I know that not too many people will actually see this post, but it has been so long and so much has been going on in our lives that I really wanted to come onto my blog and put a post with the hopes of getting back to doing this on a regular basis. I truly miss all my friends in the blog world, and I think it is the perfect time for me to jump back in. lol<br />
So, first let me just say that the M&Ms both GRADUATED from High School on Saturday and both their Dad and myself could not be prouder of these two awesome gifts that we have the honor of calling our Children. :O) <br />
After their awesome graduation and party with friends and family we have had the rest of this week to spend together as I have unfortunately lost my job and waiting to start a new chapter in my life as a banker. Yes, I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I will be going back to work come this Monday on the 13th. I am very blessed that it didn't take me long to find a new job and I am hoping one that I am truly going to love. (at least I think I will, lol) It is going to be interesting to start over in a new direction after having been in pharmacy for over 26 years. Ok, enough of my boring news about my job issues. <br />
<br />
Now, onto today's card. Of course the kids need to send out a ton of Thank You cards and even though I had them purchase those, (their responsibility now) it put me in the mood to make a few of my own for some very special people that helped me to make their party a great success. <br />
<br />

I am sorry to say that when I made this card I wasn't thinking of putting it on my blog, so I didn't write down any of my info on stamps, washi or card stock that I used. I will however get back into doing to very soon. That is my goal as of this morning. lol.... Wish me luck!<br />
I hope you are all doing well and having a great start to the very early start of what is soon to be summer. So far this week and last week we have been in triple digits and it isn't even summer. ugh....<br />

Wow, can you guys believe that Easter is this Sunday? I have been so busy with work, Weddings (My Wonderful Nephew got married on April 1st), Spring Break & a mini Vacation as well as a wonderful Spring Cold that I really just didn't realize it was already here. lol... Seriously, I just realized it was this Sunday as I was cleaning off my desk this morning and marking things on my wall calendar. <br />
However, even though Easter is upon us I have a non Easter card I want to share today because I just really love how this one turned out. I might have to post a couple more times in the next day or two as I have a ton of cards that I have made for the store that I just haven't managed to get on the computer yet. Grrrr... What's a mom/crafter/wife to day? :O) <br />
Moving right along... For your viewing pleasure I have this card I made from the AWESOME stamp set 'Coffee Lovers' <a href="http://mystylestamps.blogspot.com/">from MMS</a>. I am so glad to have finally been able to pick this set up from Nicole as she sold out of it right away on our release day. When I got it in the mail I instantly when to town with it. I know I love me a great Latte and I love to get smoothies just like the next person, but my family LOVE'S Icees. Yes, it can be an Icee it can be a slushy it can even be a Slurpy (my ALL TIME FAVE!), but ultimately they just love them. <br />
We all have our own favorite flavors. My hubby has to have a Coke one, my Daughter and I both prefer the Blue Raspberry and well my Son he loves them all and most times he has to put both the Wild Cherry and the Blue Raspberry together. lol... I love a kid that knows his own tastes and sticks to them. So when I decided to make my Icee card I wanted it to have all of us represented on the front of the card. Then I pulled out the stamp set 'Warm Thoughts' for the sentiment on the inside of my card. Needless to say, he really love the card. <br />
Even though this is a DT card and I used mostly <a href="http://mystylestamps.blogspot.com/">My Style Stamps</a> for this card I do want to mention that I used my LF 'Quinn's ABCs' to get the ICEE on the front of this card. It was so easy to do and if you 'Google' Icee, you'll find 100s of pictures showing their logo and whatnot. As I said, it was easy to stamp and hand cut these out as the logo isn't perfect. I know we have all gotten where we love having matching dies for our stamps, but sometimes it's just too much money to get both so I try to not let that get in the way of my creativity. <br />
One last thing before I let you go. be sure to check out <a href="http://mystylestamps.blogspot.com/">My Style Stamps Blog</a>. Carol is ever so sweet and she works really hard to put up all our DT projects, cards and all. So be sure to head over and give her some love. Don't forget you can find us on Facebook and play along as well. We would love to see you there. <br />
Ok guys, if you've lasted this long with me I thank you ever so much. I know I am a talker, and can go on and on, so I will wish you all a very HAPPY EASTER if you celebrate it. <br />
Talk at you later. <br />
Hugs LisaG<br />

<br />
Wow, what a week. I can honestly say that I am happy that it is almost Friday and I have the weekend off. So, one more day of work and then it's time to get crafty or play outside! :O) <br />
As most of you know I am currently on the My Style Stamps DT, and on Fridays it is my day to post something I have created using these fantastic stamps. So, for this week I decided to pull <br />
out this adorable set from Halloween called What's Brewing. Yes, you read correctly... It is a Halloween set and I happen to think this frog is just the Bee's Knees. lol... He is such a cutie and as all cuties have friends I paired him up with these cute little butterflies from her Fly High set. <br />
You see they all went to the park to enjoy a fantastic Spring day and smell the gorgeous (sequin) flowers while they are there. Just go with me here. lmbo....<br />
At any rate, I really love how this card came together and it just did exactly what I had envisioned it to do so I am a happy girl. <br />
I hope you like as well, and I hope you all have a wonderful Spring weekend. Talk at you all later. <br />
Hugs Lisa G <br />

