{ In need of some crafty time! }

How about you? I am in desperate need. It is a good thing that I am heading off to the Pantry tomorrow night for our monthly Calgal gathering!! I should hopefully have some new stuff to show off soon. I have been playing with my Copics quite a bit lately and plan to do some more tomorrow night...since I will be surrounded by Copic pros! ;0) But I am also planning to play with the Hello Kitty cartridge to work on some loot bag prezzies for my youngest daughters bday party coming up next weekend. So stay tuned for that!

Just a quickie for ya tonight. This was a card I made for MojoMonday #69. This was an image that I borrowed from Nancy during one of our Calgal gatherings. Is this not the best? I might have to borrow some more now that I have my Copics to play with! Okay...I know this one is a bit bright...a little out of my normal color scheme...but I actually quite like this one! Then again...Julee's sketches always help!

My youngest came home from school today feeling quite lousy...she did not go to ballet tonight. It is a good thing there is no school tomorrow. Here's hoping she will be better to go to her make-up class for ballet on Saturday.

Have a great weekend! Oh and don't forget...signups for the February Aloha RAK Group and also for my January Christmas Card Challenge!!

{ Another TCP creation! }

I know I have said this already, but...Thank You Allison!! I tell ya these TCP images are too cute and they sure did help me to get all my Christmas cards done! Whewww! These last bunch of cards I did were quick...although I miss not adding some embellishments to them...but I needed them to be done quickly. I am definitely gonna get a handle on the cards for next year though. I am starting in January and gonna try and do up at least 5 each month. Wish me luck! ;0)

How is everyone doing on getting their holiday stuffs done? I was off on another 5 hr shopping trip yesterday...but I am done!! I am off to take my Mom shopping today, so hopefully after today I won't have to be out there any more...although, the girls still need to get their gifts for each other, Daddy and the Grandparents. So I guess I am not done. :0( I tell ya...I am gonna need a holiday after Christmas is over!! At least the kids are off for 2 weeks soon...maybe they will let Mom sleep in for a day or two...ya right!! ;0)

{ Another Stamp Company for me to Love! }

First off...dam you Allison!! ;0) just kidding...Last weekend at the stamp fest with Nancy,Shannon and Allison I was lucky enough to 'steal' TCP images off Allison. Well...I am in love with these images. These are not only cute, but just are great for quick and easy cards! Thanks again Allison...I think! Here is another card I did with the 3 Penguins...See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil...
I also wanted to share the great RAK we all received from Nancy on the weekend too. Isn't this bag cute! She included a cute Snowman ornament and a couple of acrylic Michaels stampsets...which I don't happen to already have! Thanks again, Nancy!

I also wanted to share a late entry for last months Challenge. Unfortunately, it was too late for the candy, but I still wanted to share it with you all. This one comes from Bobbie...please check out her blog for all the details. Thanks again Bobbie for playin' along.

Well, only 5 more cards to make and I am done!! All the rest went postal yesterday. So be on the lookout...you may get one in the mail very soon. ;0)

{ More Christmas RAK's }

So everyone ready for Christmas yet?? I am getting there...slowly! ;0)

Just thought I would share some more RAK's I received on Friday. This first one is from my friend Nancy. I just love these little penguins from TAC. Thanks again, Nancy!

This next one is from my friend Charlene. I just love this image! And Charlene also sent along a great stamp with the Chinese symbol for Friend and some stamped Housemouse and Happy Hopper images. Thank you so much Charlene!

And finally this last one is from the one and only...Allison. This is such a cute card...and my girls really like it too! Thanks, Allison. :0)

I got to spend Saturday night stampin' with Nancy, Shannon and Allison. We had lots of fun...or at least I did! ;0) Allison brought some of her TCP stamps. All I can say is...guess what stamps I will be buying now after Christmas!!! This ones for you Allison...thanks again! I had lots of fun with these last night. I actually made up about 5 cards in a few hours...I think that might be a record for me! I also got to use my Verve Visual stamps that I won from Toni! I am lovin' this card!
