I found out that it is possuble to have half your face go numb from the dentisit (yes on purpose).

Chew on that until tomorrow ladies - my two year old is screaming about the dog...who is harmless...

Design D.I.V.A.S Challenge

We were to use a very unique technique (which if you know me I don't venture into the technique world much) with our cuttlebug and scrap paper. Instead of using scrap pieces, I used scrap punch pieces and this is how it turned out...I didn't trim the white completely perfect to give it the scrap feel instead of the background.

Not completely sure that I like my colors, but I guess I am just happy I tried a new technique!

Taylored Expressions Challenge

I am using this card I created for a challenge over at Caardvarks that is sponsored by Taylored Expressions.

Basically you needed to use a tree...unfortunately my camera decided to puke and I need to get it fixed pronto...I had to use an old camera and this was the result...yuck!

But the card is still cute!

50 Card Fronts X's 2!!

I signed up for a swap where you made card fronts for as many people that signed up. We were using brand new stamp sets from the Stampin Up! catty. I signed up from Thoughts & Prayers and when I finished I decided to do Congratulations from Sale-A-Bration.

I really like this first card using Groovy Guava from 07 In Colors...I like it both plain and with the DP (random brand from All That Scraps that was on sale). PLus I noticed you could turn it three different ways and it still looked neat!

Here is the second one using again 07 In Colors of Soft Sky and Blue Bayou. Needless to say these colors are no more in stock!

SU! Monthly Card Swap

This is a card from a monthly card swap I am in that uses nothing but Stampin Up! - so I used of course Fifth Avenue Floral Bravo Burgandy, Orchid Opulence, and Cameo Coral....not a combination that I would have typically chosen.

Monthly Card Kit Swap

These are the cards (some variations due to ribbon shortages!) from a kit I received in a monthly card kit swap I am in on SCS! Not a stamp I would normally used so I was forced to work outside the box! Nice change of pace!

These were extras I will use for a card flood swap.

Easter, Soldiers, & Fun-Frilled

So here is my Easter centerpiece that also doubled as goodies for the soldiers to take home with them. I cooked for a few soldiers that are going to be deploying in about a month...Nick would have been deploying as well if he had not changed units - thank God for that! I made them Easter goodies just as I did last year when they all came home...never forget to thank a soldier for what they do...Soldiers give you your freedom everyday, God gives you forgiveness for life.

These also double for a monthly challenge (such a multi-tasker aren't I?) on a thread for SCS for Procrastinators...we had to use hoarded items...that would be the bottles I have had since Christmas and the SU! paper since I don't know when!!!

Now....don't forget to check out Fun-Frilled this week as I am back in action on the design team after maternity leave and all (hee, hee) and please don't forget to take part in the AMAZING almost $300 worth of blog candy to win!!!

Card Kit Cards!

I am in a million card kit swaps and so I decided to spark my creativity with a few of the kits! Hope you like the outcome! I know one of the kits is from Susan Patten (spatton2001), but I can't remember the others!

Someone Cares - Church Ministry

My church has a ministry called "Someone Cares" in which they write letters to those in prison. I am not much at writing letters but have wanted to help out. I decided that with my new stamps from Our Daily Bread (who by the way has some amazing new stamps this month!) I could help out by making cards. I only did 13 for the women this Easter, but will be trying to make enough each month so a few people get cards as they write to around 60 folks in total. I made all of these from scraps I had handy!

DKOS #23 Cards!

We had to use something from the Manhatten Collection...here it is! I love this stamp set. I would have never bought it but my demo Manda Doorley (aka manda_dex on SCS) picked it out for me...I told her I needed a couple new sets and this is one of th eones she picked - great job Manda! ***Click her name to shop her website!

We had to use a Bella image and make it fun - hope this worked!!

I have been saying I would get these posted...and now they finally are - only becuase SCS is down and I can't spend my time there!!
