Another one but not totally done

2008-09-11T21:47:00.004-04:00

I used my new "A Cardinal Christmas" for this one because I just wanted to do something with the cardinal. I used my new red riding hood cardstock and some black and antique white. I also used my bold brights water color crayons to paint the cardinal and the branch. I haven't decided what else to do to this card so any input would be appreciated. I outlined the Cardinal to make it stand out. Thanks for checking in today and I will try to make a card almost everyday(work permitiing). Have a great night.

As Promised

2008-09-11T21:41:00.006-04:00

I did this card using my new Happy Blessings stamp set and my watercolor crayons and my aqua painter. The crayons were earth elements and the card stock was tango mandarin and chocolate chip and some antique white I had. The embellishments I found at Ollies Bargain outlet. Thanks for being patient with me. I am not real happy with the card but at least I finally made one. Thanks for stopping in

Hello again

2008-07-18T21:46:00.002-04:00

No I haven't wandered off into my own world again. I did however have 2 more deaths in the last week(Thank God they say it comes in three's so I am done for a while)
MY brother in law who I have been friends with for over 30 years passed and had a spactacular funeral with bagpipes and all I didn't attend but my daughter told me it was beautiful. Then When I first moved to NC I sat with an elderly women who was such a smart wonderful women. She let me know alot of the history of North Carolina and what it was like for her to grow up here. She on several occassions tried to pretend to steal my blue chihauha( she loved Tiko to pieces) She passed away this past week and I will let you know that I feel it was an honor to know this women. and I hope that God lets all thier souls rest in piece......AMEN

Long Time ..........

2008-07-11T16:07:00.002-04:00

I know I have been gone a long time. I guess I kind of took a spiral downward and got myself all depressed. Some good came of it though because I quit the job that was most of the cause of my funk....but I have another job that pays even more. Then my sister-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and died 4 days later so up to Massachusetts I went. Then while I was there my Brother-in-law was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and is not doing so well. This is the man that married my sister just last September so she is beside herself. So if I could ask all of you to keep them in your prayers I know they would appreciate it.
On a good note I did get to spend time with my granddaughters while I was up there. I will be visiting blogs and trying to get back to normal in the next few days and yes I am going to dig out my craft supplies and start crafting again. Thank You all for the notes of concern and I promise if I get in that funk again I will let you all know so you can snap me out of it. I miss all of you and cant wait to see what you have been up to in the last few months.

Hugs
Kathy

After watching my hummingbirds and goldfinches I just felt like using my Little birdie set from su. It didn't turn out as lavish as I had planned but its an ok card. I used my su water color pencils and a blender pen. The card stock is perfect plum and I think Lavender lace and of course a little whisper white. I used cb floder for the embossing and some brads I picked up at HL. Thanks for checking in and I promise to post more regularly but not on friday's because that is my late night. If I can whip a card up in the moring before work or even tonight I will post it. You guys are the best

Happy Mail....Exactly what I needed!!!!

2008-04-23T21:19:00.004-04:00

I recieved this card yesterday from Simone over at Daily dose of Spazz. It was a blogger rak from splitcoast stampers but I frequent her blogs between daily dose of spazz and scrap your crap. This card is absolutely adorable and just what the doctor ordered...lol I realize I can't sit around and wallow in self pity so tonight I made a card but I can't post it until May because Its for a challange over at Scrap Your crap and that is part of thier challenge.

I just want to let you all know that I appreciate your comments and prayers. Tom and I did file charges and the Bank is putting my money back as they investigate each transaction and find out it truly wasn't us. Well I am back to my craft table(dining room table) and I will post a card tomorrow night or if I get it done tonight I will post it.

