Thank you for all you wonderful comments and well wishes for my MIL she is doing very well. I believe in the power of prayer! She is out of the hospital but not home yet. She sends out cards to so many people. I am going to be working on making some cards for her to mail out to people. My 2 sister in laws make cards as well and we try to keep her in homemade cards but it is nearly impossible :) if you would like to encourage her and help us make some cards you can mail them to me and I will get them to her. This is her ministry and so many people benefit from her words of encouragement, birthday,anniversary wishes,sympathy cards. No matter what the occasion is she sends them out. Besides being a teacher she is also a ministers wife and has been such a bright light to so many people. My address is

Congratulations Mary! I will contact you by e-mail shortly to find out where you want me to send your new stamp to!
Also I am working on downsizing my scrap booking/card making stash and would like to know if you think it is a bad idea to offer giveaways of used items as long as they are marked as used? I know I wouldn't care if I won something used as long as it labeled as being used. Anyway would love your input on this.

Thanks,

Teresa

Scrappy Scavengers Shimmering Shamrocks Blog Hop 3/13 - 3/19

2011-03-13T08:00:00.073-05:00

/script>>Welcome to Scrappy Scavengers Shimmering Shamrocks Blog Hop! If you have come from Anita's then you are on the right track. If not then you should start at Tanya's WOW what a crazy couple weeks around here. I wasn't sure if I was going to make this blog hop. Everything was on track. I planned my project, and bought some more materials and planned on doing the project last weekend. But, we got the call that my DH mom was getting a liver transplant. Great news! Seeing how he had just talked to her and they had told her she was still probably 6 months away from getting a new liver and only 2 months to live. She had the transplant and is doing well. Still not out of the woods yet but so far so good. Please Pray for her and her continue healing and also pray for the family who lost a love one that unselfishly donated a liver to save my mother in laws life. Well I made it home and finished my project! I hope you enjoy. This is a page I am adding to a scrapbook I have been making for a dear friend of ours. I am attempting to scrapbook events from the first year of her little girl's life. Some time in the near future I am hoping to post the whole book. The requirements for this hop were GREEN AND BLING Thank you Tanya for allowing me to play along.

Thank you for stopping by today. Today's blog candy will be Ornate Blossom from stampin up.

I will be using Random.org to choose a winner. All you have to do is follow my blog and leave a comment. That's it, easy as can be. Here is the line up just in case you get lost along the way. Have a great week and don't forget to leave a way for me to get in touch with you in case you are the winner of my blog candy!
Thanks for hopping!

Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 46

2011-02-26T17:23:00.002-06:00

Today I made this card for my nephew using create a critter for the cow and the barn. I used Old West Cartridge to make the sign. I used the Hide contour feature to hide the word BARB -E-CUE. I also used Wobbles to put the cow into motion. I know my nephew is only 2 but I think he will have fun see this little cow wobble. He lives so far away I love talking to him on the phone. The sentiment I love Moo is from My Pink Stamper More punny-licious stamp set. The cows face is from Critter face set at Peachy Keen Stamps. The cow is larger than life because it is for a 2 year old. Just keep that in mind :)

Valentine Banquet

2011-02-13T08:29:00.000-06:00

Happy Sunday Morning! whew what a busy weekend this has been! Friday night and Sat morning our church hosted a tele marriage Seminar. It was great and believe me I was not in the mood for it, but glad we went. Then Sat evening we had a Valentine Banquet to honor the Widows of the congregation. This was the first time for us to have it at this church. We had 5 widows come out of 15. I am so excited. I just love this event. Paul and I have been doing it for about 9 years now. It is kind of our Valentine gift to each other. Here is a picture of the invitation I made to invite them all. I just love the peachy keen stamps and my cricut. I can't imagine doing a project with out them. My husband also got me 5 more cartridges. $103 total shipping and tax. Great deal over at custom crops! Well I must run. Got to leave for church in 20 mins. Hope everyone has a blessed Sunday in Fellowship with your Christian family!

Teresa

Throwback Thursday Challenge

2011-02-03T16:02:00.001-06:00

For this weeks challenge we are suppose to use "Just Because" & "Wild Card" cartridges & make sure your card has a "Stamped Sentiment" on it. I don't have the "Just Because" So I went with the "Wild Card" I used the Tri-fold card and the bird and branch is also a feature on this cart. The stamped sentiment is on the second leg of the tri-fold. Not my favorite card but part of these challenges is thinking outside the box right? Not to mention day 3 stuck inside and missing work all because of a little "ice". Have a blessed day!

Throwback Thursday Challege over at My Creative Time with Emma

2011-01-28T15:02:00.000-06:00

This challenge was to use one of the paper dolls and to use embossing. I love these two cartridges. You can do so many different things with them. They have so many extras. I chose to make this wedding cake card. It looks much better in person. I had a hard time getting the picture to come out. This was a fun challenge to do. When someone asks me what are the must have cartridges. I would definitely choose these two :) Hope you enjoy.

