Love those Frap bottles!!!

I love making the little goody bottles from the Frap bottles! I made one for all my coworkers for Christmas. They all loved them!!
I think they turned out pretty cute myself!

A New Love...


I recently fell in love with Double sided Paper!!! I have some but never quite appreciated it, or realized how AWESOME it can be.

I picked up some at my LSS on sale and decided to play around with some different card layouts.

Being double sided made things so easy. Obviously both side complement each other so layering and pulled up corners work out perfectly!


A very good friend has been waiting a very long time for her insurance to approve a Breast reduction. Well it finally came thru! So what a better stamp than this one to celebrate the occasion!

Can you ever have enough?

Christmas cards that is!!! I thought I had made enough this year for everyone on my 'nice' list.
but as the days get closer, I am finding that I am scrambling to make last minute cards. Hence the 2 week interval since my last blog update.
On SCS I found a great idea to make 10 christmas cards every month, starting in January and then by December you would have plenty of cards. Well this almost worked except, I didn't find SCS till about March or April and then i didn't see the post till about June. so I made about 15 20 a month, give or take and yet somehow i still didnt' have enough!!
What I hate is now I am not taking the time to do my 'best' work on these last minute cards. But I know that the recipients will still appreciate a handmade card from me! at least they better or next year the will be on the 'naughty' list!!!

Pocket cards

I needed to make a few thank you cards today, so I decided to make them Pocket cards!
I had made some a few months back and really liked them. The background paper is from DCWV from thier Fall matstack. The front words are rub on's that I bought at the $$ store last year. The cardstock itself I have no idea! I am really bad at mixing all kinds of CS together because I usually cut it and keep it together by colors. The letter stickers were also from the $$ store.

DOG SLOBBER!!!

So I take my adorable Snowman Soups over to my Mom's today. She loved them! Well so did her dog( my furry little sister) DAISY! I let her sniff them and with in SECONDS she slobbered on one of them and the ink ran!!! and the paper has now wrinkled up/warped! I swear she did not have her snout near it for more than 5-10 seconds, cause as soon as I saw that polka dot tongue (she's a mutt, but we know she is part Chow because of the black spots on her tongue) I pulled the paper away but it was too late! She must have some powerful SLOBBER!!!
So I need to redo one of my Snowman soups before they get sent to CT for my young cousins.
OR we could send this one as is and say DAISY made it!!!
