Happy Birthday Jessica!

I was fortunate enough to be asked to celebrate this special, crazy, outgoing chick's birthday hop and I couldn't be more excited!  Not only is she the brains behind There She Goes Clear Stamps but she is pretty hot too!  Happy Birthday Jessica-ho! 

I used this adorable set Jungle Out There, one of my favorites from TSG.  I had some Heidi Swapp stickers I have been dying to use so I knew today was the day.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR FRIEND!  Thanks for 'hiring' me way back when no one else would....HA!  I hope you have the best day ever! Love ya GF! 

NOW TIME TO HOP!  

Thanks for helping us celebrate Jessica's birthday! Have fun hopping, and on the way, the last hop will be Jessica's blog, so be sure to say hi to her and wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Loonie Sketch Time

Hi Peeps!  I am saying hello from sunny Fairmont Hot Springs, BC.  The family and I are taking a well deserved week off to enjoy some sun and relaxation.  But I wanted to make sure I posted my Loonie Challenge for you all to see cause it is so darn cute.....teehee!

It was my pick this week and I gave the girls a sketch too use!  Look at this cute guy from it's a Jungle Out There from There She Goes Stamps.  The whole set is just too adorable and especially when you can layer them up like Jessica does!!!  I bow to her! 

Make sure you visit my girls and see what they came up with for my sketch.  Ciao....

Forget, Me???

That title is so true with me these days, I don't know where my mind is!!!  Must be age....yuck!

I snuck,  just in time, my card for Jen's SFYTT sketch for last month!  I wanted to wait and use my new There She Goes Stamps for the card as they were the sponsor, and I got them just in time on Monday and the card had to be in by midnight!  Talk about rushing.  But I love how it turned out!

I love Jessica's cards lately!  She uses tons of layers on her images and they look wicked.  I mean look at all of these she recently did, so hot!!!   So I kind of copied her brilliance for mine.  I mean come on, could 'Ellie' be any cuter....NOT!!!!    Have a great day....Ciao!

Enjoyed my Sweet Sunday!

Monday already??!!   While, let's look on the bright side, only 4 sleeps till the weekend!   I didn't do much yesterday other than put around in my craft area trying to organize it better, so I thought why not make something while I was at it.  I received some new stuff from There She Goes Stamps on Friday and had to ink up this cute new set called Wonderful Winter Wishes, aren't they freakin' adorable!  I also used Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch for the layout.  I enjoy making a card so much more when I have a sketch to work with! 

 If anyone has any tips on how to sew  on a circle properly, I would truly appreciate it.  I was laughing so hard when I was doing it, thinking to myself "am I actually going to put this on my card then post it?" as it is soooo bad!  I even hid the worst part underneath the image.  But then it worked out as I could put the sentiment on the white space so I guess it wasn't all bad!  

Have a great day!  See you Wednesday for MFT's Sketch!  Ciao!

Stuff:   Stamps - TSG's Wonderful Winter Wishes;   Paper - White, Soft Suede, Cameo Coral, MME pattern paper;   Supplies - Nesty's, SU scallop punch, PTI ribbon, Copics

Mojo Monday

Monday already???  Which means I am going back to work today...there are so many four letter words I would love to put here but this is a family program today so I better not!  At least Mary gave us a great sketch this week for Mojo Monday.

When I received my package from Jessica at There She Goes Stamps and ripped the sucker open, I squealed like a school girl seeing Justin Bieber!   I love all her new sets and this one especially!  The images are super cute and the sentiments with it are darling!  I hope you can see where I was going with the sketch....yeah, me neither!  LOL  But I do love how the card turned out.  

Have a great day and make sure you go to the Mojo Monday blog and see what the other gals did.  Then link up your project using the keyword MOJO153.  Ciao!

Loonie Stampers 100th Challenge

Our 100th challenge...I can't believe it either!  But here we are and this week it was Regan's turn to pick what we did. I went with orange as since I got my new orange shoes from Char, I keep looking for something orange to wear with them!  I also used my new set from There She Goes stamps, A Drink a Day!  It is a great one...make sure you check it out as there are some great sentiments to go along with all the great images! I got to help out Jessica  little with it, it was fun!

I was with my Loonie's a week ago and then working at my head office for a week (that is why I have been MIA) so I haven't been crafting and need to catch up on my 'card jobs' this weekend!   But I have guests arriving tomorrow for a few days and with the Calgary Stampede starting yesterday, I am unsure where I am going to fit all this in.   I see a 'sick day' in my future...LOL!

I want to share one picture with you before my challenge card and that is all of us in Stamping Bella land.  We were able to see Emily (Char and I got to meet her on the cruise a couple years back) and missed her, she is so great!  My picture with Em didn't turn out, which is too bad as we were all laughing so hard! We had a blast there....like kids in a Candystore! 

The rest of our trip was great!  Then I was off to Aurora, Ontario working in the heat...OMG, it was crazy, but to be honest, I loved it, we don't get enough really hot days here in Calgary so I took full advantage and spent lunches outside!

Have a great weekend!  I am off to pick up Joely, haven't seen her in 10 days...chomping at the bit a little!   Ciao Bella's!

Mojo Monday x 2!

I hadn't posted my Mojo Monday card from last week so today you are getting 2 for the price of 1!    

This is last weeks sketch at the Mojo Monday blog.  I had quite a time with those 3 strips and figuring out what to use there so I went with ribbon and I think my decision was a good one!  I don't use my Poppies set from There She Goes stamps nearly enough!  I love it so much and so fun to colour.  I am pretty sure there isn't yellow poppies but it worked for the card! 

Stuff:   Stamps - TSG's Poppies;  Paper - White, True Thyme, Cosmo Cricket dp;  Supplies - Nesty's, Copics, SU & PTI ribbon, Embossing folder, bling

Now for today's sketch, which I love by the way!  Or maybe it is just because I love how my card turned out as well!  

I will definitely use this sketch again (don't I say that a lot and then a new sketch comes out and I love that one too) but really, all the stuff just came together on this card.  My FIL loved it which made it all the better! 

Don't forget to head over to the Mojo Monday blog and play along.  Just link up your project with Mr Linky using the keyword MOJO144.  The Mojo Makers rocked this week with their cards for this sketch too...they must of loved it like I did! 

Have a great Monday!