Hey Thanks for being here

2008-04-13T21:56:00.002-04:00

I know I have been neglecting my blog lately, But I think I have a good reason. I don't know how I made it through this but let me tell you what happened. First off for those of you who don't really know me......I am a very kind hearted person..When my son got out of jail I let him come stay with us and straighten his life out, build his credit....get a job...all that kind of stuff. Well he did it and he is doing really well. He got himself a new car....credit cards...and is getting ready to move out on his own. I like to think he learned his lesson, which I really think he did. So now on the flip side....My stepdaughter is having a rough time so I convince my husband to let her come stay with us and we will do the same for her that we did for my son. She moves in a few weeks ago and has been keeping me busy. so last saturday I go on my online banking to tranfer some money around and much to my shock both my accounts at that particular bank are empty( as a matter of fact 1 is in the negative) so OMG what the heck happened here!!!! I fly to my master bath to find my bank card thinking I lost it....but its there. I tell my husband and he thinks I typed something in wrong and I go back and type my account again. Same thing comes up. Well Lo and Behold his banl card is missing and so is his daughter. Now I can't prove it was her but she disappeared the same day all the withdrawals have been done. How did she know the pin number you ask? I asked the same thing and my children responded "MA Tom has had the same number since we were little kids" Omg I never realized he kept the same pin number over 20 some odd years. What do we do Press charges or learn from this? I feel like my heart has been ripped out because I tried to helps someone ine need. Am I nuts? What so I do? Thanks for stopping in and listening to me. Miss all of you

So my friend called me and asked me If I wanted to go to High Point and see Bill Cinton speak? Off we went thinging we wouldn't even get in. Well we got in and we were 4 rows away from the former president. I listened to his great speech and realize he is a pretty funny guy. Can you believe I even got to shake his hand and tell him I was a Massachusetts native. I have some pictures of him to post. I will edit them tomorrow and poat them. I have never gone to a political rally in my life but it was pretty exciting and Bill Clinton is quite a speaker. Thanks for stopping in today and I promise I will post a card tomorrow.

Happy Mail

2008-03-17T20:32:00.003-04:00

I got home from work rather late tonight,feeling pretty tired. What is that box on my counter??? Oh Yeah I remember I ordered some of the new stamps from Gina K!! Pretty sweet deal too because you buy 3 and get s special stamp set free. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!! I just had to tell all of you. Now I need to get off here and cut the stamps and If I can do it quickly enough I will make a card with them and be back. If the card isn't on here tonight it will definately be posted tomorrow when I get home from work. Of course it could be a long day because we are having an audit and those audits take for ever. Hopefully we score a hundred, but I know one department we are vulnerable in. Geesh there has got to be a break here somewhere...lol life in retail....What can you say...lol.
Thanks for stopping in and checking on me.

dahlia fold flower

2008-03-11T21:17:00.004-04:00

I like thise card even though I didn't take a great picture of it. I used wild Wasabi cs and some flowers for you dp. and the stamps are from su and they are called celebrate everything. I added a little sparkly brad to the center of the dahlia fold flower and a little bling around the word celebrate. and the ribbon is from one of Jody Morrow's many swaps. Thanks for stopping in and I hope you like the card.

K

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-03-10T22:32:00.002-04:00

I finally finished the folds on the Dahlia fold flower and let me tell you they have to be pretty close to perfect or the flower doesn't look right. I realized after like 4 days that I should do it on a hard surface instead of on my lap...lol Tomorrow I will finish the card off and post it. I am quite pleased with the way the flower came out and I think You will be too. Oh yeah I got a job offer tonight that sounds very promising. If you know me I currently work about 70 hours a week as a salaried manager and I am not happy putting my crafting off until I am not to tired to do it. When My company closed 2 yrs ago I never thought getting a new job would mean putting what I love on the back burner.. Well I guess I kind of know its on the back burner but not to the extent this company has put it. I mean I am physically exhausted everyday when I get home from work. I go from my professional clothes to my pajama's everyday. My family hates that I spend no time with them and my friends have the same gripe, I used to stamp with my friend Cheryl a few times a week before and now I don't get to stamp with her at all. We use to ttry every technique there was and have so much fum. I hope this job pans out and gives me some sense of normalcy to my life again. Thanks for listening and checking in. Tomorrow you will see my finished card.

I am glad you asked!!

2008-03-07T23:31:00.003-05:00

http://ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/flowercard.htm

Several of You asked me where I got the template for the 3d flower and I realozed I should have posted it. So tonight I seached the blogs and I found it. I actually saw the flower on Melstampz blog and she posted the link to the flower. I hope its ok that I post the link to where I found it. Thanks for stopping in tonight, I am still working on that dahlia fold flower. It seems the folds have to be exact or the flower doesn't look right and I am using such a small circle I guess that makes it more difficult. But even the ones that weren't perfect look great..so as soon as it is perfect I will post it.

Can I just say?????????????????

