TGIF- Thank Goodness it's Friday

Hello Blogger Friends
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. I can't believe that we are almost in May, where has the time gone?? I have been so busy with school and trying to keep up, and looking for another part time job, it's been rough. Jobs are so hard to come by and it seem now a days employers have the upper hand. The other day I was reading a job description and they wanted someone with a BA degree but only wanted to pay $10.50 an hour. REALLY? &10.50 an hour?? with a BA degree? Any who, I'm keeping the faith and know that God will lead me in the right direction.

Well next Friday May 6th, I'll be inducted into Phi Theta Kappa and then on May 25th, I'll graduate with my certificate in Human Services. Yippie! I'm so excited!

Other Big News, I was selected to be a part of the Pieces of Me design team .... yay me! I'm so excited, Big things are happening right before my eyes!

The card below is one that I made a while ago and posted to my blog, this card reminds me of my sweet friend Anna Maria Bell, she's been my good friend for years, like 20 years! Just thought I'd re-post seeing how much I love it.

Friday April 15 = My Birthday

Hi all, it's been a minute since i posted to my blog, but I'm back! yay, so the card below is for my Aunt Ellie, I made it for my dad to give to her. He found this sold picture of her and wanted me to use it. So this is what I came up with. I saw this format one someones blog, but can't remember who's blog it was (Sorry). I'd love to give credit where credit is due!

Anyways, her birthday is Sunday, my parents and Stefani are going to have breakfast with her on Saturday, I can't go because I have to work. She is one of my Favorite Aunts ... (My Aunt Lupe is my other fav). They are my Dad's sisters ... when I was younger, I use to spend all my summers with them, I loved it! it was the best time of my life...I didn't have a care in the world, my only job was to good, have fun and play, play and play.. My dad's mom use to take us to the beach on the weekends, so much fun :)

Nothing like spending time with my family, Aunts, Uncles and my cousins ...Ahhh those were the days :)

So on this card, I used my Happy Birthday cuddle bug embossing folders and then for the picture, I used my NEW nesties .... well, I better go, heading out to celebrate my day! Thanks for stopping by - Until I post again, have a blessed day!

April 1st Already?

Hi all and Happy Friday! short post today, gotta lots to do, but i haven't posted anything in a few days so I thought I would post this little card. I'm not sure that I like it, I think I used to much pink, but I'm still a work in progress, right? .... I love this little Anya stamp, I think shes so cute, kind of reminds me of my Steffers, she still has her teddy bears ... and I'm thinking she's not giving them up any time soon ... LOL

well, like I said, the weathers good and I have lots to do, thanks for stopping by, until I post again, have a blessed day!

To The Moon!

Hi all ... and Happy Friday! So glad it's Friday, not sure why seeing that I have to work tomorrow, but there's something about Friday's that makes me happy ... :) It's been raining here for the last few days, I love the rain, but that means Stefani and I can't ride our bikes, I only have 6 weeks left to make my goal weight .... eek, but when the summer comes, I'll be complaining it's to hot, so I'll enjoy this cool weather while it's here!

So this is my Space Ian card, I can't take the credit for the design, I seen it somewhere before and remembered it and decided to use it for this lil guy! I really don't care for the back ground, but I was trying to make it look like Ian was in space. I used some black card stock, the moon is hard to see, but I used one of my cuttlebug templates and cut it in a half moon. I used my copics in Ian's hair and some silver H20 on his outfit. Well hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by! Until I post again, have a blessed day!

Lil Fire Fighter

Morning blogging friends .... first off I would like to day Rest in Peace Elizabeth Taylor! I liked her, she had gumption!

Ok, back to my card... I got this stamp from my friend Jen from Pieces of Me, I love it ... it's so cute. I found it while I was cleaning out my scrapbook room a few weeks ago. it's an amazing thing when you clean, you find so many cool and cute things you forgot you had! LOL.

My daughter loves this stamp too, when she sees Fighter Fighters, she always thinks of our dear friends Jim and his wife CB. Jim was a Captian of one of the Fire Departments where we live ... when they were coming home from calls they received, and if they passed our house, Jim would blow the horn from the fire truck ... Stefani would get so excited. Awww the memories. Jim's retired now, but Stefani always thinks of him when she sees the Fire Trucks .... We've know them for at least 24 years, I work with CB at a baby store and we remained friends, Stefani was 3 months old when I met them ... Just like my dear friends Doug and Darlene ... man I love them! they are fantastic friends ....

