About Me

I have been enjoying scrapbooking and stamping for over 8 years. I am happily married of almost 5 years and we just had our first baby, a son! We are so blessed and happy, and being able to stamp and create just makes everything complete!

"Take Time to Relax" with wine and a sunset...



I have entered another challenge at the "Sassy Studio Designs" blog, challenge #12. This week the challenge is to make a creation using a butterfly and a flower. Now, at the moment all my SASSY images that I have are all "indoor" images and to me butterflys and flowers means outdoors. Soooo, I thought outside of the box and came up with this...

I took my Sassy image and cut the girl out (originally she is lazing in a chair drinking wine), then a made a photo of a porch swing into clipart and colored it in and then I made my creation! It is a little wall hanging. I made it too big to be a card, LOL!!! But you know I thought it was a good little inspiration wall hanging, we should always be reminding ourselves to "Take time to Relax". The background is supposed to be a "at dusk" sky, and you can't see them too well, but I did use spots of silver stickles for the stars that are JUST appearing!!!




Hope you enjoy this and wish me luck with the challenge!!! I just LOVE entering these contests, I may not win, but it sure inspires me! Cheers for now!

Warm up with some Sassy and Hot Chocolate!!!

Lately I have gotten into purchasing Digital stamps as they are a lot cheaper than actual stamps! I have found some great sites and one of them is called "Sassy Studio Designs". I have also joined their blog and this week they have put a challenge up to make a card with a pocket and some flowers and whomever wins can get some FREE digi's. So here is the "card" I made.





My card is actually a little gift holder for a pkg. of hot chocolate! I found the template on SCS HERE . My flowers are the White flower brads but in a way they do look like snowflakes. The other spots are flakes of snow using "flower soft snow". My sentiment is from a SU Christmas set. Enjoy and wish me luck! tee hee

I'm BACK!!!!!

Hello All!!


I can't believe my last post was a year ago, but at lot has happened! I got pregnant and had a baby!!! So as you can imagine, things have been pretty hectic, hectic but exciting!!! I LOVE being a mom and it helps so much that my baby boy is such a GOOD HAPPY baby!!! All is well! I have slowly gotten back into card making, mostly for fun, as I am no longer a SU demonstrator. I have joined a few blogs though that post challenges and contests, so I will try to participate once in awhile or when I can!


Here is a picture of my beautiful baby, he is already 3 months old!!!


Hope all is having a great weekend and here's to being creative again!!! Cheers for now!
