A Project to Share......

Good Morning Readers!

I hope everyone is staying in Keeping Cozy Warm today! It's absoluty FREEZING here today again!! YUCK!!!
Anyways, I have a special project to share with everyone. I am soo excited about it too!
I am not much of a card maker, I usually wont make a card unless there is some kind of reason for it. (Contest,swap,etc) My Comfort zone is ALTERING. I also Enjoy scrapbooking but have not did any of that in quite some time! LoL

As we all know Valentine's is fastly approching so I desided to get started on DD's Kindy Teacher's Gift and desided to make an extra for my GF Beverly's Scrapbook Store display!

Here is my Project and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them!


I alterted some Target Mailboxes from Last Years Inventory. The pattern Paper is My Mind's Eye Quite Smitten. I comuter generated (my new fav thing for sentiments) the sentiment "Happy Valentine's Day", My Hearts on the front are plain chipboard and I inked them and sharpie pened the white lines. The Blooms are Bazzill bitty blossoms and the ribbon on the flag is just an assortment of grosgrain and sheer. The Back ribbon is Pure Poppy PTI and then American Crafts Valentine ribbon.

Well That is all for now. Thanks for stopping by and Hope you have a Blessed Weekend!

1st Post of the New Year and a CARD!!

Good Friday Morning Readers!

I really needed to update my blog BUT things have been crazy as usual around here. So while I have a quick moment I have a card and some News to share!

Ok so the "news"is this ....I am not one to apply for many DT's as I am still working on bettering my card making or just being able to make a card peroid. LoL
Well I was checking out a Blog one day and had seen they were looking for DT members! I desided to come out of my lil shell and apply well as many of you know it's a couple weeks before yah usually hear back weather yah make it or not...We a couple weeks passed and I got the e-mail sayin I made the team!! I was excited because this is my 1st spot EVER on any kind of design team. So Here I am a Winter Simon Says Stamp Design Team Member! You get to choose one of their exclusive sets and put it to work. Well this is the set I chose:

It's a clear set which was awsome because I find myself totally addicted to clear stamps lately! So with that here is my 1st submission for the design team:

I broke out some of my new Spellbinder Nesties I recently got my BFF Beverly called Labels 2! I used some S.E.I Patterned Paper from a collection called Dill Blossom and some coordinating Green SU cardstock! I computer generated the sentiment "Owl's it Going" and threw on a piece of Brown offray ribbon from my every growing ribbon collection! My card Base is just from one of the Hero Arts Note Card/Envelope packs.

Be sure to stop over at the Simon Says Stamp Blog and comment to win this cute lil clear set for yourself!

Thanks for stopping By and I hope you all have a very plesent weekend!
