Hello Stampers~
Sorry it has been a week since posted...
I have been busy making fall cards and hinged cards. I am so excited to show you both cards, however my camera is DEAD!!!! That is what happens when you have a 13 year old who LOVES to take pictures of herself and her friends...JUST FOR FUN!!!!
So today I am going to show you 2 items that I made for a Trick or Treat swap on SCS. I hope you enjoy.

Sorry the pics are so blurry. Not sure why!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. And I hope you found time to make something for yourself!

I will see you tomorrow with the hinged and fall cards. See you then!!

Stampin Blessings,

Michele

Hello Stampers!
I am still here. I am so sorry that I have not posted in a couple of weeks. Things have been crazy.
My grandmother has become bed ridden and does not communicate with me anymore. So I have been trying to emotionally cope with that this last week. I have also been organizing closets, and rooms the last week just to stay busy. So I apologize for not being more consistent in posting---HOWEVER, Lord willing I will have some fall cards to show you tonight or tomorrow that I have been working on for a swap.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY AND YOU ARE BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE!!!

Everyone take care and remember to make something for yourself and to tell someone special that you LOVE them.

See You All Soon!!!!
Blessings til next time...

Hello Stampers,
I hope this finds you having a GREAT day and I hope everyone had a Great Easter Weekend.
We have had some good days here. My grandmother is having a good day today. Allie is on spring break so we have been cleaning out closets, and she has been cleaning her room (very slowly).
I wanted to share a picture of her that I took on Easter Morning on her way to church with friends. She is my baby that has grown up to a beautiful young lady...

I took this pic in front of our neighbors house due to their beautiful flowers. This is also the same outfit that she will where to my sisters wedding next weekend. My pretty little girl!! I love her so!
Okay---now to cards. Here are some cards that I made for a Mother's Day Swap that I am doing. This is the one that I am sending into the swap. I think it turned out so cute!

This card is is the same, just with different ribbon...due to using a whole roll of the SAB certainly celery ribbon. I made extra Mother's Day Cards for my mom and a few friends that I send Mothers day cards to.

Recipe for Mother's Day Cards (all supplies SU)
Stamps: Blooming with Love
Cardstock: almost amethyst, barely banana, pretty in pink
Designer Paper: tea party
Ribbon: certainly celery (SAB catalog)
Markers: certainly celery, pretty in pink, green galore,

Hello Stampers!
I hope this finds all of you having a Happy Easter!
I wanted to show you want I have been working on this week. I have had so much fun making this baskets. I got the pattern from here at http://stampinalabama.blogspot.com

Here is a basket that I have candy and eggs in for a friend.

Here is a pic of three different ones I made. I used the DP from the SAB catalog. I made a total of nine. I think they are as cute as can be.

Also this week I joined a RSVP pen swap. Here are the two pens I made for the swap. I add a tag to the pens to label.

Recipe: (pen on left)

DP: pink flamingo (SU)

ribbon: turquoise ribbon (SU)
Recipe: (pen on right)

DP: paper from Hobby Lobby
Ribbon: pink ribbon from Michael's

To place the DP inside the pen, cut the paper to 2w x 31/4L. Roll it around the ink barrel and slide the paper and the ink pen back inside the holder and place the bottom back on your pen. Tie ribbon around the pen top. Now your pen is complete. This makes a great quick gift.

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter and I will see you soon! Remember to make something special for yourself!

Happy Stampin and Blessings til next time!

Hello Stampers,
I am sad to say that I do not have anything to show you today. I have accomplished alot, I just forgot to take a picture of them before I gave them away. In about 4-5 hours I made a baby door hanger (babies sleeping), 2 8x8 scrapbooks, 2 gift bags and 2 cards for the youth pastor and his wife at our church. They had twin boys in February, and I am ashamed to say that I am just now getting their gift to them. I am so proud of the door hanger that I made, it was so pretty!
Now I just have a huge mess to clean up and see what my next project will be.

I did finish my Easter cards!!! This is the first time in years that I have finished my cards a day or two before the holiday. I also made the little chick images for some swaps that I am doing.
I guess once I get my mess cleaned up I will make some graduation cards and mothers day cards.

I hope yall are having a Great Evening. Remember to make time for yourself and make something pretty for yourself!

Blessing til next time!
Happy Stampin,

Michele

If you had a birthday in February I pray that it was as blessed as mine!!

I also wanted to let yall know if you are wanting to see a cute, funny movie that your daughters could see (mine will be 13 in 18 days---she is counting it down) and my nanny saw it too, it was Confessions of a Shopaholic. We all loved it.

And I have also been cleaning due to not doing it in a few days...so now I am off to STAMP AND CREATE!!!! I will see you later this evening with something fun!

Okay- I will stop boring you all with my crazy weekend. I hope you all had a GREAT Weekend!!!

Hello All,
I hope you all had a good day! I had a great day. My friend Wendy and I took a short road trip to Gadsden to a scrapbooking store. We had so much fun. To those of you that do not know, I have a dream to one day open Scraps & Stamps. Today, going to this store made my passion and desire of owning a store closer to surface. I do believe it will come true one day-"God can DO ANYTHING you know FAR more than I could ever IMAGINE!!!!" So I am leaving it in His Hands and allowing His WILL to be done! We had a GREAT time and now we are trying to think of ways that we can boost Wendy's Stampin UP business. Then...
came home, started supper, worried about daughter being in lock down at school due to a tornado warning, husband in carpool line...waiting...., Nanny wanting to walk around with a knife to eat an apple (see the end of this post), listening and watching the tv to see where the weather was going. Got supper served, Nanny and daughter to bed...husband and I are watching a movie and I am making cards for the "Male" Swap that I am doing on Splitcoasters and creating this blog. So here are the cards that I made...

Recipe: (all supplies SU unless noted)
cardstock: real red, so saffron (lf), summer sun (rt),
white(HL)
inks: image in stazon, words in basic black
ribbon: real red
misc: mini clips(HL)

For those of you who I have not met in person or on other blogs I just wanted to let you know that my family (husband, daughter and I) live with my grandmother and we her caretakers. She has parkinsons and beginning stages of alzheimer's, so I have to tell you that this blog and the items you see that I make are my therapy. Some days there is just no telling what might happen around here...today was one of those days with her wanting an apple in the middle of a tornado warning. So I look at it this way my husband is saving alot of money!!
Thanks for sticking with me today through my long post. I hope you enjoyed it.
Happy scrapn and stampn til next time!

Blessings,
Michele

Hello to All you Bloggers out there....I am coming to you for the first in blog history.

My dear friend Wendy from Stampin Alabama, has started this blog for me and now hopefully she will be able to teach me how to add things. My husband is educating himself on how blogging works. So he handed me the computer and said make your first post. So here goes nothing...

I want to wish everyone a Happy February! I am glad that January is over. It was a very stressful month at my house. I am certainly praying for a better February. The one thing in Februarythat I am looking forward to is my birthday!! I love birthdays...I think everyone should be treated extra special on THEIR "SPECIAL" DAY!

Today I am showing you a card I made for a Valentine swap I did over on Splitcoasters (SCS). If you have never checked it out you must--the address is http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ (just a warning it is very addicting). I am involved in many swaps over there and I am having a blast.

Sorry back to the card...I just love this simple little card because when you give it to your friend, special someone, or child they are getting a treat....GUM!!!

I want to thank everyone for stopping by. I look forward to our adventure together.

Stampin Blessings,
Michele
PS: Thank you for being patient with me while Wendy and Richard help me get some computer knowledge.
