Little Tee Swap

It's 11:49p.m. central time. Finally I finished my little tee swap that my friend Gabby is hosting over at splitcoaststampers. I couldn't come up with ideas on what to make. I had the "Hottie" one done several weeks ago for the naughty spot, which is pretty tame. But I couldn't think of anything creative for the other spots (funny and nice). My ideas came to me about 10:30p.m. tonight, it was like a light switch. This stamp set is the Little Tee set created by Melaine Muenchinger. The additional background stamps used where from Rubbernecker and CTMH. More details to come tomorrow. I'm exhausted.
Buenas Noches Amigas!!!

Heat is on.

I gave in, I finally turned on my heat. I try to wait til' I absolutely have to turn it on. It's not that I'm cheap, it really is expensive and being a single mom and all, well we have to make some sacrifices. Now, don't think I freeze my butt off, the house is really comfortable. But it's the morning, when you wake up and it's a little chilly. So I've been turning the heat on at night and turning it off in the morning. I wanted to make this warm card using my new stamp set that I just purchased from stampin' up "Harvest home", isn't it a beautiful set. I paper pieced the leaves at each corner. Lots of cutting, but it's so relaxing. I wanted to make sure I stamped the leaves on watercolor paper so I can get that nice fall effect on them.

Cupcake fun.

Yummo! Making cupcake cards makes me hungry for them, and I normally don't have a sweet tooth. I made this fun card for my friend Belinda, I'm a little late in posting the image, since her birthday was in September. :o) We share the same birthday so that makes us twinkies :o) I made this card using the Birthday Cupcake stamp set from Inkadinkado. I paper pieced the foil with DCWV pattern paper as well as just plain grey paper. Enjoy the sweets!

Hola Baby!

I'm always in search for a last minute baby card, and I never, ever have any on hand. So I decided on making a few cards in blue and pink. Here's a little baby boy card using Bashful Blue and Gable green. I've used the "Hello Baby" stamp set from "The Angel Company", and the background paper is from Nana's Nursery baby boy paper package. The pattern paper already comes with glitter so all I had to do was cut the right size for the card. The scallop circle was cut out using my Spellbinders nestabilities scallop template. I love these templates, if you don't have them, GET IT! I use mine on my cuttlebug. They are so easy to use and affordable.

I'm back

My blog has been pretty sad lately. I had a huge mess to deal with at home. My son's XBOX live account got Hacked into! They stole my credit card information and charged away, so I've just been in a depressed/sad/angry/violated mood. On top of that, they sent a trojan (Virus, ladies) to his laptop and completely wiped it out. So, finally I think our lives will get back to normal. My advice to all the mom's with kids that have XBOX live accounts, DO NOT leave your credit card as a main account. Change it to a visa gift card or something else. Take my word. So onto some cards I've been making while my PC has been down. I hope you enjoy them all, because there are a few to go around :o)

This fun little guy is from Inkadinkado, I purchased him at a Stamp convention recently, I've had tons of fun with him. I created the background images using the cactus stamp from the same set. I used my watercolor pencils as well as copic markers to color images.

I received these two cards in the mail from my sister Marisol. Aren't they cute!!! She made these matching cards for Louie and I. I've never received a card in the mail for Halloween, it was so much fun opening them. Louie had a kick out of it. The stamps set she used was from stampin' up. I just love the versatility in the skull. Thanks Mari! :o)

So, Mari inspired me to make a Halloween card myself. I used the Monster Party stamp set from Storage Units, Ink & More .

Hope you enjoyed this post. More cards to come.

Sunshine on a cloudy day!

What a miserable day today. Rainy, cloudy and chilly. Only 3 more months left for the year to end. Where did the time go? Are you feeling the same way? I feel like I slept through this whole year. But I can't complain, I had a wonderful time this summer and gosh I love the fall. I've decided to pull out my stamped images of "By the seashore" from stampin' up, I know, I use it often. But I love it so much.

The card up above, will be sent to some lucky person that needs some cheering up. I love just making random cards I can send to folks. It's always great getting unexpected mail. The card off to the side I made and guess what, my son was looking for a birthday card to give me and he came into my craft room and took this one. LOL. So I got this for my birthday, which I created, but my wonderful son personalized it on the inside. I hope you all enjoy!
