Bad Blogspot!

Perhaps it was an operator error but my post from yesterday that I had all set up did not cooperate with me and while I was out of town it decided not to post!  However here we go again...

My lovely and talented friend Barb at Bugbites is working on releasing not 1 but 2 fabulous stampsets that you will for sure what to check out--because they are amazing!  One is called "Magic Spells" and the other amazing set is "Mistletoe." 

Barb has chosen some great guest designers who are showcasing her great stamps and you won't want to miss them...fortunately for me she selected me to help her as well :)  I LOVE these stamps and I know you will too!  So stop by and be sure to place your order with Barb! 

Here are two cards from the "Magic Spells" set!  Enjoy!

Hello blog friends.  I found some time to play with my Cricut working on some upcoming projects and releases-- get excited friends!  I did find some time to make some simple thank you cards for my husband to use and I am quite please with how they came out.  I have decided I am obsessed with using "Crumb Cake" colored cardstock!  Love it! 

Are any of my MN friends heading out to the Scrapbooking and Stamping Expo in St. Paul this weekend????

Let's Veg Out!!!

Oh how I wish I was veggin' out right now...on a beach chair someplace warm and sunny...but not too warm...and I suppose not too sunny!  I hope you take some time to check out the super fabulous challenge that is happening over at Scrappy Moms this week.  The challenge for their Terrific Tuesday Challenge is "Country Life."  I just recently picked up this cartridge for a few of the different cuts on it that I have been wanting to use but just haven't found the time!  However, tonight I made sure I found the time and I love my card...yup...I'm bragging a little but seriously...don't you just love when you have a vision in your head and you just know it's going to be great.  Well for me most of the time things don't always go so great...BUT tonight...ummm hello love what I did.  Wow... and it clearly is getting late as I've raved about how great I am for long enough :)  Stop over at Scrappy Moms and check out the other fab cards!

Criss Crossed Birthday!

Happy Tuesday!  I hope this post finds you well and having a nice day.  It's quite brisk here in MN-- I think that summer has officially come to an end.  I am excited to see the leaves change and enjoy the cooler weather...but I'm not quite ready for the snow.  Last night I had a little time to spend with my crafting goodies and I created this cute criss cross/pocket card for a challenge at Birthday Sundaes.  The challenge was to create a criss cross birthday card--so I did :)  Hope you enjoy it!