My Pink Stamper is having a challenge for her birthday. We are suppose to make a birthday project. I used Playtime cartridge to make this cute little girl. I think it turned out great for a birthday card for a little girl. What do you think?

Great deal at Michaels.

2011-01-07T15:30:00.000-06:00

Wow has been a crazy time. Stepped into michaels today and big surprise they apparently had a great sale this week on Cartridges. They only had a couple left but I got Sweathart's and A Child's Year for only 9.99 each. it is something to walk out of michael's with 2 cartridges for $20. Wish I had know about this earlier in the week. However, Probably a good thing I didn't LOL.

Hi Everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend! I am busy working on Christmas like everyone else. I have projects going on all around me and am trying to finalize some of my gift giving ideas! Always so many Ideas and never enough time to put them into action :) If you having had a chance to see the wonderful Wagon my DH and i made for our nephews check it out here Cricut and Woodworking! I used my cricut to cut out the letters that I used as a Template for the Blocks. We are finishing up wagon number two hopefully this weekend for one of our Nephews for Christmas. 2 year olds are sooooo fun! I hope to have some more projects in the near future that my husband and I do together. It is so fun to mix our two hobbies. Also if you haven't join the Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge #43 Please do so. They are going to give away some copic markers if they have 100 entries so come on and lets break that 100 mark!

Here is my birthday card for the Pink stamper challenge. I used Hoppy Birthday stamp from My Pink Stamper "Punny-licious stamps! Don't you just love her stamps. I hope to one day have them all. I used several stamps from peachy keen to put the face on this little frog. I think it turned out pretty good. I used my stampin up markers and just colored the part of the stamp I wanted to put the smile and each eye on it.
Well my DH is waiting for me to get those letters cut out for the 2nd wagon so I must run! Have a great weekend everyone! Hope your Christmas plans are coming along because no matter what time is not standing still and Christmas will be here before we know it!

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #41

2010-12-04T20:05:00.000-06:00

Peachy Keen Stamps Challeng #41

I am so excited to be doing a challenge! It has been way too long. This has been a fun card to make and my first one with my Cricut Expressions that my mom and dad got me on Black Friday! Yeah Mom and Dad! All we had to do with this one was to make an encouraging card. I hope you find this encouraging!
Have a great day!

Teresa
P.S. If you have a minute please check out my last 2 posts. One is a wooden wagon we made for my nephew. Hint: I used my cricut for the letter templates and the other is a shrinky dink project I did with my nieces over Thanksgiving. Would love to know what you think.

Shrinky Dink Bracelets

2010-12-04T19:55:00.000-06:00

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to post a picture of the Shrinky Dink Bracelets my nieces made over Thanksgiving! We had a lot of fun making these. I used Peachy Keen stamps for some of the faces. I also learned something very valuable. I made a bracelet and did not protect it with something and when I got it wet you guessed it it smeared. We tried some spray on with these and it didn't work either. We are going to try a different kind of sealer. Will let you know if I find something that works. If you use something please let me know! I used Doodle charms to cut out all these cute little charms with my Cricut. It was a little tough getting them to cut out but was well worth the effort. The more detailed the cut the harder. I even tried the deep cut blade. I used the kind of shrinky dink you can print on and put my markers in first to outline and then changed out the blade and mult icut 4 times. Before I cut I hid all the inside features using DS. I can't wait to make an Easter bracelet. Doodle charms has some cute charms for that. I am also thinking this might be a cute project for the Valentines Banquet we have held for our Widows at our past congregations. So many possibilities!

Wood VS Cricut!

2010-11-30T22:03:00.000-06:00

Well I told you in an earlier post that I had found a way to mix my love for the cricut with my husbands love for wood working. Here is what we came up with. I cut these letters out first using Winnie the Pooh font. I cut it out in vinyl and then I put it on the wood and cut out the letters using a scroll saw. My husband did the rest. He hand cut the dove tails and cut the wheals out. He also started with a big block of wood that he cut to make the blocks and used a router that cut out the groves in both sides to add the letters too. I am very proud of this project that my husband and I did together. It is the first woodworking project that Paul has done since before he was sick 3 years ago. I am very glad that I was able to be a part of this. We presented this wagon to my nephew last week. He will be 2 in Jan. He loved it and played with it alot. We are currently working on another one for another nephew who turned 2 at the beginning of the month. We are going to give this to him at Christmas. If you want more information on how we made this wagon please leave me a comment on this blog with a way to get a hold of you and I will get you more information.

cricut expression is in the car!!!

2010-11-26T11:29:00.000-06:00

What's going on???

