Day Two Of My Mission!

Wow I never realized how many Bella's I have....lol. Along with them I have a few of the non-bella's so I am going to try and work with these first. (Like that will happen ...... every time I open the binder to look at what stamp I want to attempt next I see my bella's waiving at me...lol.) I love the way the "hibiscus circle" stamp turned out. It was one of the stamps I fell in love with as soon as I saw it. :) My second card was using the"shoebag" stamp and again this is one of those stamps that the possibilities are endless. (Okay who are we kidding the possibilities of ANY bella product are endless...lol) The only thing I found with this card was that I underestimated the time in which it takes white craft ink to dry and the white smeared a bit. I debated posting it but then though oh well gotta show the good with the bad ..... lol. Okay enough yapping for one day I am going to attempt two more projects. :) Thank you for stopping in and taking a look at my creations. :)

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Ok, ok I know I complained about the winter we had in Ontario but ohhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy if this is any indication on how hot the summer is going to be I am going to be in BIG trouble. (*sighhhhh) It was so hot today the dogs did not want to go outside.

So what is a girl supposed to do.....oh that's easy.... Stay inside and make some cards. :) I have made it a mission to make a card a day (at the least) until I have used up all by bella's and non-bella's. Today I opted for these two stamps. Hope you enjoy and again thank you all who stop in and take a look at my creations and leave your wonderful comments. :) TYFL!

Purple, Purple and More Purple!

Its is only the early hours of Sunday and this is the first time in what seams like forever this weekend that I got to spend "me" time. And to not say the least I am on a purple kick...lol.
All three cards made between yesterday and today have purple in them. The first of my cards made was for our neighbours daughter who is in the hospital. We all wish her a speedy recovery and cant wait to see her smiling face back on our street. She had told me a while back her favourite color was purple so I only saw it fit to make her a card using her favourite color. When we went to visit her in the hopsital Friday nite the first words out of her mouth when she took the card out were "OHHHHHHHH I got one of the nice cards!!!!!!!" (she likes them better than Hallmarks...lol) She is such a sweet girl and it was nice lifting her spirits up even if it was only for a few minutes before she could not sit up anymore. :( The second card made was with my very first Stella that I own. I took Nicky's class last week at the store and what can I say I LOVE STELLA!!!! I was not sure when she first came out but OMG ... LOVE her. Now I need to get more Stella's :) . I made her for my elderly neighbour Betty. Its her birthday Monday. And for those that have ever met Betty they will know the card is fitting. :) Happy Birthday Betty!!!! Last but not least I figure I may as well make a card "just because" :) . Not often I don't put a sentiment on a card but I decided not to on this one as I am not sure when or to whom I will give it to. Ok enough yapping as it is now past 2am...lol. Thank you all for taking the time to stop in and take a look and leave your inspiring comments. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! TYFL!

P.S. If the weather is anything like it was today this last picture is what you will find my family doing.....lol

WOOT!!!!!!

Got to love when a new bella is released. Ty Emily! She is beautiful. I guess there are some perks living close to da bella shop. :) Her puppy adds the perfect touch!

Mr. Sun Please Come Out!

Those were Penny's first words out of her mouth this morning. She kept on waiving her arms in the air...lol. I think the sun is trying to come out its just taking its time. A little cool out I decided to lock myself in my room and try and be a bit creative. Ok I said I would try...lol. Here are three cards that have been sitting on my desk in pieces that I finally got to finish. I want to take a quick second and thank you all who come and view my cards and leave your comments. They are very inspirational. TYFL!

Two Missions!

Today I had two missions! The first was to make a birthday card for my sister who turns 40 next month and the second was to give Maggoo ( our bichion/shitzu) a bath! Hmmmmmmm.... lets just say the birthday card is made and Maggoo never got his bath. I decided I would let the kids call him the "Incredible Hulk Dog" for one more day. Seams as if when I was mowing the backyard today Mr. Maggoo decided to wait till the grass was shooting out to go and roll in the clippings. *sighhhhhhh. He is white with a few black spots so I am sure you can all imagine how "GREEN" he is. He does look cute so I figured I would work on another card with the new loopy daisy stamp I just got. :) Short and sweet tonight because my alarm clock (the girls) will go off on its own at 7am. TYFL!

Awsome Saturday!!!!

Wow! Wow! Wow! what an amazing day after a veryyyyyyyyy long week. Since so much has happened this week I wont bore you all with the little details. The worst of the week was when the girls school called to say that Penny had walked through poison ivy walking 2 school. (for those that know my youngest Penny you will know this is a Penny thing she did...lmao) *sighhhhhhhhhh

As a result my creativity has been at a low point this week but I was able to make these two cards. Now I am sitting here with all these ideas running through my head so I am gonna try and make something tonight and hopefully post them tomorrow. :)
The best part of the week was today. I was able to take a class at Bella!!! Nicky you rock! The cards we made are awsome and learning new techniques is always a plus. For those of you

that dont know yet Nicky now has her own blog and you can view her AMAZING work there. Here is the link for the ladies that would like to take a look. http://www.creationsbynicky.blogspot.com/

Ok enough yapping I am gonna get to work and post some of my new cards tomorrow. TYFL!