Ok, back to the card, I used some copics on him, I also used the blending copic on his boots, to make it look like they are white washed. the paper is one of the things that I found when cleaning my scrapbook room, I found so much paper in this little folder, it was like Christmas ... hehe .... well guess I better go and get some things done. Thanks for stopping by, until my next post ... Hope ya'll have a great day!

A Rainy Day

Hi all,

well it's raining here in Northern Cali, but I like it. I like being in the house when it's raining and watching movies and eating comfort food ... how about you? the rain is relaxing for me, I can do homework without wanting to be outside.

I'm still trying to write my term paper, but it's so hard and I'm feeling lazt about it, but it's due soon so I need to get on it ... blah!

Well on to my card:

I felt like this little stamp was appropriate seeing it's raining. I used my copics and some christal stuffs to make it shine but it's hard to see it in this picture. I also added some glitter as the rain drops to give it that extra bling. well short post today, I really need to get on that term paper .... ack!

Well thanks for stopping by, until my next post .... have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by!

Graduating with Honors

Hi all, looky what I got in the mail yesterday, it's my Phi Theta Kappa stuffs for my graduation, I'll be graduating with Honors in May 2011 ... yay me, I worked so hard for this, I can't believe that I'll be getting my Human Services Certificate in May. I'll still have another year to go to get my degree, but it's been so worth it. I'm super excited!

Well I thought I would share my excitement! hope ya'll have a great weekend! It's going to have a rainy weekend here, but I'm thinking that I'm going to go to Macy's and get me a new outfit ..... thanks for stopping by!

ATC Creation - Encourage

Hi all, well this isn't a very good picture, but it's my ATC creation, my bloggy friend Sarabeth did a ATC challenge and my letter was "E" - therefore I did Encourage. It's not my best work, but it's what I came up with .... I used some bazzill Black card stock but sprayed it with some white Smooch Spritz to give it that iridescent look to it ... I used my H20's to color the circles and then stamped the flowers on them and added some bling and the red ribbon.

Like I said, not my best work, but I think they came out ok .... well short post today, gotta get on that homework and term paper ... I've been researching Crime and prostitution to write about ... gotta get on it seeing it's due soon. I'm such a procrastinator! Thanks for stopping by and until my next post, hope all my bloggy friends have a good day!

Happy St. Patricks Day ... :)

Happy Saint Patricks Day! I got up this morning and got dressed went to my appointment with the Dean of Solano College and forgot that it was St. Patty's day ... I didn't have any green on, the Dean's admin pointed it that out to me ... I really thought that she was going to pinch me ... LOL she was decked out in Green, in fact many colors of green ...

So I'm hoping that my appointment with the Dean works out, I went to plead my case to be approved for financial aid, he told me to check back next week to see if I was approved. Anyways, school is half over and I'm so happy about that! But then, I'll be taking some summer classes and then it will be time for fall and that means English and math classes! GUH, ACK, BLAH!!!!!

Well on to my little card, It's he cute, I used him last year but I like the colors I used this year. This card almost looks like Fall ... here we are in Spring and I'm making cards with Fall colors .. oh well! Didn't do to much to this card, just used 3 of my copic pens, some ribbon and a flower and brad! easy peezy!

well friends, it's time to clean the kitchen and get to working on my term paper ... thanks for stopping by, until I post again, have a good day my bloggy friends!

It's a Cupcake Kind Of Day

Hey blogger friends! man this weather has been so crazy, it's nice one day and then it's pouring rain the next. Its been a bit overcast and cloudy today, but no rain so far. I think it rained last night, but that's about it. My Steffers is so ready for the spring and good weather so she can go golfing with my dad.

It's Hump day Wednesday and I'm off today, I have a term paper to write and I'm not sure what I'm going to do it on, but I need to get myself in gear and get it done, it's due April 3rd, and that's not to far away!

I ordered my Honor Stole for my graduation in May, I can't wait ... still looking for another part time job, i need one so bad ... but I guess all in good time.

So I love the stamps that I used, they are from great Impressions ... they are two separate stamps, but fit well together, at least I think so. I used my Prima colored pencils and some gamsol to blend the colors. I also used some gold glitter on the pearls and some clear glitter on the cupcake to make it sparkle, it's hard to see, but it's there....

Well, a short post today, I really have to get going and start on that darn term paper .... thanks for stopping by and until my next post, hope ya'll have a great day!
