Baby Shower Invites

Wow, looky me, two post back to back! LOL, I have been so busy working that I lost time making cards, not to mention I have been very lazy. So I made the following cards for my sister to choose from for her daughter's baby shower. I love this cute little lamb, I think it's just right, I used my nesties and my cricut Sugar and Spice to make the lamb. I think it came out pretty cute.

 This little card was the second one I made, I used my Sugar and Spice cricut again and made the little bib and added some bling, I thought this one was cute too ....
 The one below was a bit more time consuming, this is the one my sister picked, we did some mass producing ... I cut out all the pieces one day and them my sister stopped by for 7 hours and we put them all together. I used my classic circle Nesties and I think the Sugar and Spice cricut, but I can't be sure. Anywho, we made 30 of them and now I'm going to start working on the Thank You notes so my niece can send them out right away. I have some time, her shower is in a few weeks ....

Well until I post again, thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Cards

Well i'm a bit late, but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Gosh, I can't believe that it's 2012 already, can't be sure what happened to 2011, but I think it was good to me ... hehe, hoping 2012 is even better.

I'm late on posting the cards I sent out this year ... the one below is a very simple card, but cute. I used my nestis and a holly punch and some red and white twine .... I found the little red glittery things at Michales, I loved them so much, I bought all the colors they had ...

 This little card is made from a napkin, yes a napkin, I peeled off all the layers until I got to the printed picture and then sprayed some sticky stuffs on white card stock and blam, instant card ... so easy, but the fumes give me a head ache ..... LOL once the napkin dried, I used my nesties and cut out the tree and placed it on green card stock....
Well, a short post today, but thanks for stopping by! I'm working on some Baby shower cards for my niece, she's due next month, i'm so very excited, i'm going to be her Nina ... finally I get to be a Nina (godmother) ....I hope they decide on a name soon, it changes every day but I'm going to call her Emmy :)

Until my next post, thanks again for stopping by :)

Hello blogger friends and happy Saturday, man. I can't believe how time flies and how busy life gets. I haven't posted to my blog for a while ... I'm so embarrassed. well the little card below I made for my little cousin, she turned 2, and is so cute. I used my fav Anya stamp and it was fitting for her as she is a little princess.



I used a white doylie and use my copic sprayer and sprayed it purple. i love that copic sprayer, I think its called an air sprayer or something like that, but I love it ... it's comes in handy. I used it on an embossing template and it worked pretty good, the only thing is that i can't get the color off the template ... hehehe I'm still a work in progress .... SO aside from school, not much is going on. just working a lot of hours and still going to school. My little one, well she's 25, but always my baby, twisted her ankle and now has a stress fracture on her left foot. The kid is a trooper, she went to school and did PE for 3 days before she told me it was bothering her. She has a high pain tolerance ... she once cheered in a national cheer competition on a fractured foot! she is awesome! well it's time to go and get some house work done .... thanks for stopping by!

Princess Anya

Morning and Happy Monday! I got up early this morning and started cleaning the house and homework, thank goodness i'm good at multi tasking... hehehe So it was so nice yesterday it was about 78 degrees and we walked around Old Sacramento, this morning I wake up and it's all coudy outside and looks like it's going to rain! I love Anya stamps, they have to be one of my favorite companies aside from Whippersnapper stamps. I love whimsical looking stamps ...


I found this little stamp at one of my favorite stamp stores ... I made this card for a friends daughter, she wasn't feeling well so I stopped by Micky D's and put a gift certificate inside to help her get better. Well short post today, have to finish homework, laundry and have to head to school for a extra credit assignement.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time, happy stamping!

Dog Day Afternoon

Hello - long time no blogging .... ive been so busy and haven't really had much time for anything. My craft room is a huge mess, I keep buying things but haven't got the time to use them. I'm still going to school and working part time. I love my job, but I'm tired .... So i love the card below, I used my cricut, a cuttlebug die cut and i had the little fence. I stamped the little dog and cut him out ...

I added the little bees and i think the card came out pretty good. Now i'm not one for HSN or QVC, but the other night I couldn't sleep and was watching HSN, they had this Easy Sew on special and I have to say that I was suckered in and bought it. I made a card using my new toy and will post it tomorrow ... well it's Sunday and I got called into work, so i'll catch ya later, thanks for stopping by!

I'm back

Yikes, I can't believe that I have been gone for over a month, I have been busy and trying to get my life back in order since my car accident. Did well in summer school, got A's in all my classes, now starts the Fall classes.

Thanks to those who wished me well and a speedy recovery from my car accident. Well my car got totaled out and that really made me sad. I loved my Fusion! The good news is that GOD is good and my bills are going to be taken care of! I was so worried about that. Man, when Mayhem hits, it's like a big ole bowl of distruction and can turn your life up side down. I'm feeling better, back still hurts now and then, but I guess it will for a while. But the good news is that i'm on the right road, and recovering .... I was blessed to be able to get a car, it's not a Fusion, but a 2007 dodge charger. It's not new, but i like it, it's big and roomy and makes me feel safe. well, i have some creations that I will be posting tomorrow .... thanks for stopping by ... i'm going to try and be a better blogger :)

The Devils Handy Work


So the pics below is the Devils handy work. Life is going good and the devil sent in his wicked soliders to wreak havoc in my life, but he forgot that I'm a child of God and he will see me through anything! Ahem, devil, my heart belongs to God and nothing, and I mean nothing can change that! I will always WIN with God on my side ... GAME OVER!

On Monday night July 18th, I was stopped and getting ready to turn into the parking lot of my job and WHAM, some jackel hit me from the behind. He didn't even hit his breaks.

I have to say that Ford built a excellent car, his car is all bashed in ... What a mess .... Thank goodness I'm ok, have a samll concussion, along with neck and back pain ... but I believe that God and all of heaven was watching over me. the ambulance took me to the hospital and was there for a few hours while they did tests... so now i'm at home resting and taking it easy ... Head still hurts and i get a little dizzy still and my back is killing me, but i'm getting better every day. I continue to pray that the guy who hit me is ok, he was hurt as well.

Ok, so other than that, i'll get back to craftying soon .... thanks for stopping by and take care!

It's Friday and Challenge time

Hello friends and happy Friday! So much has been going on ... I finally graduated with my Certificate in Human Services, I'll post pics soon. I signed up for summer school (summer school is going to be a bear) classes are 6 weeks, but they cram 18 weeks into the six weeks .... i can do it though.

well enough about me, lets get to the challenge. This weeks challenge was hearts. Now i know i didn't use a lot of hearts, but I love the way the card turned out. I made a card like this once before, but changed a few things.... I liked the way the card looked with only one heart .... So be sure to check out Jen's blog Pieces of Ali N' Me for all the challenge details!


Man, the weather is so nice, it was raining here in Northern Cali up until the first week of June and BOOM, the sun came out and summer is here. I think it's going to be in the 80's all week ..... well hope you all enjoy the card and be sure to check out Jen's blog .... she is so talented!
