crazy stuff!

Wow...sorry I was MIA for a bit there...too much stuff going on here! So, I posted 3 entries to 3 challenges on SCS's Virtual Scrapbook Night a little while ago...Oh my goodness, all 3 won! I was soooo not expecting to win anything cause the other pages were so completely awesome! I finally found my way over to the winners thread just to look at cool layouts I may want to case (wink) and see my name 3 times! That's just crazy!!!





SO.................


In honor of my "wins" I want someone to win also! That means it's time for my very first blog candy!!! Just subscribe to my blog and leave a comment and your entered! Here is a pic of the goodies I put together...

A package of chipboard stickers, 10 square and 10 round coasters, set of gift tags w/ envelopes, 4 spools of ribbon, 4 sets of clear stamps, and 3 sizzix paddle punches.

Wowie Kazowie Batman! Hope that's good for my first set of blog candy! I will randomly pick the winner on Mother's Day, Sunday May 13th. Good Luck and welcome to my blog!

new look

I have been playing with HTML lately, can you tell? I made this logo for t-shirts for me and Toni and figured I'd use it here too.

Just wanted to share this picture of my DD...I found this dress at BJ's with the matching doll's dress for like $14.99! Too cute!

April VSBN

Here are some pages I submitted for VSBN (virtual scrapbook night) on SCS...I had fun with them and got some cool new ideas! Give it a try next time!

I've been tagged!

Ok, so I'VE BEEN TAGGED! My friend Michelle from February VSN has tagged me which means I have to list 5 of my favorite blogs. One problem though...all of my favs have been tagged already! So, I decided to branch out and look for more fun new blogs....
Here's what I found:

www.alifeandartinprogress.blogspot.com She has really pretty cards and links of lots of her Italian friends' blogs!

www.allistamps.blogspot.com Alli makes gorgeous stuff and also did a chipboard tutorial using her cuttlebug!

www.basementstamper.blogspot.com Kim does some awesome interpretations for so many challenges...and she is expecting her 3rd little one! Congrats!

http://ginapier.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com Gina is the "Grand-Dame" of the Wish Rak forum and makes gorgeous stuff...her blog is also beautiful!

http://stamping4u.blogspot.com/ What a cute crab! I just loved this card and all the great stuff this chick does with Bellas!

I'm so glad I had to search around the blogs out there! There were so many more I could have tagged! I just love getting the email that there are updates to all the fun blogs I visit. Keep up the great work girls!

some samples from Stamp a Stack

These are 2 cards from our last Stamp a Stack...I have been crazy for these Rhonna Farrer swirls lately... This one was inspired by cdrhoades.
This one uses a modified kissing technique, a twisted kiss...I "kissed" the stamps together and twisted, kinda looks like tye-dyed, huh? This was inspired by a card I saw by bdrew on SCS.
This one wasn't from our class, but I needed a bridal shower card with a black and white theme...
Right now, we are getting into the beginning preps for our Mother's Day workshop, and our ALL DAY crop. On top of that I need to design my DD's birthday party invites (at least I have a theme), start on bridal shower invites for my cousin, get an idea for another recipe swap I joined, and come up with something spectaular for make for my mom and MIL for Mother's Day. Can you spell SWAMPED? Always have time to read though....at the moment I am reading "Prints Charming" by Rebeca Seitz. I recieved this book for hosting VSBN on SplitCoast Stampers. It's really intriguing and revolves around 4 friends brought together by scrapbooking. I highly recommend it to you, a good good, read...here is Rebeca's website for you to check out.
