Giving A Little Thanks

Greetings! Today I have some more cards to show you. I recently purchased some new stamps that have floral images. On these cards I used my Penny Black Clusters image. I love having a large image to work with that has a great deal of versatility. Papers used are from the Penny Lane line from My Mind's Eye and Basic Grey. For the sentiments, I used the Thanks A Lot set from Hero Arts. For a finishing touch, I added some clear globe gems form Hero Arts. TA-DA! Do you notice any difference in my photo quality? Hope you enjoy!

OK No Boat For Me...

Now, by now you should know that I LOVE The New Kids on the Block. This spring you can go on cruise with them to the Bahamas and well I AM NOT GOING..and I guess that is OK. NO MOOLA FOR THE CHICA! But if I can't go on the boat at least I have this awesome picture. "The New Kid Boat...exciting and new..they're expecting ME" (Ha Ha).
Last weekend I spent a whole ton of time scrapbooking and finished four layouts. I haven't glued pictures down on paper for ages! Here is a peek at what I made....
I hope to rip open some Crafty Secret stamps really soon. Some things I bought with the money I made from sellin' some stuff on ebay. They are floral images so hopefully I can do lots with them.
Enjoy!

OK No Boat For.....

Plastic Blast From the Past

Greetings! It seems like each day there is something new to watch on You Tube; especially, if it has to do with NKOTB. (Why don't I just have a NKOTB blog?) Regis and Kelly, The Today show and just last week, Jimmy Kimmel. You can tell that they are back in the US and touring some more. I found this post on You Tube today. It really is a plastic blast from the past. It features the NKOTB back in oh...I would say 1990 with their release from Hasbro. The plastic NKOTB barbie dolls. I have two of them still. I even have the cassette tapes that go along with them...too bad for all of you I don't have a cassette player to listen to them on.):
So have a view/listen it will hopefully make you smile. NKOTB DOLLS

American Crafts Baby Album

Greetings! My last post featured a set of mini gift cards I made for my friend Jenny who had a baby a couple of weeks ago. The staff I work with at ECFE is putting together a basket of gifts for the new mommy.
I have several of the American Craft albums from the 1.99 bin (Hot Spot) so I decided to whip something up to go along with the note cards. I used papers from the Making Memories 6x6 pack and added TONS of stickers, die cuts, paper flowers and sentiments from Heidi Grace.
I am also official now...I made my own business cards. Well, I don't exactly have a business but it gives info about my blog and my crafting abilities. Enjoy!

Greetings! Got some craftin' done this weekend. My friend Shelly is letting me try out some Glitter Mist she wasn't using so I hope to show you some projects using it soon.
Today's post features some tiny note cards I made for my friend Jenny who just had a baby on the 17th. I figure she can use them as '"thank yous". I made 10 total with envelopes. They feature Imaginesence papers and stamps by Hero Arts (the boy set). I colored the images with my Copic markers and used a variety of punches. Simple, sweet and quick! Enjoy!

Sympathy Cards

Greetings! Where am I? Where did I go? I well...got sucked into the Facebook community. Yeah, I am there now. Despite my doubts and worries. My dear old husband is and always will be an enabler.
My post today features some sympathy cards I threw together this week. I really haven't been craftin' lately. It probably has something to do with working too much last weekend at the store or something.
This card features some of the new Basic Grey Porcelain line. I used a Hero Arts stamp from a couple of years back..it's wood mounted (can't believe it). The ink I used on the image is Shadow Ink from Hero. I also used my Martha Stewart punch (yes the one that makes my hand swell..)OUCH! Do you like the potty pics? Here is a fun web site to check out...if you like to cook. Enjoy!
