Create a gift card or money Holder… I created this money holder for my Nephew who turned 18 and his present from his parents was a CAR!! can you believe that!! GOODNESS!!!  So decided to give him money to pay for that GAS!! hahaha… Hope you like..

Create a Holiday Theme Card.. I made this card Inspired by EDNA!  I love her card videos!     

Challenge was to use a non-holiday cart to make a Christmas project.   I used A child’s year to make this card.   

Bows and buttons!  Well, this card took forever to make.  I was planning to do a thank you card for someone and I was nervous.  Why? well this person is a very talented card maker, her stuff is amazing!  So mind you, I was like oh my gosh, I need to make this good.  Here is my card after many different styles I tried.  Then I  realized, GO TO ANNABELLE Stamps blog to see what the challenge is to get me started..an inspiration!  So phew! Annabelle saves the day yet again! hahaha   It is something simple.  

A video of me making a card! Yup! I did a video of me making a card!  I know! It must be snowing some where! haha!   I created the following card for two Challenges: Annabelle Stamps Challenge :  Say it with Sentiments Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge :  Tea Time, which we are to create anything to fit this idea. Hope you like my video and card! haha! yup! i finally did a card video again!  ITs been like forever!! My next attempt is to do a layout video! Just waiting on my ink cartridge to come in!     

Phew! This past Halloween weekend has been busy busy busy!!   I did my treats for my co-workers using Crafty Sprouts Halloween stamp set and the french fry box from CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge! I am submitting this project to Crafty Sprouts Halloween Challenge!

I created this treat box for 2 challenges!  Have I mentioned how I am loving the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge? Well, I DO!    Isn’t this too CUTE??  Just like the saying! Of course I used K. Andrew Design new FALL-O-WEEN stamp set for this treat box!    I am entering this box to her Simply SUNDAY CHALLENGE and also to Crafty Sprouts treat box challenge!   I may do another treat box and use a crafty sprout stamp set as soon as it gets to me!  I used Mini Monsters to make the spider, K&Co. Halloween stack and SU designer label punch.   TOO CUTE!!   

I think this may be my 1st Scrappy Mom’s challenge ? Hmmmm or maybe not, my 2nd?  Anyway, the challenge is a color challenge, TEAL and BROWN!  Wow, so love those colors together!!   For this challenge I use SU soft suede for the base of the card. Teal cardstock I had laying around & for the patterned paper I used a mat pad by “me & my big idea” called Copper Willow  I got on clearance for 1.97 at Joann’s a long time ago.  The scallop oval I cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge!  SOO love that cartridge.  For the sentiment, I used Scrappy Mom’s Charmed Life stamp set!  I also got my very 1st SIMPLY BETTY STAMP !! WOO HOO I SO LOVE THIS GIRL!  She so reminds me of my niece!  Cuteness!!  Hope you like!

I know its been forever!  Goodness.  I guess you can say life has gotten in the way and a broken A/C unit!  So I have been without central air for about a good 8 days and being in central Texas this ain’t good!  Thank goodness its not in the 100’s and its been kinda cool  mid 90’s.  Inside the house temperature reads 87°F.  Thankfully my mom still had a window unit in her back sunroom that she doesn’t use and that is in our master bedroom.  I had attempted to scrap but I started to sweat and I just gave up.  Who wants to sweat and scrap?  I know I don’t. So finally on day 8 I was fed up! I got some new scrappy goodies I wanted to use and decided to move some of my stuff to my bedroom temporarily.  This is my Happiness! A little corner nook I took over.  YES!  Ok so when I finally organized my stuff I was like, “WHAT DO I DO NOW?” lol So of course what better way to get me out of my scrappy rut is to go to ANNABELLES BLOG and see what challenge they have going on!  She never

Ok.. so Ms. Erika aka Crafty Sprouts had released her 2nd New Stamp set. It is amazing!  Check this out.  Erika is also my neighbor, ok so not next door neighbor put she lives like less than a mile from me.   This is strange we both got selected to Kristal’s design team a few months back and that’s how I found out she was a neighbor!  I was like oh cool she lives in San Antonio too but then I was like WOWO she lives like really close! LOL  So I should be stalking her mail box and see if I can intercept some of her stamps when the mail man passes.  Anyway just wanted to let yall know it’s a SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL! So Ms. Erika has a sketch challenge to go along with her New stamp release and I decided to join in on the fun. Her stamps are awesome and I so need to get my hands on them reason why I am planning on intercepting a box! Gotta know when the next shipment comes in!  Just love her barcode stamp on each set!! Here is the sketch: Here is my card.. well cards. Couldn

The challenge is use 2 “B” on our card this can be  2 buttons, brads..etc..  2 is for the 2 years and B is for Birthday!I used two buttons and two bows.  The flower has two buttons layered one on top of another to give it some dimension. Hope you like!   hope you can see the two layered buttons!

Howdy Howdy,   I created another card for two more challenge! 1. Annabelle Stamps Birthday Challenge #2 in which the challenge is BLOOM! Use flowers!  2.  Sweet Stamps blog challenge #31 is to use lace! Here is my card! Recipe:  I stamped and embossed different type of flowers onto white card stock using white embossing powder. Then I distressed two types of TIM Holtz distressing Inks (tea dye & wild honey) I added roses from recollections, white Annebelle Stamps pearls, lace, boarder strip from sassafrass lass, Stamped the sentiment using K Andrew Stamps 2 different stamps sets (Birthday from Coffee & Tea for you & me;  Happy from Fall O-ween).

