Livin large!



Does anyone else out there have days when everything seems to go wrong? I tell ya....the vaccum, the washing machine, the plumbing, the sprinklers...in spite of all the things that seems to pile up on me today, somehow I was still able to have a good day. The kids are on Spring Break and we are just taking it easy! The vaccuum is broke? Great! I don't have to vaccuum! ( I know I can't spell that word) anyway, somedays it is great to just be a mom and enjoy the moment instead of worrying about all the stupid stuff going on around you.
The good new is, my sister had her baby on Sunday! She named her Quincie Cline. Isn't that the cutest name? I can't wait to meet the little munchkin!
So, I am sharing this card made with another new set called Living Large. The background is the AWESOME paisley background stamp in bordering blue, the girl with flowers is stamped in black and colored in with prismacolor colored pencils. This card kind of shows how I am feeling. My cup runneth over. In spite of all the little irritating things that happened today, I am extremely blessed! What a wonderful life I have. I hope you all take a few moments to count your blessings today. :o)

What a great card. And a great attitude. I want to be just like you when I grow up! Were you inspired by the bellas that everyone seems to be stamping these days?

Fridays challenge #63

This week has been crazy. We had a fun Labor day and then actually went to school the rest of the week! The storms decided to stay away for a while. I'm glad. Our challenge this time was a color challenge. The colors are Ridinghood red, Tangerine and Pacific Point. All new In Colors at Stampin' Up! for the new catalog. I love all these colors but, together....they were a challenge! I decided to play up the red and blue and use the tangerine as a highlight. I pulled out my True Friend stamp set and stamped the large medallion style stamp all over the ridinghood red using my basic black stamp pad. It looked okay....but then I remembered the Banadana technique Pat shared in a recent Technique Junkie newsletter . You all know how much I LOVE my white gel pen, so...I went to work. I won't tell you how the bandana technique works, you'll have to visit Pat for that info. She puts out a fabulous newsletter every other month, FULL of great stampin ideas. I hear she has some gre...

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