2008-03-05T21:27:00.002-05:00

I am seeing all these new scorepals and I have to say I am a little upset. I bought the scorepal when it first came out and I have to say I love it, But I often wished it had more measurements for scoring. Now they have come out with one that has so many measurements. My Dh would probably kill me if I bought another. I mean Less then a yr ago I spent 39.95 for it and told him how much better my scoring would be and never dared to tell him that I wished for more score lines..lol Don't get me wrong he really doesn't mind me spending the money on what I want but he always tells me not to be the first one on the bandwagon because they always enhance the original ones...Lol please don't tell him he was right. Ok thanks for listening to me, I couldn't help it after visiting several blogs and seeing the new and improved scorpal. Thanks for stopping in

Spring is here....I think....lol

2008-03-05T19:55:00.003-05:00

So I was leaving for work today and noticed my hyacinths are blooming as is my daffodils and as I am heading down the road to the highway I notice the tree's are blooming. I swear they weren't bloomed yesterday so it was an overnight transformation...lol
Ok for my card I used Su vv cs and some stack packs form dcwv. I stamped the morning glory from su's morning soft stamps and tried my hand using my copic markers for the very first time. The sentiment is from su's for a friend stamp set and then I used stickles for the flowers stamen. I used ribbon from one of Jody Morrows many ribbon shares( You guys have to get in on one of her shares) and then I added some bling. I Don't like the card for some reason. Maybe the sentiment or the stickles but I thought I would post it anyway. Thanks for stopping in today and for my next endeavor I think I will try one of those dahlia fold flowers for a card.

oops forgot to add the picture

3d Flower

2008-03-04T20:41:00.002-05:00

So I saw this flower in card inspired by maria some time ago and I have been wanting to make one. yesterday I went to a blog melstampz and she had a template so I decided to go for it. I used Su flowers for you cs and some ultra fine glitter I got from one of the swaps over at confessions of a ribbon addict. Only the center of the flower has glitter and it was called lipstick. I like the flower but have no idea what I will do with it...lol I do that all the time. I make things and don't know what to do with them. Oh well at least I am back to creating. Tomorrow I will have a card to post. I just have to decide which sentiment I want to use. Thanks for stopping in.

Kathy
Glad to be creating

I think I am helpless

2008-02-27T13:31:00.003-05:00

So I am trying to visit all my blog sisters today and I can't seem to get to stamped smiles. I believe that is Vicki's blog. Can someone send me the link. I never had a problem before so I don't know if it is her blog or if is me. Thanks for helping a Sistah out. Thanks for checking in today.

A little Project

2008-02-25T21:49:00.004-05:00

Ok so yesterday I was visiting some blogs and I went to confessions of a ribbon addict and saw this cute basket and thought to myself "I need to try one of those" and this is result(not as good as I wanted it to come out but I will try another one) I think it came out pretty cute for my first try. I used su dp cherise and some bling. If you want to try to make one of these go over to Jody's blog and check it out. Confessions of a ribbon addict. Well thanks for stopping in again and I will make an effort to do something everyday to post.

K

As promised

2008-02-25T19:56:00.004-05:00

I did this card in shades of purple cardstock. I found the stamp at Enchanted Cottage when DH and I went there a few weeks ago. I used my prisma pencils and then added stickles to the little chicks. Not a very fancy card but at least a card. Oh yeah I dug out and old friend for the sentiment. Can you believe I used my Quik Kutz. Something I had put away when I got my cricut. I forgot how hard it was to squeeze those handles. I think I will put it away again. I have the cricut design studio now so maybe I will do a few cards with that. I am off to do the project I said I was going to do today so I may be posting that later. Thanks for stopping in.

I know I know

2008-02-24T22:00:00.002-05:00

I am so sorry I haven't posted in a long time because I have been working 7 days a week and frankly I am exhausted. However I have tomorrow off and my promise to You is to make at least 2 cards and post them and maybe even post some of the cards from the swap. The cards from the swap are awesome. I hope all of you have recieved them. I have a couple more to send out but I am waiting on one to arrive. I thought it would have been here but maybe tomorrow it will arrive. Let me know what you thought of the cards from the swap and If you think we should try it again. I loved all the cards and feel inferior to some of you...lol. Ok until tomorrow when I post some of my own cards and maybe a project that I saw on some else's blog. Thank You for your patience(spelling) and please understand that I am a salaried manager and have to do what is right for the store I am in, even if it means 7 days a week. Thanks for stopping in today and checking on me.

