One Wonderful Life

2010-08-25T21:14:00.000-07:00

Well, I bet you thought I fell off the face of the earth ;) I've recently become a "working" mother of 3 now and have had to get myself used to that again. Then with the start of a new school year, we've been busy getting ready and off to school. It was a bear trying to get them back on a "normal" sleeping pattern again, lol! They like to stay up late (real late) during their summer break.
Although, I haven't made much time for cardmaking :( I managed to whip up a wedding card last Saturday, at the last minute, for a friend. It's kind of simple, but I like how it turned out. Hope you do too!
I'm hoping, I will get my mojo back real soon. I need to make use of all the new supplies I've been buying and hoarding, hee!hee!

Hello, I'm still here! Sorry I've been neglecting my blog lately, but I have been crazy busy. I have been getting some cards made though, just haven't made the time to get them photographed, uploaded, edited, and posted. Again, sorry.....my bad :(
While at a NSD crop I attended at the church, I made some more cards. I decided ahead of time that I was just taking card making supplies. I didn't do any scrapbooking, although I should have, as I am getting "really" behind on those. I took mostly my JustRite stamps with me, along with my nesties.
This weeks JustRite challenge is a sketch and the challenge is being sponsored by Stamper's Dream. What a great sketch! Here is my sample:

2009-07-22T16:47:00.000-07:00

This is my entry for Sweet Stop Sketch Saturday. This weeks sketch had a spin to it: Christmas in July! That's right, now I have one Christmas card finished ahead of time, heehee! The rule was to use a Christmas image. How simple is that! So, with that being said, Cute Card Thursday's challenge was the same: Christmas in July! I used the same card for my entry over there also.

Cardstock: Bazzill, DCWV, and GP

I decided to use this card for two challenges. Why not kill two birds with one stone, huh? kerinstamps.com was a sketch challenge and thedigishack.wordpress challenge was to incorporate clouds. I made this card, mainly from scraps. I've been trying to use them up as often as I can.

SUPPLIES

Stamps: Stampendous Changito and sentiment

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Cardstock: GP, Core'dinations, and DCWV

P.Paper: DCWV

Accessories: Copics and Glossy Accents

I cut a piece of scrap paper into a cloud like shape and sponged around it to give the cloud affect.

Card for my Mother

2009-05-21T21:06:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my mom. She had mentioned to my sisters and I, that if we got her anything, she would like some flower seeds for the outside around her house. I thought this card went well with the gift. I got the cool idea from SCS, just tweaked the size alittle. http://sluman.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2009/01/25/flower-pot-pocket-card/

Hello, I'm finally gonna get the nerve to post something, lol! I've had my blog for quite some time now, but I haven't had the nerve to post anything. I figured I might as well, since I want to start entering some of the sketch challenges that I'm constantly checking out. Everyone is so motivating. I will post some of the cards I've created lately, certainly not all. Hope you like them, as I am not as talented as many of the ladies I follow.
