January 31st Already?

Can you believe January is done today? This is craziness! Of course, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut-off (which I don't necessarily hate!), but in a good way!  I have had some card business come my way and I couldn't be happier!  I have also made a couple design teams which has been such a dream for me! Please keep an eye out all this week for the new things that are going on!  Please, if you haven't already, go HERE to visit the Stamping Dragons Blog Hop for their Grand Re-Opening!  It was such fun!

For today I am going to show you the get well card pack I put together for a friend...'tis the cold and flu season my friends! Please remember to sneeze into your elbow and always carry a tissue!

Taking It Back

This card is one of my first ever made.  It is back when Loads of Love was a new stamp set and the brilliant bright family was all I ever used.  Man have things changed!!  What was your favorite stamp set and colors to stamp with when you first started? My first party was in my one room apartment and we were stamping on my counter tops while standing, sitting on the floor with the coffee table....ahhh...good times!  Also know that I will be looking into a light tent as for some reason my picture taking ability has gone down hill??

Everything here is Stampin' Up!

Altered Item

SO I have been hoarding things that can potentially be altered. I opened up my closet and decided I should start doing and stop thinking!  Here ya go:

And it was done with all scraps!!

So Fun! Hambo Digis!

So I have been trying out my hand at design teams and in the process can I tell you I have been able to use some of the cutest digis to for them!!  Hambo Digis are too cute and that is what I have for you today!  I hope you love these cute animated designs as much as I do - and coloring them was so fun too!!!

This one has a chocolate bar inside to share for a thank you!

Boatloads of Love

Have you ever seen a stamp set in your closet that you were like "I HAVE to use this stamp set" - no rhyme or reason you just feel the need to use that stamp set?  This was one of those situations! Actually...I have a friend who wants this stamp set and since I don't really use it much I said she could use it for as long as she likes!  I just felt the need to ink it up one more time before it left my house!

Visitation Cards

First I am going to apologize as these pictures are not as clear as my normal....I know where not to take pictures now!  But any-hoo...

My pastor approached me needing some cards, but not regular cards as he would put it.  He wanted something that could be left at people's houses on visitation night if they were not home.  I forgot the phone number on the first 4 I made but thank goodness I had only made 4!  Pastor Josh told me to do whatever, but make sure it wasn't overly girly for the men out there.  I think that I did okay! I also made them as postcards to be able to do more with less in the paper department. The majority of them are the blue color as I think blue is a heavenly color.

The green I didn't love as much, but I still like it!  I now see that the paper wasn't exactly centered on this one also!!

Hee - Hee!

So today I was going to post another project when I realized - I need to make some more! I guess I need to make ahead so I can not have this happen again! HA!  I called myself a dork for this one!  Time to go do some blog visiting and play with my Ryley who is holding her feet rolling on her back from side to side.....looks like tickle time!  While I am at that - why don't you check out my family?

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge (Yes I know It Is Not Tuesday)

Here is a card I did for the "Tuesday Throwdown Challenge" and boy did this one throw me for a loop! I decided to use their stamped background challenge and make it more of a challenge than it needed to be. I stamped on Vellum....what a mess - you can see my little mistakes here and there...not thrilled, but it wasn't that bad. You should hop on over and check it out!

Two Challenges In One!

I love me some Riley Moose and thought I would pull him out for a challenge or two....the lucky part is I found two challenges with the same type of guidelines - BONUS!  This card works for the challenge over at Danielle's "A Cause For Cards" Blog - which is a great blog with a great cause - how can you not at least check it out?  All cards sent go to the organization so they can sell to raise funds!  The second challenge that this works for is one of 2 going on in relation to the TUIC group (I am hosting a challenge - please look at Monday's post!) over at "D-Dazzled Designs" blog.  Check them out and see what you think...great challenges!

Here is my question for you - how do you list your items used to give proper credit?