Hugs

Swap

2008-02-07T20:07:00.000-05:00

I am still waiting on some swaps to arrive. So I am guessing that I will mail them out on Monday so start stalking the mailman next week because these cards are beautiful. I sat today to make cards and hated everything I came up with. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR I hate when I have these creativity blocks but I think its just because I have worked so much lately and then doing this to my toes and being told to stay off the foot is just all mind boggling. I am off to the craft room (dining room) to give it another try. I picture cards in my head but I can't seem to put them on cardstock. I did manage to grant 3 wishes on scs though and for that I feel good because I have kind of neglected the wish rack due to lack of time but I hope this is a good sign that I granted wishes. Thanks for stopping in

Day of Mourning

2008-02-05T00:35:00.001-05:00

So for those of you who know me My team lost the superbowl last night. I think they lost it to get the media off their backs over this whole spygate thing. But in any event we still lost and I am feeling really down. I had today off fron work and you won't believe this but I stubbed my toe on my queen ann chair in my bedroom today and as a result I broke 2 toes and now I am out of work for a few days(I hope) and this is not good because we have inventory this week. But my toes are so swollen and they put me on strong pain meds and this silly boot that there is no way I could work. I guess I will make some cards because what ekse can I do with no work and not being able to walk. Thanks for stopping in and listening to me.

Sisterhood of blogging stampers3

2008-02-02T23:40:00.000-05:00

So I just got home from work and I have been thinking wouldn't it be great to have a card swap between us all. let me see there are 30 of us and we could break up into six groups of five. I would be willing to host it if you wanted. But I would like one of each card so that would mean each person makes 6 cards. and I would keep the extra card, I don't know maybe I am nuts. but the expectation would be to so a full size card and layers and at least one embellishment. Tell me what you think. Because we are in a holiday season we could set a deadline for likd feb. 2nd. That would give us time to get thru the holidays and then work on the swap. You would enclose a self addressed envelope with postage on it. and all cards must be put in a baggie or some kind of protection so if it rains or whatever they won't get ruined. Please let me know what you think.

Swaps received today

2008-01-25T20:06:00.000-05:00

I received two sets of swap cards today one from stamongranny and one from glittermonkey and let me just tell you these two ladies have some talent. So anyone who needs my address just email me and I will get it to you. Remember to include a self addressed stamped envelope with your swap. I am back to stamping now that I have some time. MIL went home this week. Thanks for continuing to stop by even though I haven't posted any cards lately but they are coming.

whooo-hoooo

2008-01-20T22:48:00.000-05:00

2008-01-14T19:59:00.000-05:00

So instead of using the random number generator this time I decided I would sit and reread each comment and chose the gesture that I thought showed what Cristmas was all about. Well it wasn't that easy for me because so many of You did such wonderful things that the decision was hard. So I took the easy route and asked my MIL to read each and every comment and tell me which one she thought was the best display of the season. Well she did better then me because she got it down to 2. Unfortunately I had to tell her I only had one prize, She took the rest of the afternoon to decide which one it would be and she chose.........................Susie@susiestampsalot.

so please email me your addy and I will get that prize out to you.

Pictures if Blog Candy

2008-01-14T09:38:00.003-05:00

The picture doesnt do it justice because you cant really see all there is bit it gives you the general Idea

So for those who follow my trials and tribulations

2008-01-11T22:32:00.000-05:00

You remember I had to go up North for a parole hearing for the guys who murdered my FIL? Well the one accused I was worried about getting parole was denied yesterday which means that even though he has been in Jail for 20 years he gets to spend another 5 at least in Jail. The one who I wasn't worried about has not been voted on yet. I ask you all for your prayers to keep this low life in jail. I don't know why it is taking the parole board so long to make a decision on him because when I listened to him at the parole board he was full of you know what. Please keep my Husband and his Mom in your prayers and thoughts because this monster belongs in jail not running the streets of Massachusetts. Thanks for stopping in. And thanks for your thoughts and prayers

Ok I know what the Blog Candy will be!!!!

2008-01-04T20:37:00.000-05:00

First off let me start by thanking everyone who sent me well wishes in the last 2 or more weeks. I can tell you I have never been that sick in my life. What a time to get sick with so much to do. I don't know how I got thru the holidays but I did and everything went well. I just had to rest a lot and now I am 100 % better.