I'm not sure anyone even comes to my blog anymore, but I miss it and I want to start sharing my cards again. I have been super busy between work, family, the My Style Stamps DT and making cards for the shop here in town that other than posting to the MSS Facebook page and making a YouTube video once in awhile, I just don't have enough time in a day . Not complaining in anyway, just telling it like it is. lol... I'm sure most of you can relate. <br />
So, I want to share this cute card that I made for the MSS designer Sketch Challenge #1 over on Facebook. We are hosting these challenges on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month and for this one you have until March 31st to get up to three projects done and posted for your chance to win a $10 GC to the MSS shop. So be sure to check us out over on Facebook. <br />
With this card I used the awesome stamp set called 'Warm Thoughts' and as you can see it is perfect for card making. I am very happy with how she turned out. I even used this fantastic 'charcoal' cardstock from Neenah as my base color on my card and I love it. I am thinking you'll be seeing more of that color in the future as I really really love how nice it looks. :O) <br />
Ok guys, I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and if I don't get back here until next week have a great weekend as well. <br />

I hope that you have all had a great week. I have to work tomorrow and Saturday, but I wanted to put up a post and share a little of what I have been up to. <br />
As most of you know I am on the Design Team for My Style Stamps and we post daily to our Facebook page. My day to post my projects or cards is on Friday, so I seem to be neglecting my blog lately. I have also been making YouTube videos as well and that has lead to even more neglect of my blog. :O( <br />
So, as my blog is my heart and my beginning on this wonderful journey of Copic coloring and crafting in general I really wanted to come and say "Hi" and see what all of you have been up to. I am hoping to get back into my blog, so please come back if you can and visit. <br />
I wanted to share with you all a card I made with the stamp set ' What Cake?' from My Style Stamps. I just love this little lady and the fact that she is trying to hide the cake that she has just devoured. lol... I also have a very good friend who's Birthday is coming up next week and I wanted to make her a card. So I put them both together and this is what I came up with. I used my enamel dots (yes, I am still hopelessly addicted to them) to bring out the party feel to my card while using softer tones as that is what my friend really loves as far as color schemes go. <br />
I had a great time coloring this stamp and I really enjoyed using my Glossy Accents to help bring out the yummy goodness of the frosting that is dripping out of her mouth. :O) <br />
I hope you all enjoy my card and if you get a chance be sure to check us out of Facebook and at Nicole's shop as well. She always has great products and specials going on. These stamps are photopolymer and they really stamp up wonderfully.<br />
Ok guys, have a great weekend and I will talk at you later. <br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

I hope you all had a wonderful week. I know for me this week just flew bye. I have to work tomorrow, but I am hoping to get some crafty time in once I get home and with the Super Bowl behind us now I am sure to have time Sunday to get inky and play with my stamps.<br />
As you know, Friday is my day to put up a post over on the Facebook page for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1550221961884704/1563785390528361/?comment_id=1563785950528305&notif_t=group_comment">My Style Stamps.</a> This week I decided to give it a go at making some of my own 'pocket page inserts'. I have a good friend that loves to scrapbook that way, but doesn't have the budget to go out and buy a lot of the pre-made cards that go along with that style of scrapbooking. Well, I thought that gave me a great opportunity to make her a pack of cards that would work into the kinds of pages that she like to scrap.<br />
Thanks to my ever growing collection of<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1550221961884704/1563785390528361/?comment_id=1563785950528305&notif_t=group_comment"> My Style Stamps stamps</a> I was able to make her up a few cards just last night. I think it took me all of 45 minutes to make them all and I had so much fun doing it. I just ordered a BUNCH of stamps from the <a href="http://www.mystylestamps.com/">My Style Stamps store </a>this last weekend as Nicole had all of her stamps in the store on sales, so once I get my haul I am sure that I will be able to make even more cards for her. The best part is that I know she is going to LOVE these cards as they are made to fit in with her children and with her lifestyle. <br />
If you haven't made your own cards, or if you know someone that would love cards made for them I really encourage you to give this idea a try. It wasn't my idea, it was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1550221961884704/1563502153890018/?notif_t=group_comment_reply">Danielle Pandeline </a>from our Facebook group who came up with the idea on her post Tuesday, but I just had to have a go at it. :O) As I mentioned, I was playing with this, but I have so many more ideas in my head now that I can only imagine just how elaborate you could get with this. <br />
We would love to see what you come up with, so please come over to our Facebook page and share any and all the things you make. You don't have to use My Style Stamps to play, you don't have to make page cards, Nicole just wants to you come over and play with us. If you happen to use our stamps that is GREAT, but please remember with My Style Stamps we are about the creativity, not just the stamps! SO have FUN!!!<br />
Ok guys off to work I go. Have a wonderful weekend and I will talk at you later.<br />
Hugs LisaG<br />

