Hello!  Hows everybody doing???  I’m home for my lunch break and I wanted to just post this and share my newest creation with you.  Isn’t this airplaine just freakin’ cute????

That airplaine stamp is from the Sept KOTM from Unity.  I used some yellow zing on the Hero Arts Background image.  The Navy blue cardstock is from SU and that matching ribbon is from Offray.  I’m so loving that Navy Blue color.  I have got to buy more!!!

BTW eeek I got picked as one of the top 6 for Embellish Magazines What’s hot Challenge I sent in this Owl Card.   Check out the others that got picked…they are so awesome too.

Ok gotta go now peace out!!!

Today I’m Grateful for:  Vegetarian Lasagna for lunch….I made it last night and it only has 300 calories!!!

Hello!!!  Happy Friday the 13th!!  Anybody out there dislike this day?  I guess i just treat this like any other day..maybe i like it more because its a Friday I dont know.  So I’m still here in Jacksonville.  But this is my last day here and we are heading out this afternoon to go back home to hot and humid Sarasota.  I’m crossing my fingers its cold there right now like it is up here.  I’m loving it so much.

Last night was fun…. got to hang out with everyone and we ate at a seafood place.  I forgot the name… but it was awesome.  I always like the last night out of town because its when everyone lets their hair down and just enjoy each others company.  Like I told my GM (who was wearing jeans…rather than his usually dress pants)…. he looked human.  Hahahahah!!  He got a good laugh out of that.  It’s also pretty cool how we all just talk normal….different from the usual corporate demeanor.  Anybody else out there work for Corporate America like I do?  Do you feel the same way??   I also love the bonding time I get to have with my team…face to face rather than over the phone.  We’re pretty lucky that our department gets to see each other at least twice a year.

Anywhoo…. ok about my card.  Tricia if you are reading this…. this is what you are going to get in the mail as soon as I get back.  Sorry it’s not a surprise anymore.  But I just had to share it.  Trust me it will be better in person.  On this card I used a hero arts background stamp and PTI’s new giga basics.  Finally i got to use a Christmas gift from Julie last year.  My Martha Stewart glitter.  I have the 30 pack.  i think it came out great and the image wasn’t compromised at all.  The glue pad is awesome!!!

A little background about Tricia.  She is a newly wed, a fellow blogger friend and a friend.  Love her to death.  We have so much in common.  Check out her blog HERE.  On my sidebar you can find her under Tricia Blanco.  She is an awesome cardmaker and scrapbooker too!!!

Talk to you all soon!!!  Have an awesome day!!

Mwah,

Today I’m Grateful for:  the last night out of town with my team and the rest of my coworkers across our region.  good times…good memories  I’m thankful I got to know you all better!!!

Hey I’m back!!!  I love Charleston!!  Ever been?  I could move there in a heartbeat.  The city is just so beautiful and I love the History behind it. I love the plantation style homes, shutters, brick streets, shrimp and grits, she crab soup, young people everywhere……Oh and the FOOD!!!  Let me tell yah i had the best macaroni and cheese at CRU.  Everything on their menu was reasonably priced.  Check them out HERE.  Please please go there if you ever visit the city.  It’s so worth it.  Ask for the chefs table!!!  Anywhoo…..I was there mostly for work and I stayed with a co-worker/awesome friend Alessandra.  I got to see my good friend Bridget too and an old co-worker Carol.  I miss you guys already.

BTW I met a girl at Taco Boy a local restaurant and bar there…who’s moving to Sarasota in a month or two.  Random!!!!  I look forward to her moving here.  Yes more youngins are needed in my hood.

I made these cards for Bridget and Allie.  I can’t take any credit for the design of this card because I lifted it from Nichole Heady.  My apologies…. I have no clue when she posted it.  I wanted to make a set of cards to bring with me that wasnt too overly complicated.  It wasn’t at all.  I love the vintage cream ink …. the image came out so crisp.

I still lack sleep…. so Chokr . . . OUT!!!!  Talk to you guys soon

Hello!!  I finally got to do some crafting yesterday.  I had a list of things I wanted to do and so far I got 50% of them done.  So this is my entry for the “Embellish the Cure” Challenge.  I absolutely loved this challenge.  I love the colors, the bling…it was just so fabulous!!

So lately I’ve been addicted to making my own embellishments.  For this one I used the Sizzix circle die cut to cut out the felt circles.  But it need some dimensions.  So I cut a slit on the circle and curled it over till it had a slight cone shape to it. Then I just added some rhinestone “bling” on the center.  I also finally got to  use my new Giga Guidelines stamp and embossed on the pink pirouette cardstock.  I found this to be slightly difficult . . .I couldn’t really see the image that good because I was using versa mark.  I wish it came with a giga grid too.  Nonetheless I still love how huge they are.

Lots of pictures below….gotta go for now and get some stuff done today.  I still have 2 more challenges to work.  Hope you guys are having a good weekend so far.

Mwah,

Hello there!! This is my submission to Ms. Emma’s 1st challenge.  I know I missed the deadline but I just had to do one anyway.  I hope she likes what I made.  I’m pretty much doing this so I can get a virtual hug from this cute little girl.  Haha!

Thank you all for checkin’ out my new home and thank you for adding me to your readers.  I have no clue how I would survive without out one.  My apologies for not being able to comment back personally.  I’m a guardian to an almost teenager here and I’m still trying to find my way through wordpress and all of the plugins for this thing.  I’m also trying to figure out the whole flikr or photobucket to wordpress thing.  Maybe tomorrow I’ll get there.

By the way this is my friend Sierra’s submission.  She had to make one too.

I’m off to bed now.  I have to wake up early to cook breakfast for friends.  Fritata and Cinnamon Buns are on the menu!!
