My life at 40...

I couldn't resist...

I was messing around on the internet one night, browsing through some of the Lockhart Stamps and tumbled across these little gems: 

Don't you find yourself in this kind of situation a lot? Okay, so maybe not you, but me? It seems like I am in HOT WATER all the time. And why is that? I really have no clue. I am waiting for someone to shed some light on the subject for me. LOL 

Card Deets: 

• Stamps: All from  Lockhart Stamps
• Paper: Peach Parfait, Baja Breeze, Poison Ivy
• Inks: Tuxedo Black & Copic Markers
• Misc: Corner Rounder, Ribbon, Buttons & Twine

Alright, well, I am off to find the bottom of my desk and see if I can't whip out another card before I hit the sack. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Pancho, I hope your birthday today was a FABULOUS one!! Sorry I didn't get to talk to you. I guess your family was "hooking you up" with a fun day (at least I hope they were!!). I love you & miss your face!! xoxoxox

Okay, really, this is the LAST Halloween card...

I promise. LOL

These stamps are just too cute though. I am sure you can understand why I would want to keep playing with them, right?

Isn't he the cutest? I mean, c'mon! And that saying? PERRRRRRRFECT!!!

Card deets:

Oh! Before I forget, make sure you stop by my post HERE and leave a comment for your chance to win 240 yards of black divine twine. Don't know what I am talking about? Well hello, where have you been? This is what I am talking about:

It...could...be...YOURS!! YEAH!!

So check out the deets HERE and leave me a quick note. Hurry, don't delay, the clock is ticking!! 

Alrighty then, see y'all tomorrow!

I'm still focused on Halloween, sorry...

You know me, always late...with EVERYTHING! LOL

I made the following card with some cute stamps that my friend Esther surprised me with for my birthday in September. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness as no one ever (correction, hardly ever) buys me stamps. Isn't that funny? Do you ever experience that?

Anywho, here is my little skeleton card:

• Paper: Basic Grey, Black, Purely Pomegrante & Certainly Celery

I have one more Halloween card to share tomorrow and then I will move on to Fall, Christmas, Birthday, etc. LOL

See y'all later!

Hey, don't forget to leave a comment HERE for your chance to win a spool of Black Divine Twine!!

Tidings of Joy & Merry Christmas to you!

Today I have two for the price of one. YEAH!

These images from Leanne Ellis Designs courtesy of Sugar Nellie are so pretty...

and another variation...

I was stuck on the above colors, can you tell? Puts you in the Christmas spirit, doesn't it? I know. Christmas in July, gotta love that.

Card deets:

• Stamps: Leanne Ellis Designs, saying from A-muse (on both cards)
• Paper: White, Red, DP from American Crafts (Christmas)
• Inks: Black Versafine & Copic Markers
• Misc: Ribbon, Brads, Glitter Pen

Today is the last day of my vacation, I won't kid you, I am a little bummed about that. I should have taken two weeks off. Kicking myself in the butt about that one. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Alright, well, I'm outta here for now.

Thanks for stopping by!

I wish...

for you to have a wonderful day today! I, myself, have a TON of stuff to get done today before I leave for California this afternoon. Laundry being the number 1 thing. YIKES! I also want to get a couple of cards made so that I have something to post while I am gone. Like I said, so many things to do...LOL

CARD DEETS:

• Stamps: Leanne Ellis by Sugar Nellie
• Paper: Cosmo Cricket, Always Artichoke & Apricot Appeal
• Inks: Black Versafine, Copic Markers
• Misc: Orange RicRac, Button & Twine

By the way, how is the color on my photo? Better? I changed the setting on my camera to landscape at the suggestion of a fellow stamper. I definitely think the color "pops" more, don't you?

Alright, I need to get busy. Hope you all have a wonderful Easter tomorrow!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Do you love mermaids?

My friend Eliza does. I was thinking about her when I made this card...

 

She will probably see it posted on my Facebook page before she gets it in the mail. Yes, I am bad like that. I make all these cards for people then hold them hostage for unknown reasons. What can I say? It's just how I roll...LOL

CARD DEETS:

• Stamps: Mermaid is from Paula Best
• Paper: White from Papertrey Ink, Purple, Blue & Lavender
  
• Inks: Black Versafine & Copic Markers
  
• Misc: Bling, Sakura Glitter Pen, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

I think that's a wrap for today, hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Won't you join me for coffee?

I am sipping single today as my husband has abandoned me for Monster Energy drinks. WHAN! Do those energy drinks really work? I mean, seriously? Cause I would prefer a nice latte over those drinks any day of the week!!

CARD DEETS:

• Stamps: Coffee set by There She Goes; saying & small latte from A-Muse
• Paper: Going Grey, Garden Green, Cryogen White from Cutcardstock.com & Black suede paper
• Ink: Black Versafine, Garden Green
• Misc: Sakura Glitter Pen, Dot Embossing Folder (it is hard to see from the picture but the black suede paper has been embossed) & White Ribbon
  

This was a fun card to make. The embossed black suede really looks sharp. I wish my photo taking skills were better so that you could see it. I really need to start playing with my camera settings & how I take photos. You don't learn unless you try, right? RIGHT!

Well my friends, I better hit the road. I have eye surgery this morning on my right eye. Apparently I have a vein that is leaking fluid near my retina & it needs to get fixed ASAP. Keep good thoughts for me & I will see you all tomorrow (hopefully)!

Thanks for stopping by!