Phew! Its been forever since I’ve done challenges!  I was blog hopping and decided to get to it! Stop laying in bed and start crafting! I created this card for two challenges. 1. K. Andrew’s Simply Sunday Challenge in which we have to use anything with wings!  2.  Annabelle Stamps Birthday challenge #1 which is a 1,2,3 challenge.  1. Use one new stamp.  2 die cut/punch. 3. bling.

Howdy Folks!!  I am so honored to be part of Jessica’s aka KinderStampO guest designers! WoW! How awesome is that!  I am sure throughout the blog hop you have seen all the wonderful folks share with you the MOTTO by which Jessica from KinderStampO goes by “ Live. craft. Inspire” The idea is to share a little bit about ourselves listed under the word live, a little bit about ourcrafty style under the word Craft and a little bit about how we get inspiration and how they hope to inspire under the word inspire. So here goes my interpretation of the motto:  LIVE. CRAFT. INSPIRE.  LIVE:  I am an elementary special education teacher and work with Special needs kids.  I am so loving it! I never thought I was going to have so much fun doing this! I heart it the most!  When I’m not teaching, I’m a girlfriend to a middle school special education teacher, stepmom to his 17 y/o daughter and a softball stepmom!  hehe   I love my family!   Then when all is said and done.. I’m a SCRAPPER and C

OK... Folks!  Guess what i'm gonna do?  I have never done one of these before.. not even a tupperware, pampered chef or home interior or SU party.  So, I decided to have a CLOSE TO MY HEART PARTY! I'm kind of scared because well don't know many people in my "real" life that are card makers or scrappers but I do know alot of of my ONLINE FRIENDS that do!! The only reason, I'm doing this is because well the ordering process is going to be awesome!  NO middle man. Ya know, something you have to give the order to the hostess, then pay her then wait till the products come in.. then have to wait till the hostess ships it out to you.  Well, not with CLOSE TO MY HEART.  They are making it easy with   EZ Invite Party online. I will be posting a link which will take you to my online party and you can order and pay online and your products will come directly to your house!! Isn't that AWESOME?? Also, for you CRICUT LOVERS!  CTMH is the only place where you can

Oh gosh!  I finally made it to my craft area and created something.  While doing this card.. I messed up a lot! Goodness so I did my best to try to fix it and it.  Not my best work but its been a few weeks.  So please don’t be to harsh on me.  I created this card for two challenges.  Annabelle Bling Sketch challenge #41 and for Sweet Stamps Challenge 29 - White on White .  This is my first time doing a challenge for Sweet Stamps which I found while I was blog hopping.  This mess up?  Ok.. I white embossed the dry embossed insert but then I wanted to make it pop since it blended too much. So I decided to ink the edges in a light gray ink. Which looked good but then I wanted the base dry emboss to have a bit of glitz so I started to versa mark w/ the dazzling versa mark but then the gray ink bled into the white so in order to cover it up I had to emboss it with white embossing powder. But then I was like UGH!  So I decided to use white liquid pearl to edge everything.  UGH I did

Kathy?   Good grief.. its been forever since I posted!  I’ve lost my mojo!  Been feeling so blah! Work started back up for us Teachers on Thursday. So been working getting my room organized.. Ok, let me rephrase that.. I helped take out stuff from our boxes. (Yeah we were temporarily housed at a different campus until our school was being remodeled..year 4 its finally done! lol but then they decided to move my department (Life Skills-Special Needs class) to a whole new school) So we packed up our classroom (over 60 boxes). So Thursday my assistant, KELLI!! OMGOSH she is my right hand!! I LOVE HER! SHE IS THE BOMB!  I always make her happy! Don’t want her to leave me! LOL   Ok so where was i? ok Thursday we both unpacked our boxes. Then Friday was a Teacher camps development day, so the teacher were doing workshops and Kelli stayed behind and organized and decorated our room! YES!! Finally a room that looks like a classroom unlike our DUNGEON we had last school year (seriously the bui

Yes my fellow Scrappers and Card Makers, I finally made a Shaker card!  I tried last night, in which I spend over an hour with two types of cards and couldn’t do it! I gave up.  So this evening I tried my hand at it again. This time I used a Cricut cartridge.  Ok yesterday I was trying to do one  with using only stamps but nope.  I needed a Cricut cut!  I of course used K. Andrew Art Stamp!  I used “FOOD FOR THOUGHT”  for this card, you will be be like what!! Yes I did! On this ROBOT card!?  What!!!  YUP!  Food for Thought can not only be used for food related cards, etc. but it can be used for other cards!  I love that K. Andrew stamps are so versatile! I couldn’t find beads small enough to put in the center of his body so I put Glitter.  only thing is that it is sticking to the transparency. I really need to find some beads.  I am submitting this card into Erika’s Shaker Card Challenge over at her blog, CRAFTY SPROUTS . SO where can you find yourself some awesome stamps? Head
