well here it is set #4

this card is way prettier in person the snow flake background also has gold snow flakes and if the sun were shining today it most likely would have shown oh-well the stamp set used is once again Lizzie Ann's Christmas in the city, love this set!!!!! and the layout is SC142 good one right!!!!
I used the slit and ticket Conner Punch wine ribbon and safety pins mini glue dots and stickles and my SU markers!

the paper and ink used was guava pomegranate and gold I also used the textured VV

Set #3 Christmas Cards

I was asked by my sister to do something simple and I just don't think that I am any good at simple!!! So I just kept the focal point small and played with the background till I was happy!

the colors used are pomegranate and basic gray ant the textured WW. to make the background I first stamped it in basic gray then silver then white and in the middle of the bigger white snow flakes I added some Stickels Soooooooo much easier than glitter! ( what a mess that stuff is)

I colored the Mary and Bright snowman and tree with my Lonely SU markers and again added Stickles for shine!!!!

Thanks for looking and I am looking for a good sketch for set #4 please help me out!!!

love this set

This is the second set of ten Christmas cards, I have made with this stamp set "CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY" from Lizzie Ann designs http://www.lizzieannedesigns.com/ I love love love this stamp set I already have the next set of cards in mind I just need help picking out the colors so if anybody has any ideas I am open ears ( or eye beings I have to read it here)!!! 20 down 20 to go. I think I can do it all with this one set of stamps, there is just so much you can do with it!!!!

this was the first set I did please tell the one you like best!!!

how's this for SS140

I am so happy being home with all of my own stamp stuff it is just so relaxing to sit and play and not have to worry about the mess I am making (all over my mothers house). I also think that my cards just turn out better!!!!!
So I was thinking this would be a great layout for at least 10 of my 40 Christmas cards 2 down 8 to go TFL!!!

get ready to be booed

well I thought that I would try my hand at masking, not as bad as I thought it would be! The two cards you see here did take all day but I had so much fun making them and I already know what I am going to do with them. I think that I will use these to BOO the neighbors and if you don't know what this is you are missing out it is great HALLOWEEN fun!!!! first you start by going to this web site http://www.myfolsom.com/Boo/ and pick your BOO all this is, is a color and instruction sheet. Sound like fun just wait, then you fix up a goody bag or basket and then you leave it on two of your neighborhood door steps after dark. they then put the BOO sheet up in there door so the don't get BOOED again and carry on the chain by BOOING two neighbors and so on and so on !!!! the kids love it!!!!
thanks for looking and have fun BOOING!!!!!!!!

My Baby Boy Is One

Henry is going to be one year old tomorrow and he is great!!!!! Hank has started walking allover the place and has an attitude like his sister!! He loves to play with Ava and jasmine when ever he get the chance, and with his cars and funny looking action figs.!!! let me tell you the boy can eat with the best of them he can fill his face till you thing he will just pop.
My little guy is the biggest lover I know with plenty of love to go around for sisters, daddy's, Nana's, and papas. but he saves the most lovey time for me yes I do have a mamas boy and I am loving every minute!!!

my kiddos

This was the day we came back from the river we had spent two fun filled days playing and splashing in the river, eating campfire food, and getting our tan on!!!!
On the way home Henry would only stop crying and fit throwing if I was looking at him so I took the opportunity to take some of the cutest pics ever he just looks so happy what the pics don't tell is that he really wanted to go to sleep and he did not want to do it in the car!!!
Jasmine on the other hand could not wait to sleep in a cozy bed after a nice bath she crashed right where she sat and slept all the way home who in there right mind could resist a picture opp like this!!!
Ava was a stinker as always she just did not want to be in the car she was hungry and tired!!! I could also not handle the thought of letting her go to bet with out a bath she had dirt every where the light does not shine can you say itchy yuck!!!!
All in all it was a great camping trip at Nama's river!!!

From The Heart

My mom and I had gone into a stamp store that we hit once or twice a month. I was looking at all of the wonderful stamps, and ran across this one. It looked used and stained, I just could not see paying $7.50 for one stamp that looked like that. I asked the lady about it and she said " well I guess I will just have to clearence it for a $1.50." Now who in there right mind could pass that up? Not me that is for sure!!!!!

just so you all know I did see that the pic in my gallery say's "harth" and not heart but it was just to late to fix it by the time I saw it ooooopps!!!!

Thanks for reading and looking at my gallery
