Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #53

Hi there! :D I can't believe it's Thursday already...where does the time go?!?! I've been trying to get over a cold for the past week and the last two nights I've been able to sleep through the night without coughing so I think the worst is over! I've been pretty productive at work this week and I'm starting to be able to see my desk again! Ever been that busy where you think there's no way you're gonna catch up?!?! Well I'm glad to say that I'm catching up and it feels super duper good! LOL!!! :D

Here's my card for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge. I am super proud as this is an all CTMH card....love it when I do that! :D When this Perfect Day paper came out I wasn't too sure about it...but it's really starting to grow on me...I love these colors together!!! And do you see the stitching?!?! Well I finally put my new Janome Sew Mini to work and I think I did an OK job. I was worried since this is the first time for me to sew ANYTHING, but I think it came out fine! :D Well that's it for me today. I'm having a card class tomorrow so I'll be finishing my last card for the class and cutting paper tonight. Take Care ~ Jenn

Bella Sketch Challenge #65

Hi there! Wow...it feels like forever since I have crafted and last night I decided to do something about it. I just received my Bella order and I've been dying to use the new stamps that I purchased. I love this little Lovey Huggabug stamp...so super adorable!!! And I wasn't sure what I was gonna make, but I did know I wanted to use my new dp...cute huh?!?!?! It's called Splendid by Michelle Coleman and I used Lovey Dovey, Queen of Hearts and Sophisticated from the line. I also needed a sketch to do so I decided on Bella sketch challenge #65.

I stamped this super cute Huggabug with Memento Tuxedo Black. Now this is the first time I have used this ink...I usually use Brilliance. But I really, really liked Memento and I think it's my new favorite! :D One thing I like about it is that it doesn't take forever to dry. Well sorry this post is short, but I've got to finish getting ready for work.

Thanks for stopping by! :D ~ Jenn

Update...

Hey there...hope everyone's Monday is going well. Unfortunately today is not a holiday for me so I'm stuck at work today. Work has been pretty stressful the last few weeks...I just hope it gets better soon!!! Well I still haven't had time to clean off my stamp table and work on anything yet...but I do hope to get something done while my husband is away this week. But I won't be able to post anything till Saturday since my husband took my camera with him. He left for Ireland on Saturday for work and I miss him already...can't wait to see him on Friday!!! :D

Well I just wanted to let you know that I'm still here and I hope to get back to blogging and creating soon...I really miss it. I'll be cleaning house and getting things ready for some house guests on Friday but other than that I hope to enjoy the peace and quiet in my house till my hubby returns!!! LOL!!! :D

Well it's been a while...

Hey there...Happy New Year! :D I hope each and every one of you had Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Ours was great and I was so not ready to come back to work when it was all done.

My husband and I were on vacation the week after Christmas and let me tell ya...we did absolutely nothing. I haven't even stamped one thing since my last post...isn't that crazy?!?! Well I've missed it terribly so I hope to get my table clean and organized this weekend so I can start creating!!! :D I got the "Janome Sew Mini" for Christmas and I can't wait to use it. I have no idea how to even work it...but I think I can figure it out, plus I plan to look at some of Jody Morrow's tutorials...Sew You Want To Sew?

Well if I haven't been stamping then what have I been doing?!?! Well I got the Twilight book as a stocking stuffer and I wasn't sure how I would like it, but I LOVED IT!!!! : D It was all I could do to finish reading so I could go watch the movie...and it surely didn't disappoint. I immediately went and got the second book "New Moon" and finished it within two days...and right now I'm on the third book "Eclipse". So this is where most of might time has been spent....crazy huh?!?! LOL!!! :D

Well I hope you all haven't given up on me posting...I hope to get back in the swing of things real soon!!! :D Take care and hope you have a fabulous weekend!!! See ya' soon! :D

We had a great time in San Antonio. It's always so nice to get away for a few days...much needed! :D It's been a busy week though, trying to get everything ready for Christmas and I still have so much I want to do. I still have NOT finished all my shopping and I really want to get in the kitchen and bake some goodies!!! :D Plus work has been really busy...I'm taking my vacation the week after Christmas so I've been super busy trying to get everything done before I leave...it's crazy!!! LOL!!! :D Well enough about me...it's time to get to what you really came for! Today is Prettie Thursday here on my blog and boy do I have a cutie for you.

I made this card for the last Stampin in your Jammies Party over at Paper Pretties!!! One of the challenges was to make a card or project for a child...so I made this card for my niece. Isn't Snowflake the cutest?!?! I paper pieced his hat with some of my Aspen paper and outlined the snow with my copic marker. Paper Pretties just released this stamps set in rubbah so head on over there and check it out...It's called Snowflake Kisses. Well that's it for me today, I've got another busy day ahead so better get to it! :D Thanks so much for stopping by and have a Fabulous Thursday!!!
