Design Team Saturday cards!

After a stressful week I finally made the decision to put off my CNRN test until the spring. It cost to delay it but I want to get this first one retaken and passed before I start on another one - think it will give me a better attitude and won't be quite so stressful. I literally have a stack of papers a foot high for the second test and getting through that by the end of this month was overwhelming. I felt better the minute I made the decision. Now I'm reviewing and studying to get this first one out of the way. Plus I have some surgery planned for the first of November and don't want all this hanging over me. But on to more exciting things!

First of all today I have my card for Unscripted Sketches. Used some Core'dinations and embossed it with the snowflake embossing plate and then also used a piece of the Jenni Bowlin collection. The stamp is one I got from C.C. Designs. Then I added some sparkly fluff and some glitter from Martha Stewart to pop her image.


Next I have my card for The Sweet Stop this week. For this I used one of the images from their store and then some papers and goodies from my last year's Halloween Noel Mignon kit.


Oh and then I finally finished my card for CPS this week. Used some Scenic Route for this together with this cute stamp byMotivet.


I plan to have more tomorrow to show and will try to post again. Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Sharing!

Ok my friend at work was upset because I only posted two cards last week (well had a REALLY good excuse - was driving Brandy to LA!) so today I wanted to make up for it. First of all I have a card I did with one of the adorable images from Designed 2 Delight that Faith created. I used some Core'dinations Black Magic on this and a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The papers and tag are from another Noel Mignon kit.


The next card is for the Card Patterns sketch this week - pulled out some Basic Grey for this one and a Unity stamp. Added some Queen & Co. beading.




The last card is for Lily of the Valley challenge blog and of course I used a Lily of the Valley stamp on this. The papers are all from the Noel Mignon kit.


Thanks for stopping by - now off to play with some Core'dinations papers - so many new goodies and never enough time to play with them.1

World Card Making Day

Well it's World Card Making Day! Guess what I'm going to be doing????? But unfortunately may not be able to share alot because I have to catch up on DT work and it won't be shown for a week or two. Took my baby girl to LA - WAS unbelievably hard for me to leave her - wanted to stay and help her get used to being away from home and family but could only stay for a few days and help her get settled and get signed up for dance classes. Now she LOVES her classes but the being away from home and family and friends - not so much. THEN I came home and took my CCRN exam today and missed out by 2 POINTS!!!!! So to the tune of more money I will have to re-take but have another exam for another certification at the end of this month so will have to study for it first. They just give random tests so I could just have easily taken another one and done just fine - grrrr - totally ruined MY day!
Today I am sharing my card for The Sweet Stop first. Used papers and goodies from the Noel Mignon kit from last year that I'm using for all my cards this year.

The second card is for my card for Unscripted Sketches this week. More goodies from my Noel Mignon kit again here!
Thanks for stopping by - your comments make my day! Hope to have more goodies before the weekend is out. Guess you have seen all the new papers that Core'dinations has come out with - check some of my older posts for some layouts I have done with them. There just aren't enough hours in the day to play with all the papers I have from them and all their fabulous new collections. Check out the bog to see what all the DT has done with the new Stacy Julian collection.

Wednesday and Core'dinations!

Want to share with you one of the new lines of cardstock that Core'dinations has in store for you. Core'dinations together with Stacy Julian has prepared this fabulous bright, fun, new collection of cardstock. You can sand a word, letter or the entire page to create whatever you want. Here's a layout I did with the papers - oh forgot to say - not only do you get the words but you also get another sheet of the same color with the dots. Pop on over to the Core'dinations blog to check out other inspiration from the rest of the Design Team - they have rocked this collection for sure!






Thanks again for stopping by - I'm sure I will have more projects with this collection for you over the weekend.

Saturday Cards

Well first of all I'm hoping this really posts - had to pre-date it and it doesn't always work the way I want. I'm out in California now if everything has worked out as planned. I'm actually writing this Wednesday evening because we leave at 3 am tomorrow. I'm driving my daughter to California where she plans to move and try to make a career in dance. Sniff, sniff, this is REALLY REALLY hard! She's been my bestest of friends for 21 years now and I'm going to miss her horribly and be so jealous that I can't be there to watch her dance. In 18 years of dance I've never missed but one performance.
But today here's some cards! First for the sketch over at Unscripted Sketches. For this I used some of the Core'dination Amour line - isn't it yummy!






The next is for The Sweet Stop. More Core'dinations here and one of my new Lily of the Valley stamps - love this stamp!
Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday - 2nd post!!!

Yeah supposed to be studying but can't seem to stay away from my scrapbook goodies (guess I could move out of here to start with!) But had to do these two card sketches - they were just calling me. First is the sketch over at CPS today. For these I used a C.C.Design stamp I forgot I had until I was digging through there earlier this weekend. The papers are all from last year's Noel Mignon kit. Oh and the other stamp is from a new packet I got at Micheal's of Recollections stamps. I'm still working on the 5,000 Christmas cards I have to do for office and friends so bear with me. I do have other paper and I know I won't be able to stand much more of the Christmas papers so I'm riding it while I can find inspiration.





The next card is from the Card Patterns sketch. For this I pulled some more of my new Graphic 45 paper and Cardstock by Core'dinations. YUM!

Thanks again for stopping by!
