Another Valentine Card

Just thought  I would post a one of my cards I made while I was snowed in I did not get many done but I got a few. I used the cuttlebug folder for the background embossing and mini monograms for the scalloped circle and the little heart was used from Sweethearts cartridge the border scallop was from Stampin Up one of the new punches. I love it its pretty, and the stamp is a Studio G stamp. I got to go and get ready for bed its late and I am going to attempt to go to work 

Have a good evening and thanks for looking

Snowed In

Well we got snow here in Tennessee, I have been home since Friday, I got up went to work the weatherman said the snow would not be here until after 12pm on Friday well the snow arrived early that morning I was leaving work by @ 9:30 am.  I have been in the house since Friday that is ok I had pick up the house and wash clothes  I was able to go to my craft room Saturday and was down there all afternoon and nite straightning up and organizing.  I am going to have move my treadmill out so i can have more room.  But I was able to finish a plastic container I decorated to give to my husband for Valentines Day, I will fill it with some of his goodies he like to snack on.  I was able to decorate 3 valentine cards I will post those shortly. Its Sunday afternoon and I will be going to my craft room to see if can do some more and take advantage of being in house.  May not be going to work tomorrow will have to see,

have a good afternoon

Decorated Expression

I have finally got my Expression back, It had froze up when I had downloaded update Provo Craft put out on Christmas Eve, then after that my Gypsy was not working either. I was sad because I was not able to play with my Cricut  toys. My Gypsy I had bought when HSN had the big release I had not had it long when it got sick. When I called Provo Craft they had sent me a Expression that did not work I had to resend that one back and the next one did not work either so I had to send it back and finally the 3rd one was a charm and it worked.  I had to send my Gypsy back,  and was sent  another gypsy well the one they sent me did not work  the usb was not recognized, I had uploaded the software  and it  could not recognize the usb. I tried to connect to different computers in the house with no luck of the usb being recognized, I tried everythng with no luck of it being recognized. I am waiting for my Gypsy to return to me I hope they transfer all my cartridges I had on my Gypsy to the new one. I hope everything goes smoothly when it is returned and all will be well in my scrapbooking toys.  Did not mean to make this a long post. But I have wanted to decorate my Expression now that I have it back I have decorated it.  I am happy with the way it came out.
Thanks for looking and have a good evening.

Thanks for looking.

What a wonderful Day

I am in Texas, visiting my son who is on leave from Iraq, we went shopping in Austin, before leaving the hotel was trying to find directions to a scrapbook store, I Google Archievers found one in Austin but was not sure if it was going to be close to the Lakeline mall. Off we went to the mall, after leaving there headed over to Best buys and low and behold across the parking lot was the Archievers scrapbook store. My eyes were big like saucers.  I was in so excited I was like a kid in the candy store. I could have shopped till I dropped, I wish Nashville would get a Archievers the closest to us is in Memphis.

I just thought I would stock up on paper and embellishments.  I could have stayed in the store for hours. I walked out spending under a $100.00. 

Happy Friday

The past week has been busy for me, my son was given a vacation from Iraq and we drove down to TX to see him, so my husband drove all night.  It has been 2 years since Michael has seen his brother, we will all be together as a family.  Maybe I can finally get a family photo of all of us.  I was trying to post a scrap project I had done but was not able too. I made this gift box, I saw it on youtube on Stamping with dawn. She made it look so I easy so I decided I would try it.  Here is what I did.  Thanks for looking. Happy Friday

Baby Shower Thank You Notes

Some of the baby shower cards I made

My neice had was having a baby shower back in 2008she asked me to make Thank You notes for her. She likes the Precious Moments theme and she also like monkies. I told her I would make them for her. I had to make 40 cards. That was alot of work, but I enjoyed making them and it challenged me to come up with different cards.  I have posted a few of them. I  loved they way some of the cards turned out.  I loved making them for her. I hated to let them go.

Valentine Bag

Hello everyone how is everyone this evening,

 I thought I would post some Valentine bags I made for my co-worker, I used the Tags & Bags and More cricut cartridge, and a sizzix heart cut out and I cant rememer what cartridge I used for the butterflies. I stamped them with stamps from Close to My Heart. I filled them with Valentine candy.  They were just the right size to hand out with Valentine goodies.

Thanks for looking have a good evening

Valentine Cards

Hello,

Since Valentines is next month I thought I would post a Valentine project. I made these Valentine cards for my daughter about 3 years ago. I thought it would be different to have handmade Valentine cards instead of store bought.  I used stamps from Close To My Heart and decorative scissors.  She said the girls in her class thought they were neat.