<br />
I hope you all had a great week! Can you believe that it is that tomorrow is the very last day of January 2015? I know they say as you get older time goes by faster, by my word. Can't it just slow down just a tad? lol....<br />
I am going be real quick with this. Today I went down to the Made in (our town) shop to add six more Valentine's cards to sell., I am so excited to tell you that so far all of the cards I have taken down have been sold. I am in shock that anyone would pay that much for a homemade card, but I'm not complaining. :O) I am so happy and I hope that it continues to be a good thing for me.<br />
OK, let's get to the reason I am popping into my blog today. That would be so that I can share the fact that over on Facebook all the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mystylestamps?ref=eyJzaWQiOiIwLjI1MjY2NjY1MDkwNjg5OTMiLCJxcyI6IkpUVkNKVEl5VFhrbE1qQlRkSGxzWlNVeU1GTjBZVzF3Y3lVeU1pVTFSQSIsImd2IjoiNzQ2NmMyMGFjODlmNDdkNjE4NWYzYTY1MTQ2MWMxYjFiYWM5YTgyZCJ9">MSS girls </a>have been working all week to provide inspiration for all of us and to get us excited about making something crafty with paper bags. Now, don't get worried, if you're like me you might be thinking."I'm don't do that, I am a card makers." or something along those lines. I know when Nicole first shared that with us all I was worried that I wouldn't come up with anything good let alone anything I would want to share with anyone. <br />
As you can see I found out just how mistaken I was. This project turned out to be just about the most fun and relaxing I have had while crafting in a long time. I couldn't believe how much FUN decorating gift bags is!!! Yes, I made my own bags out of printer paper and some light weight card stock. I had a great time decorating them with the Build a Blossom stamp set from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mystylestamps?ref=eyJzaWQiOiIwLjI1MjY2NjY1MDkwNjg5OTMiLCJxcyI6IkpUVkNKVEl5VFhrbE1qQlRkSGxzWlNVeU1GTjBZVzF3Y3lVeU1pVTFSQSIsImd2IjoiNzQ2NmMyMGFjODlmNDdkNjE4NWYzYTY1MTQ2MWMxYjFiYWM5YTgyZCJ9">MSS. </a> I had so, so much fun making these,... that I am going to sit down tomorrow and make a few to take to the shop for people to purchase. I think people would like a set of 4 or 5 made to look like they could put candy in them for Valentine's Day. It's fun, it original and the stamps are fantastic! <br />
So I ask ask you want are you waiting for? Head over to our<a href="https://www.facebook.com/mystylestamps?ref=eyJzaWQiOiIwLjI1MjY2NjY1MDkwNjg5OTMiLCJxcyI6IkpUVkNKVEl5VFhrbE1qQlRkSGxzWlNVeU1GTjBZVzF3Y3lVeU1pVTFSQSIsImd2IjoiNzQ2NmMyMGFjODlmNDdkNjE4NWYzYTY1MTQ2MWMxYjFiYWM5YTgyZCJ9"> Facebook group</a> and join in on the fun. Check our Nicole's store while your there as she is having a 30% off most everything in the shop (THIS WEEKEND ONLY - STARTING TODAY!!!) so she will have room for the new and I must say it "EXCITING" things that she has coming in. <br />
Go have fun, be crafting and enjoy yourself. Thanks for stopping by. I will talk at your later. <br />
Hugs LisaG<br />

<br />
Yes, that is what the M&Ms and I say to each other every week. We Thank God it's Thursday and then we are all very happy when it's Finally Friday. lol.... We like to do our thing around here.<br />
One of the great things about Friday's for me is the fact that it is my day to share with you all my DT project or card for My Style Stamps.<br />
This week I am still on my card making kick of taking a great stamp set that maybe wasn't made or intended for a specific holiday and getting it to work perfectly for what I want it for anyway. I headed over to Nicole's shop<a href="http://www.mystylestamps.com/category-s/1814.htm"> here</a> and picked up this adorable set called 'Bananas' . The second I found this stamp set I knew that he just had to be made into a Valentine's card! This is an adorable little stamp set that has four images(one main image) and three sentiments in it. <br />
Once I got my little guy all colored up I wanted to change up my card design as well, so I die cut a circle out of the lower right portion of both my DP and card stock so that he would have the perfect frame around him all the time. I then hand cut out this speech bubble to make it look like he was "Bananas" for someone. It didn't take me long from there to add a Valentine's Day greeting on the inside along with his bananas and I had an instant card! <br />
I was also lucky enough to find these awesome red heart bling at the Dollar Store here in town as well. I am both pleased and shocked to tell you that they are just wonderful. They come with a stick back to them and let me just say not one of them has fallen off. That make this crafty girl very very happy. <br />
Ok guys it may be Friday, but I still need to work the whole day before I can spend my weekend working on cards and watching a movie with Jerry and the M&Ms, Before I go, don't forget to check us out on our blog <a href="http://mystylestamps.blogspot.com/">here</a> and of course you need to come on over to our FaceBook group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/str/my%2bstyle%2bstamps%2binspiration/keywords_top">here</a> and join in with all the fun. My Style Stamps isn't just about cards and that is what we want to share with you. <br />
So I hope you all a very good day and I will talk at you later.<br />

Well it's almost Friday and that means it's time for me to share a little project or card that I've made for My Style Stamps!<br />
I have to tell you I have been really excited to sit down for a little bit and make this card. I knew just as soon as Nicole asked me onto the DT that I wanted to use my 'Monster Hugs' stamp set that I have loved since Halloween when she released this set. <br />
So, for my inspiration for you all this week I just want to share the idea of using your stamps out of the box. Just because you bought them for one holiday or one occasion it doesn't mean that they can't be used in a unique new way that perhaps even the designer didn't think about. I encourage you to take a look at your stamps and see what you have and just how you are going to come up with something that they were not intended for, but indeed work out to be just great on something else. <br />
Ok, so onto my card. I just thought that with the sentiment "sending monster hugs'" that this set would make the perfect! lol.... As you can see I pulled out some really cure patterned paper and gave my monsters a little bit of traditional Valentine colors. Added that great sentiment and Voila! Instant and fun Valentine's card!<br />
I hope you have all enjoyed this. Be sure to head over to our sight on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1550221961884704/?fref=nf"> Facebook page </a> and play along with us. <br />
Until next time, have a great weekend and I will talk at you later.<br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

