CONGRATS. ON YOUR NEW HOUSE...

Hi Guys. Sorry I am so late getting this to you this morning. We had Mitchell's choir concert last night and we just got home late which means a late evening for us all. Needless to say we all got out of bed later that usual this morning. I am happy to say however that everyone got off to school in record time. I do have to warn you if you live in Washington state that we are probably going to get a blizzard as Madison woke up in a great mood and she was actually ready for school before Mitchell. That NEVER happens. lmbo.... Sorry could not resist.

Ok, I will get onto the whole purpose of your visit. I made my card today with a stamp set from TGF that I bought on the last farmer's market (can not pass up a good deal) and have never used. It is the My House set and I just happen to have a friend that is moving in a couple of months and this is perfect for her. This will be her first house, and I am so excited for her and her friends. So Erin is you are checking in today before you get this SURPRISE! I love you, my friend..lol...

Ok, my turn to get going. Have a great day all. Talk at you tomorrow, Lisa G

HEY DUDE, MEET AUDREY...

Hi guys. Happy Monday morning to you. Yes, it is yet again the beginning of another week. Can you believe just how fast time goes? I must be getting old...

I am going to get right to it this morning as I work at 8 this morning and I still have kiddies to get to school. Yesterday when I got up I checked out the Greeting Farm blog as always. Who do I meet there, but the one and only Ms. Audrey. She just spoke to me the second I saw her. I just had to print her out and colored her. I ended up making this card in less than 30 minutes. I assure you that is record time for me. lol...I am told that she is a bit of a tomboy, but she is just so sweet you can not help but play with her.

If you've been reading my blog lately you know that I just purchased a few mini packs of paper. What can I say I am hooked! Because of that I just knew which paper Audrey wanted to play with. The funny thing is that the papers I used are from one company, and the buttons are from a totally different one. I was so please with how it all came out. Oh, and the notebook paper... not notebook paper, but pp from makingmemories...Isn't is the cutest? I also left the inside blank so that I could use this for just about anything I can think of.

Ok guys, have a great day and I will chat at you tomorrow. Lisa G

SOMETHING SPECIAL JUST FOR YOU...

Hi guys. Sorry for the no show the last two days. It has just been a hectic week, and I did not have the time nor the energy to make anything let alone post it... I finally got 5 minutes to sit down last night and play with my stamps and my new paper pads. (yes, I am now addicted and want them all! lol..) Last night as I was crafting I had my headphones on and I was listening to youtube and all of the wonderful new things coming out soon from CHA winter. Oh, me thinks I will have to start working overtime just to buy everything I have on my list....

Well I wanted to share this card with you today. I used a couple of my stamps from All that Scrap's new C.C. Designs' spring set. I have had it for some time now, and I think this is only the second time I have used some of them. I think they are so cute, but I get caught up with my Anya stamps that I forget I have other ones... I love them all though.. Anyway, have a great Sunday everyone and I will chat at you tomorrow. Hugs, Lisa G

THANK YOU CARDS, AND NEW SUPPLIES...

Hi guys, how is everyone this morning? As usual I am busy getting kids ready for school and heading off to work myself. I can not think of a better way to start my day then with a quick HOT shower and then jumping on the computer to see all the wonderful things that blog land holds....What can I say it's my morning routine. Some people have their coffee, I have my blogs to check out. Mine is a bit harder on the checkbook, but much less fattening. hehee...

I decided that I was going to send the online store that I buy my Copics from a thank you card. They are really great and they are super fast getting them here. Mind you, they are out of New York and here I am on the other side of the country. You can customize a 12 piece set and get free shipping. I love it. I have tried (on a few occasions) a store that is in California, but it always took longer than a week to get here and their shipping is out of this world..?? So, if you are still adding to your collection give CopicmarkerS.com a try. I know you will love them.

I just had to use some of my new papers on this card along with the buttons that I bought to go with it. I have never done that and I must say I am really enjoying it. I also had to use WS-Chelsea on here as I feel like I have neglected this sweetie. Ok guys, I am off to start the rest of my day. Have a great one and I will chat at you tomorrow, Lisa G

FRIENDSHIP MAKES LIFE A BREEZE...

Hi guys. How is everyone today? Well, we have made to the middle of the week already. Yay! So far it has been a very busy week, but really not that bad. The first of the month is always super busy at work, so it goes by really fast. lol...I wanted to thank all of you for yours sweet comments. You can not imagine just how much they mean to me. Sooo Thank you! You guys are really sweet and very encouraging.

Ok, lets get on with my card for the day. Last month I was checking all of my favorite blogs, (like I always do) When I was very lucky and won a gift certificate from My favorite things just by leaving a comment on Cindy Haffner's wonderful blog. Well, as soon as she told me I had won I ran right over and purchased this awesome stamp. I had seen it on other cards and just thought I had to have one. It is called On the Pier.. and I love it. I did not do such a great job stamping with it. It is a clear stamp and I have not had very much experience with these. Even though I boo booed some of it I am still happy with my overall card. Thanks for stopping by today. Chat at you tomorrow, Lisa G

SMILE...

Good morning all. I hope that you had a good Monday. Mine was busy, but considering it is the first of the month it was a pretty good day. lol... I had better get to it this morning. Lucy has decided lately that she needs to sit between me and my keyboard when I am typing my posts.

I love her, but typing with an almost one year old cat in front of you is not exactly a time saver. lmbo... Ok, on with the show...

I am having so much fun with my new papers, flowers and bling. Up until now I have been using papers and what not that I have had in my stash. I have always been the kind of scrapper that bought card stock more than pattern paper. In fact I think the only reason I have pattern paper is because of my bff that owned her own scrapbook store. She loves all kinds of paper and I got into it then. Ok, ok, I know I said I would get to it today so....without further a-do here is miss Ruby to usher you into spring. She has put on her mini-dress and headed out for a nice time window shopping and enjoying the wonderful spring weather. hehe.

That's it for me today. Have an awesome Tuesday everyone. Chat at you tomorrow, Lisa G

SURPRISE...

Hi guys. Happy March 1st to you. Did you have fun last night with the tea time blog hop over at the Greeting farm? I know I did. Wow, were there some beautiful and fun cards! I am trying to decide if I really need to purchase my digis in rubber. I am sure you all know that I love rubber so much more than digis, but I am trying to be good about money right at the moment. Maybe I will win from the blog hop and I will only be forced to purchase a couple. heehee....

On with my card. This is my card for the Saturday sketch over at Club Anya and Friends. Of course I had to use Cheeky Rockabilly. She just wanted to come out and play this weekend. I also had to use some of my new papers. Personally I think that is why she wanted to play so much. lol... I left the inside blank so I could use this for anything that I wanted to.

Ok guys, have a super day and I will talk at you tomorrow. Lisa G
