Aren't they just the cutest boys? I know, I am bragging, but I can't help it. Andrew and Carlos just melt my heart. I had such a great time with them this past week. I have to admit, they wore this Mimi out, but afternoon walks to the park and ice cream are the best. I sure do miss them and can't wait to see them in October. We are going to host Andrew's 8th birthday party here. He and I are planning an EXTREME sports party. I have the perfect stamp set for the invitations. Andrew gave his approval before he left. We will be Skyping each other to finalize the details.

Just a post
Sorry for the lapse in postings. My grand "boys" have been here this week and we try and squeeze in as much time as possible. They are leaving this morning so I am a little blue today.
I did want to post this photo I took of my dog Weezer. I got my Stampin' Up! Gala tote today WOO HOO! It has so much room. I can get all kinds of things in there. After unpacking my tote, my dog Weezer likes to spend time in my craft room. This day she found the Stampin' Up! box to be the perfect spot to nap.
I have two cards challenges to finish, a card swap to prepare for and a little house cleaning to do. Having to very active boys in the house left my house a little cluttered (I wouldn't trade it for the world though.)
I will post photos of my boys and my other projects later.
Be Blessed everyone.

My New Score Board!!!
I am so happy today. Last week I ordered one of Martha Stewart's Score Boards. I had seen so many great reviews that I HAD to have one. I went to my local craft store and they were sold out, which made me want one even more. Today mine came in the mail. I had a few minutes to check it out and am very pleased with it. The only thing it didn't have was measurements for smaller envelopes. It took me a few minutes, but I think I have it figured out. I will post a tutorial with some samples in my next post.
Be Blessed,

Gift for Jeannie
Over the weekend I made this cute little brag/scrapbook for my friend and upline Jeannie Romanello who is soon to be a new grandma. She is supposed to be leaving sometime this week and I wanted to make sure she had it before she left for North Carolina. Hopefully while she is helping Melissa, she will take lots of photos to share when she returns home.
I was a little disappointed that I didn't use Stamp' Up! DSP because I was in a hurry and didn't plan properly, but I did use our Big Shot with the Scallop Envelope die and Stampin' Up! punches to accent it.
Congratulations Jeannie (a/k/a grandma)!!!
Be Blessed,

SP Color Combo Challenge # 58
While drinking my coffee and reading my blogs, Karen at The Sweetest Thing had to cancel this weeks challenge. I am bummed because I enjoy them so much. No worries, I am certain next weeks sketch will be spectacular. I did however notice that Samantha at Scrapmaster's Paradise does a weekly color combo challenge. Being a fellow demonstrator, she invites participants to create a card, scrapbook layout or other paper craft item using Stampin' Up! colors. I decided to take part in her challenges too. This will be my first submission. Wish me luck!!
This weeks challenge is .....
and here is my take.
I really enjoyed making this card. I really wanted something quick and simple and I believe it covers both criteria. I also was able to use my severely neglected Cricut to cut out the "F" and use one of the new stamp sets, Perfect Punches from our new catalog. If you would like to order the materials that I used to make this card you can do so by clicking HERE. For every $25.00 purchase, I have a free gift for you.
Stamps: Perfect Punches
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Crumb Cake, Certainly Celery, Soft Suade and Sweet Pea DSP (scrap - love that!)
Accessories: Certainly Celery 1/4 grosgrain ribbon, Cricut
Be Blessed and Happy Sunday.