Yes, it is finally Friday and I am so excited to share with you all my very first DT project that I made for My Style Stamps.<br />
Nicole (creator and owner of MMS) was nice enough to send us all a digi of her very first stamp set. It is called 'Wish I was' and you can still buy the complete set at her store <a href="http://www.mystylestamps.com/product-p/wish-i-was.htm">here. </a> I think you will find that she is so adorable and you can use her for so many things. <br />
My idea for her was to put her on my coupon binder so that I could see her every time I reached for my Joann Fabrics coupons or all my other crafty coupons that I either write down for the month or week. At any rate I love that she is sitting here with all her work done ready to play. :O) In my binder I am able to put in my little calculator, (have to be able to add up those discounts) as well as a notepad that helps me remember what I just HAVE to purchase. lol...<br />
I colored her up first than as my daughter suggested I gave her a gorgeous red washer to sit on. I used my Glossy Accents on top of the whole washing machine as they are always shiny. I hope you can see that in my pictures as it just makes it all the more adorable. Anyway, I then added in Versamark some little sentiments and works to show that she is off to have a great time. <br />
You might notice that she has a little beauty mark high on her check, that would be from my Copic marker having it's own ideas. So.... I just added the mark so that I didn't have to start from scratch as so far I was loving how she was working out. <br />
I hope you all enjoy this and get some of your own ideas going as well. Be sure to head over to our Facebook page and add any and all that you come up with. It doesn't have to be just with our stamps, it can be an idea that you found on our page and made it into your own. <br />
If you check out our Facebook group you will find out that Nicole and Steph are giving away a $20 & $10 gift card to the My Style Stamps shop. All you have to do is play along with us and share your projects and your cards. It's all up to you and we hope to see you there. <br />
Until then I hope you all have a great weekend. Talk at you later. <br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

I hope that you all had a great weekend. Can you believe it is 2015 already? Well, I am not of a New Year's resolution kind of girl, but I do have a few things that I really just want to work on this year. Not just to get to the finish line, but to prove to myself that I can do things. lol.... Sounds so deep.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PtLYnd9vE4k/VKoal3nxQlI/AAAAAAAAKMc/SMMGJDt2bdE/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PtLYnd9vE4k/VKoal3nxQlI/AAAAAAAAKMc/SMMGJDt2bdE/s1600/010.JPG" height="131" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
One of the things I really want to do this year is take a class from Kit and Clowder. I have seen so many people that I've always thought were very good colorist that have really just become fantastic colorist. It's not that I think I will be GREAT, or that I don't think my cards aren't good enough now, it's just that I want to do this and I am hoping to get started this coming weekend. Yay!!! I am so excited! I pay my "tuition" tomorrow, and then I am going to study my fingers off. Wish me luck!?<br />
So, because I truly want to work at this I decided to mark my coloring now so that I can look back and see for myself if I am improving along this journey. Hence my blog post title. :O) Yep, this is my first colored image for 2015, and because as I look back at my blog for the last year, I see that I really haven't been coloring as much as I want to I really feel that I need to step it up and make sure to color a little bit each day. No, I may not be posting all that I color, but I am going to try really hard to share as much as I can. <br />
I guess, my post should say first 'Shared' image of 2015 as I have colored something from My Style Stamps, but you guys don't get to see that until Friday. hehee....Anyway....<br />
I hope you all have a great week, and I will talk at you later.<br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

No, I did not fall off the face of the earth. lol.... I can not believe that it is almost Christmas. I also did not realize that I had not put up a post to share with you all since the beginning of this month. So sorry. :O(... Bad Blogger. <br />
I have however been super busy making cards for Christmas as well as getting them ready to sell in a little shop here in our town. <br />
That has been very exciting for me and it has almost made me realize just how much goes into put together a card and packaging it for sale. I am a perfectionist, so of course it all have to look as close to professional as I can get it. lol... At any rate I really am enjoying the whole experience, and I am very happy to report that they are selling! (Yes, I was worried about that.) So much so that it took me over a month to make the decision to do this. lol..<br />
While I was in the middle of all the card making I also decided that I would really love to start making more videos on YouTube than I ever have. I had at one point loaded them on my blog and on YouTube, but I didn't like the way it made my blog react, so I have just been posting them on my YouTube channel. (Gobeagirl) Yes, I am really inventive when it comes to my channel names.<br />
So, I really wanted to share all of what has been going on. You can check out my channel and please stay tuned here and on my YouTube as I have a big announcement to share just as soon as I get the go ahead. I am super excited and I can not wait until I can share!!! <br />
In the meantime I wanted to put up some pictures of just a few cards I made this last weekend from some really cute AC paper packs that I was able to pick up from our new Joann Fabrics for only $0.50 a pack. I sure that you have already seen the paper packs. As you will be able to see all the cards have the same basic design layout, but made out of different pattern papers. I just had so much fun making these all! I ended up until 3am wanting to make even more with different color combos. :O) Yes, it was a very crafty night indeed. I hope you enjoy them all. If your still reading this I appreciate it as I really wanted you to see them and enjoy them as much as I do. <br />
I am hoping to have some more time to share before Christmas gets here, but just in case I don't let me wish you all a Very Merry Christmas. <br />
Talk at you later.<br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

