New Anya and New TGF Paper

More Greeting Farm fun for you today!! At Club Anya, the premier today is Navajo Anya!! She reminds me of Pocahantas and she is oh so pretty!! Make you check out the Club Anya blog to see more samples from the Club Anya design team--- there are some GORGEOUS cards and fabulous ideas over there!!

For my card, I used the new paper pack at The Greeting Farm called "Dirty Rodeo"! I love the colors and fun patterns in the pack and the character paper with the little cowboys are just the cutest! All of the colors in my Anya were taken from the paper and I added some fun Candy Dots as accents on the corners.

I need to get to bed--- but I'll be back tomorrow night with more fun stuff! :)

A new Ian in town...

Ay Laddie.... It's a new Ian--- Meet "Laddie Ian" in his cute (oh sorry, Handsome!) Scottish kilt. He premiered on the Club Anya blog today, so I made up a card for his debut.

The sentiment is from Jessica's new set "Butterfly Wishes"-- available at The Greeting Farm.

I had a chance to use some of the new Stampin' Up colors (and new SU punch) on this card, tied in with an MME plaid paper. LOVE the new SU colors released!!



Back to work tomorrow---- just a few weeks and then I'll be home for good! :) YAY!

Thanks for dropping by! Have a great Monday!

Whipper Snapper Christmas in July

Just a quick post tonight--- Busy, Busy with summer fun stuff! One of my design team buddies had a Christmas in July post-- so I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and post a couple of cards I made for Whipper Snapper with new Fall/Winter Images. PLUS-- You get a two-fer!

I used the same layout for both cards and just swapped out the colors--- the first less traditional for Christmas and the second with the standard red/green.

Images: Whipper Snapper Bentley and Sanders

Sentiments from Anna Wight cling set: Cozy Critters

More stamping time tomorrow--- well, as long as the kids are behaving!! Parker has been having some issues with that request this week-- I think the attention that little Kade has been getting over his sore eyes is causing some jealousy!! I had to repeat the mantra "He's just a little boy, He's just a little boy" several times today through the tongue out snottiness and mouth-backs that I was getting from him. Ugh--- I SO hope he's just getting this out of his system and will be a nice, sweet teenager!! Unfortunately--- I know it will just get worse! I'm in for it!

Have a wonderful Sunday!!

The Buzz on my Birthday!

First---- How about a winner!?! Drumroll please........

Okay--- so now that the fun of presents is over... I finally was able to get my Bumble B. Bear card posted (a new set at All That Scraps in the Cookie Crumbs line by Diane Zechman!) He is just the cutest and I used four of the stamps in this huge set on this one card.

The sentiments are fabulous for not only the adorable images in this set, but several of my other "bee" stamps as well. Totally love em'!

Well my birthday is officially over, but I had a great day. A wonderful lunch with some friends and coworkers, I met one of the new families that will be coming to my daycare (an adorable set of boy/girl twin 4 yr olds!) , my husband and kids got me a shiny new pink Ipod Nano, and my parents took me out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse (and THEY paid!) No cooking or dishes all day!! Now THAT'S a birthday! :)

I finished around four cards tonight--- so it's 4am and I have GOT to get to bed! Eeek... morning is ... well really... it's right now! Oops! Have a great day and Thanks for popping in!!

Let's celebrate!!

Hi Everyone!!! I've done pretty much NO "new" stamping this week... ugh!! But I'm hoping to get some stuff done tomorrow with some "me time" for my birthday!!! Yep... I turn a new number tomorrow!! Good thing I never remember my age!

To celebrate--- How about some blog candy!! Thank you to all of you, my wonderful blog friends for your daily encouragement and kindness!! I have a pile of some random fun stuff that I took a picture of, and I'll also throw in some extras!

Just leave me a comment to be eligible to win and I'll draw a winner on Saturday morning (U.S. CST) Any comment is fine, but if you need an idea of what to comment on... Since I haven't been stamp shopping lately and may have a little birthday money -- what's a new must-have product that I should be looking for--- any fun new papers, accessories, embellishments, storage item?!?
While I'm here... How about another new Whipper Snapper image for some eye candy as well!!

Isn't he cute with his little top hat!! I love the Whipper Snapper mice!

Image is called "Hats off to You" and sentiment is from Anna Wight's "Sweet Expressions" set!

