My orders for Christmas cards have started pouring in, so I am working on a few samples…
Here are a few I got done today..rather than doing housework! haha!
Ok so this weekend Ian let me pop into Michaels… as I haven’t been scrapbook store shopping in forever… I swore to myself I would not buy any of the following : a. stamps, b. punches and c. paper. Well I ended up with 2 Martha Stewart border punches.. the drippy goo, and the icicle one. I have wanted the drippy goo for eons..and have never seen it locally, so I snagged a coupon opportunity!! So then I get home, with my new goodies..excited to play and I have lost my mojo. YIKES! HELLLLLLLLLO Mojo? Where did you go? It was gone… I think it was somewhere in the abyss of my scrapspace..so I spent all day Sunday cleaning and reorganizing, as the previous post full of pictures shows. I then sat down to create.. and well whattya know? I found my mojo… I guess it was buried under all my STUFF! I am very pleased with the outcome of my room now, and hope to keep it this clean!!! In cleaning tho, I realized I do not need ANYTHING new…for a very long long time. The only 2 things on my wish list right now are A Childs Year and Ashlynn’s Alphabet from Cricut…and for those I will have to wait til they go on sale, as 129.99 is a bit much per cartridge!
I did make a scrapbook page last night, my gf found a pic of a layout she cased, and wanted us to attempt to do it. It turned out beautiful, and it is going to be framed and added to our picture wall in my front sitting room! I will post a picture of it later today!
Today is filled with my friend Marie coming out and stamping and crafting for a bit, then I promised Zachary I would take him to the park for a while! It’s all great and happy around these parts!
I have attached a picture of me at 20 weeks pregnant for you to see…its a picture I think I will scrapbook in the near future!
The pictures say it all..I revamped and reorganized!
Here are a few of my new cards! No challenges..just cards!
Enjoy!
I made a lot of cards in the past week…here is one of them…the rest will be posted when my camera is fully charged!! 
I really like this card.. I made it for my friend Erin who is moving to Vancouver to attend Emily Carr School of Art. She loved the card, as it was totally “her” colours! I love it too!!!
Happy Scrappy Days,

WOOHOO!! 20,000 hits on my blog! It had to have happened while I was sleeping, because yesterday I was about 20 away from it! I am stoked to see so many wonderful comments, and wonderful suggestions coming my way each time I post a project. I am most appreciative of the few of those that always comment on anything I do (ahem..Lisa…that means you!)…
Much Love and be warned AWESOME blog candy coming soon!

http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ has a colour challenge of teal and red…and going with the suggestion of the DCWV green stack, I pulled it out, and used the patterned paper from there! I used my martha stewart flower punch and punched 3 flowers, and pop dotted them, then I added flourishes. I also added some red gem flowers to the card, and edged the edges with the martha stewart edged lattice punch! Almost forgot..the sentiments are from my favorite things sentiment package!
LOVE IT!
http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.com/ has a fun sketch that is posted in a post below, http://colourcreatechallenge.blogspot.com/ has the colours pink, orange and green!
Finally, http://www.dutchdare-cardchallenges.blogspot.com/ had us using lace..
So what did I do? I combined the three of them! I used DCWV Sorbet patterned paper, bazill, my cuttlebug, and the happy birthday folder, some green ink from stampin up..oval all stamp set from stampin up, the scallop oval from stampin up, THRIFT STORE LACE (That was inked to match the card! It was cream initially!) I also punched the edge of the card with a scalloped martha stewart edge punch…. and I sooooooo love this card!! I really hope you do too!! Positive feedback is welcome!!
