October SSS

This is my last SSS card for the year. Can you tell what the theme was? I had fun making this card. Lots of "firsts" with this one. First time using Swiss Pixies Halloween Hansel. He's so cute! First time using patterned paper that has a "scene" on it. Paper is from Cosmo Cricket. First time using the "out of the box" technique with my Nesties. Very easy to do and I will definitely use this technique again.


Finished off the card with my MS mice border punch (thanks to my BFF for hunting this punch down last year), and Whimsy Stamps ticket die and sentiment. Hope you're having a great week and Happy Veterans Day. Thanks for stopping by and until next time, be good.

September SSS

Hey all ~ I can't believe its November already and I'm only posting projects from September! Oh well, you know me - always late ... Anyhoo, here's the card I made for my September SSS. I used sweet Ayako from the Sister Stamps line. Check out their blog to see some of the cutest creations ever! The banner and sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.


Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be posting a few more things so I hope you'll come back! Until then, take care.

July Secret Sister Swap

Here's my card for the July SSS - the theme this month was to use flowers. I sure hope my secret sister likes this card because to tell you the truth, I was a little intimidated to get her! Anyhow, I used another Maggie stamp that had never seen ink (still have quite a few more to use) and I'm quite happy with the way my card turned out.

Now, on to other news ... for personal reasons, I resigned from the Cricut Craft Room DT. I met some wonderful and talented ladies there and even though it's time to move on, I will definitely be finishing my scrapbook of my fur babies!!! :-) Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to have more crafts to post soon. Until then, take care.

June Secret Sister Swap

Here's another of my Magnolia stamps that needed to be inked. Remember, I'm gonna use all my Maggies for my Secret Sister Swap (SSS) cards until I've used them all. She looks so sad in this picture, though, doesn't she? Well, I hope my secret sis still likes this card. Besides my Maggie, I used the ticket stamp and die from Whimsy Stamps, some mini roses and some Glimmer Mist (even if you can't really see it).

May Secret Sister Swap

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Since I have quite a few Magnolia stamps that have yet to see ink, I decided that I would be using each and every one for my SSS cards. When I finish using all of them, I will move on to another stamp line. Here's the card I made for my May SSS:

I didn't have a stamp with a sentiment to match my layout, so I stuck on a computer generated one. It's exactly what I wanted.

Anyhoo, I'm participating in a blog hop next month, using my Cricut! I'm pretty excited (and nervous) since the hop is with some ladies I found on FB who are awesome Cricut creators. This is Erica's page (Cricut Craft Room) on FB. If this link doesn't work, search for Cricut Craft Room and it'll take you to Erica's page. As always, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving all your wonderful comments. I really appreciate them! Until next time, take care and be safe.

Secret Sister Swap - April

TGIF! Are you all looking forward to the weekend? I sure am! Tonight I'm meeting some super crafty ladies for some shopping and eating ... can't wait! One of the gals I'm meeting is Joy, who is the CATS coordinator, and the other is Kris, who runs the SSS. These two ladies are awfully crafty and although we're not crafting tonight, I hope there will be a time for us to get together again to do so. Anyhoo, on to my card for the April SSS! I finally ordered the circle and square lacey nesties and couldn't wait to use it. I knew I wanted to try a circle easel card and here's what I came up with:

It was super easy to make and I sure hope my Secret Sister likes it and the goodies I'm sending her! Have a wonderful weekend everyone and until next time, take care.
