Eeeek! Halloween

What?! Two card in the same week! How much do you love Halloween shoes!! If these were real I'd wear them. I really would, just ask my husband! I love shoes. Some people just don't see the importance of having the right pair of shoes for every occasion...and then some. Well I'm not one of those people. I figured since I can't wear these I'd stamp them. Not a bad plan right? AND the best part is they take up absolutely zero space in my closet. (hi honey)What more could you ask for? Thanks for looking and hanging in there with me while I was on my stamping hiatus.

Fleas on Earth

Hello!  I hope you all had a great summer. I know ours was busy.  Between playing chauffeur for my sons volunteer job, work, a trip to see my 94 year old Grandmother, a visit with my sister and daily life I didn't stamp at all over the summer. I was so behind on thank you cards I was starting to feel very guilty. I've been MIA for so long I think I forgot how to stamp. So today I managed to knock out some long overdue thank you cards and this Christmas card. I love the saying and it's probably the main reason I bought this set. The puppy is cute too, but you gotta love fleas on earth! Luckily they don't live at my house but I know they exist. Now that school has started again I'm hoping to get back into my much needed school year routine which always includes stamping. Thanks for looking!

OWH Midweek Throwdown

This weeks OWH challenge is to do his and hers cards using the same layout. I decided to go with something on the simpler side. You can't tell from my lousy photography, but the yellow in the butterfly card isn't as lemony looking as it appears. I hope you take some time to check out their blog and take some time to make a card or two to send their way! Thanks for looking!

Whoo Whoo

I'm not a huge fan of owls, but this guy is just too cute for words. I guess it's the real ones I don't care for too much. Last year we had a few in our yard and they just sort of freak me out. I guess you could say it's the superstitious aspect of the hoot owl that I don't like. Crazy right? Don't look it up if you believe in that sort of thing.  ;)  Anyway, been stamping a little here and there and found a new little craft I'm enjoying too. Have you seen those ribbon necklaces on the internet? Well I found an online source for the "specialty" ribbon and went to town making them this weekend. I love them!

This photo doesn't really do these necklaces justice but you get the idea. One of these days I'll pick up one of those necklace displays. The hardest part was finding beads with a large enough hole to fit all the ribbon through so you can adjust the length of the necklace. We have a huge bead shop out here and there were only two beads for me to chose from. Go figure. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Birthday Dog

Hello all! It's been a while. I've been stamping here and there. Working on cards for my stash, graduation cards and cards for Operation Write Home. I'm pleased with the way this card turned out and decided it was blog worthy, so here it is. (I still love all of my Angel Company stamps) I have a few more I'll post over the next few days too. Is everyone enjoying spring? I know in the mid-west they are having lots of snow! Here in the west we have a little rain, and some warm windy days. Hello allergies! You can leave any time!! Thanks for looking today and I hope you find some time to be creative.

Just for fun

Just a little fun post for you to enjoy over the weekend. Love this little girl and plan to add it to the new box of cards I've started for OWH. Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!
