First Kiss Anniversary Card

Hey there,

Yesterday my parents celebrated 33 years of being married. What an amazing accomplishment, if I must say!!! Now a days you don't see much of this, so this makes me very proud!!! I'm so glad to have two parents that love each other as mine do, and I have witnessed this for the past 22 years. They have been great role models and they have taught me everything I know about love and how to love someone else. I couldn't ask for two better parents!! Happy Anniversary!!!

Today I want to share with you the card that I made them. I used Sarah Kays image First Kiss, I thought it was just so cute, and I love this Cosmo Cricket paper and I thought it went very well with the image and it's nuatral.

Enjoy!!!

I hope you enjoyed todays card!!!

Good morning to ya!!!

I hope you are all enjoying your morning! Here in Cali it's a lil foggy outside my window, but I'm sure that will clear right up and it will be a beautiful day, as it always is here in Cali when there isn't any rain. If you didn't know this about me I hate rain, and I love the sunshine, I blame that on me being born in the summer. Love the sunshine.

ISS Heart Balloons

Hello there,

I hope you are all doing well. I know I am! So if your wondering about my first day of class...well I guess it went well...what am I saying, I have Senioritus and I'm so over school. Lets just say I showed up late to my first class just to leave early becuase the professor required me to write 4, 4-5 page essays...which I refuse to do my last semester. So I left early to find another class, an easier one that didn't require much of me. I actually don't even need the class, I just need it to make me a full time student, I don't even need it to graduate, I just need a simple "A" to possibly boost my GPA and make me a full time student. My second class of the day went well, I have a great teacher and there are no tests just in class group projects, so that makes me happy. Well enough about school, on to todays card!

Todays card uses this Card Positioning Systems Sketch #149 (CPS149) from quite a few weeks ago. I thought it would look really cute with InStyle Stamps Heart Balloons. I followed the sketch exactly, but if you look at my card it looks like there are only 2 strips instead of three but the ribbon hids it.

Enjoy!!!

Love U

Hi there,

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! I know I am as this is my last weekend of vacation and tomorrow I start back at school. For my FINAL SEMESTER, yeah!!, about time but I still don't graduate with what I want. I want to be a nurse but all the schools are so inpacted that I haven't been accepted yet and I have tried three times. So after this semester I will graduate with a Bachelors in Public Health with a Concentration in Community Health Education. It goes along with my wanting to be a nurse and it is kind of the back door into getting into the program. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get in for this coming Fall, cause if I don't Im not sure what I will do with myself.

Well on to my card. This was another one of the cards that I created earlier this week and it just so happened to go perfectly with the challenge at Humble Pie Stamps this week. The theme? LOVE! Use RED, PINK and WHITE, and you MUST include hearts somewhere on your creations! So sure enough my card has all the requirements. The hearts aren't very obvious but they are definitly there. There is a heart around "14" with stickles but you can barly see it in this photo.

Enjoy!!!

The winner of this challenge will get the Maggie In Love rubber stamp. You have until next THURSDAY, January 28th at midnight EST to comment on this post with a link to your entry. I hope you join!!

ISS Valentine Cupcakes

Happy Friday!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful week. Despite the passing of my grandfather on Sunday, I can say that my week went well. This week was a very productive card making week, which excites me since I'm no where near my craft zone but I managed to pack a few things which helped me make lots of cards this week. So on to my card!!

I decided to play along with this weeks InStyle Stamps Wednesday Challenge which was to make a card or project that incorporates a "SWEETS" theme! Can be anything- cupcakes, candy- you name it, as long as it screams SWEETS! I decided to use Cupcakes by InStyle Stamps as my "Sweets" image. I also used the Skipping Stones Design Tuesday Sketch Challenge (SSD07) and was inspired by Amy Sheffer's take on this sketch and decided to CAS it. She always does such great work and she is always inspiring me. Thanks Amy!!!

Enjoy!!!

Hey there,

Sorry I haven't been around to post those cards that I said I had made. Things around my house have been a lil emotional as my mothers father passed away on Sunday in Acores, Portugal. He was 90 years old and had 7 children, 15 grandkids, 8 great grandbabies & 2 more on the way. He was an amazing man who had a love for star gazing, playing cards, dominos, and saying jokes. He was very intelligent and so wise. His passing was rather unexpected as he was doing really well for a 90 year old and then suddenly we got a call that he was going to the hospital there and then a few hours later we got a call that he had passed. The doctor's told my family that his blood pressure was to low and that his heart wasn't beating fast enough. I guess at 90 that is just what happens even if that is not what we wanted. He was a wonderful grandfather and my family will miss him dearly.

It is a little shocking as just 4 months ago we lost my father's father, we didn't expect it to happen like this but God is the only one who know.

Well on to my card. This was one of the cards that I created this past weekend. I was inspired by this card by Mercy's, so I decided to CAS it. I was super cute and simple and since Valentine's Day is coming I thought I would go with a love theme. I think it can also be directed to my grandfather, he was such an amazing and loved man who will be missed dearly.

Enjoy!!

AMYRS52 SWAK

So last night instead of catching up on some reading I decided that I would work on a Valentine's Day card for my boyfriend. I was inspired by a card made be Amy at Prairie Paper & Ink which also went with her sketch: AMYRS52.

It took quit a while to put this card together but it turned out real well and I think it's just the right one to send to him, Im super excited, it's just tooooo cute!!!! There is one thing that bothers me a bit and thats the upper right hand corner where there is a big white area, I'm debating weather I should leave it or if I should put a sentiment there. What do you think, should I leave it as is or add a sentiment????

Here it is, enjoy!!!!

TECC41 Sending you Love

Hey everyone, I hope everything is well. Everything is great here is Sac, I just had my first week of school and I think this one is going to be another good one!!! I'm excited but I have a feeling that this semester is not going to allow me much time to stamp so I will try my best. Sometimes I would totally rather be stamping than doing my homework which is totally what I am doing right now, I should be reading for all of my classes and staying on top of everything but that's not happening with Valentine's day come and my boyfriends birthday this Saturday. I still have to make cards, so here and there before this weekend and Valentine's day you will see some cards and I will probably be procrastinating with school, so while I'm posting I hope you are enjoying my creations. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!!!!

This card is a TECC challenge from a while back but I thought it would be perfect for Sending you love.
