So I finally posted something here again :)Carrie and Pam over at 3-D Design Challenge put out a great challenge this week(as usual). And this time I actually did it!!! So what if the kids didn't get fed and the laundry piled up! Occasionally the paper and stamps call louder than a toddler(and that is really saying something).First off I have had this book sitting in my stamping cupboard for

I admit I hated this set the first time I saw it. I purchased it as I thought it was a good 'mother in law' set. Once I got it though - I have fallen in love.

Up first - I am in love with this Beyond Grey paper! I gave myself the challenge of using only neutral card stock in these two cards - so you have black, Basic Grey and Whisper White. Grey taffeta ribbon is my other new favourite. White 'just because' and black flowers are rub on from the Sale-A-Bration mini, as is the stamp set.More of the same here - but the stamp set is Embrace Life, and the

Stampin Up has announced that there will be 7% off the prices printed in the new catalogue(not the starter kit though)! Prices printed in the Spring/Summer were already lower than the Fall/Winter but thanks to our strong dollar they have dropped them even more. Yippee! Having viewed the new catty I can say - LOVE IT! I have also seen the Sell-a-bration sets - love them too!Merry Christmas

I have been a busy stamper this last week - trying to get my Christmas cards done. I still have a few to go but below are some of the ones I have made.

In two ways - first I won Marie's prize this last week for participating in her challenge and second I had my baby!Here she is - cute as a button! Baby G was born Tuesday - and we are all doing really well! I don't know if I'll get any cards done this week but I do need to finish her birth announcements - so if I get that done I'll post that this week.

Ho Ho Ho! 58 Days till Christmas and Marie is getting us ready! First one follows all rules and the second one I dropped the holiday business but kept the very cool layout.Since I haven't invested in chipboard yet I used some cardboard packaging - so the mitts are chipboard - with some micro beads for bling. I looked in my drawers for some fibers that would mimic fur but didn't have anything.

Still here , still pregnant ;-) Tomorrow night I have a card class so I have been spending all my spare time working on the cards for that - once it is over I'll post the last 2 cards.I have also been trying to make baby announcements but so far have cut up a lot of paper and come up with nothing good!

I have a card class coming up and am trying to come up with some cards that are easy to prep and make.This is what I did today - I went through the catalogue and sketched some of the cards I liked. One is in the same colours, and the rest are similar in layout but different colours. None of them use the stamp sets in the catty.Love this oneLike this one(scanned really dark - it is Kraft,

This challenge has given me nightmares. I still hate what I made but figured I'd post anyway - maybe I'll win the blog candy and it will make this torture worth it ;-) I dragged out a bunch of non-SU! stuff as I am trying to decide what old products I want to keep and what I want to sell or turf.

I have not forgotten about this blog. I just have no creative juices it seems. I think this baby is sucking me dry of them! I have a few items to post - one being Marie's latest challenge - which has sent me into fits!I have officially started my leave now so hopefully I'll get some cards made in the next few days.

I got my last order so fast! I placed the order on Monday night - and here it is Friday night and I come home from work and it is sitting on my door step! Inside is the new scallop punch! I am drooling while I look at it - but I am exhausted so it will have to wait until tomorrow to get taken out. My hubby has to work tomorrow - putting in a little overtime as his company fired a guy earlier

Loved this challenge. It had me stumped for a bit though - I need to buy some new stamps - hee hee. But instead I looked through my sets and decided that Little Pieces and Big Pieces rarely get used - but I really do like the sets. Artistic Avenger had a great post using these as well. Which renewed my love for these two sets. I also needed a Thank You card so I added a stamps from the Much

I tried to use scraps hence why the cards aren't exactly to the sketch but you get the idea.I made these cards for some friends of ours. They are in their 90's and now because of illness they are living apart so I made them each a card for their rooms.

A big thanks to Allison over at Stampin' When I Can for mentioning this wee little blog of mine under her Newly Discovered Bloggers heading. She has a great blog - so much information - and lists where to find blog candy(aka free stuff and give aways!). You gotta know I am (married into) a Mennonite family - if I know where to look for free stuff - LOL!

Uploading it was another story - I can't get it to let me post a thing - Tonight I am feeling rather hormonal (being pregnant and all) and nearly threw the computer out the window in frustration. So perhaps tomorrow I'll

I haven't gotten any stamping done this week yet - so I pulled this one out to share.It is also my header on my blog. I cased the colours(I had a different pink in the scrap pile so I used that) from Stamp Crazy- which is great blog! I could search through her demos for hours! And it is all organized by stamp sets! Anyway my hubby has ordered me off the computer and to bed (see my regular

I got a rush of creativity last week. I think it was because I only worked one day and wanted to avoid cleaning something ;-) I continue to use scraps only - It seems like there is a never ending supply of theses. I have just about run out of pieces big enough to make standard cards, so I may make a few fronts just to display or postcards.I am anxious to read all the blogs with convention

Loved this one - thought the circle would ruin my day but it was a joy to do! Still using scraps only(see post below for that info).

Today I decided that I must start using some of my scraps - especially as my office will be moved to soon to make way for our next baby(16 weeks to go). Less space = less stuff. So my rule to self was I could not use any full size sheets - or cut off the roll for any ribbon. That was my challenge to myself - Marie's challenge was to use our favorite stamp set and the layout she sketched(see

I was asked by my hubby's boss(Al) to make a card for a male birthday! Male cards always stump me esp. as I don't have a lot of sets that are masculine.

Decided to get my act together a bit more this week and post this as soon as it was done. I decided I wanted to use one of my new sets - so I cut it out while my son watched Cars. Next choosing colours - I have been having troubles using Groovy Guava. So I pulled out the new catty and pulled the colours from the Style Watch section at the beginning - v. cool by the way!

Due to the intense heat around here this week - spending time in the office was impossible. I managed to get this card done early in the week but couldn't face the computer in 42 degrees(aka 108 for the US crew) to post it!I have to say that More Mustard is not a favourite of mine and it took some digging to even find a piece. The first attempt I was not happy with so I tried again. Still not

I came across a blog where they post challenges. The layout and some rules to follow are given. This week it was to create a card using stamps that picture living things but no flowers.So picked my stamps sets(Carte Postale). I used the leaf stamp - but now that I have made the card I think it may be a flower. Oh well - I may try to work on this layout again and try a different set. I am

I love this new colour. I thought I would morn the loss of Cool Caribbean forever but this takes the sting away. I used this year's punch box set and the designer series paper - which I LOVE!!!

I love this new set - I used chocolate chip and whisper white craft ink to stamp the images. The center sticker is not SU!

I have to admit - I really dislike super bright colours. So as a challenge to myself I made myself make a card with them. I cased the layout from the demonstrator site and voila - bright bright bright!The stamp set(Bud Basics) I used is another that was in a mini and has moved on to the main catty.

One of my friends turns the big 3-0 next week. So we took her out to Restaurant 62 and lavished her with gifts! This card is made with things from the new catalog. New papers and stamps(although the stamps were from a mini but are now in the main!) Although you can't tell the flower image had micro beads on it. I've never used them before but they are fun!!
