Just 3...I can do that.

So, just before I decided to change my entire life I found zenhabits. Thanks Ali! This site has inspired me to make many changes in my life. I am a list maker. A MAJOR list maker, they should probably have a 12 step program for me, but writing out the 12 steps wouldn't help me stop writing lists! Anyway I have searched the blog high and low for the post that has inspired this and had no luck...so here goes...my to do list is longer than I am, so zenhabits says to break it down and complete 3 tasks each day that are moving toward your goals. This is my little book 'just 3' to keep me on track. It's the smallest book I have made to date. Awww....ooooosheee boo boo do boo. Used some of the chipboard I cut at the Scrapbook Hideaway, new Martha Stewart stamps, the bind it all for the second time AND a new in color for '10. All of that jam packed into this little book for "make progress on my to do list" motivation.

Ooh la la New la la

These are the new colors from SU! this year. Yum, they are so fresh! I created these little gift cards for my cousin Cimberlee.

SA-WEET!

I believe these Digi Shack images are no longer available, but too cute none the less! I love icecream cones. Here's to summer!!!!

Hey BeBe

This card is an unusual size for me, oh wait it's my favorite size right now! What can I say I love baby cards. I really need to start making envelopes for all of my tiny pieces of art. This is the bebe stamp I got from a clearance bin at Hobby Lobby in Billings. Probably the fastest I have used a stamp EVER! I'm setting new records all over the place.

Blah blah blah

This is Makenna, she is my BFF. She is such a pistol. Just like her momma. While talking on the phone to her Dad these are her expressions- talk about versatile! She kept saying "I know Dad, blah blah blah, whatever Dad." Crackin' me up!!! So this is for her Dad's birthday. I cut out all of these little photos during the World Series game. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

mmmmm...cupcakes

KWERNER is a genius, she put my two favorite things together cupcakes and the perfect color challenge!!!! I love black, white and gray together didn't I tell you July was going to ROCK!? And this is only the second day. Yeah hoo, or woot woot as I read from my past teenage girl scouts - they keep me hip.

Scored the background with my score pal- the best pal EVER, to make it look like the little cupcake paper cup dealio. And cupcakes are a bit high maintenance so rhinestones were in order.

Just a little gift set...

I have been obsessed with my scor-pal here for the last month. I bought mine from Toni as one of my 1/2 off items! What a deal, and let me tell you it is worth it. I am really pleased with it! I got the template off of the Scor-pal website. These are 3x3 cards which Beate inspired me to make if I need to help get my creative juices flowing. The stamps used in this little card set will only be available until August 11. I thought I would use Snow Flurries in more of a springy less ho ho ho style.

Sketchin' with Stampin' Diva

Inspired by Toni's sketch.

Let's heat it up!

Stamping, seems to be a whole lot of scrappin' these days and this was my welcome back into the stamping world. I need some warming up for sure! I have been on a mini book craze. I want to make a mini book for everything now.

Here is my current creative agenda...

Disney Cruise Album (EK success changed page protectors need to solve that and make title page)

The Mustache Book (working on the quotes throughout)

Miss Arizona Album (This will be a long one, pecking away)

Mom's Horse Album (Have picked out all cardstock and patterned paper to go with it)

Sister's Wedding Album (Need to get one more batch of photos printed, started choosing sketches for each layout)

Untitled book (not sure what it will be called, it is about everything I love...hmmm that could be the title)

Japan Album x 3 for my friends now in North Dakota, South Carolina and Arizona (size and color combo chosen)

and the future creative agenda...

use up 20 lbs of scrap paper

organize photos, keepsakes and layout ideas by event or book in files (this way I can jump around on different projects so I don't force creating anything)

Gold Award Girl Scout Album

Air Force Album

gear up for craft faire in November

A week late

Had this in my head since last week, but just now got into the ole stampin studio to bring it to life. Thanks Toni for the chipboard idea! Here is color challenge 6 from KWERNER. I just can't put down this tim holtz stamp! It is just so flourishy and fabulous!

What the sketch... there are a lot of color combos!

SCS color challenge 88 and sketch challenge 168. I have waited a long time for this set, it was the right place and the right time.


I like the simplicity of this bad boy. SCS color challenge 52 and SCS sketch challenge 143.


SCS color challenge 79 and sketch challenge 164. The sentiment was wrote with a pen and covered with red stickles.


SCS color challenge 59 and sketch challenge 152.

Sunset... a color challenge

This card is for my friend in Arizona. I used i{heart}tostamp's sketch. And SCS color challenge #17
This card uses SCS color Challenge #113. And will be used to thank my uncle for dragging all of my stuff up to Montana.


This pictures were taken at the Missouri River- gorgeous isn't it!? Well I had a massage yesterday from my aunt and once I laid on her table she said, I have all day do you. My back and shoulders screamed YES! Ran some errands, had a milkshake, took a hard nap, life doesn't get better than that!

Sketches and color combos inspire me!

New supplies, new sketches and I am feeling inspired! Here is another little ditty I completed this weekend! Ah, feels good to be back in action! Find the sketch at i{heart}2stamp. And this is SCS color combo #48.

Toni's thank you for Catalog release...

My friend Toni is the best at making "stuff". She made these little cuties for all of the attendees. I love the chocolate in there but can't seem to mess it up. Ohhhseebooboo, aren't they cute!?

Journey

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

Sketch contest for Stamping Diva

Toni over at Stamping Diva has a sketch every Tuesday and this week it is two challenge sketches- check them out!! The contest is for a $19.95 set out of the current TAC catty that's if her hubby picks your card--go on create a card and make him choose your card! Thanks for the opportunity girl!

Page Map sketch comes to life!

This is a page map sketch (you can find it under card maps on their site), really like it, I will be using it again. Actually a good way to use up those scraps (although I had to cut into my new 12x12 DCWV paper pack!). Ah, the endless battle with scraps!

Bonanza #3

These card on top of card bases are too cute, never liked this set until I saw it with yellow- it matches my truck!!

Bonanza #4

My first ACETATE card- wahoo I am all grown up now, yeah right Toni really had to break this card down for me. The brads hold the image on through the front of the card. It's why I took the class to learn from the STAMPING DIVA- she knows all!!

Bonanza #6

Lovin the colors and circles- I'm beyond grateful for this card bonanza!!
