Lovely Floral (Martha Stewart)

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone!
I hope you are having a Great Day!
I told you yesterday that I was making
something with my Martha Stewart
Cartridges.... And YUP! I Sure Am!
I've done several cards that I can't wait
to show you this week! Sooo, Here is the
First one I Have done! :o)

(Click on the Photo to Enlarge the Picture)

Card Stock, Ink, Ribbon, Punches - Stampin' Up
Designer Paper - Basic Grey
Cartridge - MS Seasonal Cake Art
(Frame) - I used the Time for Tea Feature and
Cut the Frames out @ 2 3/4"
(Flowers) - I used the Cake Feature and
Cut the Flowers out (2x's) @ 2 3/4"
I cut the flowers out twice because of
Stability.... the flower cut on the cake feature
is very dainty and I thought it needed
an Extra layer since I was adding
Dimensionals to pop it up! :o)
The Sentiment is Computer Generated...
I also used a Quickutz Embossing Folder
called Flowers and put it through my Cuttlebug
I-rock and Signo Gel Pen
Well... I hope you like it... It really is
nice just exploring some of
your Cartridges and that is what
I did.... I decided to explore my
Martha Stewart Cartridges and see
what I come up with! You should try it to,
and let me know what you come up with!
Thanks for stopping by Have an
AWESOME DAY!!!!!

Cold, Snow, FUN!!!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!
I hope you are all off to a great week!
I wanted to post what we did with our boys
yesterday.... Noooo it's not craft related but
it will make for a great scrapbook Page!
My boys go back to school tomorrow and
we wanted to do one last thing with them
before they return to the usual study habits!

YES! Playing in the SNOW! :o)
We had 5 days of Rain before Christmas and
so our Christmas was not White this year!
But Just after Christmas... We got several
Days of just SNOW! I guess to make up for
what we hadn't gotten most of the month
of December! :o)

Soooo... Here are our 3 boys sledding and playing in
the snow... It was a whole 12 degrees outside...
BRRRRR.... I was freezing my butt off! LOL
I don't own Snow boots although I should...
Sooo I had to stand back and take pictures
while the boys played.... My hands were
FREEZING! :o)

Here are all my MEN! They are a
handsome group of Guys! LOL
Hubby is disabled... had a stroke at the age
of 36... So he can not get in the snow
and play... He has a bad Right leg
and Right arm... soooo Winter
time is really difficult for him to
get around... but he wanted to go and
watch the boys play and so we did!
This is them just after we got back... :o)

One last picture of the boys playing
in the snow.... I have more pictures but
I  don't want to overwhelm you with them!
I will have to scrapbook this and maybe then
you will be able to see all the pictures on
a 2 page Layout! One of these days! :o)
I will be back tomorrow with a card....
I'm using my Martha Stewart Cartridges
this week... Sooo most of my post will have that!
Thanks for stopping by and looking!
Have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

But I can't remember which cartridge
I cut this from... I know it was cut @ 3 1/2"

Christmas.... And I'm hoping it
will help improve my photo shots....
All the Supplies are Stampin' Up!
And I used Dimensionals to pop
up the center cut design....
Well I guess that is totally it
for me in 2010! I'm looking forward to

Happily Ever After Wedding Card...

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone!
Well, the week is going by sooo fast!
New Year's day is just around the corner...
Have any of you made Resolutions for the
New Year? ME? Nope... I don't make them
cause I never stick to them! Sooo Why do it if
you're really not gonna try and do it? I guess that's
why I chose not to have any.... All I can do is try to
be the best person I can be and work harder on being
better in the New Year! :o) I did get some time Yesterday
to get my photo downloaded... Sooo I do have another
wedding card for ya! I did see this is my Card Creations
Magazine and Fell in Love with it.... Soooo here it is!

(Click on the Photo to Enlarge the Picture)

I think this is soooo Pretty! The one I seen
was very similar... I changed the embossing cause this
is what I have and my supplies are Stampin' Up...
My ribbon is also different and I added the Silver Hearts
Shape to mine..... My Sentiment is done in my Word Program...
I just LOVE how this turned out... Sooo Elegant....
What do you think? Let me know.... I Love
reading my comments! And thanks for
stopping by to take a look! I guess this
is it for me in 2010!!! My sister should be
posting for you thru the New Year!
I Wish Everyone and Joyous and
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A Late Christmas Card.....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone!
Well I got through my monthly shopping
yesterday thank goodness... I really wasn't
expecting the store to be sooooo busy but
boy everyone from my little town was
there shopping too! I think they were all
getting their shopping done before the snow
storm hit us today! We got NOOO snow
on Christmas just lots, and lots of rain! And
now after an actually dry Nov. and Dec. we are
getting some snow... Not that I like snow mind
you.... It's not my favorite, but it was going
to come sooner or later... :o) I was going to
post another wedding card but because I was
gone all day and by the time I got everything
put away my 7yr. old son wanted me to help him
put together a hole bunch of Dragons he got
for Christmas... That took up the rest of my evening,
so I didn't get to take a picture of my card... Sooo
I'm gonna post a Christmas card instead! LOL
One I haven't shown you of course... I know
Christmas is over... In fact I know because I've
already taken down the tree and all the outside
decor and inside decor.... :o) You guys are saying
WHAT??? YES... I take all that stuff down shortly after
Christmas.... This is my thinking on it.... I believe Christmas
is Wonderful... and it is apart of 2010 sooo.... When 2011 begins
I like to start off fresh and clean.... and soooo I take all my
decorations down and put them away for next year and start
my New Year off with a clean slate! I know you guys may not
think it makes any sense but it does to me! LOL Soooo, that is
why I take down all my stuff before the New Year Begins... :o)

(Click on the Picture to Enlarge)

I sent this card to my sister Mi-Mi!
I believe this is a sketch from Mojo Monday #152!
They really have some great sketches over there!
Anyway everything is Stampin' Up
I used the Double Scallop Punch &
Snowflake Punch by Martha Stewart
And the Oval Circles are Nestabilites
I promise to have another Wedding Card
ready to go for ya tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope
you have an AWESOME DAY!!!
