Mother's Day...and Then Happy Birthday Time!

Image
What a crazy week we've had...packed up my FIL...moved him down the hall to a one bedroom in the same building ~ but when I unpacked, I went through EVERYTHING, I purged, sorted, reboxed things for my SIL & BIL and then as I cleaned I put things away. We went over on Thursday evening and moved everything into the new suite, left a path for dad so he could get to the washroom...and then I came back at 8am on Friday morning...7pm....DONE!!! So now I'm on a roll ~ slowly stared in my craft room on Saturday evening, then after church and lunch, I went back in...today is a holiday for us, so by 8am I was back in here...5pm DONE!!! Every stone was turned over, dusted, put back or thrown away! WOW!!! Now it's tidy in here and I want to create a card for my Mother's Birthday...let's see how well I do with putting my toys away when I'm done! I do tend to explode when I create, I try not to...but just can't seem to get a handle on that. Do you explode acro...

Mojo Monday & Friends!

I had so much fun creating last night with some friends ~ it's all about sharing for me ~ I love to share my toys and watch as my friends enjoy themselves in my little studio! The Mojo Monday sketch grabbed me the second I saw it and knew this was my starting point The next thing that was really on my mind was my HUGE stash of DP... I so seldom grab that and was determined that is was NOT going to intimidate me any longer.... so here goes! I really like the my finished card, although it really didn't photograph very well. I really dislike having to create a sympathy card when I need one and my stash is very low, so much was accomplished today!  Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a blessed day! And questions....be sure to drop me a line! If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!! Or, if space is an issue, come here and create with me at one of m...

Black & White is Spectacular!

I got together with a dear friend the other day and we created all day long....now that's what I call a super fun day! One of the cards that I created was a CASE from the fabulous  Dawn Olchefske Her creativity is wonderful ~ I love popping in on her and I know that you'll enjoy your time there as well ~ so what are you waiting for...go have a peek! I needed an anniversary card for some dear friends of ours and Dawn's card was just screaming at me... pick me, pick me...oh how I enjoyed creating this card! Here is a picture of my CASE of the card that was inspired by Dawn ~ thanks Dawn!!! Please ignore my crooked border along the bottom....oh how did I do that and I was using my Stamp-a-mig????  I thought I was lined up properly ~ obviously NOT!!! I loved this so much ~ I'm actually going to teach this to my girls...I know they'll go crazy with delight as they put their card together! I'm going to pull out most of my sentiments that will fit in the large ov...

First Class of the Year!

Image
Welcome back, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I'd like to wish you all the best in the New Year! I will be hosting my first class of the year on Monday the 9th and I sure hope I'm feeling better by then. I have been sick for over a month now and I can't seem to shake it! I spoke at a ladies Bible Study and then taught a simple Christmas card on the 22nd of November, by that evening I had  laryngitis and it's been one thing after another since then...the hardest part is... I'm never under the weather. I just don't seem to catch whatever it is that's going around...guess I can't say that anymore! I did still mange to have some play time (albeit not enough)...so in between sniffles, tissue, naps...yikes!!! are you sick of me yet!!!! Well, I did get a card created and now all I have to do is cut my kits, and tidy my house...well, cut my kits for sure! So here is my card ~  And a quick shot of the inside  I thought I'd also give you the d...
