Saturday Cards

Yeah it's Saturday again! Time to scrap! It's been really busy at the hospital this week so I am more than ready for some time away! Today I have a few cards to start off with for this week. I got this done a couple of days ago but couldn't put together any time to get it up and posted. This is the CPS sketch this week. I pulled out the Core'dinations Core Amour for this card and used one of my Unity stamps for the center sentiment. My dancing daughter will like this one.




Next if the first of my weekly Design Team cards. This is my card for The Sweet Stop's sketch this week. For this I used papers from one of Noel Mignon's kits for most of the card, Core'dinations cardstock and the image is Faith's.

The last card is for my card this week at Unscripted Sketches using this sketch. I used some papers from a Noel Mignon kit once again. ( I am going to get through all these kits I have backed up here!)
As always thanks for stopping by - your comments mean alot!

Sunday Sharing

WOW this was supposed to be a long three day weekend but it flew by! I had to do something on Friday that ended up taking most all day, then yesterday we took my son in to but a few things - shoes, undies, and of course that lead to a few clothes too! Then today I started on my marathon cleaning spree. Spent TWO, yes TWO, long hours cleaning my bathroom. Makes me wonder what I was doing when I planned this house - there all all kinds of corner, niches, etc, that collect dirt and dust. This was a down and dirty, tooth brush cleaning, scrubbing and ended up scrubbing the floor the same way. BUT it's done! Move on to another room next. Starting off the Sunday line-up (well needless to say I DID squeeze some scrap time in!), is another card from Faith's gorgeous Pink collection at Designed 2 Delight
Then Core'dinations has been calling my name lately and since we have so many new wonderful collections this year to play with I did just that. The first layout is from the Graphic 45 collection together with Graphic 45 Christmas collection. The adorable little guy is my greatnephew, Brayden, our own little miracle baby who is currently ready to celebrate this 4th Christmas after having been through 3 open-heart procedures as well as celebrating his new little brother this year.


This page is from the Jenni Bowlin collection of papers using some of the Imaginisce papers and goodies we were given to show. These little cuties are my great-nieces, Hailey and Katy.


Then for pure play here's my card for The Get Sketchy sketch this week. Using some Echo Park here on this one.
Thanks once again for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful week!

Breast Cancer Awareness Day

I'm doing this today is memory of my sister's best friend, Ellen, who we all dearly loved for many many years and who courageously battle breast cancer and beat it until last year when we had to say goodbye. Also for my two brave fellow-employees ( co-worker and boss) who have conkered Breast Cancer.

Over at Unscripted Sketches the girls have really rocked an image we were provided as well as the entire "Pink" concept with their cards. We have a little blog hop going on and I encourage you to stop by each one and leave a little love. All us girls could use a little love today - we never really know which one of us will be next. Please be sure to get your mamograms and do them each and every year. It's your life!

From here you need to jump on over to Angy's blog.

Here's my card for the sketch over at The Sweet Stop this week. For this I used an adorable little image I got and papers from a Noel Mignon Christmas kit.



This is my card that I did for the gorgeous image that Faith over at Designed 2 Delight has given us to use in light of Breast Cancer awareness. I love this image!! Papers and all goodies are from another Noel Mignon kit.


Thanks so much for stopping by and hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I intend to get some cards and layouts out this weekend as well as clean my filthy house!

Sunday cards!

Hate knowing I have to go back to work tomorrow - three day weekends should be the norm! Just not quite ready! Sharing some cards today. First I have two new images from Designed to Delight. Faith has just been outdoing herself lately on these lovely digital images!




Next I have a card I created with a Lily of the Valley stamp and did for the fall card challenge that's going on there this week. Lots of goodies from a Noel Mignon kit here.

Then I did this card for the sketch over at Get Sketchy this week. More goodies from a Noel Mignon kit here yet again - I AM going to get through all these kits I bought! The stamps are from a Recollections set I bought the other day. Bunch of cute stamps in this double pack!
Thanks again for stopping by - hope to keep creating this week but will see how it goes!

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.
