Happenings in the World of Color

Well, Thursday night my knee gave out during a volleyball game and I am waiting to get an MRI to see what is really going on with it. I guess once you turn 25 it's down hill from there. The xray has found some changes in my bone near the joint (nothing broken, much rather would have had a fracture they heal much easier) so I will get more info on that too. So I will have a lot of time stampin' while my knee is crampin'. I will be a prisoner in my stamping studio- I know not many of you feel bad for me in that respect but not being able to walk around really puts a damper on any plans.

In digital news Toni over at Stampingdiva lost her entire blog. She has great ideas and is the queen of patterned paper and making "stuff" so go leave a comment to start her off right.

Well I feel the "knee"d to stamp something but really can't walk in my studio since it looks like a mine field! Hope to bring some inspiration in the world of color soon!!

Grateful for many...

Made these cards for my friends who have helped me with my business this year. Thanks to all of you ladies (Amber, Brandy, Carla, Jill, Otilia, Priscilla, Tommie, and Toni) I have had another sucessful year with Stampin' Up! They have either attended my classes, ordered SU! product or both- you gals ROCK!!! Hope you all had something to be thankful for this year. Happy Thanksgiving!

RAK from Carla

Received this card from Carla. She has AMAZING watercoloring skills huh!?? Thanks Carla!

Cactus cutie

This cactus is just the cutest, decided to use the smaller image in the cowboy set instead of the cowboy as the focal point. I think it's cute. This was made with scraps I had. My goal is to use up more of my scraps that I have been accumulating this year. So much to do so little time!

Forgot to add these bad boys...

More pages from my mom's birthday book. The cover page I forgot to photograph, but I printed out her favorite saying "Horses are like potato chips, you can never have just one."

Album for my Mom's Birthday

I made this book for my mom, there is more pages that will add to it from last year and with her horses in the future. She was pretty excited that it will grow over the years. Really need to gear up into scrapbooking I have a ton to do! Wedding Album for my sister (most likely 2 12x12 albums), Disney Album for my aunt (1 8x8 album), a 12x12 album of Miss Arizona 2007, and of course my regular albums for Paul and myself. I am chronologically up to my Girl Scout Gold Award, then next would be the Air Force. Wowza I'd better get off the computer and start creating huh!?

Eh, not diggin' it.

This sketch just doesn't do it for me. What in a sketch does it for me I don't know but this one is just off. This is the SCS Sketch 149 and the color combo is SCS Color Combo. I love love love adding stickles, should probably add to my stash. Thanks to Toni my bling extrodinaire!!

Color combo- how inspiring...

Love how bright and cheery a holiday card can be. SCS Color Challenge 138 is yummy!

Toni's Sketchbook Tuesday (on Thursday)

Finally got a good shot of this little card. I am really diggin' the asian feel of it, the color combo is from SCS Color Challenge #140 and Stamping Diva's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. Can you believe I have had these stamps for over 2 years and they have never been used except for my index, what a shame- I LOVE THEM!!

A card for the holidays...

Love the combo of bashful blue and chocolate together!

Journey

Inspired by a card in the Take Ten Summer 2006 page 36.

Let it snow, or let's pretend in Phoenix!

This has to be my favorite snowman. He is just so round, and the polka dots are perfect for him. Almost like scoops of icecream, since it doesn't get very cold here!

The color loves me or loves me not

Made this card over at my fave stampin' buddy's house (Toni) forced this card out and not thrilled with the color combo, I loved it at the time but then thought it was gross. I came across it again and the love is back! Sorry Toni, must be another one of those color blind days! Ha!

Princess Magnets

Never made a magnet with a page pebble before, but I think these turned out ADORABLE! Saw the idea on this blog here. 41 girls attended Miss Arizona 2007 Nicole Turner's "A Day in the Life of Miss Arizona 2007" event and received 2 magnets, a beaded pen, 3x3 card with a note from Miss Arizona 2007 and a business card from me. They turned out pretty cute. ENORMOUS THANKS TO BRANDY AND OTILIA FOR THIER HELP creating the cards, pens and bagging everything you ladies ROCK MY WORLD!!! I will have to find a left over bag to take a photo of the other items. Thanks again ladies you made each girl feel like a PRINCESS!

Reese's Peanut butter cup case

Made over 30 of this little buggers and will NEVER do it again! My hand was cramped for days. Geez, now if Cuttlebug made a diecut of it I would be interested. There is a full size peanut butter cup in each box. The very first trick-or-treater said "YEEESSS!" when I handed it to him. I guess all of my hard work paid off. Here is the template for these cute containers. A few are definatly worth creating!

Best Witches!

Well in the spirit of November (you all know I am a PROCRASTINATOR!) thought you would enjoy the halloween cards I made for family this season.
