Burnin' Rubber...rubber stamps that is...

It's early...

It's quiet...

It's time to stamp...



Have an incredible Sunday Peeps!

Baker out.

I am off to see New Moon today with the girls from work. Can't wait!!

So far, so good...

Yeppers, things on the home front are going very well with the new addition to our little family. Libby is settling in just fine and is actually putting on some weight. She looks better already. Did I tell that she came to us all skin & bones? It was terrible, sad, heart breaking, you name it. Maybe that is why we knew we HAD to have her. We HAD to take her home with us, care for her, love her, show what it is like to be with people that really want you in their lives. It was meant to be, I just know it.

Here are all three of our adorable babies...

Molly aka Big Mama...

 

Bailey aka Baby aka White Dog (yes, she comes to all three names) and yes, she carries a baby in her mouth ALL THE TIME!! LOL The beaver happens to be her FAVE right now.

 

And last, but certainly not least is Libby aka Peanut...

 

She is currently in hog heaven with the two baskets of toys in the living room. She is constantly pulling them out and hiding them around the house. It is hysterical. She also likes to go wherever you go. Wanna go to the garage? How about the bathroom? To the kitchen? Oh yeah, she is game for ALL of it!! She doesn't want to be left out of ANYTHING. LOL

Alright, well, I am off like a prom dress, work comes early tomorrow.

Night Peeps!

Say HI to our newly adopted baby...

Her name is LIBBY. We adopted her on Tuesday and are absolutely in love with her. She is getting along fabulously with the girls, Molly & Bailey. We couldn't be happier!!

Creative Cuts & More Holiday Blog Hop

Are you ready to do some hopping? I was invited to be a Guest Designer this month for Creative Cuts & More. As you know, I LOVE their die cut cards as they make card making sooooo EASY! Especially when you don't have that much time on your hands (like me) because of work, family life, etc. CC&M also has great die cuts for projects, gifts, etc. You definitely want to check them out.

Anywho, let's get back to the Holiday Blog Hop, shall we? Did you get here from Steph's blog? If not, you should really start from the beginning over at Die Cut Diva. You don't want to miss out on any of the cards/projects that were created by the Design Team & Guest Designers this month!!

Why does my MOJO leave at all the wrong times?

Someone please tell me. Why? Why does this happen? I am dying to stamp, can't stop thinking about it...I sit in front of my stamp desk and then...NOTHING. Nothing. nothing. I don't understand. You know what I am thinking about? Taking a nap. Seriously...WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?? UGH!

So why am I posting to the ole blog? Well, I have one last card to share that I stamped a couple of weekends ago...

 

I just have to say, this is one of my most favorite cards I have made in awhile. I almost didn't want to give it away. But alas, my very sweet & good friend Dana was the recipient, so I willingly gave it to her but only AFTER I made myself a copy of it. LOL All stamps are from Odd Bird Planet. The paper is from Basic Grey. 

Alright, I am off to change the laundry and then maybe I will come back in here and stare at my stamp desk a little more.

Have a SUPER Sunday Peeps!

Ceesco & Pancho meet PW!

Oh my goodness, it was so exciting last night. I FINALLY met Ree Drummond aka PW aka Pioneer Woman aka p-diddy...LOL I went to her book signingast night with my friend Dana and her cousin Tena. It was too much fun! The only bummer was that my Sis couldn't be there...oh wait... She WAS there, see...

Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is on it's way...

Are you ready for it? Is your bumm ready to expand with all the eating you are about to do? Don't give me that look, you know what I am talking about. It happens to all of us. We mean well, but in the end, who can resist all the candy, desserts and good food that is cooked over the holidays?  Seriously! LOL

So I survived October, barely. It was insane, crazy, FRUSTRATING, tiring, you name it, it was all of that! But alas, here I am. Ready to start another month. Keeping positive thoughts. Looking forward to seeing, no, wait, I AM MEETING, Ree Drummond aka Pioneer Woman, on November 5th!! I have a stamp date planned with my friend Dana on the 14th. I also have a girls day planned on the 21st to go see NEW MOON with a bunch of girls from work and then there is Thanksgiving. Such a busy month and I am sure that is not all that will be going on. You know why? Cause Christmas is next month and I need to get my Christmas cards made ON TIME this year. Plus, I have several home-made gifts I am wanting to make so I really need to step it up. I just pray that I am able to get everything done in a timely fashion this year. No late presents or cards for the rest of the year...I hope! LOL

But enough about that, how about a card?

 

I made this card using the Limited Edition Penguin set from Odd Bird Planet. This set sold out in record time last year. I feel so lucky that I was able to get it. The penguins are to die for in it. You just can't mess around when Johanna puts these sets up for sale. No joke! LOL The background paper is a couple of years old. Love that color combination...yummy!

Alright, well, Molly is licking my arm. I think she needs me to give her some love. Hope you all have a restful Sunday full of good football! I know I have laundry and a dirty house waiting for me. LOL

See you Peeps in the Pasture!

Where is Karrie?

Well, the only reason I would disappear is... work. Work is a little crazy right now as people are  starting to panic about missing out on the $8000 home credit for first time home buyers. So what does that mean? Everyone is trying to cram a mortgage loan in at the last minute. It is going to be INSANE for the rest of this month and probably all of next month. I am sooooo not looking forward to this BUT it is what it is, right? RIGHT?