I bet you think I'm going to be telling you about all the wonderful things I was able to pick up on Cyber Monday. lol... NOPE!!!<br />
In stead I am going to just complain for a moment about the fact that no matter what I did yesterday evening I could not get my computer to let me log into my blog. I'm really not sure as to what the problem was, but for now I'm just going to blame the whole thing on CYBER MONDAY......imagine a long drawn out voice lol,..<br />
Anyway, moving on. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving. I had to work Friday and even though our computers and our registers did not work (we were writing out receipts and calculating tax when we needed to) it was a pretty good day. I then had a wonderful Saturday and made a few cards that I was putting together to sell in the 'Made in Moses Lake' store. I had a lot of fun making them as I was just on a creative roll and I didn't even write down one supply. :O) It was kind of fun not to worry about any of that for once. hehe.... I did however take a few pictures to share with you. This card is a simple Christmas card that I had a great time just playing around with. <br />
As you can tell I used an embossing folder and Washi tape on this one. I also used a Spellbinders Ornament die to put it all together.<br />
Well, I am off to make a couple cards that I have an order for, so I will talk at you later. I wish you all a wonderful week.<br />

<div>
Can you believe that Thanksgiving for the States is this week? That means only 4 weeks until Christmas. That means I really need to get my Christmas cards all finished and in the mail ASAP!</div>
<div>
So, with that in my head I decided this weekend to do just that. If you follow me on InstaGram or on my YouTube channel you know that is what I was doing on both Friday and Saturday. Well, what no one knows is the fact that I got up this morning to great disbelief!!! Boy did I ever!!!</div>
<div>
You see, when I headed to bed Saturday night I had cleaned my desk and stacked up all the cards I had completed on the corner of my desk with the idea that I would get up early and film a YouTube video of all the cards I had completed and go over some of the ideas that I used to make each card. Sounded like a fantastic idea to me. It might even have worked out if I didn't have two knotty little kittens that like to play around on my desk in the early morning hours. :O(... </div>
<div>
You see those knotty little kittens had gotten on my desk at some point and somehow they managed to spill my big bottle of Various ink refill for my Copic markers all over my cards! Not just one card, but all over five of them and a brand new 6x6 paper pad that I had yet to use. It was new to me as I had bought it off of Peachy Cheap in the fall with the anticipation of using it Sunday to make a few more cards.</div>
<div>
I don't know how they managed to get the lid off of the bottle, it must have just hit the desk the perfect way to jar if off. It then seeped into all the cards, (You can just imagine what those cards looked like at this point.) I tell you I felt like it was a massacre. The only difference was that my unsuspecting cards had become the untimely victims of this crime scene. <br />
So with that very long explanation let me get to the one card I did manage to make after all the carnage. I really love how it turned out and unfortunately it was all I had left in me to make. I had already made a similar card out of the very last of a blue and gray 6x6 pad that I had, so it was very upsetting to remake this card. I loved the idea of the card, so I did redo it and I do like how this one turned out, but I don't even have one picture of any of the other cards to share.<br />
I do want to enter this in <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/blog/?p=2508">The Greeting Farm-FFF Challenge for this week-Make it Sparkle</a>. </div>

Wow, can you believe that tomorrow is Thursday already? I have had a SUPER busy week and I am just shocked at how fast it has flown by. :O) <br />
Even with it being a busy week I still wanted to play along in the<a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/blog/?p=2456"> Farm Fresh Friday Challenge </a>over at<a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/blog/?p=2456"> The Greeting Farm</a> once again. It is just so much fun and it really does make me come up with some new ideas. As I am sure you all know the challenge this week is to make a Holiday Card. I knew that I didn't really have as much time as I would like to use one of my adorable image stamps, so I decided to play around a little bit with my sentiment stamps that I have had for quite a long time now. I just love to find a new way to use a stamp that I wouldn't have normally used it for. <br />
So, with all that being said, I grabbed this Martha Stewart mat pad stack that I picked up at our Joann Store for an awesome price of $1.99 after all my coupons. (Have I mentioned how much I am loving the fact that we finally have a craft store in our little town? OH YES I AM!!!) I then stamped my sentiment and added the overlay on top for the front of my card and used a second overlay to mat my inside sentiment on. Very very simple, and now my usual style of card. However I have to admit that I am really pleased with how it turned out and it only took my about 15 minutes to make. This week for me that equals a win/ win...<br />
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are all having a wonderful week.<br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

