George of the Jungle

Hey there, whoopie the semester has ended, but in a few weeks i'll be crying about summer school ... hehehe so with school out I found time to make this cute little card. it's hard to see but I used my Prima color pencils and some gamisol to even it out ... I love this little guy!


On another note, I can't believe that it's the end of May and I'm having to use an umbrella here in CALIFORNIA, what in the world? Usually it's warm/hot and i'm crying I need the AC, so crazy! Well it's a short post today, I have so many things that I want to do seeing I don't have any homework! hehehe I'm so excited! Thanks for stopping by~

School Project

Hey there, OMGoodness, the semester is finally over, well ok, I still have 2 more classes, but then i'm done ... for now... and boy oh boy do I ever need the rest. I'm going to take some online classes in the summer, but it shouldn't be as bad as what I'm going through now.

So for one of my classes, I had to run a mock group, so I made a took box and a referral box to help with the group, it worked out perfectly and I'm sure that I did well. So i'm pretty happy at the way to tool box turned out ... i think it's so cute!


below is the referral box, I also made some tickets with my Cricut ...it came out so good.

Now that school is coming to an end, I feel like I can be a bit more crafty. I don't think that i'll be taking 3 classes again, i'll leave that to the young guns .... 2 will be my max ... hehehe

well thanks for stoping by!

Flapper ....

OMGoodness- I totally love Anya ... I just bought a ton of stamps and can't wait to create something ... I had some extra time today so I thought I would make a card real fast before heading to school. The picture is hard to see, I used my iPhone to take it, to lazy to use the camera! hehehe

I used the flapper stamp and my nestys for this one, I also used some of my copics and a glitter pin for the headband and feather. I love the sparkle affect the glitter pens give off ...

Aside from school, nothing new going on here, i have to say the weather has been good though, today it was in the high 80's ... so you know what that means, summer is on it's way .... I don't care for the heat, but as long as i'm near a pool, it can get as hot as it wants too. I'm going to get season passes to water world again this year for Stefani and myself, I'm thinking that i'll get one for my momma too. She went with us a few times last year .... it was fun!

Took my Mom to Kaiser to get her new shoes, who knew that Kaiser will pay for a pair of shoes and some lifts?? I didn't, so every year from now on, I can take my Mom to get a new pair of shoes ... she needs them due to her diabetes.

Well it's that time, time for school, so i better go, I have a test tonight that i'm SOOOOO not ready for ... thanks for stoping by, hope you enjoy my flapper girl!

Whoo Hoo, Yay Me!

Happy Friday everyone, well I didn't have the chance tomake any cards within the past few weeks, I have been so busy with school and my projects that I haven't spent much time in my crafty room .... blah!

Looky what I got from my good friend Dawne, she sent it to me for my birthday .... THANK YOU Dawne! I love it all!

Man, I'm happy the Spring is here, but it's really messin with my allergies! Sneezing and runny noise ... grrrrr ... but Stefani and I are still having fun ... riding bikes, walking and doing yard work.

Thank goodness the semester is almost over, I have to say that I will NOT take more than 2 classes a semester ... this semester is kicking my booty.

In other news, My Stefani needs to have TWO root canals done on Monday, she has NO idea what she's in for and I'm not telling ..... so wish me and her luck! Well thanks for stoping by ...

Happy Saturday

HI all, well it's been a lazy day, Stefani isn't feeling to good, she's sneezing and coughing ... blah, I hate it when she's sick. I have to say that she's a trooper though, she hasn't complained at all and will do her best to keep up with me. She hates taking naps or resting, I think she thinks she's going to miss something ... hehehehe

Looky what I got in the mail today, I got some money for my birthday (next week) and i got some Anya Stamps from the greeting farm, I also got some from Jen at Little C's .... I'm so excited. I have always seen my blogging buddies using them, but never had the chance to get any, well now I do, I think I have at least 20 new Anya stamps ... yippie for me .....

