Saying to remember

My husband and I were watching Snow Buddies this morning. If you haven't seen it yet, it is so cute. We love Disney movies even though we are both in our 40's. LOL. At the end of the movie, there was a wonderful quote I wanted to remember.....it might make a cool quote on a card!

Remember life may lead you where

you least expect it

but have faith that you are exactly

where you should be.

To me, a beautiful quote and so true.

More to come later.

Stamp a stack

Here is the picture of the cards I made Friday at stamp a stack. I am sorry the picture is not very good. The card on the right....the ballons one.....has the stripes. That is not scrapbook paper. We glued each strip. She put the paper in the shredder to gt the strips. We then used the Stampin' Up grid paper to line the stripes up. Very cool! I made 5 of each card.

Today, I had a massive headache so I did not do much. I did mount a few of the stamps I ahd sitting here. And, I watched some movies. Now I am cooking dinner for my son and I.

I am going to cut this short because my head is hurting. I will post later when I feel better. Have a good day!

My birthday celebration

My birthday celebration dinner went very well last night. Several of my friends were there.....there were a total of 7 of us including my husband, son and I. A couple friends had things come up and called me earlier in the day to let me know they weren't coming. I was a little disappointed by one friend because the night before she said she was coming and then she never showed up. No phone call or anything. So, when I got home, I called her, text her and e-mailed her and as of tonight I have not heard one word from her. If she had called me during dinner or after to say she was sorry she could not make it, I would not have been upset. Oh well, I guess she will eventually call or e-mail me.

This morning I went to a stamp a stack in Columbus. It was with a Stampin' Up demonstrator. There were only 3 of us and I really enjoyed it. I decided to sign back up for stamp club because it is one Friday a month and a later time so I can actually get there. It starts in May. If I finally unpack my catalog, I can actually look at it but I do know a few things I am going to order in May.

Tomorrow, I will post the cards we made today. We made 2 different designs.....5 of each. I loved both designs. She does the classes on an evening and morning. Since I am off work until April 14, I decided to go this morning.

Until tomorrow, have a good night.

sharing a picture I love

This picture is one that I love. It goes along with the book I am currently reading: A Shepherd's Look at Psalm 23". Just to see the tenderness in His face towards the sheep, makes me realize that He shows that same tenderness to us. What an awesome God we have!!

Well, today I am 1 year older. Do I feel 1 year older? No. I don't even feel my current age....I feel younger. I guess that is a good thing. So, what is in store for my special day. Not much. I have been watching TV and dozing this morning because I stayed up late last night. I am heading to take a shower. Then I think I will take a break from unpacking boxes and pull out what craft stuff I have found and just play with the stuff. And maybe put some Stampin' Up stamps together....if I find my scissors!!! LOL. I still haven't found any of my craft scissors. Oh, and have a little lunch. I say little because we are going to dinner at a restaurant called Provino's tonight. We like to go to Provino's on birthdays because the birthday person gets their meal free....can't beat that. It is an Italian restaurant. Italian is not my favorite but if its free, I'll eat it!!! LOL. I am getting my favorite there tonight...eggplant parmesan.....Mmmmm. A bunch of friends are coming along with my hubby and son so it will be fun.

Not much else to report so I am going to go shower and start my day....at 12 noon!!!! LOL

Love you all and thanks for reading my little world!

Another example to show you

Here is another technique I did around Christmas time at my stamping group. My friend, N, showed us this one. It is the wax paper resist technique. I love the way it looks. I proceeded to make some ATC (Artist Trading Cards) using this technique. I have used other colors....brighter colors.

Today we did a couple errands and took Thomas to the dr. for his annual physical. He had to get 3 shots. He did very well, too. Tonight, I will do some more unpacking. The more boxes I get unpacked, the more my friend, C, can have!!!! LOL

I know this is short but I have some stuff to get done. Enjoy ther est of your day.

baby wipe technique

This is a baby wipe technique I did in a class I took. You can't see very well but behind the flower, is some light color. To do this, you take a baby wipe, put a few dots of dye ink refill. Then you go straight down your cardstock and it makes a streak of color. The more pressure you put, the darker the color. I prefer the lighter color. Everything in this card is Stampin' Up.

