Hello Kitty swap card . . .

Okay anybody who TRUELY knows me, knows that I am the BIGGEST Hello Kitty freak!!!! And the first day of convention I was lucky enough to get this card in a swap!!!!!! Of course I was HAPPY for the rest of the day! This card was made by Carol Lovenstein from Portland, Oregon. She used Regal Red CS, Whisper White, Glossy White, So Saffron and Basic Black. Kitty was made by using Coluzzle, and ears were made with 1 1/4 sq. punch and horizontal punches! YOU BETTER BELIEVE I WILL BE CASING THIS CARD!!!! HEE HEE! That's all for now, tune in 2morrow for some more great pictures from convention!!!!!!

Pictures from convention. . .

Here is a picture of the wonderful ladies that I attented convention with. From Left to Right, Red shirt, Michelle, me, Lori, and Adrienne!!!! We had a blast!

Juanita this one's for you . . .

I posted this picture just to gross Juanita out! She can't understand my OBSESSION with my UPS man, I just wanted to show her that I'm not the only person who loves their UPS man! hee hee!!!! LOL

Okay Juanita, this post is just for you!!! First of all, Juanita is my cuzion and we talk ex-least if not more than 10x a day, as we were having our morning chat, I was explaining to her that I used my Crop-A-Dile, for something other than scrapbooking. I used it because I needed to punch more holes in my belt!! YEAH :0) Then she asked, "What is a Crop-A-Dile?" I said, "WHAT" girl, you NEED to start coming back to workshops! How dare you not know what a crop-a-dile is! This tool is used to put eyelets in paper, cardboard, leather on your belt, bonk a burglar over the head with it in the middle of the nite, etc. . . You requested a side picture of the flowers I made for grandma last nite and here it is. Side of flower. I used Reese's Miniature's. The recipe for making these cute flowers is: You make one flower, put one chocolate in your mouth, repeat, make one flower, one in mouth, repeat . . . .

Now this is really scary!!!

2 Projects . . .

Good Morning Blog Friends . . . I was a little buzy bee last nite :0)
The first is a bag that I made for my good friend Cindy, it was supposed to be filled the the little treats that I got for convention, but one of my little fuzzy ferrets decided to help them selves to my 20th Anniversary SU snacks! Can't be mad, cuz their sooooo darn cute! I got the pattern for these cute bags here. sorry I don't know how to type here with the underline and it takes you to the website, so your stuck with this big long web address that you have to press, if someone could email how to just type here and the website will pop up, PLSE EMAIL ME, I NEED HELP! HEE HEE :0)http://dianagibbs.typepad.com/stampin_with_di/2008/06/box-in-a-bag-tutorial.html?cid=119646038
The next project is some flowers I made with the SU scallop punch, you cut in to make them look like flowers, glue to a reese's peanut butter cup, sorry I forgot to take a side view picture! My bad! You then pierce a BBQ stick thru the candy, decorate with ribbon and crimp green paper and punch with large SU oval punch and WaaLaa! Pretty Flowers!!!!! This idea, was taken from a swap I received at Convention, and sorry I say I can't give the person credit becuz she didn't put her info anywhere on the flower! Have a great day, see ya'll 2morrow! (Posting two days in a row, I think I'm gonna fall over)! LOL

It's About Time . . .

I can finally post pictures!!!! YEAH!!!! The 3 cards that I am showing you today, are the 3 cards that I made to swap at convention! The tope card is using Doodle This stamp, SU tab punch for bass of flower, and SU double sided paper!
The second card is close to cocoa paper is stamped using a NEW sentiment stamp from the NEW stampin up catalog!
And the third card is a 3x3 card made using pretty in pink cardstock, scallop punch and you cut in to make it look like a flower double sided paper punch with a 1' circle punch for the middle of the flower. Certainly Celery cardstock for the leaves that I ran thru the crimper. That's all I have for now, please tune it 2morrow for 3 cards from convention, that I received in swaps that are on my top favorite!!!!

Camp Cards . . .

Well I haven't fallen off the face of the earth :0) I've been busy getting my son ready for camp and me ready to go to my first SU convention! Michael aka Daddybear, left for Camp with the YMCA yesterday, and these are a couple of the cards I made for him. It's a big deal at camp to get mail, they make the kids dance and earn their mail! The first one I cased, from who? I didn't write the name down, sorry! :0)
This next card, is just skull paper I picked up from Tall Mouse and mounted on Basic Gray cardstock, too bad, you can see the green bling, in the middle of his eyes!!!!!!!!!!!
The inside is a sticker, and Princess Fiona is our baby girl ferret!
He also got a crabby crab card and another card, which of course I forgot to take a picture of, before I sealed the envelope! hee hee with the cute as a bug set, all from SU except the skull card! I'm off too work on more swaps for convention. And when I come home, I'm making a mental note to blog EVERYDAY!