2010-11-06T11:35:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted anything in the last couple of days. I am super excited. I haven't had a chance to work on some of the challenges but I have been working on a special project with my husband that I hope to post in the future. We are combining my love for paper crafting(using my cricut) and his love for woodworking to make some really cool birthday/Christmas presents. I am soooooo excited and will be posting more in the new future! I can't wait for you all to see how creative my husband is. He was very ill and we almost lost him a couple years ago. He had to have a tracheotomy and had a trech for 2 1/2 years. during this time he was not allowed or able to do woodworking. It is so incredible now to see him well and back working with wood. Side Note: If you or someone you know suspects that they may have Sleep Apnea please have a sleep study done. It is not something to be ignored. You can die from it and it can cause so many other complications. So Please Please Please take it from a family that has lived through a nightmare to take care of this and don't just ignore it. Ok I need to get back to our special little project. I hope to get some challenges completed tonight after dark. I need the daylight hours to work on our special little project :)

God Bless,

Teresa

Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday's Week #4 Challenge

2010-10-30T13:23:00.000-05:00

I made this Snowman ornament for Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday's Week #4 challenge

It was super easy. I don't have any of the snowmen faces but I do have some snowmen from Peachy Keen so I just used my markers to highlight the face part of the stamp and added it to this cute snowman. used white ribbon to attach the three circles and the top hat I cut from Everyday Paperdolls. A few buttons some more ribbon and there you have a cute little Christmas ornament. This would be a GREAT Project for the kids to make for their Grandparents, Aunts and uncles ext.

Well I am off to make a bunch of cookies for our trunk and treat tomorrow night after church.

IT'S FALL Y'ALL!!!!! I love this time of year!

God Bless,
Teresa

PS, Sorry about the blurry picture. I had to use my cell phone. Someone (I'm not going to say who because I was the last one with our camera) lost the camera :(

Creative time with Emma Challenge

2010-10-29T18:36:00.000-05:00

Today's challenge was to use Celebrations and make a Christmas card. Well I don't have Celebrations so I pulled out Doodle Charms and this is what I ended up with. Happy Holiday's and the eyes and mouth are both stamped using Peachy Keen stamps and I used my cuddle bug to emboss the snowflakes and Santa's beard. this cute ribbon I found at Micheal's. I used Stampin up punches to cut the red and white ovals at the bottom for the words Happy Holiday's.

If you wander why I haven't posted in awhile please read my last couple posts on my blog :)

HO HO HO the Holiday's are upon us!!!

Teresa

Working hard!

2010-10-23T11:30:00.000-05:00

Ok my friends. Please stick with me while I am under construction. I am really missing my creating right now. We are busy this weekend moving things around in the house to get it ready for Fostering. We have agreed to take up to 4 children so currently have a guest bedroom and my craft room that we are converting into two children bedrooms. I can't believe all the stuff I am having to go through to downsize in my craft room. I have so many things I bought when I started scrap booking that I no longer use. I think I will donate some of it to our church. I am really glad I am doing this because I think it will free me up to do more. Sometimes we get bogged down with all the stuff! I am also going through a ton of cloths that I am going to get rid of. Our church collects clothes and household items and give it to a organization that helps Single mothers in need. So Another great opportunity to get rid of stuff and help others. This purging is really exciting. We are collectors so I am very glad to be getting rid of stuff. So I hope to be back up and posting soon!

Update

2010-10-18T18:47:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry I have not posted anything in the last week. I had a great weekend with the sister-in-laws in Arlington weekend before last. We went to a card making class at Jennifer's house and I have 4 really cool cards to show you that we made there. I will also post a link to her blog when I add the pictures. Things have been so busy around here since I got back. It is amazing how much I must really get done over the weekend. I didn't have much time around the house this past weekend either. I am also starting to box up my craft room and move it into our bedroom. So the downsizing begins. I would love someones input on how to go about doing this. So if you have ever moved your craft room from a full room to small corner of a room please let me know the process you went through. Having said that I am soooooooooooo excited to be doing this. Crazy right? Well we have started the process of fostering to adopt and we need to get the rooms set up for the Home study. I can't tell you how super excited I am to be finally in this place. My husband and I have waited almost 20 years for this. So I can honestly say I am excited about giving up my craft room. I will try to post later tonight or later this week the cards that we made last weekend and link to Jennifer's web page. Also please add My husband and I to your prayer list as we begin this process and pray for all the abused and neglected children and their parents that are out there. It would obviously be our hope that no children and parents would find themselves in the situation that leads to having children removed from a home but it happens and as always the best result would be for the family to be healed and reunited. This just isn't always possible and I believe these children deserve a loving home to grow up in.

God bless,

Teresa

Another Christmas Card

2010-10-02T13:03:00.000-05:00

Here is another card I made for me to take next weekend to take to my scrappin weekend. I cut enough to make 12 of these. I really need to get some more kits together. This Gingerbread man is from Stretch your imagination. I embossed the background with snowflakes cuddlebug embossing folder and the Happy Hollidays is from stmapin up Warmest Regards. I also used a peachykeen stamp for the face. Lots of fun! I love comments so please let me know what you think about this card and also let me know how you organize things to take to a swarm.

Princess birthday card

2010-10-01T11:40:00.000-05:00

I made this card for a little girl at church.
She was turning 3 and like most little girls she was into princesses. I used everyday paper dolls and cut out the doll and the princess doll clothes. I used my peachy keen everyday faces for her face.