<br />
I hope you are all having a great weekend. Sorry that I didn't get back to my blog until today. It was a very busy week for me, and this is the first moment I have had to sit down at my desk. :O) <br />
So, first of all I have some awesome news to share. I just found out that I won the FFF Challenge over on The Greeting Farm blog from last week and I am SO HAPPY! I had a great time making that card and even though I know it is picked by random I am still happy to know that I will be getting a brand new Greeting Farm stamp! You all know that is my favorite company for red rubber stamps and since I haven't been able to spend a lot on crafty stuff lately that makes it all the better. lol...<br />
I also found out the the local 'Made in our town store' would like for me to sell my cards there. I am wondering what you guys would do. They will let me price my cards how I think they should be priced and I also get to set them up for display as well as package them how I see fit. The thing is, they will take 35% from each card they sell. What do you think? If it were your cards, would you do it? Is that a fair price, and what do you sell your cards for? I would greatly appreciate any and all comments or advice you can give me on this.<br />
Ok, let's get to my card for today. Last week I decided to make this card to show that not only can you use what you have, you can also make some pretty nice looking cards without using a single stamp. That also brings me to my friend on YouTube "Hi Carole", she is<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzjJRBnCq50&list=UU4wS5okPN9CKVnSUbmPEHjQ"> One Happy Crafty Chic</a> on YouTube and she made some adorable cards using her scraps. Yes, it can be done. Check out Carol and her channel<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzjJRBnCq50&list=UU4wS5okPN9CKVnSUbmPEHjQ"> here</a>. I know you will enjoy her. <br />
Well Carole, here is my card made from Scraps. You can not believe how long I have had these leftover pieces from this paper pad. lol... I did put in a little bit more time on this, but only because I wanted to use Glossy Accents on it and of course I had to wait for it to dry. heehee<br />
So, if your in a pinch and you just know you have to have that new stamp set to make that perfect card. Remember chances are really good that you already own something just as cute. So, be sure to check out your scrap bin. You just might remember all those wonderful papers that you already loved and still have a bit of. <br />
Thanks everyone for all your sweet comments. It always makes my day. <br />
Talk at you later.<br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

I promised to share with you all my finished card using Beanie Ian and I finally finished it. lol...<br />
Sorry it took me so long to get my card finished today. We all wanted to finish up the last three episodes of season 4 of The Walking Dead. :O) Usually this would so not be something I would watch, but as Andrew Lincoln is one of the main characters in it and I just LOVE anything he plays so of course I do not miss a chance to watch. lol<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So, let's get to the reason you are here. That would be my card for today. I was in the process of organizing my stamps this past week and I came across Beanie Ian and I could not believe that I had yet to ink him up. I knew right away what paper pad I wanted to use with him, but I wasn't too sure what kind of card I wanted to put him on. I really didn't want to go with a Christmas card for him as I wanted to play around with the idea that he didn't have to be only for Christmas or winters. <br />
Of course when I'm not too sure what direction I want to go I will head over to<a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/blog/?p=2436"> The Greeting Farm</a> Blog and see what challenges they have going on. I was very happy to see that this week's Farm Fresh Friday challenge is non other than a 'Thanks or Thankful' card! I have a very special 'Thank You' card that I need to make and this is just the perfect time to make it. :O) <br />
As you might be able to tell I pulled out a lot of old products that I have been hording to make this card. I have a ton of the gem swirls that over a year ago I had to have and I still haven't touched. I also have a few different kinds of embossing powders that I have but tend to not use too often as I really don't like the chance of a mess on my desk or pulling out my embossing gun. I also used some brown pigment ink that I never use as I tend to go with black for all of my sentiments. Yep, I am very happy with myself on this card and with how it turned out as well. <br />
If you haven't checked it out, or if you just haven't thought about playing in a while check out The <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/blog/?p=2436">Greeting Farm blog</a> and play along with the<a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/blog/?p=2436"> FFF Challenge</a>. I know you'll have fun. <br />
Have a wonderful week everyone. I have a card for tomorrow that I made with no stamps at all. <br />
Hope to see you tomorrow. <br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

Wow, did everyone have a great Monday or what? lol... Mine was SUPER BUSY at work, but when I got home and I read all of sweet comments from the LBBS clear stamp blog hop it just made my day. I really want to say "THANKS so much!" and "WELCOME to my new subscribers" I am very happy to have you all and I have even picked up on my crafty mojo all because of you guys. :O)<br />
You have really inspired me to get crafty. So much so that I finally pulled out the new embossing folders that I purchased last week at Joann Fabrics when they had all of their 'Darice' folders on sale for $2.00. Yep, I just had to take advantage of that sale. <br />
I have always loved embossing folders, but I really tend to only use them as backgrounds for my cards. So, as I said in my post title I decided that I wanted to play a little bit with a couple of the new folders I picked up. I embossed this Christmas tree, and then I grabbed my Memento stamp pads a big block and my water color brush and went to town on making this embossed tree look like it was water colored. <br />
I'm not sure you can really see it in my pictures, but once I added some gems from my stash and a bit on baby blue 'Stickles' to make for a festive garland I have to admit that I am SO VERY HAPPY with how this card turned out. HUGE SMILE HERE!!!<br />
I am so excited with this card that I had to take a couple of pictures and share with you all and I haven't even made an inside to my card yet. lol.... Those of you that know me and my blog know that I almost always have to have and inside to my cards. I had so much fun making this one and seeing it come to life that I now I really can't wait for our yearly trip to the big city so that I can pick up a set of those water color pallets that everyone has been getting at Michaels. Those are so going on my wish list!<br />
I sure hope you are all having a great week so far. If you are kind of in a slump with your crafting I totally encourage you to try something that you just didn't think was your thing. You never know, you just might LOVE it! <br />
Talk at you later.<br />

