Did I show you this?

Hey there my friends. I was going through some pictures of projects I have made, and there are a few things that I don't think I've shown you yet!I made this scrapbook page for the TGF Royal battle back in April (I think it was April). My team didn't use my layout, but I was quite happy with how it turned out, especially since I hadn't made a page in probably a year!
I used the colors from the photo for the layout. My dear blogging friend, Gabby, made Angel Baby this crochet bunny, with a beanie! She also made me this gray beanie, but Angel Baby wanted to wear it and looked awesome in it. Angel LOVES her bunny, and this was a picture showing that. I used stamps from TGF's Whimsical Greetings, Hello Go Round, and the first Hope and Grace stamp set. You can click on the pictures to see the project up close if you'd like. I hope you enjoy your Wednesday and I'll see you all soon!

Be blessed.

Fleur Anya with a sketch!

Hello there! I'm back for the THIRD day in a row! Woohoo! I really hope I can keep this up once I go back to work. I've been on a little summer vacation for the last week and I go back next week, so we'll see...During my little "hiatus" from stamping, I purchased a few stamps and Fleur Anya is one of them. I love how whimsical and spring-like she is! I decided to use the sketch from CA&F's Sketchy Saturday to make a card with Fleur Anya.
This card didn't start out as a bright summery card, but it turned out that way! I used some AWESOME glittery paper I got from my blogging buddy, Jenn Raff sent me after we competed together in the TGF Royal Battle. BTW, did I tell you all we won third place! WOOHOO! Jenn sent me a little package of papers, embellies, etc so I used what she sent. The hearts are stickers and the bigger one says "Best Friends Rock".

I wanted to use the glittery paper so that I could enter this into the Oh, Alice! Ch. 19 challenge for this week as well. I love the Oh, Alice! challenge blog but I haven't played yet. I figure NOW'S the TIME! If you haven't seen the challenge blog yet, you need to go over there and look at all the fabulousness. it will blow you away!

Okay, so it's movie time with the family. I'll see you all next time and until then, be blessed!

I'm Baaaaaack!!!

Hi there friends! I know it's been a loooong time, and I apologize. My life got a little busy, and then I sort of lost my motivation to make cards. I finally got my mojo back today and inked up Shooter from The Greeting Farm. Shooter is one of the MANY stamps that I purchased during my "slump". I have quite a few stamps that have yet to be used, so you should be seeing new things from me!Here is a close up of Shooter:

Isn't she adorable?
I used the Farm Fresh Friday sketch from the Greeting Farm's Blog. This is the first card I've made in TWO months and so I needed the sketch to get me going.

I used Kraft paper from Stampin' Up for the card base, retired ribbon from SU as well as the brad to hold the ribbon on. The rust colored paper is from Crate Paper and the plaid patterned paper is October Afternoon.

One of the things that helped me get my mojo back was a card that I got in the mail a couple days ago. Guess what kind of card it was... a CHRISTMAS CARD!!! I couldn't believe it when I saw it in my mailbox. First I thought, "Why is Amy Young sending me a card?" Then I noticed the postage stamp... then I looked at the date stamped onto the front of the envelope and noticed the date... DECEMBER 4th, 2009!!! What the Heck?!?

Sure enough, when I opened the envelope, this gorgeous card was inside:

I double checked the postage, even asked the person at the package pickup window if I was seeing things but sure enough, it was from DECEMBER! The person at the window said "musta been lost somewhere" ROFL! You think?

Regardless, it was a wonderful surprise to get. I LOVE the detail Amy puts into her cards! Here you can see the the glitter on the Fairy's wings and the cool embossing on the sentiment.

In the next picture you can see the gorgeous liquid pearls on her dress, and the glitter all around the edges of the card.

Thank you so much Amy! I love the card!

Well, I'm signing off for the night. Hopefully I'll get another card done tomorrow... Although, I owe you all a TON of Scenic Sunday posts... and I did go on a cruise to Greece! Come back tomorrow to see a few pictures. Until then, be blessed!

It's been a loooooong time...

But I'm still here! I have moved, been on vacation (GREECE!), and been a single parent during the last month or so (DH went on a TDY)... but life is finally slowing down and I'll have more time to spend on my dear blog soon. Have I lost you all? I hope not! I promise I'll be back SOON with pictures! I haven't made ANYTHING crafty since I made that party set for the TGF Royal Battle, but I will soon, I hope. Oh, BTW, we won 3rd place!!! THANK YOU to everyone who supported us and voted! Off to do laundry now, see you all soon!

Less than an hour left!

ACK! I'm so nervous! I'm on pins and needles about this Royal Battle! We are in third place right now and SO CLOSE to second, it's killing me! We need lots of last minute votes! For more info, see my previous entry. I have to go bake cookies now, ACK!

It's the FINAL week!!!

WE MADE IT!!! The Time Travelers made it to Week 5 of the TGF Royal Battle! Now we need YOU to go to the TGF blog and vote for us! I can't believe we are actually one of the semi-finalists. Now the pressure is REALLY on because I made our project for this week! ACK! Talk about pressure!!!This week we were tasked to make a girl/boy project so I made party stuff! I used the Wonderland stamp set to make an Alice set and a Hatter set.
I used lots of polka dots and red for Alice and lots of polka dots and green for Hatter.
I made a card, a party blower, a party hat and a party tin! I hope you all love it and will go to the TGF Blog to vote for us! The voting is a little different this time. This week there will only be voting for ONE DAY!!! TODAY!!!! And you have to go to the TGF Blog and vote in the poll on the side panel of the blog. I will link up the blog post as soon as it's there. EDITED: I added the links! Please go vote for the Time Travelers project! I really don't want to let my team down. They've all done such an AMAZING job getting us to this point! I hope I can make them proud.
