Hello Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by.  Today we, the "linky galz" over at Cardz TV are having another fun challenge.

What better way to say "You've Got Mail" than with a vintage mailbox I added a mailman.  I googled the USPS symbol and cut everything out with the cameo.  Above is a picture with the mailbox closed and open.  How realistic to have a mailman with mail in his hand for delivery.  I read a CHRISTmas card this past year that said "Santa delivers one day, big deal...Mail carriers deliver 365 days of the year!  Enjoy and GOD Bless!

A Whale of a time



Hello Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by.  Hello and welcome to the new followers of this blog.  Well...everyone has been talking about their new toy.  I have had this cameo in it's box for at least 2 months.  I would take it out and then look at a video, feel intimidated, put it back in the box and go to the silhouette store buy some images and repeat the process.  Melissa of  Moe Creations would try to encourage me by saying she could not wait until she saw what I would create.  Then my girl Adrian of By Adrian 4 U started telling me how wonderful this machine was (even though I had my doubts).  That is when I decided that I would try out the machine and try a cut.  Here it is.    My first creation with my Cameo.  Enjoy and GOD Bless!

It's So You! Challenge


Hello Everyone!  Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at the new card that I made for the It's So You Challenge at Cardz TV Stamps this week.  I just love the color blue and if you have stopped by my blog then you would know that blue is my favorite color.  I love all shades, from the darkest to the lightest.   Cream and Navy just seem to go together well.  I think ballet dancers are just so graceful and this little lady does not disappoint.  So, if I were to say that the reason it is so me, I would say:  The color blue is my fav color, I like a little flair, I like grace of dancers, and the tranquility and most importantly I love the written word and a little bling occasionally.

I want to thank everyone for hanging in there with me.  I am still working long hours at work (12-15 hours days) and so it has been kind of hard to get into the craft room.  So please forgive me if I haven't visited your blogs in a while.

Cardz TV Stamps Kidz Kardz Challenge







Hello Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by.  This week we have 3 x 3's Kidz Kardz to show you.   I have a couple ideas to share with you.    The first are some little cards and then there are the treats.  Each one of the hearts are filled with red hots.

 Unfortunately,  even though I believe these would make perfect little gifts to pass out at school, these have been set aside for my co-workers.  I can't wait to see the expression on their faces when they see them.  I made about 40.  The heart with the ribbon slides up and releases the candy.

 So come on and have some fun.  Join us for a smile.  We would love to come visit you to see what you have come up with.  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek and as always enjoy and GOD Bless.
