Congrats Card

It was hard getting on the computer this past week. My girls were on vacation from school and I had to share the computer. Wishing for my own some day;)

On to the card:

I used the sketch from this month's sketch challenge from Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers #26.
I am also using other challenges.

Pile It On wanted us to use flowers. With this particular blog you are also to incorporate other blog challenges. Which I did with the SBS #26 sketch and with...

The Character Cafe. That challenge was a recipe challenge. We were to use a digi image, 3 pieces of paper and 5 embellies.

Thanks for looking at my card:) Hoping to get back in the swing of things soon.

Franny the Witch Card

I made this Halloween card for a challenge at Crafting At Your Special Delivery. At the blog is a link to download the witch for free. As I said before, free is good!

I had used Martha Stewart's glue and glitter for the white strick in Frannys hair and the green glob in the jars. The jars were stamped images from an image swap I did with my SBS #26 Sisters.

I didn't have any Halloween stamp sayings so I wrote this one out. It was going so nice until I got to Witchin'.

Thanks for checking out my card:)

A Fall/3D Card

Here is a card I did.

I did it for Jeannie's 3D swap. I tried to use the paper piecing effect. I didn't have a leaf punch. So I stamped leaves and accorns, embossed them and cut each one out. Hey, I did the cutting in front of the TV:)

I also did it for The Sisterhood Of The Stamping Sisters #26's color challenge. We were supposed to use the colors: orange, yellow, brown, red and green(optional).

I am also using it for KL Stampin' n Scrappin' challenge. You were to use fall colors.

Thanks for checking out my card:)

The First SBS Sketch Challenge

I made this card for our first sketch challenge with The Sisterhood Of the Blogging Stampers #26.

This past Saturday we went to a birthday party 3 hours away! It was 8 o'clock when they decided to open the birthday presents, but we had to go. Our ride turn in to a 5 hour ride home because the highway close to our home closed and they had to direct traffic of the closest ramp. There was a bad accident that they were still investigating. We were stuck there for about an hour and a half. Poor Adela had peed so much in her diaper she was uncomfortable and cried alot near the end. I was so tempted to take her out of her seat and change her diaper in the slow moving car. But I didn't, just to dangerous. You never know what could happen. So she cried herself to sleep. I felt so bad.

We should have gotten home about 11:30. We didn't get home until 1:00 am! Unfortunately a lady had died from that accident. I felt bad for being frustrated.

On an upnote, Lindsey and Michaela came home tonight after spending about three weeks with their Grandparents up at their cottage. It is louder in the house, but it is good to have them home. I think Michaela actually grew physically and mentally! She just seemed older. I was a tad sad. She was gone for just three weeks!! She seems like she is a year older!! Stop Growing!!

First Pool Layout and SBS #26

Lindsey's first pool layout.   I tore pattern paper sideways.  I like this pattern, it was a real water pattern.  I adhered the bottom half of paper to bottom half of page.  Then I used silver tags(Stampin' Up) and chalked the inside blue and stamped it First Pool in blue ink.  I then mounted the two photos on blue paper.  I mounted my journaling on the water patterned paper.  Then last I adhered two buttons beneath the journaling.

Yes, everybody, I did apply sunscreen.  He He.

First time I am using this blogger in draft.  Not sure if I am liking it.Also, my stamping group is now getting set up and started.  We are going to be stamping, doing challenges, swaps and such.  I am a little nervous.  These stamper's creations are fantastic, some of them almost art like.  A few of them should be framed.  I am feeling a little bit intimitated.  But I joined so that I could be challenged and create more fantastic and beautiful cards.

If you want to see some of the work they create, each of their blog is under the Sisterhood logo.  Go ahead , be inspired.

I am diffently not liking this blogger in draft.  This is my last post using this technique.  I am switching back to the old way.  Regular old blogger.

Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers #26

I've decided to join a stamping group. They are call The Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers #26. I am nervous, yet excited. I am from Michigan in the United States. I have a husband, Jason and three girls: Lindsey, almost 8; Michaela, 4; Adela, 2. I have been scrapbooking since 1997 and I use stamps in some of my pages. I also like to make up cards, when I can. That goes for scrapping as well-when I can. I love going to all day scraps and the evenings scraps. When you visit my site, unfortunately, my pages are a little fuzzy because my scanner is not big enough for my 12x12 pages. so I have to take a picture of them with my digital camera. I am looking forward to meeting with my future "sisters".