This was a slider card so I hope she didn't break it. I don't know, maybe because I was in a hurry I had a hard time getting the sliding to work correctly. She seemed to like it.

This frog is from create a critter. I think he turned out soooooo super cute! I know he will show up on some other cards for sure. I used some eyes from the stamp set from peachy keen that goes with this cart. I had to stamp one eye at a time but I think they turned out great. Hoppy Birthday is from one of My Pink Stamper stamp set. I am going to love her stamps such great sayings. I need to get more :)

This is the front of the card. I got the castle from My paper dolls cart as well. I don't know if I should admit this but it wasn't until our little friends dad said look the princess and the frog are going back into the castle. That that even occurred to me. LOL It worked out great! Hope you enjoyed this Slider card. It was fun to make. Would love to hear from you all and know what you think about this card. If you have time please leave a comment. Have a great day!

Another My Pink Stamper Challenge!

2010-09-30T23:32:00.000-05:00

Over at my pink stamper we were to make something for Fall or Halloween. I cut this wagon from Dress up paper doll and the pumpkins and ghost are from Peachy keen. The Loads of love sign I just stamped the words on an piece of Orange card stock and cut it out. The stamp is from Loads of love stamp set from stampin up. Don't you love this time of year????? I used my stmapin up markers to color the ghost and pumpkins. If you like what you see I would love your comments. Hope you all have a great evening and if you haven't checked out peachy keens web site they are having a blog hop with some great giveaways! It looks like they are also having a great sale. Also over at the pink stamper she is giving away her Spooky Puns stamp set. And My Creative time is offering a discount on her video. So lots going on this weekend.

My Pink Stamper Challenge. Make Something with a Bird!

2010-09-25T01:13:00.001-05:00

Joy did a slider card over at Every Day Cricut so I thought I would give it a try. This bird house is from Stretch your imagination.

This bird is from Create a Critter.

The face stamp is from Peachy Keen and I just cut a piece of paper to make the funky hat.

I used the top part of the sheep on From My Kitchen to cut out the scalloped oval. The stamp is from MY PINK STAMPER. I am really liking the way these stamps work. They are high quality. I also like the way they are displayed. It is very easy to quickly read them and see what one you want to grab.

I hope you enjoy. This was pretty easy to make. It was a little time consuming. I am going to try to make one with a princess and frog on it for a friends little girls birthday.

My Creative Challenge "Old School!"

2010-09-24T22:23:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone! If you are new to my blog Welcome. I am really enjoying the comments that I am getting. They are very encouraging. I started this blog at a time in my life when things were not going very well and I needed a place in my life that was all positive. This has been an incredibly positive place and I am loving it. The Paper Crafting World is full of amazing, upbeat people! WOW this weeks challenge was to go old school and get out those stamps. NO CRICUT ALLOWED! What, are you kidding???? Anyway it was fun getting the old scissors out and cutting everything. Not to mention the stamps. I haven't used this stampin up stamp set in awhile and it is one of my favorites. The Halloween ribbon is some ribbon I won on a challenge at More than favors. I think it is a fun ribbon and was a good fit for this card. Well, I am off to start another project so check back later and see what I have to post next.

Another Halloween Card

2010-09-16T21:41:00.002-05:00

My Pink Stamper 9/11 Challenge

2010-09-12T17:26:00.001-05:00

Here is the card I made for the 9/11 Challenge at my Pink Stamper. I just want to point out a few things about the card. I decided not to put the ribbon or the picture straight. I wanted this to symbolize that things were out of the norm. Second I did not add a sentiment because I believe that nothing could be said. I wanted the cute Mice singing at the top of there lungs to remind us of the freedom we have. I hope you all enjoy my card. Please take a minute to look around my blog and if you like what you see join and/or leave a comment.

Two Kits made for Big Cardmaking Weekend. Kit 1 & 2

2010-09-10T16:50:00.000-05:00

Ok so I have 2 kits ready to go! Here if the first one. Ok so I know I was going to do all Christmas but when I came across this I just had to make it for a fall card. This is from Pooh and Friends. It was a fun card to make. I am now ready to make 5 more. I used stickles on the branches.

My next card is this cute Christmas card off of Hello Kitty Greeting. I cut it at 3 1/2 and then used brads to make the ornaments. I used my white jell pen to do some outlining as well as some other markers. I used stickles on the bow and star. Happy Holidays is Stampin up Warmest Regards. I know have 8 of these cards ready to make. Well its a start.

A couple updates and then on to crafting!!!!!!!

2010-09-10T11:30:00.000-05:00

I am so excited! My peachy keen order is now in Texas! Amarillo to be exact at least they were at 2 am. I really hope they come tomorrow. I have also FINALLY placed an order and ordered 3 of the Pink Stamper stamp sets. Hopefully I will have them by next weekend! I love getting stuff in the mail! It's like Christmas over and over again.