Ok now for the blog candy!!!! It will be a complete scrapbooking kit. WhoooHooo sounds great doesn't it? it has a 12x12 scrapbook and 12x12 paper in colors and in white. It also has embellishments like brads and ribbon and fiber. It has alphabet stickers and other stickers. it has tags and shapes and so much more..It has buttons and I cant even remember what else. It is like 1200 pieces in all. So I will keep the blog candy chances going until January 14th when I start a weeks vacation from that zoo I like to call work....lol. I really appreciate all of you and can't thank you enough for your wonderful words and thoughts. I hope the candy meets everyones approval. Thanks for stopping. I will try to take a picture of everything and post it.

BLOG CANDY TIME

2007-12-28T22:21:00.001-05:00

I know I haven't really posted lately with being sick and the holidays and of course my birthday. I am almost 100% better and much to my surprise when I signed on tonight I see I have over 10 thousand hits which really excites me because I never thought that would happen. I know I am not big time like some of you but I am so excited and feel so blessed over my hits that I am going to offer blog candy. I am not sure what it will be but I am going to make it something really good because You guys have been good to me. Lets see what I want you to do......Sogn my guest book if you haven't already and then tell me something good you did for someone else this holiday season. what I did was win a contest at work for the most improved store in raising money for childrens miracle network, My prize was $200.00 and instead of keeping it for myself I put on a in store holiday party for the employee's at my store complete with a secret santa. They couldn't thank me enough and as far as I am concerned they deserved it and it raised moral so much it was incredible. Thanks for stopping in and thanks for all the kind comments while I was sick. Happy New Year Everyone

I apologize

2007-12-23T17:42:00.001-05:00

I haven't been around much in the last week. I was so sick with a sinus infection that I couldn't stand being on the computer. I couldn't even think straight. I think I am on the mend now and as soon as I take the pictures I will post a couple of Birthday cards I received this week. Thanks for stopping in.

Sisterhood of Blogging Stampers

2007-12-02T14:12:00.000-05:00

Have You ever realized how many stampers actually have blogs and How many talented people go unnoticed? Well I was over at Flossie's blog the other day and saw this link http://bp1.blogger.com/_k7eLBEdZ6Ow/RzoODllbC9I/AAAAAAAAA9o/BUtR5KIJFV4/s1600/SBS-3-pink.gif and I started browsing and I decided to join. Its fun visiting different blogs and seeing how creative people are. If you like meeting different people who are creative then this is for you. I found a lot of your blogs on splitcoast or people recommended your blogs and I was amazed at what all of you can do. These people in the sbs are very talented to and the hopes is to gain stamping friends. Go check it out and see what you think. they are on the 3rd group so I know I am not the only one looking for fellow stampers. Thanks for stopping in.

Door Knocker

2007-11-27T23:02:00.000-05:00

So I really like these folded tree's and I was upset I couldnt add a sentiment to the card(I used the wrong size card...go figure..lol) so I was thinking I could make something to hang from a doorknob and I did, there is a shadow or something in the corner that makes it it look like the corner folded up but it didn't I don't know why it looks like that. Any way I used cerise dp from stampin up and a flower enbellishment I got from Jaime at crazy daisy and I used purely pomegranite and an old green su cs. I stamped the sentiment with a su stamp and used Old glory gold embossing powder. I like the way it came out kind of plain but cute and it looks great on my front hall doorknob. Thanks for stopping in. I think I am really back I just have all these ideas rolling around my head. Cheryl and I are getting together on friday to make a project and I can't wait because its been so long since we stamped together. ok enough rambling until tomorrow.

weight loss Buddies wanted

2007-11-26T22:16:00.000-05:00

Check it out if you want to lose weight with a buddy, Angel over at http://angelosity.blogspot.com/ is looking for people who want to lose weight and have a sponsor so to speak to go to. I think its a great Idea. I don't need to lose weight but I would be willing to be there for anyone who needs someone to talk them out of a crisis. Not to bring negativity into this but I lost my brother in 97 to a massive heart attack. Ricky was 43 and overweight and not in the best of shape. He smoked he drank and he didnt care what he ate. After Ricky's funeral I took a look at myself and said "Kathy that could have been you".At 200 lbs and only 5'2 I was also a walking time tomb. I told myself I would lose weight. My family and friends told me I was fine the way I was because they all knew I loved food. One thing I can say about myself is that if I commit to something I follow thru. I started my weight loss plan in april and by the end of november I had lost 70 pounds. Now if I can do it so can you. go check out Angels blog and get the info. Lets commit to be healthier bloggers. Thanks for readiing this and thanks for stopping in.

