TGIF

Hello my friends,

Well not only are we excited that it is Friday here at our house but it is also the last day of work till our vacation. The family this year is taking a trip to Maine, and are hoping the hurricane Irene changes her mind from doing the same!
Now the card I have to show you today was inspired by Loganscraftymomma cause I was watching one of her youtube videos where she had out her colouring pencils. And secondly was this is a set my mother gave up when they downsized their living space. This set is a Stampin Up set called Blooming with Love. Now I am not sure about all the papers, I think they are also Stampin Up but am not 100% sure. I do know for sure though that the ribbon is grosgrain and is Stampin Up. I used my Prisma colouring pencils, and my usually adhesive, as well as the stamping was done with India Ink. I hope you enjoy and I hope that whoever I send this too also enjoys the card. It is the end of the week and the weekend is finally here, enjoy yourselves and hopefully there is some time for you to stamp too!
Thanks again for stopping by,

New Record

Good morning,

Well have to say I don't believe I have done so many posts since I started this blog, lol. I just wanted to show you another card we made at my friend Jen's open house. Have I mentioned she is an amazing stamper and a Stampin Up demonstrator? Well she is! Anyways this was another great card she had for us to create, while demo'ing the new stamp set. My mother fell in love with this set so I am going to have to put an order in for her, lol. Hardship I know. As much as she likes this card though I am going to have to send it off for another crafter to enjoy in the Canadian Card Exchange. So hopefully the person recieving it will like the set as much as my mother did after seeing this card. I hope this post finds everyone well and I appreciate you taking time out of your day to stop by. Thanks for looking once again,

Hump Day

Good afternoon,

Now I hope I am not giving anyone a heart attack with these three last posts. I know I had been very lazy with posting in the past. But.... part of the reason for my posting so much is kind of a dig at another blogger, you know who you are, that commented that I had not posted for awhile.
Sooooo..... that is why I have been making more of an effort to post daily if not every second day. The card I am showcasing today is one I made at my dear friends Jen Dimarco's house, she was showing us some of the new stamp sets and selling her older retired ones. As you can see we got to play with the new blossom punch, which I have to say was cool, and I ended up purchasing. I also like the Stampin Up boarder punches too! I think the card came out very nicely and will be sending this one off for my Canadian Card Swap for the month of August. Hope the recipient likes it as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for checking in and will catch up again soon,

Sunny Skies

Hello Everyone,
It is a lovely sunny day here so that mean I am off to the park with my gang! Yesterday was cloudy and overcast and got a lot of cleaning done, so today is a park day and I guess the rest will get done when the kids are napping. I hope everyone is having a nice sunny day too, it is cool here but very refreshing. This is one of the cards I received this week from the Canadian Card Swap that I am involved in. As you can see Karen is a very talented crafter. The troops are getting restless waiting for me to finish this post so I will catch you all up more later. Have a good day, and hope to see you back here soon.
Thanks for looking,

Home Sweet Home

Good morning everyone,
The girls and I had a great weekend spent up in Morrisburg with my parents. Granny and Granddom to the girls. It was a very much needed relaxing weekend! Granddom made these delicious fresh burgers on a charcoal bbq, and they were so good I couldn't resist having three burgers. Now we didn't eat anything with the burgers but potato chips. But wow they were good. Always makes me laugh cause we call it camping when we go visit them cause they are in an RV, but looking at Rosie here doesn't she seem like she is roughing it, more like glamping in her case, lol.

Well it was a good weekend and we thank them for having us. I was excited to get home though cause while I was sitting relaxing I had downloaded a new scrapbook organizer app for my phone. This app allows me to categorize my stash and take pictures so I won't be hoarding three bottles of ruby slipper stickles anymore! LOL.
Now since this is suppose to be a craft blog, and not only my personal update blog I do have a picture of a card for you to see. I cased this card from CaraScrapNStamp, she has an etsy account and she posts on Twitter when she has a new card. I have a belated birthday card to send to my aunt so this was quick and easy to do. Hope you enjoy, and as always thanks for looking.

Time Flies

Welcome back my blogger friends,

I apologize for my absence. I can't believe it has been two months since my last post. Unfortunately life gets in the way sometimes of my blogging. So much has gone on since I lasted posted. My oldest turned 10, my husband has been traveling, of course the summer cold hit the house, and here we had a postal strike which halted any card swaps I was in. So honestly without much crafting mojo going on here I haven't had much to post.
Today though is a rainy indoor day and figured a good day to check in and deal with a few things that have been neglected since the school holidays have started. Well one of the big things that happened was that Winston, our Cocker Spaniel, had a small accident while we were camping. He jumped down from the lawn chair and into the fire pit. Lucky enough it was only the one foot that got burnt. Has not been a terrible recovery, has gone by fairly quickly. The vet now says that he only needs to keep a sock on to keep it clean and the scabs from ending up all over the carpet. Another few days and he should be able to go without the sock even at least in the house. It amazes me but even from day one Winston has never acted like he was hurt or sore, and has been patiently waiting to be better so he can run after his toys.


Well that is about all that I will bore you with today. But check back tomorrow and I will update you on some of the swap cards I received for the Canadian Card Exchange. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and see you back here tomorrow.
Rubber Hugs,
