{ Thinking of You }

Last week I need to send out a 'Thinking of You' card to a family of some friends from High School. This is a very simply card, but I love these Stamp It Australia DP images for doing Sympathy cards.

On a happier note...it was my bday this week and I received the new Wii Fit Plus from my Hubby and Mom. If you don't already have Wii Fit or if you have the old one? Get the new one! It is so much fun! My arms are sore from 'flapping my wings'...and no, I don't mean the flab under my arms!! ;0)

Have a great day!

{ What a fun weekend! }

Wow! I must say that even though I was not feeling 100%? I had a great time at the Calgary Classic. I will definitely be attending next year too! I had a goal of 40 cards...what the heck was I thinking? I did manage to get 16 done though...so not too bad. And I was also VERY lucky this weekend. We had the opportunity to decorate our name tags and then we all got to vote on our favorite. Well, thanks to all my table mates...I won!! Thanks guys for all the votes! I won the SU set For a Friend...which I do not own. I also won one of the random draws. It was a great package full of DP, gems, black writer pen, and other great goodies. And there was another great win...thanks to one of my table mates and very good friend...but I will get into that at a later date. ;0) All in all? A pretty darn good weekend...thanks to Nancy, Shannon, Merlie, Crystal, Linda and Dianne! And of course to Adelee and Christine ... thank you for all your hard work organizing and making this weekend so awesome!!

I will share some of my creations from this weekend...once I get the pics uploaded. But for now?

Another creation using one of my favorite DP lines...Stampit Australia. This is the black and white sheet. As with this one...I colored the centre of the flower with a blender pen and some Barely Banana. Very simple...but the paper says it all!

Thanks for stoppin' by.

{ Gift giving Season is upon us! }

That's right! I originally saw this tutorial on Beates blog and thought what a great way to use up some of the 500 coasters I have! This was the project I did this month for my class. This would make a great Christmas or winter Bday gift. And this Stamp It Austrailia paper is perfect! Anyone in the Calgary area can pick up this paper at the Scrapbook Pantry. So...what do you think? I was planning to use my Bind-it-all, but I did not have the right sized coils for this project and could not get any in time. But I think the ribbon actually gives it a nice 'romantic' feel. Think I will be making some more of these!

Also, before I forget...here was my September Aloha RAK that I received from Colleen. How awesome was this?! Love that little matching mint holder. I can not wait to dig into those mints...I almost forgot about them. ;0) Thanks again, Colleen.

I also recieved some BRAKs yesterday. This first one is from my friend Nancy. And she used her new TCP stamps too! Thanks again, Nancy. :0)

The second one is from Joan(froglady @ SCS). What a fun card. I love that stamped background! I really should try this more often. Thank you so much, Joan for thinking of me.

I have a couple of 'tags' that I need to work on that I have received from a few people the past week or so. I will be back...

{ Friend... }

Just a quick post as I am off to work in a few minutes. But I had to share my newest creation! I got a chance to play with some new paper I picked up at the Scrapbook Pantry last week. It is called Floraide 9up from the Flourish line from Stamp-it Austrailia. Love, love, love it!! This image is from a 12 X 12 sheet that I cut. There are 9 individual images. I then took some Barely Banana ink and a blender pen and added some yellow highlight to the center of the flower, matted it, stamped Friend to the inside and finally added some silver Dewdrops. So simple, but I SO do love it! Thanks Nancy for showing me this paper!
Hope you all have a great day and thanks for stoppin' by!
