How cute is Willow?

So Willow with hot chocolate is one of my very favorites I have to say....She is fun to color and I have to say it must be coffee and not hot chocolate but then again I need lots and lots of caffeine to stay active...lol....These are Whiff Of Joy Stamps ......I just love her line of stamps....Although I do find living in Hawaii that I generally have an issue purchasing any type of stamps that include snow I'm just not drawn to that type of image....I don't why that is....If you have haven't been on her site go check it out....Awesome stuff and her blog is amazing....I have been a busy bee working on Halloween favors and trying to get all the fun goodies done....Only a few more days....Imagine....I love Halloween....Our friends celebrate their anniversary on Halloween....I need to get their card out today also....Lucky for me they live on a neighbor island so only takes two days....alright enough with my ramblings huh....So here is the details of the card...

Recipe
Paper - SU Cardstock, Daisy Dee's Pattern Paper
Stamps - WOF, Verve Sentiment
Tools - Quickutz Flourish & Photo Corners, SU! Ticket Corner Punch, Janome Petite Sewing Machine , CB Embossing Folder and Sizzix File Die

A Spoon Full of Sugar

I made this card for A Spoon Full of Sugar sketch from last week I finished this card last week but I didn't get it posted so I thought today would be a good day for that....I love this old Basic Grey paper I think it's called lilykate but I really haven't done much with this little six by six pad so I pulled it out....I have been on a purple kick lately which is so fun cause that used to be my favorite color years ago but I have moved on to Pink & Brown....Today I need to finish up all the Halloween stuff for the boys class and get ready for Dominick's birthday......My baby is turning eleven....When did this happen and why....Oh so sad....His dad is flying in tomorrow for a week an I love seeing my son so super excited....He saw him last in January at grandma's house.....So it should be a busy weekend....Birthday, Halloween, football game, beach time and hiking....I think my boy will be pretty tired when it's all said and done....So enough with the personal info...Back to the card.....

I used a white card base and stitched the pattern paper to it....I cute a strip of blue paper and used MS border punch colored my image and added a few flowers....I just love simple fast cards....That makes me so happy....

Recipe
Paper - SU! cardstock, Basic Grey pattern paper
Stamps - Sugar Nellie
Accessories - MS punch, Quickutz photo corners, copic markers

Just a thought I wanted to share....I love sewing but often get mad when my corners look like junk so I really like the idea of added the photo corners....I covers up my messy stitching and it adds more to the card or project....I can't wait to hear what you think....Have a great day and thanks for stopping by....Love Love

Standing Fall Tilda

Isn't she so cute....I love this image....Well I guess every Tilda I love but she's a new one so I guess I just love her more right now I guess....Oh and of course I love this Martha Stewart Punch....It's just adds such a nice touch I think....I have been coloring with my new color Koh-I-Noor pencils and Gamsol and I'm just loving the results....How easy the colors blend....I just love the way it comes out.....As you may notice I have used my super old 2004 pattern paper from SU! can you believe I still have some...I have plans to finish up so projects today and try to post everyday this week....We will have to see how that goes.....

I found a really great blog with some amazing cards last night....I love her artwork....She has a chance to win some Whiff of Joy blogs candy check it out here before October 17th for a chance to win....Good Luck....

Not much going on today....Our new baby has been a little sick throwing up and runny you know what....So last night I was up with her and his morning she was just laying there not moving which really scared me....She truly has become my baby and I love her so much....So anyhow I had to wait until eight and then take her to the vet which she doesn't like being in her carrier so she cried all the way there....And made herself so upset that she made you know what all over the inside, top, bottom and sides of her carrier....So I had a sick baby all day....It has been awhile since I've had a baby ya know....But she is feeling better and starting to act like her cute playful self again and we are so happy for that.....

So about the cards I have one almost done it needs a few finishing touches but I might get it on here tonight or in the morning....I have been doing a lot of sewing on my cards and I'm just loving it....I have had a few people ask about the sewing machine that I use so I wanted to share that info....I have Janome Petite which is a mini sewing machine that does like eight different stitches and it was like $99.99 so very reasonable....I got mine at the scrapbook store I worked at but I want to say that I saw one at wal-mart....I will get back with more information next time I go to wal-mart....Well I need to get back to coloring so I can post....Thanks for stopping by....

Happy Hallowen!

I'm super excited about this Tilda Halloween card....It's my first and my friend Tanja was so sweet to to sent me this image.....Isn't she too cute....SO I put this together yesterday....I had so much fun....I pulled out my little sewing machine and stitched the edges, used CB embossing folder to make the black spider web, Magnolia Tilda image, I used some black embroidery floss to lace up her books, and the ghost and tombstone are buttons, the ribbon I got from a local scrapbook store and that's about it....The coloring and cutting of the image was probably the hardest part of the card but so worth it.....I was so excited to have this card finished....So what do you think....

High Hopes Blog Candy going on over at Bunny-Zoe blog.....it's for two cute cute stamps....I really loved these images and the boys would love them to....Trust me they don't get that excited about stamps but these I think they would love.....So today is the last day so check it out....

I'd Rather Be Stamping!

This is a Sugar Nellie image that my friend Camille got which I love so when she came over last week I thought it would be a perfect image to color and make a card with....I pulled out this super old Making Memories pattern paper that I have had forever so that was good.....I always feel so good when I used up something or well anything that I have had for way to long...So we colored the image with copic markers, cut some flourish pieces with Quickutz die, used some lace, prima flowers and the stamp "I'd rather be stamping is from amuse....Not a hard card and it came together super easy and fast.....Well I have another Halloween card I'm almost done with so let me get that finished so I can post it....Have not done any stamping today cause my dear sweet husband took me on a date to lunch and the movies....It was so nice I honestly cant remember the last time we did that....Thanks for stopping by....Love Love

Our New Baby!

Isn't she the cutest thing you have ever seen.....I'm so in love....It's a girl.....I have waited my whole life for another girl to be in the house.....So let me tell you about her....Her name is Bella what can I say this is what the boys agreed to....Angela (Dominick) or Bell (Jared) and of course dad say how about dog so I said what about Bella and that was the end of it....She is half Chihuahua and half Brussel Griffen....She is chocolate Brown (which goes so well with pink).....She will be about 8 to 10 pounds when she is fully grown....She is such a cuddling baby....It's just like having a brand new baby in the house......She eats, sleeps, goes bathroom and plays and then does it all over again....So I haven't been spending much time stamping as I have been attending to the new baby.....We are all so excited about the new addition to the family and I wanted to share.....Happy stamping and thanks for stopping by....

We Miss The Girls!

We were so lucky to have the girls come and stay with us for two weeks....The have grown up into young women (which sure makes us feel old) and such great girls....It makes me miss living on the mainland.....We don't get to see them so much although they have come to visit often....I'm not sure if it's to see us or to visit Hawaii.....Maybe both....I had to get a few shots of them all together and as I was editing them this one was just my favorite.....The girls are Vernon's sisters daughters and even Vernon is shocked at how grown up they are.....Well I just wanted to share this quick picture of the the kids together....Happy Friday!!!