What I am up to.... Well I am going to my sister-in-laws house the weekend of October 9th to do some card making and hopefully my other sister in law will be there. We try to get-together sometime in Sept/Oct to work on Christmas stuff. So this year I am going with a plan! I know for those of you that know me this is coming as a shock. But I need to make about 175 Christmas cards and I need a plan. Usually I make all the same card but there is nooooooooooo way I'm doing that this year. So my plan is to make card kits to take with me so that I can have lots of fun and just put cards together and finish the details. There will be no thinking involved! Just lots of fun. That means between now and then I have to get busy designing cards and getting all the cuts done and put them in zip lock bags ready to go. I may try to do a video to show you the process I go through. I think I may also work on some of my Christmas presents as well. I sometimes sets of cards to give to people as well as some other things. We will see. I also have some scrapbooking I need to get down but when?????????

Remember there are a lot of giveaways going on and some challenges so get blogging!

Teresa

Hopefully soon to return with some cards to post.

Some More Fall Cards

2010-09-06T14:23:00.002-05:00

This can be used for a Cute Halloween Card!

Use this for Everyday Fall

Wow there is so much going on in the Srapping world today! Robyn over at My Pink Stamper is showing off the new Cricut Create. Emma at My Creative time is having a big week with giveaways everyday. So much fun going on. I went into my craft room to reorganize my big pile of scraps that keep stacking up to the point they are falling over and low and behold I got side tracked and made some cards. I am anxiously awaiting my order from peachy keen stamps and decided I would see how different faces and words change the look of a card. So that is what inspired these two pictures. I also added a picture of the cat in my craft room. Now I really didn't ever plan on having a cat again until this tiny thing showed up at our house so small and starved that I just couldn't but take her in and well once she got big enough to care for her shelf she was suppose to move outside. Well then we took her to the vet and after putting all that money in her well lets just say our outside cat is now an inside cat. She has taken over everything even the dog. LOL Hope you enjoy. Remember to leave comments. I love comments as much as everyone else.

Even though my craft room gets messy the Cat always finds a place to sleep:)

Also I have posted a couple of video's the last couple days and would love to know what you think of those as well.

God Bless,

Cinderella Card from My Creative Time Challenge Last Week

2010-08-31T20:49:00.000-05:00

Hey everyone I have been busy re-editing my video with the Cinderella card I made for my creative time challenge. It is currently uploading onto You tube and hopefully will be able to have it up for your viewing sometime later tonight. I am so excited. I have already made 2 cards that I am planning on making 2 more video's out of. One video is filmed and needs to be edited and the other video needs filmed yet. With all the Fall and Christmas/Winter cards being made on every one's blogs I am so excited about fall being right around the corner. Every season I always think I love this time of year. I love the fall colors, Than I'm ready for Christmas and then I can't wait for spring and the pastels again. Then summer and the bright colors. It is never ending, isn't it! I guess the bottom line is I just love making cards for all seasons!

Have a great evening and stay tune for my next video!

My Pink Stamper Challenge It's Cold Outside

2010-08-28T22:01:00.001-05:00

My pink stamper is having a "Its cold Outside" Challenge. I realized something tonight. I don't have a lot of winter/cold stuff. I used this snowman from Doodlecharms. Not my favorite card at all. I also don't have a whole lot of sayings, so I would really be happy if I won the prize being give out for this challenge. I would love any comments on what cartridge you all like the best with Winter things in it. I used little brads that look like buttons for the snowman's eyes and buttons down the front. I put stickles on the trees to try to make it look like snow. Not really what I was looking for. and I embossed the blue paper with the snowflakes embossing folder. I was looking for some saying along the lines of Let it Snow and couldn't find anything. So I left the top left hand corner blank.

Fall / Thanksgiving Card

2010-08-28T21:55:00.000-05:00

LOL Starting out I was going to make a fall card. You know more towards Halloween, Pumpkins or what not and I ended up with this Turkey! Does that make me a Turkey? LOL You can't see the words in this picture very well but it says happy harvest. He is a cute Turkey but I kindof messed up with the jell pen. So I am so so happy with this one. I really want to make some true fall cards not thanksgiving cards soon!

I am having a great weekend in my craft room! I made this card yest. with a video....However I am having some serious tech difficulty with the video. Every time I render it it comes with a Blue line across the bottom half of the screen. I seem to remember last time this happened we had to format my video first before putting it into movie maker but for the life within me I can't remember how:( And my husband is out of pocket today....So I decided to go ahead and post the picture now and have a video for you later. If any of you have any suggestions please let me know. I would love to get it done today. I hope to have some more projects posted later tonight and maybe tomorrow. I would like to make some fall cards and I need to get some more everyday cards done. Have a great weekend everyone!

Please have a look around my blog and leave comments. I love your comments! I love hearing from you!

Thanks A Bunch

2010-08-28T10:27:00.000-05:00

This is a card I made for my boss and his wife. They took our whole office to a fund raiser benefit with Charlie Pried has the entertainer. There were 10 of us at our table and we had a great time. It was fun to dress up and the food was great. Wonderful evening out. I made this card using cricut create. I think I cut it at 4 1/4 but I am not sure. I had the stamp that says thanks a bunch and added the bananas. It didn't come out so good in the picture. I used my cuddle bug to emboss the back ground. I am really loving in the cuddle bug. I waited a year to get it 1/2 off and am glad I finally got it.