I hope you all had a great Halloween if you celebrate it. Can you believe that it is already November? So, because it is November that means it is that time again for some new releases from Little Blue Button Stamps! <br />
<br />
Little Blue Button Stamps now has CLEAR (photopolymer) stamps! Yes, you read correctly. LBBS now has some great clear stamps and in order to share in this fun lease LBBS is having a blog party!<br />
You can check out all the details <a href="http://lbbstamps.blogspot.com/">HERE!</a> However before you head over I have one of the new stamps to share with you all. This set is called 'Charlie with gifts' and I think this set is the PERFECT set to kick off my holiday cards for this year! Because I wanted to play off of the naughty or nice stamp I pulled some bling from my stash to make it look like this cutie has a ton of diamonds. :O) Just having fun with it. You'll notice that the bling is marking the 'Not Sure' part of the stamp. After all it's up to Santa on that. lol...<br />
Ok, because it is a blog hop/party I won't keep you any longer. Be sure to leave comments along your way for your chance to win. Have a great time. I know you will enjoy all the wonderful projects that the rest of the DT have put together for you all. <br />
Talk at you later. <br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

I know that most recently not too many people have stopped by my blog, but even though my computer (laptop) has not been letting me upload anything I really wanted to must up some much needed patience and put up a post. <br />
I have really been missing my blog and all the wonderful people I have met because of it. I am not even sure that my computer will let me add my photos, but I did want to wish you all a Happy Halloween even if it doesn't let me. :O)<br />
My card today is a winter card that I made for Little Blue Button Stamps for the Oct. release. I am not sure if I am still on the DT due to my lack of my computer and the ability to do much more that post to Instgram. Either way, I made this card using the LBBS stamp set Christmas Joy and I think she is just adorable. I hope you like my take on this very festive little snow bunny. <br />
Have a wonderful Halloween everyone.<br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

This post is going to be a little different from my usual posts. My friend form YouTube asked me if I would like to be a part of this weekly blog hop. Every Monday there is a host of inspirational bloggers taking part and answering questions.<br />
I was honoreded that Steph ask if I would participate, so of course I said yes. I am having to schedule it, so I hope that's ok Steph. :0). Have to work in the morning and I just know I won't have time if I wait until then. lol...<br />
So, let's get to the questions: <br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">See clean and simple..</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span id="goog_1250143195"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
1.What am I working on?<br />
Well, if you could see my desk at the moment you would think I was working on making a huge mess, and succeeding quite well at it. However at this time I am actualing working on getting all of my red rubber stamps from The Greeting Farm organized. I just love them, but my storage for them is a little crazy, so I have written the names of each stamp on the back with Sharpie so that I can know at a glance what stamp I have used and from what set (if any) it comes from. It looks a mess at this moment, but I am getting happier by the minute. <br />
<br />
<br />
2.How does my work differ from others in my genre?<br />
Well, I didn't know I had a specific 'genre', but I would say my cards differ in the way that they always turn out looking. I don't seem to see it, but I have been told that my cards always come out so clean and specific looking. It is meant as a compliment, and I take it as one. I love how everyone can do shabby chic and grunge, but for me I tend to like this on the more simple side of things and of course I always like the clean and simple as well. I don't try for it as much as it just ends up looking that way. There is the small thing of enamel dots as well. Yes, I am horribly addicted to them. You might have noticed over the last 4 or 5 months that most of my cards have them on it. I love them, and I don't see me not using them for some time to come. (What is not to LOVE?)<br />
<br />
<br />
3.Why do I create what I do? <br />
I think I really already answered this in number two, but I think I create what I do, because it makes me happy. For me all of the cards I make are an expression of myself and a way for me to relax and just enjoy a little me time.<br />
<br />
<br />
4.How does my creative process work?<br />
I love to try out different things, but over all I just want to have fun and when I come across a stamp that I love I have a great time with it. One of my favorite things to do in stamping is to use a head from one stamp and swap it with a body from another stamp within the collection. To me it is just so much fun and it's a lot like when I was little and we played paper dolls. Only this time I get to decide what color their hair is, what color their eyes are and what color of clothes they get to wear. I have also found lately that I have really gotten into using photopolymer sentiment stamps and switching them up between companies to say what I need. Truly, I have become addicted to this.<br />
When I am working on a specific card and I know I am going to use an image/character I always start with the skin then do the hair finishing off with the eyes. I know not everyone does this the same way, but for me this works. I also more times than not, always pick the papers after I have finished with my image or character. I know it would be easier to pick my papers first, but I just don't function that way. :O). <br />
Ok, now comes the fun part for me. I get to nominate two crafty ladies to play along with this. I am picking these two ladies, not in the order of their talent, but in the order of how I met each one of them. I am sure you all know them already, but I would love to hear/read their answers to these questions. I am sure that you all will agree that these ladies are some of the most talented people out there. So....<br />

Thanks Steph for asking me to play along. I had a great time doing this and I am so looking forward to seeing everyone else's answers as well. Thanks everyone for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this and I hope that you head on over to both Amy and Chrissy's blogs to give them some love as well.<br />
Talk to you later.<br />

