Valentine Top Note Box
Earlier this week, I hosted a "Be My Valentine" Stamp Camp. We had a lot of fun creating a couple of cards along with a 3D project using the Top Note Die. This box was created using a pattern that I had received from my upline and I'm not certain where she obtained the pattern - so - I'll give credit to my upline, Jen Krieger, for the pattern and to whom ever else may have created the pattern as I'm certain you know who you are and I want to give you a big Thank You for this pattern. Update: The pattern is from Becky Roberts :)
This Top Note box is just cute. I haven't embellished the box yet but hope to soon when my Heart Embosslit arrives early next week!
I hope you enjoy the box and small 3x3 card sample! If you look closely, you can see the tip of my kitty cats nose assisting in the "modeling" of the box and card!

Card Stock: Real Red
Designer Series Paper: Sending Love
Grosgrain 1/4" Ribbon: Real Red

I Love You!
Yes, I love you! When I was single, I dreaded the coming of Valentines Day because it meant all those couples "In Love" would be going out to celebrate. It was a holiday that just made me a little depressed.
Now I have my special someone (and, no, I don't mean my Little Guy, Caleb). The love of my life is Mike! Sometimes we forget to show our love for each other in tangible ways by just getting caught up in our daily lives and that is where I've learned Valentines Day reminds us to love those that are in our lives even if they are single. Sometimes, the best way to show that love is by sending them a special card or note telling them that we care and are thinking about them. Of course, CHOCOLATE is always appreciated ;)
To help me show my love, I enjoy creating handmade cards, 3D projects and scrapbooks. Lately, I've been more focused on creating handmade cards and wanted to share one of my latest creations.

Welcome 2010!
Wow! 2009 is gone and we are already into the middle of January 2010! This past year has been chock full of wonderful events in the lives of my husband and I. At the end of March I became a Stampin' Up! demo which I've thoroughly been enjoying then at the end of September I became a new mom with the adoption of our son, Caleb!
I'm really looking forward to 2010. New challenges and opportunities are just waiting. There is so much I want to do with Stampin' Up! and it is my hope that it all comes to fruition over the next 11 months while maintaining the balancing act of being a new mom along with caring for my wonderful husband.
To my wonderful friends and clients this past year, I say thank you for your support and I look forward to sharing a wonderful 2010 with you!

Searching for gift ideas?
Looking for some great gift giving ideas? Well, I have lots of different ideas that I would love to share with you!
- Do you have a young girl in your life that likes to keep a diary? Consider making her a handmade journal great for keeping all those special memories and thoughts.
- How about some home decor? I have coaster tiles that are simple, yet elegant or decor element blocks decorated for the home to be displayed during the holidays or you can make the blocks into a photo block to be displayed year round!
Stampin' Up! Specials
Stampin' Up! has some wonderful specials this month as we start thinking about the holidays. Check out the Holiday Gift Guide for ideas or call me so we can talk about different gift giving ideas that you can create. Also, I'm always available to help you with ideas and creating those special gifts.
Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays!
Free Crops! Come over for some fun.
I will be hosting several free crops this month in my home. If you are looking for an opportunity to get away so you can work on those holiday projects, this is a great opportunity! Come on over for some girl time and get those projects completed. Bring those card, scrapbooking, knitting, quilting or sewing projects - We have room for you!
Friday, November 6 @ 5:00 pm - Midnight Madness crop! We will get crafty from 5pm until midnight!
Sunday, November 15 from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm - All Day Crop! This will be a great opportunity to work on more of those projects. I'll also be offering personal scrapbooking assistance throughout the day helping with basic layouts and designing theory!
Saturday, November 21 from 10:00 am to MIDNIGHT - All Day Crop! Yep, HUBBY is out of town on a retreat so we will be celebrating by getting our crafty mojo on! Come and party with me. Kids are welcome at this all day crop and if we have enough interest, we may pitch in to hire a babysitter to help out with the younger toddlers and infants.
If you are interested in any of these free crops, please contact me ASAP to RSVP for the event. I would also ask that you bring a food item to share with the group. On the all day events, we may also consider ordering pizza or something if there is interest.
ALLERGY ALERT - I have 2 dogs and 1 cat! Also, if you have the flu or a bad cold, I would ask that you not come to the crop as we have a month old infant.
A Baby Card
With so much baby stuff going on in my life at the moment I thought it was only appropriate to create a cute, yet fairly simple baby card. This card was done for a Chat & Challenge on SUDSOL.
I hope you enjoy!

Growth Chart Fun
Do you have little ones in your home? Or, maybe you are a Grandma that has the Grandkids visiting on a regular basis?
Wouldn't it be fun to keep track of their growth using a very cute growth chart? Stampin' Up! has a great special going on at the moment with the Decor Elements growth chart. If you don't want the growth chart put on the wall, put it on a large piece of decorated plywood or something similar so you can take it with you when you move.
I know I'll be getting the growth chart. Some of you may know that my husband and I have been hoping to adopt a newborn infant. Today, August 27th, we received a phone call that there is a birthmother that would like to meet with us in person. We are very excited about meeting her and lift her up in prayer. The scary part - she is DUE on September 17, 2009! YEP... eek! We haven't done a THING with the nursery and, to top it off, we are going to be out of town for a week returning on Sept. 11.
But, in the meantime, I am starting to think about all the great decorating options offered by Stampin' Up! using the Decor Elements.

My New Blog Design
Wow, I can't express in enough words how excited I am about my new blog design and layout. It is absolutely beautiful and the perfect expression of who I am! I want to give a shout out to the TWO wonderful ladies that helped put everything together.
Michelle Laycock of Laycock Designs designed all the beautiful graphics from the banner to the buttons and my end of post seperator. I couldn't ask for anything better. Michelle was awesome to work with and I would recommend her services to anyone interested in a banner to the whole shebang! When I had questions about using my watermark, Michelle called me back quickly and gave me a quick tutorial over the phone. Again, thank you Michelle for the beautiful blog design.
Heather Wright-Porto put the finishing touches in place by doing the background work on the blog side of things. I have to say she has been awesome to work with as well even with a new baby addition to the family. I didn't make it easy for Heather since I added the navigational bar to my banner but she pulled it together. Again, thank you Heather for doing the end work to pull my blog together.
Now, in celebration of my new blog, I'm going to be having a little giveaway - Some Blog Candy! Details will be posted in the next few days so keep watching for what you need to do to be entered into the drawing for some BLOG CANDY!