This was a fun card to make for such a fun evening!

Teresa

Wed update

2010-08-25T22:08:00.001-05:00

The week goes by so fast. This is going to be a busy last half of the week for me. Tomorrow night I have a work thing. Friday night the football game and 5th quarter. I hope to have some time this weekend to work on some craft projects. I have so many things that need done that I don't know where to begin. I would like to make Christmas cards this year so I really need to get started on that. I also have some photo album work that I need to get done for some people. Not to mention my own. I would also like to get some dinner invitations sent out. I have always wanted to do a mystery dinner but never got around to it. Several years ago my sister gave me a kit but I never really looked at it. I would like to see if I can't figure that out as well. I seriously would someday like to make another video. I know I say that all the time but have not gotten it done. Hope everyone has a great last 1/2 of a week.

God Bless

I have attached a quick card I made the other day. I used some stamps from stampin up and it is pretty simple.

Throwback Thurs challenge at My Creative Time

2010-08-21T23:08:00.007-05:00

Whew, I just barely made it. The challenge was to FRAME it using paperdoll dress up. I also used pooh and friends to make the frame and I used paperdoll dress up to make the cornucopia and fruit. It was on the page with the pilgrim girl. Happy Thanksgiving came from Wild Card. Hope you enjoy. Please leave comments if you like what you see. If you have never been to my blog before please fill free to look around. I am always looking for new followers:) Emma good one this time. Frame it was a little trying for me!

A "Man" Card!

2010-08-20T09:08:00.004-05:00

It is my goal to finish a couple challenges this weekend and to try to do another video at some point. I love doing video's but they are very time consuming and time is just something I don't seem to have enough of. hmmmmm I doubt I'm the only one:) Anyway thought I would try to post a card everyday this weekend. So here is my first. This stamp was given to my by my sister-in-law. THANKYOU ALLISON I LOVE IT! I'm not sure where she got it from but my husband uses duck tape for everything. He is constantly made fun of because he even carries some in his wallet. It is kind of funny that the same people who make fun of him are the ones that will come and say, Do you have some duck tape in your wallet still, I need it for ....." anyway I hope you enjoy this one. As always I love comments so if you stop by please leave me a comment. Even if you don't like my blog I am always open to good comments and constructive criticism.

Thank you and have a blessed day!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge me Monday

2010-08-15T21:20:00.001-05:00

I wanted to submit card for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge me Monday but I missed the deadline. Oh well. I decided to post my card anyway. It was to include the word Smile in it.

My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

2010-08-14T18:57:00.004-05:00

Wow it has been awhile since I have done a challenge. This weeks challenge was back to school using the Paisley Cartridge. I don't have the paisley cartridge so I used Locker Talk. I made this card for a teacher friend who is starting school. I just wanted to let her know I was thinking about her as she enters a new year.

Mystery Dinner

2010-08-14T15:30:00.003-05:00

I had the most fun with a some friends of ours 9 year old triplets. They came and hung out with me yest while there mom was working and we planned a big dinner for her when she came to pick them up. It was soooo much fun. First the girls picked the name Mystery Italian restaurant. Each one of them made a sign with one of the 3 words. They also made 4 cards. One for appetizer, main course, dessert and salad. We then decorated the dining room like an Italian restaurant and had music playing in the background. Ok here's how it went down. First the 4 cards were part of the centerpiece and there mom had to pick a card and that decided what we were going to eat. Each girl too turns serving and when it was time to serve they wore an apron. It was a lot of fun. We ate in this order. Appetizer, main course, dessert and salad. A lot of fun was had by all. We had for an appetizer some sausage and cheese wrapped in croissants, cheese raviolis, Cesear salad and Texas sheet cake all of which the girls also made. Now for the bad news I didn't get any pictures and their signs and cards turned out sooooo nice. I am going to try to get some pictures to post later from there mom. Here are a couple of pictures of us making things. My room is now a mess and may take a year to get put back together but it was so much fun.

Thinking of you birdie

2010-07-25T22:40:00.001-05:00

I decided to use some different colors on this one. I wish I could find a challenge using orange and pink. Strange colors but I think the card turned out ok.

A litte different

2010-07-25T22:35:00.004-05:00

This card is a little different from what I usually do but I liked the way it turned out. I borrowed one of the boarder embossing dies from my sister in law and made this cute card. I also cut the butterflies out and glued them together to give the 3d effects. They butterflies were cut using a stampin up whole punch. (also borrowed). The because I care is a stamin up stamp as well.

I used stickles to put a little extra touch to the embossed flowers. can't get the full effect from the picture.

Teresa

Whale Wishes

2010-07-25T22:28:00.002-05:00

I cut this wale from Create a Critter. I cut off the water that comes with it and used a stamp from stamin up to make the saying well wishes then glued it on. The sea weed at the bottom is also from the same stampin up stamp set. Not sure what is is called.