Folded tree card that I had no sentiment for

2007-11-26T20:32:00.001-05:00

So I was visting Jan's blog @ She's gone stamping and I found this tutorial to make a folded tree and I figured I would try it. It was pretty easy to follow her tutorial. I couldn't find a sentiment small enough to put on the card though. I used purely pomegranite cs and cerise dp from su and a little bit of chocolate chip for the trunk. I used crystal effects and dazzling diamonds to make the snow. The card really needs a sentiment and maybe a bit of ribbon but I like the way the tree came out. Thanks Jan for the tutorial. Thanks everyone for stopping in and checking even though I hadn't posted for a long time. I am back!!!

Finally a Card

2007-11-24T22:25:00.001-05:00

I finally made a card and when I was putting the sentiment on the front the wood block got inked ( I guess I will unmount all my stamps. anyway I used purely pomegranite and ww and some cerise dp. Stamps were lovely as a tree and a stamp my DIL sent me for the sentiment. I used some ribbon I found at Micheals and a brad I bought at Walmart and the Criss cross card is from scs. I loved the card until I put the sentiment on it and the block inked too. Anyway you cant tell but I use su chalks to color in the sky and ground. Maybe I can replace the Band around the Criss cross with out wrecking the card. Thanks for stopping in. I will post the card I sent to sara Paschal for her papertrey swap which I was in this month. See I have been stamping I just couldn't post those until they were received by all inviled. Thanks for stopping in.

A little unloading

2007-11-16T23:25:00.000-05:00

For those of you who really don't know me I just really need to talk about this. 20 years ago un January my FIL was murdered. The men who did it pleaded diminished capacity because they were on drugs. We asked for a Jury trial for them but the district attorney did what is called Judge Shopping until he found a judge who would agree to the plea bargain deal. Well these 2 were sentenced to 25 to life. I just had the worst week of my life. Tom and I had to go home to a parole hearing for these 2 monsters. We had to relive the murder and we had to look at these guys once again. They used the typical Jailhouse talk but hopefully the parole board saw thru them, I really think they did but one never knows. so now we wait 6 to eight weeks to hear if these 2 monsters will be released into society to wreak havoc on another family. You know its tough when a parent dies of natural causes but you can't even belive how it feels when a parent is taken from you by another man's hands. I just need to get this off my chest and I didn't know where else to do it. Thank You for listening to me rant But I can't believe this judiscal system and if anyone is interested the case made us news and report back in 1989. You guys are the best for listening to me and I promise now I will create things.

When things go wrong!!!!!

2007-10-09T10:40:00.001-04:00

I really made a card last night and I think it came out kind of nice and i even know what cardstock and ink and stamp set I used. So why isn't she posting it you ask? It seems I have lost my wire that goes from my camera to my computer and Tom never showed me how to insert the chip from the camera into the computer. Hopefully I didn't leave the wire in Vegas. I will continue searching and hopefully tonight I can get the picture posted. Thanks for stopping in

My guys.....LOL

2007-10-04T00:48:00.000-04:00

So remember what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas. This was a sampling of the show I am going to. They did a picture for me and my hubby took a picture of their picture so I could post it. No laughing at how red my face was. Thanks for stopping in

Hoover Dam

2007-10-03T11:57:00.000-04:00

This is my new BIL and I looking down at the hoover dam which at the point we were standing was 726 feet down. I can safely tell you that by stomach did flipflops looking down that far. They are building a highway that crosses over the hoover dam and You will never get me on that it must be 1000 ft in the air. well the Hoover dam was the only gov't project that did not cost the taxpayers a dime. It also payed for itself. the mortgage was paid in like 30 yrs instead of the 50 yrs it was taken out for. To think that in the thirties they had this kind of technolgy, makes me wonder why we are not more advanced with our bridges and structures. Ok enough of that. I am trying to figure how to take a picture of my picture with the chippendales and post it here. My face was a little red on the pics but who cars. Sometime this week I am going to their show. Thanks for stopping in.