I am going to make this post really quick as it has taken me over an hour just to get my computer to let me onto my blog.. Grrrr.... This is no way to start off a new week!!!<br />
Anyway, moving on. Let's get right to the real reason I am putting up a new post for you all today. It's Crafty Monday over on the <a href="http://lbbstamps.blogspot.com/">Little Blue Button Stamp blog</a>, and we are hoping that you will come on over and have some fun with us. <br />
I have been playing around with my <a href="http://lbbstamps.blogspot.com/">LBBS </a> >>Enjoy Your Travel<< again and I have to tell you it has been so hard for me to wait to share this one with you all. :O)<br />
When I first received this stamp set from Olga, I knew right away that I wanted to make a card with the little plane flying across the country. I just felt this it would really look adorable if the plane had a banner (with one of the sentiments from this set in it) flying behind it. <br />
As you can see I used primary colors on this card as I really wanted to make it a very clean card that put all of the attention onto the stamps themselves. I know at first glance this may feel a little simplistic to most, but I have to say this is one of my Favorite Cards! I just love how the stamps really POP and truly become the focal point of this one. They may be some of the smallest stamps in this set, but as you can see the make a HUGE impact!<br />
I hope you like it as much as I do. Be sure to head over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Blue-Button-Stamps/548116598552527?ref=br_rs">Facebook</a>, the <a href="http://lbbstamps.blogspot.com/">LBBS blog</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MissAnyona/videos">YouTube</a>. to check out what all the rest of the DT ladies having been working on. While your there be sure to leave them some love. You can head over <a href="http://lbbstamps.blogspot.com/p/rubber-stamps.html">here</a> for links to where you can pick up this set and other great stamps and sets as well.<br />
Thanks again Olga for this awesome set. It has become one of my favorites and I just love that it can be used along side of a lot of my other sets that I already have in my collection.<br />
Ok guys, have a wonderful day and I will talk at you later.<br />
Hugs Lisa G.<br />

I hope that you had a good Monday. Mine was busy just like I knew it would be. :o) <br />
The good news is that it is already Tuesday and this week is officially on it's way. lol...<br />
So, let me get right to it..... This one is made from one of the dies that I purchased from Lara over at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/TheInkRoad">The Ink Road on Etsy</a>. I don't know about you guys, but I am really loving all of the word dies that are out these days. I have really enjoyed using the 'Hello' die from Lawn Fawn, and when I found that Lara had the 'Thanks' die from them I knew right away that I wanted to pick it up.<br />
As you can see I wanted to keep today's card fairly simple. I wanted the word die to be the focal point of my card. I decided to use the color scheme from this paper pad by Fancy Pants, and of course I used enamel dots to add just a little bit of wonderful to the whole thing. lol... Even thought it is more on the lines of a Spring card or even an Easter card because of the pink and green I still really like how it turned out.<br />
Alright then, I had better get my feet a moving and get ready for work. It is sure to be yet another busy day. In the meantime have a good one. I hope to see you here again tomorrow for yet another card. "GASP" I know what your thinking: "two cards in two days?" "How is that possible?" Well, I actually have a week's worth of cards as I was a busy crafty lady this last weekend and I think that my crafty mojo has decided to pay me a visit. lol.... So I hope that you will come back and check it out. <br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />

Hi guys. <br />
I hope you have all had a great weekend. I am heading into a super busy week at work and at home, but before that I really wanted to stop in and share with you all what a wonderful weekend I had both last weekend (Sunday & Monday-due to the holiday) and this weekend (three day weekend for me. YAY !!!)<br />
So, I am pretty sure that I mentioned the fact that I have become addicted to Instagram. In case I didn't or you just didn't catch it I am an Instagram addict!! It's so much fun and a lot like blogging, but really all you have to do is snap a picture on your phone and post it. You can comment a little, but you don't even have to do that if you don't want to. lol...<br />
I mention my new found addiction only because of all the great people and shops I have met on Instagram. One of the shops/persons that I have met is Lara. You can find Lara on Instagram <a href="http://instagram.com/theinkroad">HERE!</a> She has an<a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/TheInkRoad"> Etsy store</a> called The Ink Road and for month of August Lara hosted a 'color a day challenge'. She put up a list and you were to take a pick of that color for that day and put it on Instagram. I found out about it around the 15th of the month and I have to tell you, I was hooked. It was so much fun! Other than following what the color of the day was I didn't see any other directions, so I decided that I wanted my things to be pulled from my addiction to card making. , So, most of my pictures were just that. I even went back and did a couple of the earlier days just for the fun of it. What I didn't know (UNTIL I WON!!!) was that she was giving away $100 to spend at her<a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/TheInkRoad"> Etsy shop (The Ink Road)</a>. I could NOT believe that I won, and I sure couldn't believe I had $100 just to spend on myself and not feel guilty about it. Let alone on things like stamps and dies and any other thing that she sells at her<a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/TheInkRoad"> Etsy store</a>. I was so excited it took me a couple of days just to make up my mind. lol.. <br />
I still couldn't believe that I won, not even when this huge box showed up at my door on Saturday! Not only had Lara sent me what I had ordered, she had sent me a ton of other goodies as well. I thought I would share a few pictures that I took of all of this wonderfulness. :O) <br />
Lara even sent me a few journals and one of them happens to be a Moleskin journal! I have wanted one of those for over a year and I can't believe I have one now. lol... Most likely it's going to sit inside of my desk for a bit until I decide exactly how or what I want to use it on. <br />

So Lara, if you happen to read my blog I really want to Thank You again for all of this. For such a fun challenge, for such an awesome price and for being such a sweetheart and sending me even more wonderful goodies as well. You don't know just how much you have made my whole year. :O)<br />
<br />
Ok guys, if you haven't left by now I totally appreciate it. I really wanted to share in my excitement and let you all know about Lara's great Etsy store. She has awesome prices and she ships like speed of light fast. Ok, maybe not that fast, but still FAST!!!!<br />
Hope you all have a great day. I will be back again tomorrow with a new card as I was able to spend my weekend crafting. <br />
Hugs Lisa G<br />