Teresa

Dinner and Movie

2010-07-25T22:26:00.001-05:00

This card I made to give to my husband for a free dinner and movie of his choice. I used the Mickey and Friends cartridge. I love the Disney cartridges but wow are they involved!

Howdy

2010-07-25T22:00:00.005-05:00

This horse is from create a critter! I really am loving this cart. I know it is probably considered an old cart by now. LOL any way I was pleasantly surprised with how well this Howdy cut out. Hope you enjoy.

I'm back

2010-07-23T10:22:00.002-05:00

I know you all must think I've fallen off the face of the earth! Well things have been busy lately. Sorry. I am very excited because I'm in arlington, tx for a few days visiting my sister and brother in law. When my sister in law gets home from work we are going to get busy making cards and scrapbooking. I have been looking forward to this trip for a long time. It is hard to goet our schedules worked out so we can get together. Hopefully by sat night or sunday I will have some pictures to add. I haven't given up on making videos I just have to get a rutine going so I cn find the time! So check back later this weekend. I may try to do the challenge for my creatice time.

Thinking of Father Stampin up

2010-06-24T23:51:00.003-05:00

Here is a card I made for Paul's dad for Father's day. I used the stampin up Thinking of Father stamp set and cut out the glasses from another stamped image to make this a little 3D. Not sure if you can tell by the photo or not.

2010-06-18T09:05:00.002-05:00

Wow this has been a week! I am sooooooo glad to have Friday's off. First I need to get caught up on my cleaning. My DH is not feeling well this week and so we have gotten a little behind on house work. He does so much to help me! I am very lucky. I have a couple things I need to get done. First I made my dad's Father day card and forgot to mail it! Sorry dad its going to be late. I also have to get Paul's dads card made and in the mail. Next I need to come up with a cute project for throwback Thursday. We are using one of my favorite carts Paper dolls! Yeah! But the twist is 3d hmmmmmmmm wander what I'll do. If we go into town maybe I'll swing by Target and see if there is anything in the dollar bin that needs decorated. I don't have any idea at this point. I need to film a video sometime this weekend. And I need to work on scrapbook pages to add to my friends baby book I made here. I think I'm going to try to do a baby smiles page and a fourth of July page. Eating, and crawling, walking, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines day and Easter will probably finish it up. How much can I complete this weekend?????? When I'm done I will do a short video of the pages. I may even add into the video how I made one of the pages. Don't worry after that I am on to a couple other projects I am working on for other people so there is plenty in store. Maybe one day I will get to my own projects. Now on to cleaning so I can get started!

2010-06-14T20:52:00.002-05:00

Wow today was a really long day! It was definitely a Monday. I was hoping to work in my craft room tonight but it is just not going to happen. I would really like to know how those of you that work find time to get into the craft room. Some days after multi-tasking all day I just can't get it together enough to get in there and do the things I would really like to do.
Hopefully will get in there tomorrow night and get some things done.

Episode #2

Anyway this one is not my usual style but since it was a challenge I decided to do things a little different. Hope you like it.

Baby Shower

2010-06-12T16:09:00.004-05:00

We had a great time at the baby shower. I think at one time we counted 36 people squeezed into my living room. It was busting at the scenes and we were having a great time! This is the card I made to go with my gift. Part of my gift was the thank you cards I made the video of earlier this week. I also put together a photo album for her. I have only completed some of the pages and when I finish the rest I will put together a video of them all. Hope you all have a great weekend. By the way I used Create a Critter a lot in the pages I have completed so far.

My Very 1st video! Hope you enjoy!

2010-06-09T06:52:00.003-05:00

Wow after 4 days of redoing my video I think I finally got it to work! Now if I can just figure out how to post it on here. LOL. Anyway I hope you enjoy. I have learned a lot and will have another video out soon. I hope to have the baby book done for the shower on Sat. I haven't had time to start it yet but I am planning on keeping it simple. I hope to do a video of that. Have a great week!

Thank you Baby cards

2010-06-05T13:01:00.000-05:00

Ok I stayed up until 3:30 last night working on part of my present for the Baby Shower next weekend. I am liking the way the thank you cards are turning out. I still am waiting on my hubby to make it back with the camera so I can Post a picture. I am thinking about filming a video of how I made them. We will see........ I have so many projects to do today. Laundry, sweeping, dusting, all the house duties. Dinner at church tomorrow so need to get food together. In the craft room I have to get the baby album done. Still trying to decide how I want to do it. I was going to do first but instead of saying firsts, I think I am just going to do a page for different things. Riding in a car, sleeping, bathing, family picture, a page for a picture with grand parents, sisters, mom, dad, and major holidays, maybe crawling, and eating..... We will see. I may do a video of the finished product if time allows. I also need to finish my nieces album. I am only 9 months late on that one.... sorry! I haven't scrapped much of my own stuff. I am just curious if anyone out there is totally caught up on their scrap booking and what that really looks like. I really need to get some cards made for my dh to use at work. He does a great job of sending out cards when I have them organized for him. It is such a great ministry for both of us.
Well the laundry beeper is going off so I guess my few minutes of rest is over. Will let you know how much I get done today. I still need to post the challenge for My Creative time blog as well.
Did I mention is it really hot here in Texas! I hope to get in the little blow up above ground Pool tonight when my DH gets home.

