Stickles Are Out, At You Spica Glitter Pens from COPIC Are In!

These pens ROCK! They contain micro glass flakes that add a shimmery sparkle to your paper! They have twice the writing length of other pens, 360 yds! I guess that's a lot?! One thing to know....you MUST store them horizontally, not vertically or they will die! If you don't want to fool with glitter glue, this is the toy for you! I no longer leave home without mine. They come in many colors but I find that the clear one is the one you can't go wrong with. I'm entertaining a black one for my Cat's PJ's stamps and for my Vegas bunny! I bought mine from Ellen Hutson's website but A Muse Artstamps has them for sale too! I'm not sure that you can see the sparkle in this card but I posted it just in case! It FLOORED ME!

I Like It A Latte!

I've been busy making some thank you cards for a 'customer'! I am so excited about this card.....I really like the way it turned out. I hope everyone is staying warm out there with a cup of coffee or cocoa!

Bee Mine!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted....I'm working on Valentine cards today. I borrowed this bee stamp from my friend and I have to say I WANT IT! Thanks for looking!

January Calendar Card

Here's the card I made for Momma's crowd....I love the new punch I bought from Stampin' Up that creates the 'notebook paper' look!

Freezing Temps!

Baby it's COLD outside! Stay warm out there!

Another Thanksgiving Card

Here's the Thanksgiving card I made for my mom's crew.....enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you gobble 'till you wobble!

How Does Your Card Collection Grow?

I made these cards for my aunt and made a few extra to keep for friends/family. I really needed some misc backstock for my card box! Enjoy!

They Say It's Your Birthday!

Whew! There sure were a lot of Oct birthdays this year! I really love sending birthday cards to people but I detest the way mine turn out. Alas, I was happy this month with what I was able to create. I liked the dinosaur one sooooo much a few of you got him! I hope you enjoyed your card!

I had a vision last night for a birthday card someone ordered...it's a combo of an idea by A Muse and Julie Ebersole with my own additions and flair. I really love the new SU Soft Sky paper...it's subtle but there's just enough blue and you can still color things and they'll show their true color! I used mini scalloped scissors for the grass. I then turned the scissors over and made water waves for the pirate ship and did a get well card for someone. What are you crafting up?

FORE!

I haven't 'scrapbooked' a card in ages....a few of my co-workers needed some golf cards so I decided to use an idea a friend in my stamp club used. She tore her paper but I decided to use mini scalloped scissors on mine, a trick I recently saw on a website. I forgot to paint a white ball on the green so I'll do that before I give them to the 'customer'! Enjoy!

Shop, Eat, Laugh, REPEAT!

Well, I went to my first stamping convention in Greenville, SC this weekend. Boy did I spend money and have a great time with a great bunch of ladies! We laughed a lot, we ate a lot more, and we shopped our brains out on Friday, then we did it again on Saturday AND Sunday! Above are my highlights and to the left is an album of all of my friends and our adventures! I bought 54 misc and 41 holiday stamps and some cards and paper and misc embellishments! I'm OUT OF CONTROL! I haven't even added up the receipts! I also visited Hobby Lobby for the first time so that was a treat. I even made a card at the convention that looks cream in real life but the scanner wouldn't cooperate! Enjoy the pictures!

More Cards!

I've been a card fool this weekend...Saturday was Stamp Club and I stayed inside today (out of the 100 + degree weather) to create stuff! Here are some new goodies!

Double Snuggle

My friend, Lisa Black, had twins last year. Her husband served with my husband in Iraq. She and I became friends and she still sends me the greatest pictures of her adorable kids! I asked her to send me this picture of the twins as it's just about HILARIOUS! I just got around to scrappin' it today. Aren't they cute? No, he's not blinking....he's really asleep! Boy/man layouts are so hard to do....I have to keep myselft from frillying them up! This is only the second subject I've scrapped for our 2006 book. I'm so far behind. Thank goodness for D-ring scrapbooks!

Misc Cards

Here are a few cards I've completed (I made them at Stamp Club but didn't finish them until I got home). Pirate card is for George's dad (got hurt on his motorcycle), Frog card is for my HUNNY, and Thank You card is for a family friend that went with my mom to her doctor's appointment in Savannah yesterday.

Student Therapists

Here are 2 cards I've made for our Student OTA and our Student PT that are finishing up their clinicals with us....good luck Gregory and Autumn!

Co-Workers Rock!

It's been a world of staffing changes at work since January...I have had a lot of co-workers to pitch in and help me while I was looking for the right person to come and join us. Here's what I gave them to thank them for all their help. I also made them a thank you card each containing their favorite color and the initial "T" for thanks. Thanks girls!