Here is the picture I promised

2007-10-02T22:26:00.001-04:00

Hopefully this is a good Picture. I am off to see the chippendales. Thanks for stopping in

They have this Dance and musical show like every hour. There is an overhead show and a stage show, The overhead one is done in what looks like floats hanging from tracks in the ceiling. It is actually very pretty. I went to the Red Rock Mountains and got some really nice pictures that I will post when I can. I am here until Saturday and as promised when I get home I will have some new stampin up stuff and so I will make some cards or projects. Thanks for stopping in and letting me ramble.

Mine isn't as extravagent as most of them but for my first try it isnt bad, I used certainly celery cs and old olive ink and a floral wheel. and of course te\he ribbon is from one of Jody Morrows swaps. You can find the tutorial at splitcoast stampers. Thanks for stopping by.

JT"s Sept rak

2007-09-14T18:44:00.000-04:00

I joined Jens Rak club this month (pieces of me) and this is what I got from Rita over at Ritaslittlecorner.blogspot.com. You have to check out her blog she is very talented. Isn't this a great Rak. It has paper, Ribbon, acrylic stamps and a beautiful crisscross card using baroque motiffs. She did a fantastic job and I am so lucky that i was chosen to be rak'd by Rita. You should check out Jen's wrak club each month too, it is so nice to be rak'd from other bloggers. Thanks for stopping in. I am going to go make a card with some of this stuff that Rita sent.

Another card with my new GinaK Stamps

2007-09-12T19:56:00.000-04:00

Have I told you that I love this set. You can absolutely use it for anything. The only color su cs I can remember the color is is very vanilla and the other colors are old su colors. I used my cuddlebug to emboss on of the mats and I added a couple of brads. I also used su water color pencils and blender pens. I actually did this card a few days ago and just never took a picture until tonight. Thanks for stopping by

Another card with Gina K's stamps for a cause

2007-09-09T22:46:00.000-04:00

I just love these stamps from Ginak's stamps for a cause. I just made this card just for general purposes. I guess you guys must think I am on a roll because I have posted more in the last couple days then I have in ages. I guess I have been in a funk. I used some old su cs and some glitter pack paper. Stamps are ginak's stamps for a cause. Did I tell you I love this set. I did the flower in Marvy markers on the flower. I added a couple of prima's. Be honest and tell me what you think. Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to read the comment my granddaughter left me on her hermit crab. Bug hugs to you all.

Ariel here is your picture of Bob

2007-09-08T21:53:00.000-04:00

My granddaughter asked me to post this so she could see her Hermit crab and how much it has grown. He keeps changing shells and he is such a slob. Thanks for stopping

Birthday Card

2007-09-08T21:29:00.001-04:00

I mentioned earlier that I needed to get off and make a Birthday card and I did. It was for someone who turned 70 today. He is one of the few "Yankee's" that I know here in North Carolina and he is a pretty funny man. well any way I used my new GinaK stamps for a cause. I used my su water color pencils and my blender pens. I used ww cs and some older su shades of blue that I had been hoarding. I added a Prima and a brad and of course ribbon from one of Jody Morrows ribbon swaps. I think I like these new stamps for a cause, These are very versatile and can be used for almost any card you need to come up with. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank You from a Friend

2007-09-08T09:54:00.000-04:00

My friend Cheryl over at Cheryl stamps and scraps sent me this card. She is so talented. You should check out her blog. Thanks for stopping. I am off to make a birthday card.

Anniversary Card to My husband

2007-09-07T22:47:00.001-04:00

Seventten yrs ago sept 8th I finally said I do. Tom had asked me several yrs to marry him but I was afraid because the first marriage was so bad. well After nine yrs together I finally said yes and seventeen years later I would say yes again. My husband Tom is a real keeper. Anyway I used the splitcoast tutorial for this crisscross card. I used an old su color as well as chocolate chip cs and stella ruby cs. I used the doodle that heart and the sentiment inside is from su. the band on the front of the card is some glitter paper I found at If it's Paper and the ribbon is from one of Jody Morrow's ribbon swaps. I think the band should have been a different color but I couldn't change it because he will be home soon. Thanks for stoppin in and any comments or ideas would be appreciated.