I am so bummed because I was on a roll with sharing my cards with all of you. Sigh... I am going to try sneaking in some stamping (as much as possible) but I also need to spend time with the hubster and my sweet babies, Molly & Bailey. Speaking of my sweet babies, I better go let them. They are outside checking the backyard for the "bag guys" right now, aka kitties. No, no, NO! They would never hurt the kitties, they were raised with them and just want to play with them. I am telling you, they are truly "sweet babies!!"

Be right back...

Okay, I am back, YEAH! And...I have a card to share today...WOOT! WOOT!

 

For this fun card I used the Limited Edition Monkey Business stamp set from Odd Bird Planet. I also used another die cut card from Creative Cuts & More. Card making made easy. Something that I really need right now. LOL

So enough about my card. It is still pretty early and hubby is asleep still. This is a miracle since he NEVER sleeps in. He is ALWAYS up by 3am (or earlier). Crazy, I know. Maybe he is getting his rest cause he knows it is going to be a busy day with football. Especially with the Vikings, Cowboys & Cardinals playing at all different times. Anywho, I better get some stamping in while I can.

Hope you all have a FANTASTIC Sunday!

I survived!

Yessirree!! I made it to TUESDAY! Woohoo!!! LOL

I kicked butt at work yesterday and even took a few names. I plan on doing the same again today. I just hope my boss is ready for me! Poor guy, I think someone should have warned him about me. But then...what fun would that have been??? hahahaha

Enough about work, wanna see my card for today? I know Dana does...

 

This little guy is from the Limited Edition Squirrel set from Odd Bird Planet. One of my FAVORITE stamp sets EVER! The squirrels crack me up! Just thinking about them brings a smile to my face! I am definitely going to have to pull this set out more often. Yeah!

Alrighty then, I am off like a prom dress.

See you later!!

Yeah for Mondays...

Okay, so...not really. It is actually my least favorite day of the week. LOL

Right now I am looking forward to 4pm cause at 4pm, I will be racing for the door and heading home. YEAH! 

But enough about my Monday blues, how about a card?

I made this card with my Edgar owl stamp, happy birdie to you saying and popped top present from Odd Bird Planet. The card is from Creative Cuts & More. Super cute & super easy!

So there you have it. A little something for your viewing pleasure.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Monday!

Havin' a Hootin' Good Time!

Hubby & I have already been out to get some coffee & breakfast and are now sitting on the couch catching up on Criminal Minds & Bones. As soon as Bones is over I am headed to the office for a little stamp time. YES! It feels so good to enjoy stamping again. I feel so inspired. Just wish I had my Sis and Dana here stamping with me.

So far, my weekend has been very relaxing! I even did some stamping yesterday...WOOT! WOOT! I still have some laundry to finish today but other than that? I am FREE!! YEAH!!!

I made this card with the What a Hoot stamp set from Hero Arts. The fab die cut card is from Creative Cuts & More made out of my FAVE Bazzill Textured Cardstock. YUMMY! LOL

Alrighty then, I better hit the road. Happy Sunday Peeps!

See ya later,

Hi Pumpkin...

Whatcha up to today? Anything special? Me? Welllllll... my house is clean and I am currently doing the laundry so my day is looking GOOD! In fact, it is looking sooooo GOOD that I am about ready to clean off my stamp desk and get CREATIVE! Woot! WOOT!

 

I made this card using the just-ate-a-pumpkin-owl stamp and the hi pumpkin saying from Odd Bird Planet. The die cut card is from Creative Cuts & More. I used my waterbrush & re-inkers for coloring. Such a fun little card.

So there you have it. Something to get you into the fall mood! I think an apple crisp is in my future as well as stamping. Yeah, definitely, that sounds YUMMY and will seal the deal on the whole "fall thing!" LOL

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!

Peace in the Pasture Peeps!

Hello Thursday...

Can you tell Friday to hurry up and get here? Cause my vacation high is gone and I am in need of the weekend.

Do you have big plans this weekend? I don't. I am hoping that Robert and I can take in a movie and get the house cleaned but other than that...I see stamping in my future. Lots of stamping. YEAH!

 

All stamps used to make this card are from Odd Bird Planet. I think I am going to need to dress this little lady for Halloween. The bag can be a trick or treat bag, don't you think? She is such a sassy little thing. LOL

Oh geez, look at the time. I best get my rear in gear.

See you Peeps tomorrow!

Happy Hump Day!

It's already the middle of the week. Can you believe it? Time is flying. FAST. Before you know it, it will be 2010. Before you know, I am going to be 39...then 40.  Yikes! I don't know if I am ready for 40. Not that 40 is old. I actually think it is the new 20, don't you? I knew you would agree with me. LOL

Am I babbling again? Sorry. My mind is running crazy right now. UGH! I think I will just shut my pie hole and flash you another card. LOL

 

While I was over at Dana's I had a chance to play with some of her Hero Arts owls. Oh my word, this little guy is so CUTE! And these colors? I would NEVER, EVER have thought to put them together and yet... I LOVE THEM! That BG paper really makes the card. OH! Did you see what I did with the button? I didn't have any thin ribbon so I cut a tiny strip of paper and used it like ribbon. So happy with how that turned out. But enough about me and my card. LOL 

I am off to get ready for work. Hope the rest of your work week goes by super fast!

See you Peeps later!
