A Christmas Ornament Keepsake

I think this is my favorite card so far this year....more to come. This card definitely says "Christmas." It was fun to make (ha-ha - I think I always say that). I love the bright colors. I used the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set and Framelit dies. It's hard to see, but I embossed the ornament with the scented Stampin' Emboss Peppermint Sticks powder. It has a really glossy look to it. This picture doesn't do it justice.

I am home again, full day, from work so I am hoping to get lots of stamping done. I have a Paper Party tomorrow. I have everything ready for it but today I will pack everything to be even more ready for tomorrow. A first for me, definitely!

A Birthday Sparkle!

A quick post for today. I seem to have lots of extra "card parts," for this particular layout so I decided to take them and turn them into a birthday card. My daughter was going to a birthday party for a friend and this is what I came up with. I added a bit of sparkle to the cupcake. What 12 year old doesn't like a little sparkle in their life?

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!
Today is our first day back to school for my me and my kids after the wrath of Hurricane Sandy. We didn't get much damage but the school district that I work in is still dealing with clean up. My work schools are closed but teachers have to report to different locations. We have 6 elementary schools and two of them don't have any power. Mine just happens to be one of them.Today we had to report by 11am.

On to Halloween:
I made these little goodies for my little ones to see when they get home from school today. Stampin Up! is selling them in the holiday mini catalog. They were so easy to make,  I made them before heading in to work this morning. I just heard that Halloween Trick or Treating is being moved to Monday, November 5. My kids won't be happy!

Hope you are enjoying your Halloween festivities!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! I promised to show the completed basket for my sister and...well, I intended to but I just got too busy to do it. It includes a journal, 4 thank you cards, 4 birthday cards, a desktop calendar, a couple of catalogs and a pen. The winner was very excited. In case you are new to my blog or haven't been here in awhile, I will recap recent events. My sister just donated a kidney to a good friend of hers. The transplant happened this past Monday. Both she and her friend are recuperating in the hospital. My sister is progressing nicely. She has pain as was to be expected but is getting better everyday. I am hoping she is released today. Her friend had a complication but is on the mend now. Please pray for him that his body accepts it and uses it as needed. We are so proud of my sister and happy that things are going well. Please pray for both...it's been a busy week...and will be a busy weekend!

Thanks for stopping by...now go stamp something...or just take a nap (ha-ha)

A One Horse Open Sleigh

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was filled with soccer games for our young sons and some much needed relaxing.

I just love quick and easy cards and today's card is no different. Super super easy to make, just the way I like it. This was the last of the cards we made at Tina's Christmas card paper party. This card uses the Open Sleigh stamp set (126460), page 12, which just might be my favorite Christmas stamp set. I love, love, love the sleigh. It inks up nicely and has the BEST image. It also comes with a striped stocking. I can't wait to tamp a card with it. Stay tuned, that will be coming soon.
