be posted tomorrow - apologies for being a little late this week, but my math class is taking its toll. Let's just say that algebra and I are not best buddies right now :)

12

Here's a photo I took of Nattie at the weekend...she looks so grown-up! I still can't believe she's 12 - I want time to slow down...

Who's That Girl? Challenge

This is my card for this week's "Who's That Girl?" challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. Sorry for the quality of the photo; it was taken at the end of the day yesterday and the light was not the best quality. Anyway, I decided to give our girl some mittens and socks for the fall card :) The MFT set I used for this one is called "Falling For You"...isn't it cute?

Just a quick post this morning as I head out to work. Have a great day!!

Happy Sunday!

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a great weekend. The girls loved "High School Musical 3" yesterday; they were very excited when I picked them up. After that we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner, and they all slept over here. We had the usual late-night giggling and early-morning wakeups, so there will be some tired girls later today! LOL! I made them cinnamon muffins for breakfast and the girls are being picked up in the next hour or so.

Today's card is made with one of the newer images from Penny Black. The patterned paper is from Stampin' Up. The giraffe reminds me of the one on the movie "Madagascar"...Jamie is looking forward to "Madagascar 2" being released next month!

This afternoon I have some TCP DT work to finish (yeah!), and a whole bunch of algebra (blech!). I wonder which I should do first....

Christmas Owls :)

Owls are very popular right now, and MFT has come out with a terrific owl image by Stephanie Fizer. For this one I used some of the new paper by My Mind's Eye (it has lots of glitter!), some ribbon and of course the Christmas Owls image from MFT, which I colored with my Copics. I also added some Crystal Stickles to the hats for more sparkle :)

Have a fantastic Saturday! I'm off to get ready to take Nattie and her friends to the movies!

Warm Wishes :)

This is an appropriate card to post for today - it is cold here this morning! The snow from the other day is half gone, but we have some nice chunks of ice left on our driveway :)
Today's card is made with another of the Stephanie Fizer images from My Favorite Things. How sweet are these three snowmen?? The patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye and I colored the snowmen with my Copics.

Iain's in Phoenix for the day again today, so it's just the kiddos and I at home. I have some DT projects to work on for The Cat's Pajamas (yep! another release coming soon!) and I also need to clean up my craft room...it's pretty bad up there! LOL! Have a fabulous Friday!

Fun day!

Today was a great day! The kids and I have today and tomorrow off school, and Iain was home so I went to Denver and met Sue and Linda for lunch! Linda came up from Colorado Springs so that Sue and I could meet her for the first time after meeting through blogging/emailing/stamping :) Karrie, we were wishing you were there with us!



We had lunch at a Chinese restaurant and then Sue had to be back at work for a meeting, but Linda and I had time to shop a little. We went to the Container Store and picked up a few nick-nacks that you might see on my blog in the coming weeks. Next we made a quick stop at Office Max for some school supplies for me, and finally we went by Scrapbook Destination and found some fun goodies to bring home! It was great to meet Linda at last; she is a terrific lady!

Thanks, ladies!! Next time we get together we should definitely STAMP!

Peppermint Cats :)

Here's another card made with a new stamp set from My Favorite Things. This one is called "Peppermint Cats" and the image was designed by Stephanie Fizer. You can check out Stephanie's stamps right here. My card is 5.5" square and the patterned paper is another new set from Basic Grey :) called "Ambrosia". I really like this method of using non-traditional holiday colors on a holiday card! It's fun!

Rosemary card

Hi! Happy Wednesday! We woke up to 4" of snow this morning - our first significant snowfall of the season! Tasha was thrilled to go outside and eat a bunch of the stuff :)

Today's card is made with a "Rosemary" image by Annie LaPoint for MFT Presents. I also used patterned paper from Rusty Pickle's "Lucky" collection and added some sparkle with Stickles glitter glue (Eucalyptus).

Heading out early to school...weather like this calls for super-slow driving (or "granny" driving as my husband calls it!). Have a terrific day!
