Out of my comfort zone!

Last night I got an idea to try a card with really big corners, (if you look at the picture of the card I made you'll know what I'm talking about) so..... I sat down picked out my PP's (Fancy Pants - Kewel Line), made my corner, found some ribbon I thought would be nice ....then nothing....... so I gave up an went to bed.

Then as I was laying there reading (becuase I just can't fall asleep unless I read till my eyes shut on their own), I though of this piece of Pink Creative imaginations Paper I had, and how Amy Westerman, on her blog Heartfelt Greetings (one of my favorites I might add) would easily be able to make this work and look fantastic!She does amazing work of combining bold/different prints and colors!

Well, I tried! Here is my end result. I don't exactly dislike it (and maybe I should?) but I'm not exactly "happy" with it either! I think it's definately Lacking somwhere! But then if we don't try we never move on, right? Just thought I'd share!

The Love Stamp is another from Skipping Stones Designs.

Wowzer!

I entered a contest on the Scraplovers website, and I won 3rd place! Yeah! So I got my prize Pkg. today, for 3rd place I was thinking I'd might get a 6x6 pad of Cosmo Cricket paper, as that's who was sponsoring the contest, but look what I received! So much fun! I can't wait to play, I may even try a layout, if I can manage to get some photos printed!

Oh yeah, the drum stick was not included in the pkg., my son thought I wouldn't notice he'd added that in when I went to get the camera!

So I'm sending a special "Thank you" out there to Scraplovers, as I know a lot of this has come from their store, and to Cosmo Cricket!

Happy scrapping everyone!

Sketch This Contest

Here is my entry for the Sketch This contest....now to remember to do the next 2 cards...LOL! This card is sooo out of the norm for me, but I think I like it....hope you do to!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Hope you all had a great weekend, I know we did. My FIL and MIL won tickets to the Nova Scotia International Tattoo, Dinner, a hotel stay, and breakfast the next morning....and they kindly give it to DH and I for DH's Birthday. So....that's what we did this weekend. It was so nice! The Tattoo was amazing, although a little long, at just over 3 1/2 hrs. The Tattoo is a Military performance with various Militaries from across the globe participating. There are Bands, marching formations, rifle displays, singing performances (this years included Opera....must say though, not a huge fan of that!) Anyway it was still amazing, and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see it!
Here's a card I made using Skipping stones design's -In Stitches set, just a simple card to highlight the stamps! Below is a simple little gift tin, to use for a "thank you" gift for a girlfriend. Again I used Skipping Stone's stamps - Well behaved women set. Around the bottom of the tin it reads: I'm only ast strong as my control tops, my hirspray, and my friends.

And finally, Lee, as you predicted, and I expected, Bunny number 2 made it's first appearance on Friday. The're just so cute! So far they haven't done any damage, as I'm not a big gardener, so except for the Cat knocking things over running from window to window as they hop around the yard, their presence is not a big deal for us!
Have a great day Everyone! TFL!

A couple more!

Here are a couple of more cards I made this morning. Now, I must go finish DH's B-day cake...the children and I are working on it together but one needed a bathroom break and then the other needed an apple sauce break? I'm hope the cake will get done before he gets home from work! LOL!!! Have a great day all!

CPS Sketch

Here is the card I did last weekend for CPS sketch # 20. I'm not a huge star fan, but I think it turned out Ok, and I think the star is starting to grow on me, the more that I look at it. I may have to try something else with stars !

I'm Back!

Hello!

Well, we finally made it home! It took us a little longer then expected as our car broke down, so we ended up spending a couple of extra days at the In-laws, but we had fun! The kids got to go on the Legion's float in the July 1st parade with Nana, Grampie marched in front! I even managed to get a couple of cards made while away.

This first one I made for a swap on the Simply Sentiments website. The theme was stars, and this is what I came up with, using my MIL's scraps. The star is sewn onto the scalloped circle.

This next one I made last night just playing around, I know it looks kind of plain, but I'm waiting to recieve my next stamp set from Skipping Stones Designs, as there is a sentiment I think would be perfect for it!

I have one more card that I made while away, but it's just not quite done yet, so I'll probably post that one tomorrow! Have a great day everyone!

TFL!

Oh yeah, I was tagged! So I must tell 7 unknown things about myself:

1. I'm normally very shy person, but try my best to hide it.
2. I'm a very anxious person and am prone to "mini" anxiety attacks when I'm in situations I find uncomfortable.
3. I can hold a grude forever, I will forgive, but will never forget.
4. I HATE confrontations of any kind, If I'm upset with someone, they will never know it!

Boy this is hard....

5. I love whales and have a tatoo of an Orca on my ankle! Would love to go diving with some one day!
6. Growing up I wanted to be a Marine Biologist, but I fell in love, and life led me in a different direction!
7. At 32 yrs. old, I have yet to figure out what to do with my life? I have this feeling there's somthing I'm supposed to be doing, I just can't figure it out!

Now, I have no idea who to tag, as everone I actually know, has been tagged along with me, and most of you who leave comments on my blog have been tagged already. So I think this round of tagging will end with me. When I get some more time to browse I'll see if I can find anyone out there who hasn't been tagged recently!
