My Birthday Girl

I haven't posted in a long time!!!!! YIKES! I have been very busy organizing my craft area. One of my friends has gotten me addicted to actually organizing my stuff! YEAY! So I have challenged myself to 52 weeks of organizing my home. I have been stamping and scrapbooking for over 11 years and the amount of supplies that I have would take a fairly good amount of time to go through and organize. That would get old real quick and I would probably not get it done. So, to stay on a roll, I have decided to do 1/2 week dedicated to my craft room and the other 1/2 to a different area of my home. The scraprack website has a great guide on where to start organizing.

After going through all of my paper, as I was organizing it, I realized that I should really NEVER be allowed to purchase paper ever, ever again. Fortunately I have only found a handful of paper I really do not like, so I have a lot of work ahead of me to use up the rest! I have been working very hard on cards in between organizing. I will be posting my cards over the next few days. 

This is the card I made my daughter for her 10th Birthday. I really love Stamping Bella stamps. I hope that you like this card. I had a lot of fun making it.

Missing You

This card is my latest. I have been really bummin’ because my kids are back in school, my husband left for a BSNS trip and I feel like the summer flew by way too quickly. I decided to use creativity to try to get out of my emotional gloom.


I have really been in love with the Stamping Bella Stamps lately. I used Splitcoast Stampers SC297 challenge to get started. I made the 'Missing You' background in WORD. {I don't know why it took me 11 years to think of doing that. } I have done it with sentiments...especially when I like the verse, but not the font. I also used Little Yellow Bicycle and Stampin’ Up Card stock/DP. The stamp is Stamping Bella's APTEE-tude.

I have not posted in a LONG while, but I am going to try to get caught up over the fall. Enjoy!
