Happy Place

Hello from Memphis, TN.  This week I'm here for a couple days of meetings.   Looking forward to seeing some team mates I haven't seen in a while and hearing about some new processes we have coming soon!  It's all good.    This sentiment seemed so appropriate for this week as I'm really trying to pay attention that life is good right now and to enjoy it.   This cute card was from some Basic Grey paper that was PIF'd to me and I wanted to use it for a last "Hooray to Summer".   I cased this card from a "favorite" over at sb.com.   I hope you are enjoying a "happy place" this week.   Enjoy!

Happy Place

well ... since the paper was still laying on the desk,  I decided to do this week's Friends That Scrap Card Sketch with the Authentique paper I had out.   I'm not sure why this paper was marked for quick sale at PC's but I really thought the colors were cute and I'm glad I'm using it and it's not just sitting collecting dust ... LOL.  I used my CTMH Artiste Cricut Cart to cut the bird & leaves.

Happy NEW Year!

Today is my first post for 2012 and it's very fitting because it's for our SCS Crafty Girls Blogging Group.   The 5th of every month we do a Blog Hop together.   You'll want to check out all the gals Blogs listed on the right side of this page for some fun cards, items and pages today!!

Our theme for this was was "New".   What a FUN theme for January, a new year and the start of a new season (at least here in Ohio, Winter has come!).     It wasn't too hard for me to come up with a project for this theme as last week I spent in Florida with my Sis and her family.   My Sister had a baby last Wednesday!   Sarah Elizabeth is my first niece and she's ADORABLE! 

Yup, cute hunh?   Auntie Lela was all too willing to snuggle with her during my visit.    Of course,  I wanted to get some scrap pages done of her but trying to select just a few of the over 200 pictures I took while I was there proved to be more challenging than I expected so tonight I got out the baby stamps and put them to good use for some cards.   There are some other friends having babies soon and hopefully if it's a girl,  I have a card ready.   As you can imagine,   I have "pink" on the brain these days so of course,  I chose pink.

The sketch is from this week's Card Pattern's Sketch #146.  I used all SU! this week.  

Don't forget to check out the rest of our Crafty Girls Blog Hop by checking out the blogs listed on the right side of the page!   I'm sure I'll have more "NEW" baby cards and pages to show off soon.    Enjoy!

to you from me

Have you ever had one of those days where all the cute cards in your head just didn't come out on paper like you were imagining they looked?  LOL!   Well today is one of those days!   I was actually trying to get my Christmas Cards done and they just weren't looking the way I wanted.  I decided to take a break and play with the Mojo Monday #214 to make sure I had my card done for that this week as it's a contest week.  Wouldn't that be fun to win some Verve stamps to play with :)    I also wanted to get my card done for the Perfect Sentiments #06 challenge by doing an "all occasion" card.   I had been browsing through the SU! Catalog last night and remembered that a sweet friend of mine had PIF'd me some of these cute owls!  I wanted to use them to make a card for her as she's going through a rough life moment and I just want to send her some happy thoughts.   This all came together and I love it!   Now if only my Christmas Cards were coming along this cute ... back at it!   Supplies:  SU!