Well as you can see, no card for today, I'm going to try and post something tomorrow, I have been working on a paper for school, it's due Monday and I'm not even close to being done, but I have been working on it and doing my research .... so with that said, I better go and get on that paper. Thanks for stopping by! Have a good weekend!

The Queen Has Arived!

Hola blogger friends, I was at the Scrapbook Expo a few weeks ago and found this stamp, isn't she cute?? I had to have her and I knew just who to make the card for ... one of my Professors, she always calls herself the Queen, I made a Thank you knote for her with the stamp and she loved it!

Well it's a short post today, I have school tonight and then it's Spring break! Yippie .... Hope you all enjoy! Oh and be sure to check out Little C's for some new stamps... you can find the link on Jen's - Pieces of Me blog .... I just bought some new Anya stamps, I can't wait to get them!

My First Anya Stamp

Well it's kind of hard to see, but this is my first Anya stamp, I bought some more but was so excited that I had to make a card right away, she is so cute! I'll be sure to post more as I make them.... perhaps on spring break, I have one week of school left and 2 midterms, I hope I do well...

Gosh, as I sit here and type out this post, and i'm so excited about my new stamps, I do it with a heavy heart, a friend of mine passed away yesterday ... I worked with her for several years at Target and Providian Finanical ... she was sick for a few days and now she's gone ... I'm not sure what she passed from, but I know she was sick with bonchitis (sp??) ....

well on that note, I better go, I still need to shower, study and go get my car, it's in the shop for an oil change and small tune up .... hope you all have a blessed day!


** My dear friend Perlita, may you have a safe and quick journey to Heaven, may God wrap his arms around your family during this difficult time **

It's Spring Time

Hello, Hello, hello .... it's such a beautiful day here in Northern Cali, I think it's going to be in the mid to high 70's, i'm lovin it, but the bad thing is that - that means summer is right around the corner and I don't like the heat ..... but on the other hand, that means that Stefani and I will be hanging out at Water World on the weekends ... woot!

This little card reminds me of SPRING, all the bright colors I used .... I love the background striped paper, it's one of my favorites ..... I also used my oval spellbinders, LOL when I was putting them together, i was off a bit ... hehehe oh well, I guess that's what makes this card an original. I love the stamp, it looks like the girl is going to be carried away ..... I was so excited, I used my Smooch ink for her hair, pants and shirt and balloons ... it's kind of hard to see, but I used that crystal stuff on the balloons .... then of course I used some flowers.

Well short post today, I have to get the day started and do some laundry, food shopping and the dreaded homework.... thanks for stoppin by .....

Happy Saturday!

Morning all, i was up early due to the birds chirping and the sun shining, I guess that's a good thing, but I wanted to sleep in ... oh well .... I'm going to my cousin's baby shower today, she is having a little girl after having 2 boys, so she is super excited..... so here is one of the cards that I just got done making, the shower is in 2 hours and I'm making cards and blogging ... LOL


I made this one for my Momma, she figures why should she buy cards when I can make them for her for free, and she's right! I love this little one, I think it's because all of the pink in it and the little images.....

Well, it's a really short post today seeing that i'm running late, hope you all enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Hola Senorita

Isn't she so cute?? I call her my little Senorita, she actually reminds me of my good friend Anna, I got her at my favorite stamping store in my neighboring city! I used my new spellbinders for her .... I have to say that it came out pretty good.

I used my NEW brown Smooch ink for her hair and then my copics of course for her dress .... it's kind of hard to see but I also used some crystal stuff on her little dress to make it puffy .... Oh and I can't forget the use of the flowers .... over all, I love it ...

So Stefani and I were up early this morning, well at least I was, a friend called me at 5:45am ... perhaps he's not a very good friend for calling that early ... Just kidding .... he saw that I called him so he was calling me back, but had he looked at the time, he would have noticed that I called last night at 8:40pm.

well a short post today, as you all know I have tons of homework to do and little time to do it in ... Thanks for stoping by .....
