2S4Y and LPS Combo....

I am back!! Schooling went well today and while Kim was doing her Math and Social in my office/craft room, I took full advantage of my surroundings and went ahead and worked on another challenge while I helped her out! Works for me! LOL..My good friend, Tamie, told me about Little Paper Shop's awesome color challenge today so I quickly RAN over there to check it out. Here it is:

Those colors were totally screamin' BOYS and MUD and QUADS and MOTORBIKES, so I quickly ran over to 2 Sketches for You and came across this nice, simple sketch that had just the perfect spot for a quad, motorbike and mud!! How lucky was I?!?! I went to work!

Now, I'll be *real* honest here...I had a wee bit of difficulty coloring in the quad because we are not quad owners and users, so I really didn't know HOW it was supposed to be colored! ACK! I hope I did ok...LOL....

This one was a bit easier to color for me...it had more shaded areas that I could *wing it* hahahaha!

...and this last one, my daughter, KIM, colored for me. Didn't she do an AWESOME job?! Better than her Mama...I must say! Love ya girlie and thanks for helping me out in between subtracting decimals and learning of the settlement out West :o) xoxoxoxo

Thanks for stopping in again - I sure hope to be back again tonight. I have some sympathy cards I need to make up tonight. Two very important people in my life lost a loved one over the weekend. Hugs and love to you Tamie and Bonnie...my deepest sympathy to you and your families. xoxoxox

Excited to start a new year!!!

Hellloooooo!! Happy New Year to all my PEEPS...I cannot believe that it's been almost ONE MONTH since my last post! Someone fire me! LOL....I apologize for that but I have been one busy girl. I got back on Tuesday from a much-needed vacation with DH and now I'm rip-roarin' and ready to go. I would like to say a special "thank you" to my wonderful friends, Leanne and Melissa, for preparing my stamp class for this month. You gals have no idea how nice it was to come home and not have to worry and fret about what I will be doing for our club. You ladies did a wonderful job and I thank you from the bottom of my heart - and I know the rest of the club members will too! OK...now, onto some pics! Here is what we will be building tomorrow:




These first 3 pictures are of the "pocket" calendar we will be making. We wanted to make it a perpetual calendar that you can store cards in for each month. You can see in the 2nd photo how I have some cards inside the "pocket."

The next card was made using the new acrylic stamps from the Occasions Mini and new Sweet Pea designer paper....I really love these colors together :)

This gorgeous card was made using the new punch from the mini catalog...I totally love how circles are embossed and the colors are wicked!! That bird is just too cute!!

Thanks for stopping in tonight and I am excited to get my club started again tomorrow! I have such a wonderful group of creative ladies and we are all like family :) I am totally stoked to see what Bonnie (aka Bon-Bon) comes up with for her card fronts for us to make!!!

Take care, happy stamping and remember that the best time to take a break and relax is when you don't have time for it! Hugs!!
