Cookies for the Divas!


Today is an exciting day at Two Paper Divas!   New stamps have been released!  Woo Hoo!!!   I am so excited to share a new set called Mason Jar Accessories #4.   I love how they keep adding new stamps to fill up the jars! I used the Large Mason Jar stamp for this one.    Who doesn't love cookies?   I was hungry the whole time I was coloring them that's for sure!  

Here's the rest of that set.  Lots of cute images and sentiments!

Today has been a day for me.  I had a root canal this morning.  I have terrible dentist anxiety and almost had a panic attack just driving there!  I cried once I was in the building, but then I had the best lady taking care of me and I was fine.  This was a new office to me and they were amazing.  I don't think I've had a dental procedure done without that fabulous gas EVER, but I did today thanks to them.   Now I am just resting up before I go do my little bit of volunteer work and pick up dinner.  


The current book obession has been Green Eggs and Ham.  It was my favorite book back when I was in kindergarten, so it's fun to read it to her.   Over and over and over and over...  lol

Freshly Made Sketches Sunshine


It's Wednesday and time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!   Linda is our hostess this time and she has a super cool sketch this week.  My first card was a bit of a bummer, so I thought up a new idea and ran in my room and made it in record time yesterday.  Laila and I are having a rough week, so stamping just isn't happening much.   These cute dies from Lawn Fawn and a sentiment from PaperTrey Ink helped me put together a card I love super fast.  :)   Can't beat that!

Hopefully Linda forgives me for flipping the sketch.  I think I still have the sketch in there, just a bit different.  Pretend it fell over.  Ha!  

Here's another shot of Laila at the park last week.  :)   She was all excited to be in the "big girl" swing.

Prickley Pear Monday Inspiration


It was warm here last week, so I wanted to make a fun, bright card for my Prickley Pear inspiration.   Aren't those little ducks sweet?  I just love them. :)   Very simple card, but the the yellow just makes me happy.   The set this comes from has a lot of different images and shapes and coordinates with some lovely dies.

Stamps:  Scalloped Circle & Oval 4 - Floral

W&W Happy Birthday


I made this card a while back and then totally forgot to post it!   Tonight is the last night to enter Winne & Walter's birthday bash challenges, so I'm lucky and can still link it up.  Yay!

WWBdayChallengeMoodBoard

Lea's challenge was based on this mood board.  I am not a good person, but I do love me some purple.  I hope I captured the mood of the board with my card.   I used some pretty tissue paper that I had hoarded stored away for a special occasion and I think the gold stars were perfect for this challenge. 

Laila came in today to work on organizing my stamp room while I made a card.  I guess my method of arranging them needed some improvement and she was very proud of herself for stacking them.  :)  lol   We had a nice family night tonight.  My mom sent her the Frozen movie so we had pizza and popcorn while we watched it.  It was her first movie and she did great!    She's already asked to watch it again, so I guess we have joined the Frozen madness.

Two Paper Divas Inspiration


Man has my laptop been cranky!  I'm finally getting to post my card I made for Two Paper Divas this week.  I'm sure you're thinking you are on the wrong blog because I don't normally do shabby, but I was inspired by the cards the rest of the team makes and decided to try it.  It is a difficult style for me, but I had fun!  

Stamps:  Large Seed Packet, Seed Packet Accessories #1, Banners #2


I added some Glossy Accents to my cherries to give them a bit of shine.   I've recently started using that product and I love it!  


We went to the park yesterday and Laila was so brave!  She had a blast and tried all the slides, even the big one!  :)

Freshly Made Smiles


Happy Wednesday.  I hope the week has good so far!  It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  I am the hostess this week, so I hope you like the sketch!

I went pretty simple with my card.  It's all Stampin' Up! paper in Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, and Tangerine Tango.  Weird combo, but it was what I was in the mood for the other night. 

It's been a long day for me, so I'm posting this early on Tuesday night and heading off to read and relax until Jason gets home.  We have been watching Dexter on Netflix,  so I have to behave and wait on him so we can start season three.  :)

Stampin' Up! Nuts About You


I thought I'd share one of the projects we made at my little gathering on Sunday.   Everyone wanted to make a card for Valentine's Day so this was what I came up with.   I hadn't inked up this cute little set yet, so it was time!  :)   Don't you just love those little squirrels?!

Look how big my baby is. :(   I can't stand it.  Today I gave her a little Pinterest-inspired project, a calm down bottle.   She seems to get upset a lot lately, so I made it to help her relax and calm down.  She's been trying to assert her independence which doesn't always work out so great when it is something that she can't have or do.  Man they grow up fast don't they?!
