damask~just because

YES, Friday is here!!!!




I have another Damask Design card for you today...I hope you are not getting sick of seeing cards with DD :) I promise to ink up a few different stamp sets for next week's posts. I have been super busy with my photography session/editing/etc...that last night I realized I didn't have anything to post for today *gasp*, so whipped this up in a jiff!!! I couldn't leave my blog friends without some paper crafting goodness!!! The card came together really fast and could almost be used as a "guy card" (maybe with out the button and ribbon, LOL!).

Hope you have some fun stuff planned for the weekend!!! Ashley let us borrow this movie, and it has been sitting on my coffee table for almost 2 weeks...planning to watch it, and I am hopefully going to finish my editing from last Saturday's photo shoot...then on Saturday doing a mini session for a teen at church that is going to homecoming. And lots of other random stuff...

Enjoy your weekend!!!!

Supplies used (PTI unless noted): Damask Designs stamp set; Enchanted Evening/Dark Chocolate/Very Vanilla (SU!) cardstock; Enchanted Evening/Choc Chip (SU!) ink; Enchanted Evening Double Stitched Ribbon; Edge Punch (Fiskers); Button (unknown); Twine

Halloween Treats...

Happy Wednesday!!!
How is your week going? Do you have any plans for Halloween? Mike and I will probably just hang out at home and watch a movie (since our kids are a little old for trick or treating).

Thought I would post the treats I made for the office (plus Ashley's treat's too~we work together). I found these cute cups at Target and filled them with some Halloween candy, tied it up with some curling ribbon and stamped (Halloween stamp set by Recollections) and punched a little tag~easy peasy!!!



And my cute daughter who is a little crafty herself...made these for the office :) She also got her supplies at Target.



And since I totally forgot to post my Boss Day goodies...thought I would add it to this post *smile*



Lots of packaged goodness for today's post.

Have a terrific Wednesday!!!

lots of circles...

Happy Monday my friends!
Another weekend bites the dust~whew! I had a great one though, even if it was busy. Friday night Ashley and I went to WW to weigh in (we both re-joined to stay on track through the tempting holidays), then met up with Josh and Nate at Applebees. Saturday (bright and early I might add), Josh, Ashley and I went to do a family shoot (8 people) for a friend of Josh. It went pretty well (I think I am getting the hang of it), then on Saturday night I went with Ashley, Josh, Ryan (Josh's friend) to check out this new place that just opened up~it was AWESOME!!!!! I have never been in one before and I have to say, I am going to frequent it a LOT!!! Sunday I tried to catch up on some housework and laundry (not really very fun), and my hubby comes home today from his visit back east :)

So onto the card...
A few weeks ago I submitted 5 cards for an upcoming Stamp It magazine, and 4 were chosen for publication *happy face* This one didn't make it, so thought I would post it on my blog. After I took the photo, I noticed a hair on the card~and I was too lazy to re-take the picture, LOL!



Enjoy Today!!!!

Today is going to be quick...
Of course I am still trying out my Damask Designs stamp set *smile* I needed a quick thank you for someone special, so for this card I paired pink and brown, one of my favorite color combos (along with some Very Vanilla and River Rock) :)

Okay...told you it would be a quick post, LOL. I have a busy weekend planned (I need to stop cramming so much into my weekends!!!), so I will see ya on Monday!!!

Enjoy the weekend!!!

damask thanks...

I finally broke down and bought Damask Designs!!! UPS delivered my order on Monday and I had a few moments to play last night. Not sure I am in love with this particular layout, but it might grow on me.



My hubby is in CT this week visiting his family, his mom had a pretty bad fall a few months ago and he flew out to help her out. He told me last night that he was going to clean her house for her today (after almost 24 years of wedded bliss~he is trained pretty well, don't ya think???). He hasn't been back to our hometown in over 8 years, so I am sure he is having a fun time....even if he is freezing, LOL!

So what do I have planned for my week of singleness??? Nothing too exciting!! Josh and I are doing a family photo shoot on Saturday morning, so that should be fun :) And of course there will probably be some stamping *smile*

Enjoy Today!!!

baby boy...

Howdy...
I hope you had a terrific weekend!!! Why do they go by so darn fast??
I had my first baby photo shoot with baby W, and let me just say, it was a lot harder than I had anticipated...but all in all, I got some great images for mom :) Plus I got to hold the little guy (so cute!!!). You can see them here

Here is the card I made for baby W...I just love the little onsie image, and of course I paper pieced it...not sure if you can tell from the photo...but I have been using new pop dots that are on steroids, LOL!!!



I started my Christmas shopping this weekend *woot* I still have a long way to go, but you know that saying "a journey begins with one step"

Have a terrific Day!!!

TGIF!!!
Happy Friday my blog friends...do you have any thing exciting planned for the weekend? Today I am doing a newborn photo shoot (really excited~hope it goes well, as babies can be a little unpredictable). I also have some Papertrey goodies on the way *woot woot* (didn't order any of the new release stuff yet, because I am still trying to decide).

I used my Everyday Button Bits for this card (have I mentioned before how much I love this set, LOL!!!). I was really happy with the color combo as well really soft and pretty. I stamped the flower in Summer Sunrise ink, using my Text Box set, onto Lemon Tart Cardstock...I just love stamping my own patterned paper :)



Don't forget to remember your boss today...it is Boss Day...I packaged up my gifts and delivered them to the office last night after everyone had gone home...(since I have today off) and totally forgot to take a picture of them for my blog *sigh* I'll see if Ashley can take a picture with her Blackberry today and email it to me, LOL!

Have a great weekend!!!
