This is the next page of the planner. I stapled about 5 'wishlists' together, these are so fun to make. I am giving this one to my boyfriends mom with her halloween goodies. I know its kind of early for a christmas planner, but I realized today that there are only 66 days left for christmas shopping. SO.... maybe its NOT too early. These are fun to make. The little saying in the scalloped frame says "Naughty or Nice?" I love that stamp!



This is what my planner looks like when you open the cover. The calendar I stamped the "santa" on it as it is a countdown to christmas calendar. The next page is the receipts page. These are fun to make. I also used the snow flurries on the "Do not open until Dec. 25th" stamp, with stickles in the middle for a little sparkle.



I had to try making one of the christmas planners that everyone is making. This is the cover. I used the sentiment from the Merry set.



A closer look at my card for tomorrow. I used the cuttlebug on the black strip, also beyond the basics are in the lower right corner with the hearts stamp. Joannes, patterned paper, and a little ribbon for dimension. I hope he likes it.



For my sweet "sweetie" on sweetest day tomorrow. My boyfriend is a very practical kind of guy, and I thought I would surprise him with a rose tomorrow along with a card with his favorite animal from the wild about you set. I hope he likes it.

I made this for my girlfriend who is going to start doing weight watcher points with me. The bigger one is a cookbook that I made myself, from typing out the pages (thanks Nancy for helping me get the pages right :)). Staples did the binding for me, she LOVED it today when I gave it to her, the smaller book is an index card book that I recovered with matching paper to do our "journaling" in, and then the little clipboard, I put a magnet on the back so she can hang it on her fridge. SHe loved it all. The saying on the cookbook is stamped and says "Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, and Live today"....

This little guy I fell in love with yesterday when I seen him. I have been trying forever to get the stampin up penguin paradise, and no luck. This little fella is close enough. Its not the best looking card, but I kind of like it in a way. He is also pop-dotted for dimension, what would we ever do without popdots???? I also used stickles glitter stuff for the tube, and the water.



This is a stamp I found yesterday, that I had to get even if I only make one card for my boyfriend, he always says how me and him are like "peas and carrots".. so therefore, I had to get this stamp, the middle jar says "love" with a heart on it, and I stamped that twice and cut out one of them, and pop dotted it on top. It turned out cute, and he liked it as well.

I thought I would share a pic of my little baby as well. This is "Petey". He is a 'shelter hound",, the minue I seen himtho, I knew I wanted to adopt him, got him as a puppy and now he is about 6 years old.



This card I fell in love with when it was done. I made it for my boyfriend who got a really bad sunburn while doing yardwork, and seeing as he loves the little alligator, Ithought "Why not give the little alligator a sun burn as well?" SO, I q-tipped some pastels chalk on his back. Drew the suglasses, and used the 'whats cookin' from the backyard bbq set. I love it!



Made this cute fourth of july bella for my girlfriend. I love how it turned out from the cuttlebug background to the narrow red polka dotted ribbon on the navy blue paper. I really liked this one, I don't think you can notice it, but on the cuff of her jeans, I put red polka dots. Just to match the red tank top. Love bellas!!



Another one of my fave Bellas. I just love this grumpy one. I used the new stampin up colors, the wild wasabie green is her robe, and purely pomegranite is the tie, I also used liquid applique for the dots, to make it 'pop' and kinda look like chenille. It turned out ok. I also used the daisy punch from stampin up. I bought it just before it retired, and I am glad I did. Also, used my cuttlebug, just to add a little more dimension. Turned out kinda cute I think.



I HAD to purchase this set when we had the chance to. I knew I would never have enough sales to earn it, and I am so glad I bought it. I love it. This card is simple, but I still like the way it turned out. I actually sent this to a co-worker who brother died. I thought it made kind of a nice sympathy card with the "a flower for you" sentiment.



My first attempt at "card candy" I had four of my regular ladies give me their first order from the new stampin up catalog, and this is what I am giving them as a thank you. All four of them are different, I am only posting one pic. They are fun to make, but VERY VERY time-consuming, unless I am just too pokey at it. But they were fun.


I made this card for my boyfriends mom, you can't really tell in the picture, but the BOO tags are froom the cuttlebug dies. I used a triscuit box to cut them out and then put pumpkin printed paper on it, and spelled out boo with the stampin up tidy alphabet set. I LOVE the booglie eyes in the catalog. Halloween is my favorite holiday. So I have most of the halloween stamps in the book. You can't tell it, but there is blood dripping from his teeth too.....


I love these new "bellas"!!!! I have so much fun with them. This one I used stickles to make her dress glittery. I also used the twinkle wheel for the background. She sure looks like she is ready to have a good time.

I made this for a friend who is on weight watchers with me as well. I figured she heard enough about the whole program so "yadda yadda yadda" was called for. :) We are both "fond" of M&M's, so figured the shopping cart filled with M&M's was appropriate. She loved it



Love the dots and daises background. This is just a bright little cheerful card I mailed to my boyfriends mom who lives so far away. She has been stamping 14 years, and she is my role model, you should see her cards they are so gorgeous!!! (But, I keep trying)



This was a fast card I made for my mom. The butterflie stamp is from micheals dollar spot. And it is versa marked on the card. The other stamp is from fresh fillers. and I also paper pierced the pink strip, can't really tell tho.



This is a card I made with the polar pals and pines set. I loved making the bears in the pines set "polar bears".. I think it turned out kinda cute. The one polar bear is pop dotted up to create a little dimenion.

I LOVE Halloween, and wanted to make a halloween card the minute I got this BIG set. You can't tell it, but I emobossed the BIG in black, it looks cool in real life. I also used the TIDY alphabet to do the BOO .. I really like the way it turned out.

I absolutely LOVE Halloween. It is my favorite holiday, so I love making halloween cards as well. Both of these sets I just got last month, not sure how I survived so long without carved and canlelit. Love that set, and just the the spooky spider wheel as well. I can't wait to get my "Booglie eyes" wednesday and post pictures of those cards as well.



I made this card for a friend of mine, she loves chickens as much as I do, so thought it would be cute. I used the best of cluck set, stampin up tags, and buttons. The inside of it, I used navy blue and white polka dots, and then made a tiny little matchbook that closed with the slit punch, when you opened it up, it said "Just chicken in" which is the bottom of this stamp. I enjoyed making this card.
