Mojo Sketch Meets Mocha Morning DSP

Good Morning & Happy Friday Everyone!
We're starting off with a wet weekend but that's ok....the grass really needed it!!

My post for today is featuring the Mojo sketch using Creative Elements & Mocha Morning Specialty DSP.  I stamped the flower several times & cut it out to make it more dimensional.  I spritzed my flower with Vanilla Smooch Spritz---LOVE that stuff!---and finished assembling my creation.  Once again my oldest son complimented my work---what a Sweetheart!  I'm really going to miss him when he leaves!!!

Well, we need to get groceries, pick up my new glasses--if I like them & run a few other errands so I'm signing off for now!  Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope you have a wonderful & relaxing weekend!!!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Creative Elements Sketch Card


Good Afternoon My Friends!

Sorry about the late post but that's what happens when my DH comes home in the middle of *MY TIME* LOL!!

My project for today is using one of the new stampsets I bought from the new catalog called Creative Elements.  I think this set is beautiful & quite elegant as my oldest son pointed out when he looked at my creation....gotta LOVE him for that compliment right?!!  I also used Mocha Morning Specialty DSP from the new catty---all I can say is WOW!  This DSP is gorgeous in person & the flocking pieces are extra special!!!  I mean you do have a few extra flecks on your creation but who cares when the paper is so beautiful & makes your project look totally awesome LOL!! 

I needed a bit more inspiration to get me going so after oogling this week's sketch from SCS; I decided to go with it & I can't begin to tell you how easy it was to put this baby together.....it's great for using just a lil' bit of your fave hoard--I mean DSP!  Well, I need to get back to my DH before he starts to pout so that's it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Vintage Life Moments Creation


 
Good Monday Morning Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend....mine was very relaxing & I truly enjoyed my family time!!

Today's card is supposed to have more of a *vintage feel* to it but I'm not completely sure of my vintage style yet.  Now don't get me wrong; I do LOVE the final look of my creation & I think I worked with the colors of the DSP I used very well too....I guess I'm just my own worst critic!!  My only wish is that you enjoy it!!!

I'm off to do laundry, clean my house & stamp....maybe not entirely in that order but at least it'll all get done LOL!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!
Until Next Time,

Convention Make & Takes and New Friends....sort of!

Heather, Me & Teresa

 The GORGEOUS box we created @ Convention

 All of the cards we made & the banner to hang them on

This BEAUTIFUL display totally caught my eye & I had to share!!!


Good Saturday Morning!!!!

I think I'm finally recovering from my trip.....I feel a LOT more rested & I'm caught up on all my normal duties here @ home so I'm looking forward to actually creating something this weekend to share with you next week!!

The pics I'm showing you today are of the Make & Takes we did @ Convention, an awesome display that rocked my world & last but not least; the pic of me meeting Heather Klump in person!!!!!  I've known Heather for YEARS but we've never actually met.....she was one of my *pretend friends* as my kiddos put it but not anymore LOL!!!  It was so nice talking with her & finding out just how much we have in common like our Military service---we were both stationed @ Fort Jackson, South Carolina at the same time....how COOL is that?!!  We were even at the airport together coming home----she's seen a side of me that most of you NEVER will LOL---but the giggles & extreme laughter was soooo much fun & it's a time that I will treasure forever!!!

Well, I'm off to get some groceries, find something to cook & stamp!  Thanks so much for stopping by & I'll have another post up on Monday!!  Have a great rest of the weekend!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Awesome Convention Inspiration!





Good Morning & Happy Thursday Friends!

I'm sharing more of some of the AWESOME displays that caught my eye @ Convention!  We have some seriously talented SU! demos that put a TON of work in creating the displays for us to oogle over last week!  I was very impressed with the works of art that I saw as was everyone around me taking photos....I will definitely re-make the Imagine frame a bit later & will post pics of it when I'm done :-)

I also did my 5 year walk across stage last Saturday afternoon!  How exciting to be up there in front of thousands of people shining in my 'lil moment LOL!  I can hardly wait for my 10 year walk & any other accomplishments I achieve in my SU! career!  I want to send out a BIG thanks to my girlfriends for taking the pics & cheering me on like they did....you guys are awesome & it was great seeing you again!!!

Well, I'm off to take my younger kiddos to the Dr. for their well checks/school physicals.  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Opening Day of Convention 2011









Good Afternoon Friends!
I am home from Salt Lake City & trying to recover from  nonstop FUN hanging with my girlfriends!!!!  We had a BLAST & now I want to take the time to really share my experience with all of you.

Today's post is all about the start of Convention.  I thought the theme was awesome, the dancers delighted us and got us *grooving* & last but certainly not least....the AWE inspiring projects they shared on Main Stage from the upcoming Holiday Mini were just DROP DEAD GORGEOUS---don't you agree?!!!  I can't wait to pre-order so I can make some fun things to share with you (that's one of the perks of being a SU! demo & if you're interested in joining my team--please contact me @ happyscrapper2@hotmail.com

I have so much more to share but I will spread it out so it's not so overwhelming!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!

I'm Still Here...for the moment!

Good Morning Friends!
I've been crazy busy this past week getting everything ready for Convention & I can't believe that I'm leaving TODAY!!!!  I'm really excited to get to Utah & learn some new things to share with you.  Unfortunately my schedule was so very hectic that the posts I had planned to go up this week will not...I'm hoping you bear with me though unti I get home.  I will try to *pop* in from Salt Lake City & give updates when I can.

Thanks so much for understanding & I look forward to sharing some fun new things with you!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Good Morning & Happy Hump Day!
I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend!  Mine was nice & relaxing....just like I LOVE my Holidays to be!!!

My post for today is just another example of the same swap card for the Fancy Full Swap that I'm in.  I just changed the colors & used rhinestones instead of pearls.  It's very shimmery in real life but you can't tell from the photo--bummer! 

I'm off to do LOTS of running today!  I'm also looking forward to the UPS man showing up here at any time with my box of goodies....he'll be lucky if I don't tackle him at the front door LOL!!!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!

Fancy Full Swap Card....sample 1


Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

My post for today is showing off my swap samples for....well; just like the title says LOL!!!  I made 20 of these & then I moved on to another color combo but that's for another post!  Our cards are supposed to take just a bit longer to make than your *ordinary* creation.....mine utilizes the Big Shot; Shimmer Mist & the Color Spritzer Tool.  I think I just about nailed the challenge but I'm considering adding a butterfly to the right corner.  You should know me by now---one of my cards just isn't complete without texture & a butterfly!!!  

I'm off to cut more cardstock for some *general* swaps!  In case you're wondering or just don't know....general swapping is when we walk around the convention center & just swap like CRAZY!  The swaps that I've shown you so far have been for organized swaps that I joined & I'm getting really excited for my lil' vacation!!  Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope you have a great rest of the weekend! 
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,