I really like Stampin' Up products especially their cardstock. But pretty much all my stamp pads are from them, too. I also have several stamps from Stamp Land....another company I like. I like to go to rubberstamp festivals because I can see all the new stuff. Around here, we just have Hobby Lobby, Michael's and A.C. Moore. Not much in a variety of stamps. The closest rubberstamp store is in Atlanta which my stamping group has made 2 trips to and I did buy a few things.

Ah....I wish I could win the lottery so I could buy all the supplies I want....lol. It is always good to dream...lol.

Happy Easter to everyone. This is one of my favorite holidays. Not for the candy, decorated eggs or bunny but for the real reason we celebrate. It reminds me of what Jesus did for each one of us. So, may we each not forget his dying love for us.

work in progress

My blog is still a work in process. I added some more to the side. I don't have any current pics as I can't do any card-making right now until I unpack. LOL I hope to take some pictures of my cross-stitch works in progress and then hopefully pictures when I finish a project!!

Next week I will have some cards to show. Friday, I am going to a stamp a stack in Columbus. It is the day after my birthday so it is part of my present from James. Then the first Friday in April, I will be going to a stamp a stack in Auburn. So, at least I will get some cards done to have for people.

The picture I added to this is a masking tape technique. The first card I did to show my Techno group how to do it. The second card one of the members, M, did. I showed them how to do it then they made their own. This was her interpretation. I think it is so creative.

My Techno Group is a group of ladies that meet the second Saturday of every month to share the love of stamping. We show each other different techniques and other stuff. And, sometimes we just sit and chat and do nothing. We are very laid back. There are only 4 members right now and 2 of us live in Alabama and 2 in Georgia. I am the only one that lives in the Central time zone, though...lol. I live so close to the Georgia border and right over the central time zone.

One of my books I am reading

I have been reading a book called "A Shepherd's Look at Psalm 23". This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have read it. Each time I see something different. Basically the author takes each verse and digs in and shows you what is meant by it. As the author states at the beginning, if you are not a sheep herder, you would not understand the references in it. Each night, I read 1 chapter so I thought I would share some insights here. If you are not interested in this part then just skip over it. I will post rubberstamping and stuff, too. Tonight I wills tart with typing out Psalm 23 for you.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall
not want
He makes me lie down in
green pastures;
he leads beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the
darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely, goodness and mercy
shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of
the Lord
my whole life long.

Hello

Hello all....





Welcome to my new blog! I decided to start a new one. Over time, there will be pictures of rubberstamping, cross-stitch, my new place, and whatever else I feel like posting. I am posting 1 picture now. This was a technique we did using Createx paint and the smoosh technique. I love doing the smoosh technique with all different products. You come out with a different background each time. The colors on this one look so good together. I have done it with other colors, too but I seem to go abck to the pinks, purples and light greens. I have also tried different papers. Each type of paper and color give different effects.

On another note, I head to the doctor's today to see about my foot. For those that don't know, I fractured my foot. I have been out of work for about 4 weeks now.

March 1 we moved to a new duplex. We now have a 3 bedroom so I have a craft room/office which I will share with James. It will also be used as a sort of den. There is a couch and TV in there, too. But the walk- in closet is a place I wil be able to organize my craft stuff. I am putting 2 shelves in there to help with that. Now I just need to get all unpacked.

Avon is going fine. Being out of work, I have not been able to pass out books at work. I have some people in our new neighborhood that want a book so I need to get those out.

James met some of the neighbors while walking Harold. They have get-togethers in the summer and invited us to come to one. He also found out that one of them scrapbooks and she wants to get together sometime to scrapbook. Sounds like fun!

I got word last night from my friend, C, that the kittens have been born. We will be getting one when they are ready. She said 2 are grey and 2 are black. I can't wait to see them and pick the one I want. Yes, we are getting one. The black one sounds intriguing. Now I have to pick a name. I have a funny one like Pergo. This is because we saw a commercial for pergo floor and the couple named their dog that because it was the one thing he could not ruin. And, I have a few others I like. In fact, I think I will get your opinion. When I decide which color kitty I get then I will post a poll for all of you to vote. LOL...commercial just came on for Pergo flooring and the dog....LOL

Next week is my birthday. My mom already bought me my present before she left in Feb. She bought me a cuttlebug which I love. I can't wait to play with it more. I like that it uses other dies like Sizzix in it. I will be experimenting with it. My husband is getting me a crop-a-dile and case.

Well, I better go unpack. I want to get my craft stuff organized so I can create cards and stuff. I also have to work on my skinny pages for our skinny book.
