Sick....

Well, no card- creating for me until I feel better. I'm not sure what I have, but it sure is knocking me for a loop! I still manage to go to work, although I should stay home like the governor says, lol...my voice isn't the best tonight, so we'll see if I can even talk tomorrow! Take care all of you out there in blog-land! Until I post again~toodles!

Look Ma! I made a new card! LOL


A good friend and coworker's birthday is on Thursday, and it is tradition for me to make her a card. It's also tradition for DH and I to put her name on all the local radio stations...hehehe! Hey, last year it paid off...she won dinner for 2 at Hoss's! :) I enjoy her embarassment immensely! Ok, well onto the card...the yummy cupcake and sentiment are from Inkadinkado. I'm not very happy with how I colored the icing...or at least how it photographs! If you tilt the card toward the light, it is nice and shiny! For the "doily", I used the Martha Stewart 3-dot scallop punch set. Black ink is Stazon, lavender ink is Lavender Lace from SU! The 2 DP's are digital papers made by Tracey over at Fred, She Said. If you've never checked out her stuff, you really need to! She is an awesome artist! OK all, until I post again, toodles!

Some Dustin Pike cards...
















Still no "brand" new cards made, but I will show ya these Dustin Pike cards made within the past month or so. :)
The snowman one is my absolute favorite of them all...and I may just keep it for myself! I know I'm not the only one who feels that way about one's own cards from time to time! C'mon, you can admit it! LOL All of these images were Dustin's freebies that he gives out on a weekly basis. His latest one is a turkey...you have got to go and see it...it is so funny! Until I can post again...toodles!

Well, for lack of "brand" new cards to post, I will show you the cards I made for a recent Studio G challenge over on Paper Craft Planet. We were allowed to enter as many times as we wanted in the 2 week time limit. I didn't win this one, but I hope to win one someday! :) Thanks for looking and have a nice day, wherever you are! :)




Ok, I know this will only be my third post, and not too many people would be reading it, but I follow another blog that is having this AMAZING blog candy that the word just HAS to be spread about!!! It can be found here:

What generous loot that is! How very generous of Debbie to thank her readers in such a way!

No crafting tonight...

...sigh, as my space is all torn apart! DH wants to put blinds up at the windows behind my desk, so I had to clean it off (GASP!) so it could be more easily moved. I also had a shelf next to my desk that had stuff on that I needed to clear off so he could get to the windows easily. Now he's decided to make shelves on the wall as opposed to putting that self unit I had back in that spot. I'm not sure WHEN I will get back to crafting, but I hope it's soon! :)

Taking the plunge!

Well, I've FINALLY taken the plunge and started a blog! I've been debating about it for awhile now, wondering if I would be able to make that kind of commitment; but I figured since it's mine, I can post as often as I want to, or as little as I have time for! I'm not sure how this will all work out, but I'm hoping it will!
