LOVE BLOOMS ALL YEAR LONG...

Hi guys. Happy President's day to you. Hold onto your hats...I am off today. Yes, I actually signed today off in Dec. and I am off all day with my kids. I am usually the one heading off to work while Jerry and the kids are sitting around getting ready for a nice long day off. Hehe...I am so giddy with the excitement of it. Sorry, I just had to go there.

Did you guys play along with the Club Anya Blog hop last night? It sure was super fun to see all of the wonderful creations. I so enjoy seeing all the takes on the adorable Greeting Farm stamps. Talk about talent! Ok, I need to get going. So lets get to it, today's card I made with my new Hello Ian. I just think he is sooo sweet. I felt the need to give him strawberry blond hair. I made this card for the Saturday Sketches over at Club Anya and Friends..I have to tell you that I am proud of myself. I used my Copic airbrush system along with my Spellbinders nestabilities. It always makes me happy when I actually use the supplies that I have to have...lol..I know that you know what I am talking about. Oh, and before I forget.. I also used some of the new e. line from Prima on this card. I love these...I used both the Pearls and flowers from their new line and I have to say they are great.... See what you think. Well have a great Monday everyone and I will talk at you tomorrow. Lisa G

COFFEE BREAK....

Hi guys. No, I was not on a coffee break yesterday. I just woke up very very late for work. I was up with my dd until 2am and then I fell asleep only to have my dh wake me up at 6:45am. And of course I was suppose to be at work by 8am. I did get to work on time, but I didn't have time to do anything but shower, shampoo and shine.

Sooooo, because I did not get any time to show you my card yesterday I decided to post it this morning before I left for work. It is a quick card that I made with Dazzles by Hot off the Press. No copics were used for this card....Don't worry I have not lost my mind. I have just been very short on time this week and I really thought these would be fun to play with. I also have to tell you that the pattern paper I used for this card I have had in my stash now for over a year. I guess I just never ran across it, because now I just love it and I soooo have to make a card using my stamps with the paper..lol...

Ok guys, I am off to work. Have a great morning and I am sure I will talk at you tomorrow. Enjoy the start of your weekend, Lisa G

HEY CUPCAKE...

Hi guys. I hope that your week is going good. I can't believe we are almost through Amy's Sweet November Stamps preview. Are they not the cutest little stamps? I just love them. Did you head over to Amy's to enter into her candy and to see her wonderful cards? I can't imagine anyone saying no, but if you did you can get there from here. lol....
I have to make this a quickie as I am uber busy this morning before work. Oh, and by the way for everyone that has asked Lucy (our putty tat) is back to her normal self. She has come up with a new habit though. As you know she has always been a talkative cat, but the last three days she has decided that when any of us is talking that she really needs to join in. She will put her head back and issue a quick MEOW. It is really weird, kind of cute and kind of annoying all at one time. She will repeat her one meow several times (each time putting her head back real quick) within a matter on a minute if she feels she has not been paid her due attention. lol.... Lucy and our kids sure do make our lives very fun and interesting and I wouldn't change it for the world.. Ok, this really does have to be quick one. Back on track now. My card today is for a friend's Birthday that I totally forgot. I found Dazzles at a craft store here in town, and they are very fun and make for a super quick and super cute card. Yes, I realized that I forgot the seeds in my strawberry. I have put them in. Madison was quite concerned with my mistake.lol....Have a great day all, Lisa G

SWEET NOVEMBER STAPMS DAY 4 PREVIEW...

Wow guys can you believe it is already day 4 of Amy's wonderful Sweet November Stamps preview? I have to admit I have enjoyed this release so much. Talk about fun! I have to thank alot of you that emailed my about how I could put a word into my post for you to click on instead of having to type out everyone's blog addresses...Thanks once again gals. It was such a help and I am hoping to show you today that I have learned this...hehehe...I can not believe how sweet you all are, I am so thankful for all the help....I sure do need it. Learning as I go...lol...
Ok, let me move on to todays card. I have to say that this is probobly one of my favorites of all the stamps that Amy sent me. So, without further ado let me introduce you to Peter & April Rabbits...They are actually two indiviual stamps, but they are just so shy with each other that I just had to put them together. When I was coloring April I really wanted to convy that she is a soft girl with light brown hair. Peter is a tough little guy, but when it comes to Lilly....OMGosh he just gets kind of tongue tied and his eyes get huge from his love of her...lol...Sorry that is what came into my head when I first set eyes on these two sweethearts.
Remember that you can check out Amy's blog here for her wonderful cards and blog candy to go along with her preview. And don't forget the other two SNS gals, both Traci and Rach have some of these sweet stamps and I am sure that they have colored up something terrific. Have a great day guys. Gotta run, Lisa G

BUNNY BABIES CHICK-DAY 3 PREVIEW...

Good morning everyone. I hope you are enjoying these little cuties as much as I am. They are all just so adorable. My card today was made with Bunny Babies- Chick. He is one of Amy Young's Sweet November Stamps. He is having so much fun checking out his little chicks that he doesn't even notice the little one that has decided to hitch a ride in his back pocket. I can just hear them tweeting away to him. Mind you he comes holding just the one chick, so you could use him for a baby card or just about anything. I just had so much fun coloring him. Well I better be heading off to work. Be sure to head over to Amy's blog to see more of her babies and to enter to win some of her candy. Amy is at http://athousandsheetsofpaper.blogspot.com/ . If you still haven't gotten enough be sure to check out both Rachel and Traci at http://papercraftingplace.blogspot.com/ and http://wickedpixiecreations.blogspot.com/ . I know you are going to love their work as much as I do. Sorry, I still don't know how to just put there names in my paragraph so that you can click and get to them..lol.. Computer illiterate.. Have a great day everyone. Talk at you tomorrow. Lisa G

Remember all of the Sweet November Stamps will be available to purchase at midnight over at All that Scraps on Feb. 15th.