My Pink Stamper Challenge

2010-05-31T22:16:00.000-05:00

Had a busy crazy weekend. It was a lot of fun. Swimming, playing eating and visited a friend who has practically a petting zoo at there house and of course Church. But after everyone left and things got quiet I made this card for my dad who likes to Garden for Fathers Day. Hope you enjoy. I used everyday paper doll and on the inside I used a stampin up stamp.

Awsome Great News!

2010-05-29T15:42:00.001-05:00

Some friends are coming for a last min visit! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! We will have children in the house for a couple days! I love the sound of kido's. I can't wait until Paul and I adopt. All you people out there who complain about your kids have no idea how quiet and lonely a house is without them. Ok I'll get off my soap box. We are trying to get our pool up and running so maybe the boys can swim on Monday. I hope it works out. Ok so I am going to try to get my fathers day card made and up before they get here tonight around 10:00 for the Pink stamper challenge. I will get it up as soon as possible!

Hope everyone is having a great memorial day weekend! Mine is turning out to be pretty supper special!

New Card "Shut up Joe"

2010-05-28T11:17:00.000-05:00

Happy Friday everyone!

Ok I am usually not this rude. My husband asked me to make a card after golfing with Joe. It was only Paul's second time to go golfing and he kept missing the ball. I'm not saying that Joe made fun of Paul but apparently Paul was saying shut up a lot. Hince the Shut up Joe card. Hope Joe appreciates this card.

I used the Sports Mania Cartridge to make this one. And I used my software and the Don Juan to weld the letters together for the words. I drew stitches around the letters but it is hard to see that on this picture. The thinking of you is from the stampin up set Warmest regards. I used Stazon Timber Brown ink.

shhhhhhhhhh

2010-05-25T14:32:00.000-05:00

OK so I am at work....blogging from my cell phone. I just wanted to see if I couldJ HereLs the deal, Ilm dying to get back in my craft room.

Off to work! Have a great day!

Little unwelcome visitor

2010-05-19T21:38:00.000-05:00

Ok so I went into my craft room tonight to make a quick card for a friend who has had a rough week and low and behold when I opened my drawer at my cricut station to get out my cutting mat I found a bunch of torn up paper and matting stuffed in the drawer. Yes you guest it a mouse has decided to make his home in with my cricut items. I am not found of these little creatures even though they make cute cards they are not welcome in my space. War has officially been started. That little guy is going down. So needless to say It may be a few days before I get up the nerve to go back in there. My husband will have to show proof that the dead mouse is leaving the house in the trap that he set.
I love everything about living in the country but mice and snakes. If you have a story about the adventures of little mice and how you got them to go away please feel free to share.

Back Home

2010-05-17T16:10:00.001-05:00

Well it has been a busy couple of days. We made it back from Tenn late last night. Wow what a trip. Rain leaving Nashville all the way to Decaturville where we went to church with some dear friends. Then when we got about 50 miles east of Little Rock we ran into more storms until about an hour on the other side of Little Rock. The rest of the trip was just long. But we made it home and are resting today and getting all those little things done. While I was on the trip My Pink Stamper put out a challenge to use Yellow, Brown and Green. I decided to make a thank you card for a dear friend at church who babysat our puppy and have used these colors. Hope it is not too late to enter the challenge.

I used the following to make this card:
Thank So Much - Stampin up stamp from Nice and Easy. I just used the words
Bone and Dog print Brads are from Micheal's.
The Dog was cut out at 3 inch from the Animal Kingdom Cartridge Page 128 Dog #5
The Ribbon - is 2 ribbons glued together
The Paper was stamped using ART GONE WILD- Cube #987 using Versa Mark ink.

Hope you enjoy.

Trip to Tennessee

2010-05-14T09:02:00.000-05:00

Well I am now in AR heading toward Tenn. Looking forward to being with my family. It has been 5 years since we have all been together. My mom always says wedding and funerals are what brings us together since we are so spread out. I am dying to be in my craft room but have to wait until monday to get back to it. I thought I would post a scrapbook page that I did last year of my two nephews. It is probably way back on my blog somewhere but I just wanted to get something up today. I used the Winnie-the-pooh cartridge! I had to try the sample that they gave in the book because it looked so cute. I think it turned out pretty good!

Wedding Card

2010-05-12T21:27:00.000-05:00

We had a great time and I made this card as a thankyou card to our friends for taking us. If you live in the Abilene Area and you haven't gone to the Ball Ranch you should go. I made this card using the Old West Cartridge. The thank you came from Stampin up Noteworthy.
