Just a little something..

Finally got a chance to share this with you all... I made this about 2 weeks ago before getting sick... It's a wrapped Hersheys bar for a Valentine card & candy swap I participated in in a yahoo group.

Enjoy!

January Sketch Card - SSSD

Here is my January sketch swap card for SSSD. Each month the sketch swap features a different theme. This months theme was winter. I have to admit I had a hard time with this one... I couldn't decide what to do as I didn't have a whole lot that reminded me of winter and not Christmas... but here it is!

Spring Kit Swap

Here's the second card I made for the Spring Card Kit swap! I LOVE Fluffles stamps and yet again, didn't even realize I had it! LOL

Enjoy!

Swappin Craze...

I have officially gone CRAZY! I think I've got about 10 swaps going right now! Here is my newest addition... I signed up for a Spring Card Kit Swap on SCS a couple days ago and I was so excited! It only took me 2 days to get to sets of kits together and mailed if that tells ya how excited I was! LOL

I put together this card because the first thing I think of when I think Spring is flowers and pastel colors. I fell in love with this stamp when I ran across it... I didn't even know I had it! LOL That's soooo like me!

Enjoy!

This is by far one of my family's favorite easy casserole dish's! It's abosolutely delicious! I was using up some scraps I had laying around for these cars so I honestly don't know what colors I used.

Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies

Cherry Chocolate-Chip Cake

Midnight Musings...

I'm going to share this card front that I made for an SU Stars swap I hosted although I'm not super crazy about it...

I think maybe it needs some of the Raven Lace Ribbon... which of course I haven't ordered yet! LOL

What Can't You Pass Up From the Holiday Mini?!

I don't think I would be able to live without SEVERAL things in the new mini catalog but my absolute FAVORITE thing in the catty is the Spider Web embossing folder! I haven't ordered the Northern Flurry embossing folder for Christmas yet, but I think that's a MUST HAVE too!!


Here are some cards I received in a Holiday Mini Swap I recently hosted through the SU STARS yahoo group of SU! demos. I made a few sets of cards for this swap so I would have multiples of everyones cards to share with friends and family and I'm going to give a set away here to one lucky person! (U.S. only please)