Pay it forward

2007-09-04T22:04:00.000-04:00

I saw this over at 2worlds blog and thought it was really cool. The first person who responds I send a card to and also some stamped images. the only catch is that if You are the one I am paying you must post this on your blog and keep the chain going. Thanks for stopping by

Think snow..............Yeah right

2007-09-03T19:22:00.001-04:00

I kind of like how this turned out. I used su's a tree for all seasons and I used cb snowflake embossing folder and then I took a silver ink pad I had and ran it over the embossed cardstock. I used su's watercolor pencils and my blender pens to color in the image. The scalloped squares were sent to me by Sara Paschal. You should check out her blog its great. The ribbon is from one of Jody Morrows ribbon swaps and the sentiment was a chipboard word I had hanging around waiting to be used. Thanks for stopping by

Bad Blogger managed a birthday card.

2007-09-01T20:39:00.001-04:00

Ok so it was Cheryl's birthday and I had to make her a card. She would not have liked it if I bought her a card. check out her blog at Cheryl's stamps and scraps she is pretty talented. Anyway I used the future floor wax and pearlex technique and I used the delight in life flowers. I used stickles in the flowers in the rectangle. The sentiment is from stamping up and the wording inside is something I had that I don't remember where it came from. and the paper is su's. Cheryl liked her card when she got it. Thanks for stopping and I am sorry I haven't been posting I have just been in some kind of funk. I did finish my cards for the christmas swap I am in. I can't post them yet because some of you are in the swap also.

I just might have to get hubby to help but then I have to listen to his computer jibberish.....lol but it might be worth it to learn how to do it. Please be patient while I learn this operating system. Thanks for checking in.

Okay

I did Beate's challenge this week and all I have left to do is add the ribbon and I know that should be easy right? Well I can't find a ribbon I like with it. You can't even imagine how much ribbon I have and its hard to believe I have nothing to go with this card. Must be time to get in another ribbon swap....lol I will try and finish it tonight and If I do I will post it. Cheryl and I stamped the other day and we made a couple of shaker cards using the CD envelopes. they are really cute but I can't post them because I can't remember the stamp set we used. I swear I am losing my mind. Oh well thanks for stopping by.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

DH has decided he is going to put windows vista on my computer, I have talked him out of it since february. If by chance I stop visiting your blog it may be because I lost your blog in this transformation so please feel free to email me and say Hey Kathy where have you been.....Ok so here I go handing my laptop over to DH......Yikes this is making me very nervous but he is the computer guru in this house so maybe just maybe he knows what he is talking about. Ok so I think the laptop is stuck on my lap it doesn't seem to want to have this procedure done. Geesh now I think my computer actually has emotions....lol be back to chec.k out windows vista in a few hours. Wish me luck!!!! Thanks for stopping by and listening to me rant

Opinion Please

So I got into another swap this one using papertrey stamps and I have never used the test box until yesterday. I embossed the leaves on black cs using a gold leafing I bought from su a long time ago. I used choc chip cs and pink cs. I used pixie pink for the little flowers on the pink cs. I used choc chip ink for the sentiment. The sentiment is from the test box stamp set from papertrey. So tell me is it worthy of swapping? I only have to do six in all and one for me would be seven. Thanks for stopping in and thanks for your opinion because it matters to me.

Finally it let me upload the picture. I used cc and bb card stock I used a 1993 su set called Ride on and an Amuse sentiment, Ink was versafine black and su close to cocoa. I think its ok for a masculine card. the brads were something I had hanging around the house. I wish on the 4 pieces surrounding the picture were done in 2 different colors. I used the scs card sketch #99. Thanks for stopping by.

Thoughts of the beach

2007-07-24T10:43:00.001-04:00

I really enjoyed Myrtle beach and that is why I made this card. I used su blk and certainly celery and vv cs. I used the su color pencils and blender pens. Now looking at the card I think I will go back and put color some water in the background. the ribbon is from one of Jody Morrows ribbon swaps. BTW she has one going on right now so head over and check out confessions of a ribbon addict. The price is great but I have a lot of ribbon to use before I can think of more. Thanks for checking in

I got a new stamp from alotta rubber stamps and I just thought it was so cute I had to use it today. I just love all their bee images and I might have to buy some more of their bee's. I used su cardstock and fantastix with dewdrops to color the images. I outlined the bride and groom with a gold glitter pen and added ribbon from one of Jody Morrows ribbon swaps. Thanks for stopping in
