US Citizen

Friday the 13th is usually a scary day, but not this year. My great friend Ayman was sworn in as a U.S. Citizen. I couldn't wait to make this card for him. He has been waiting for this day for so long. Congratulations Ayman!!!

For my friend

My wonderful friend Debi is an inspiration to many. She was diagnosed with cancer about 2 years ago right after the birth of her 2nd son. Debi has 2 small boys and a wonderful husband. She doesn't stop living for her family. She is truly amazing! She recently had a scan that showed her tumors have shrunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made this card for Debi just to let her know how happy I am to have her in my life and how excited I am about her wonderful news. I love ya Debi!!!

PARTY STARTERS!!!

You haven't heard of Party Starters? Oh, why, surely you must have. If not, get over there NOW!!!!

Pam is one of the owners of Party Starters and she made a BEAUTIFUL Pink Glittery Guitar cake for my daughter Hanna's 9th birthday party! I will stuff each slice of cake with some goodies for her girlfriends (if I can part with this haaa haaa) and they will each take home a slice of this beauty.

Pam, I just love you to death! You have done such a fantastic job and Hanna is going to be so very thrilled to receive this cake. I am keeping this as a surprise to her Hannah Montana Party and won't bring it out until the last minute. Hanna will die. She is such a girly girl. The colors, the feathers, the bling...Hanna is going to be in heaven. Thanks a million Pam!!!

Time for the Pumpkin Patch

I wanted to do something a little different for Joey's kindergarten class for treats. So, I made a pumpkin patch. Each child can come up and pick out his/her own pumpkin. I just used green floral foam, covered it in CS and then punched out pumpkin stamps and taped them onto the suckers. Simple and cute.

October monthly swap

I never remember to post my card swaps for some reason. Here I remembered to take a picture. This was for a Birthday theme swap.

Have to share this...

My very GOOD and very crafty friend Tonya has created the most beautiful wedding card I have seen. You have to go HERE and check this out.

LOVE IT Tonya!!!!

Name plate

My friend asked me to make her a name plate for her soon to bee niece Catie. This is what I came up with. I think it is just too stinkin cute!!!

One more pre-teen b-day card

I guess it's a good thing I held onto this Bella stamp. It seems to be the hit of the middle school. I made this card for my daughter to give another one of her friends for her birthday.

Happy Halloween!!!

Here is another card I did for the monthly swap. If it wasn't for these swaps, I am not sure I would even get to stamp anymore. I thought I would have so much more time once the kids started school.
