Beate's Be Inspired Challenge # 21

Here's my version of Beate's Be Inspired Challenge (BIC21).

I think I like how it turned out, but I am not so sure about the orange. Maybe I will try the layout again w/ a different color scheme later this week.

Off to bed ... I am super exhausted tonight! Good thing its a short week!

Supplies: SU! Upsy Daisy & Best Yet stamps; SU! Urban Garden DP, Choc Chip & Pumpkin Pie CS; Choc Chip ink; Scallop Edge punch; and olive grosgrain from my stash.

Happy Fall Yall!

It's September! The summer came and went in a flash and the holidays will be here before you know it!

A friend gave me a wonderful gift certificate to Michael's for my birthday, so I bought a few things - including these glittery leaves. Makes for a pretty quick card. I used a Studio G alphabet set to stamp the sentiment - being from the South, the "yall" just makes sense. (My husband just rolled his eyes!) All the paper is from PTI and the chocolate ribbon is from Taylored Expressions and the gold twill is also from PTI. I made another version - which I actually think I like better ... I will post it later this week! :-)

PTI Swap

Here's the card I made for the PTI Round 8 Swap on SCS. I used the Butterfly Kisses stamp set and added some Dark Chocolate ribbon and some tiny Hero Arts pearls to add a little something.

All paper, ribbon, and stamps is from PTI.

Well, this will have to be quick ... we are headed to have some dinner and a game of Scrabble at a friend's house. Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend!

Hey Clickabella!

Happy Saturday! :-)

I got these great Clickabella images from SCS Wish RAK so I decided to color one up yesterday when I got home from school. The layout is really simple - I didn't know what sentiment I might want, so I just left it off. Isn't she cute? Its the perfect image for me - my husband says I am addicted to the internet! haha

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Just a little Note!

Happy Friday folks! TGIF! Can I say that again?! TGIF!! haha

It has been a lonnnnnnnnnnnng first week of school, but its been good. And I love that we get to end it with a 3-day weekend! I have big plans for the weekend - including some sewing (fun!), cleaning (no fun!), a "card class" with my mom and her friend, and getting to hang out and catch up with some people.

College football has officially begun. I don't know if you know that, but I certainly do - its a big deal at my house. I can now pretty much craft w/out guilt since my hubby will be in a trance for the next couple of months game days! Let's just say that he has a count down (to the second) on his computer for when his beloved Seminoles will kick off!

Hope you had a great week and you get to enjoy the long weekend! :-)

You're Just Fabulous!

"You're just fabulous!" I think that is what I would write on the inside of this card! (I mailed this off for a swap, so I left it blank inside.) Check out how blinged out this lady is ... glittery gloves, shoes and jewelry! Makes me think of the movie "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" where they have that ad campaign for women to "frost themselves" with diamonds! haha I love that movie. :-)

Hope you are having a fabulous day!

Blogger RAK from Lynn

I got my first Blogger RAK card in the mail over the weekend! It is from Lynn in St. Louis - Lynn makes some really awesome cards and I read her blog pretty regularly! :-) I really like the color scheme of this card - its simple yet has some elegance to it.

One of the things I like about Lynn is that she shares tutorials on her blog so you can learn new techniques! You should go and visit her!

School is going good - we had a tornado warning today, so we did spend 45 minutes in the hallway on our knees until we got the all clear, but so far the first week hasn't been too bad! I have some great kids and I think we will be able to have a fun year. :-)

I have a bunch of cards made w/ the Penny Black girls stamps - so you'll be seeing a bunch of those over the next few days - I made them for a swap I hosted and I really hated to send them on! But I hope my fellow swappers enjoy them!

Happy Wednesday!