Red Lobster lunch scheduled with some friends tomorrow and then I'll spend the night with the family! Not sure what the plan is, but I'm sure we'll come up with something!

Whipper Snapper Releases!

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of over 175 new image releases from Whipper Snapper Designs and I have to tell you, my wish list for stamps is HUGE!! All of them became available on July 1st--- So make sure you go check out the website to see what all the fuss is about!! It's worth fussing about, trust me!!

So many adorable new animals, sentiments, and more. I'll be posting a handful of samples over the next few weeks--- and I know you'll fall in love with all of them as much as I did!

This is Rhapsody and Sonata--- along with a sentiment from Anna Wight's cling set, "Love at Home".


All That Scraps releases are also up tonight and winners of the free sets are announced on the blog!! I still didn't get my Cookie Crumbs bear card finished, so tomorrow after we get back from Kaiden's surgery, I'll work on it if he's resting comfortably! Thanks for the well wishes and hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with a little boy who had a successful eye surgery and no complications!

Thanks for stopping!

Underwater Birthday Fishes...

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! We had a great long weekend and accomplished a lot. Our garage is the cleanest and most organized that I've ever seen. It was a huge task, but over the course of the weekend, we have it looking great. Next weekend's project: the swingset! Can we accomplish two big projects within a week!?!

I missed a couple of days of sneak peeks for ATS, Underwater Emma from C.C. Designs and the matching AmyR sentiments set "Underwater Sentiments". I also missed Diane's Cookie Crumbs Bumble B. Bear set... so I'll have that card for you tomorrow in time for the All That Scraps Release Party--- Join us at 8:00 ET on the ATS forum for more card samples, chatter, and enabling!! :)

I am off work the next two days for Kaiden's eye surgery. I'll also be home with him Wednesday-Friday... and I'm crossing my fingers that everything goes well. After 2 years of appointments at the University of Iowa, it's time for his Strabismus surgery to correct his eye crossing. It's really obvious when he's tired... but they end up going into each eye and make adjustments to the muscles. It's not supposed to be painful, but he will be put under anestheia and that's always scary!!

Tomorrow is just pre-op day and then surgery is on Tuesday, so I'll be online Monday night for the release party and some distraction!!

I hope you like my Underwater Emma card... this set and Amy's matching sentiments are just adorable-- I loved the colors of this paper for an Underwater card--- and this sentiment was my favorite!

Thanks for stopping by!

Farm Fresh Friday

I made this card for Farm Fresh Friday (although it's after midnight now that I got home from fireworks!) ---- Here is my first card with Edward--- Isn't he FABULOUS!! I saw the sketch and knew I had Rockstar DCWV paper that would be perfect! Stop by the TGF blog to see more samples of the sketch and play along for your chance to win a FREE set!!

I'll be back tomorrow with ATS cards-- I made one for the sneak peek of Underwater sentiments tonight, but I had an image on there that wasn't "peeked" yet!! You'll love the new sets!!

Hope everyone has a safe July 4th--- we will spend the day at home and then head to a smaller town nearby for fireworks again. We worked on reorganizing our garage today--- and the quest will continue in the morning! :)

Goodnight all!

Day 3 of peeks and ATS Patriotic Challenge

Thanks to everyone who participated in the blog hop yesterday---I appreciated all the comments and a winner will be announced on the TGF blog tomorrow!

I made it official today and will be a SAHM and daycare provider starting in August! My kids are really excited and so am I. I'm sure there will be frustrating days, but I'm excited about the new start. Thanks for the encouragement!! I certainly appreciate it!

So on to the stamping...

I wanted to get my card posted for the Wednesday ATS challenge, which was to make a Patriotic card. I, along with several of the other DT gals, used Christine's new Kiki digital image. She's just adorable and I hope to see more Kiki's in the future--- hopefully in stamp form! :) (HINT, HINT Christine!) :)

It's also day two of sneak peeks at ATS, and today's set is a new Amy R set called Amy R Butterflies! It's a HUGE set of butterflies and sentiments--- and it makes gorgeous cards easily! I just "Rock and Rolled" this butterfly, first stamping with Cameo Coral and then touching the edges to Chocolate Chip to match the DCWV paper. I can't wait to see the other creations with this set today!

I'm exhausted and ready for bed--- so thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow for Day 3 of peeks!!
