I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK...

I had to take a slight break from my blog but I am hoping to come back again soon. I have had many health issues and had to make many choices to better my health. More on that in a latter post. I hope to be back latter today with a new card or project and will explain a little more to why such a long time with no posts.

It's been a while....

It's been a while but life happens. I've been working two part time jobs, running behind 3 kids and my husband and making it through Christmas but I wanted to come back to my blog and my favorite craft. So tonight I did except it was a sad reason to make my card. We lost a great man on Monday and I've wanted to send the family a card. And that's the card for tonight....

I hope everyone has a great night...

Simple One layer...

I'm playing again with my stamps and I took time to make a few cards for my husband tonight.... Very simple one layer cards to get myself back into the swing of things... All products used were Stampin Up!...

Hybrid project...

I decided to cut my Christmas card making down a bit this year and what better way than to make use of My digital Studio by Stampin Up... They lowered their prices on the professional printing service and this week they have the Digital Studio 1/2 price... But back to my project I design this card using the software program and had it printed through Stampin Up!'s service and I love the final product..


what makes this hybrid is that once I got my selection home I just had to add some of Stampin Up! rhinestones to the front...

The inside was another oh my once I had finished it using the program... I think with all the new products they are offering for the print service and the many new downloads to add I will use this many many more times...
I hope you all have a great holiday week... Eat lots of Turkey and great foods...

Hello!

I've been a little busy and out of touch for a while...However I'm still here and around... I have been busy working on my Best Friend's wedding invites for the past few months and they have consumed much of my life but I'm seeing the end of the rainbow and Last weekend I cranked out 8 of these little pretties for the start of my holiday cards... I used my SU five point flower punch to help create a poinsettia on my card. Here is the finial product....



I'm very happy with it... I colored these in while waiting for my dad to go through eye surgery a couple of weeks ago. Love taking something to color when I know I'm gonna have a long wait somewhere. Did you happen to check out the corner of my blog... I'm now Copic certified.... I went to a wonderful class last week in Richmond, VA and was taught by Colleen Schaan and her lovely helper Beate. But back to my lovely card... I used Stampin Up!'s Postcard stamp from the holiday mini and of course my big shot... Very simple card and fun to create..

New Product... Letterpress Plates

they are in the new Holiday mini and I'll have mine to play with next week....
