Photo Opp


This must be the elves lining up for a photo opp. The photo must have happened before the Christmas rush, because they all are smiling.
The stamp is by Stampin'Up called Holiday Lineup and was an image I had wished for in the WishRAK on Split Coast Stampers.

Happy Puppy


I love puppies and I love my puppy the most.

We have a silly Bordor Collie. Now she is not a puppy by age because she is 5, but she is our puppy.

The puppy on this card is an image by Penny Black. I received this image on the Wish RAK on Split Coast Stampers. The DP is by K&Co. and I used Prismacolor Pencils for the coloring.

The card sketch is the Split Coast Stampers sketch challenge #202.

Birthday card for my high school BF


My high school friend is getting close to celebrating her birthday (the year is a secret!) She is a very talented artist and has made all her Christmas cards for years. Now that I have taken up stamping and card making for a hobby, it is fun to finally share my hobby with her. Happy Birthday Gena!
The stamped image is from Whipper Snapper Designs called Cupcake Mouse. I received the image as a Wish RAK on SplitCoastStampers. The paper is HL textured cardstock and K&Co. designer paper.

Blog candy link

Sweet'n Sassy Stamps is offering blog candy. Just click on *this* to get to her blog.

Star Book?



Sorry for the dark pictures, if I remember correctly, it was cold and damp outside, therefore, the pictures were taken on my kitchen table. Today it is wildly windy and cold.

This little book was to be a Star Book. The original idea came from the blog Amazing Paper Grace. It was very simple to make. It would be great to make for different occasions, such as a Grandmother's Brag Book with her precious little one featured.

This book was made on my Wednesday Scrapping Day with Lisa. We helped each other through the instructions, or Lisa had the instructions and I followed! Yep, I'm a follower....

The Christmas DP is from Cloud9Design by Fiskars called "Christmas Wreath". I didn't know Fiskars was now making DP!



Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Cute Bee Card

This card was a simple card. I scraplifted this layout from someone's blog, I just don't remember which blog it was. (Sorry) The image came from Split Coast Stampers Wish RAK.

Cats of a Kitty Cat, Meow, Meow, Meow

In case you didn't know, I love kitties. So, when I found this stamp at an Owasso LSS, I just had to have it. The pink paper was supplied to me by my good friend Lisa. We both have decided that we love pink so much, because we both have only boys.
