Swaps

Good Morning and Happy Thursday... The week is slowly coming to an end and Easter will soon be upon us. I'm very bold. I haven't started my Easter shopping yet. But I do have a list.. Saturday will be a shop till I drop day to get it all done.. Plants & bunnies oh my...

Since I was preparing 2 of the large projects for Saturday afternoon, I participated in only 2 of the optional swaps... Full Card/ No vendor requirements and In/ From the Garden. Both I choose to make card.

I just love how this card came out. The cardstock is Spring Moss from PTI, Soft Sky -SUP & DS paper from Cosmo Cricket.. The tag was cut out using my Cuttlebug & Nestabilities Die. The sentiment from PTI- Shapes by design was stamped in Spring Moss - PTI. I added a large pewter eyelet and some spring moss -SUP gingham ribbon...Now for the pictures.. These are actually pictures I took from my garden last year. I printed them in the Sepia tone and then used the square SUP punch to cut them out. Gardening is my 'simple pleasure'.. I've already started thinking about my garden this year.. I cant wait. The weather should be a bit warmer next week so I'm hoping to get out and do a little spring raking.
When I saw this card of Michelle's I instantly fell in love with it and knew I wanted to CASE it. For mine I used Very Vanilla, River Rock & Buckaboo Blue Card stock. Baroque Motifs was stamped in River rock... The flowers are the 'cosmo's punch from Martha Steward... I then adhered a few buttons as the centers.. The ribbon is from Maya Road.. How cute is that?
So did you happen to notice that this is post # 199.. that can only mean that my very next post will be # 200.. Yikes, 200 posts.. That means BLOG CANDY... Please stop by soon for to celebrate my 200th post with something sweet and fun, but no calories....
Happy Stamping..

And we had FUN FUN FUN

And our daddy didn't even have to take the T-bird away... Hey everyone.. What a fun time you missed (well most of you.. some of you were there !!) on Saturday.. We stamped and laughed and then stamped a little more... Here's a few fun pictures.. Sorry I didn't take more, I was busy making sure everyone was having a good time, putting the food together... you know, fluffing...


Krystal, Rochelle, Teresa & Donna working on their shoe box swaps..


Nancy, Michelle, Kari, Jenn and Chris working on their Shoe Box Swaps..

Jenn, Chris & Rochelle

Krystal, Kari, Donna and Michelle (it looks like Donna and Michelle are multi-tasking.. chit chatting and stamping... )

This was so much fun... There was a total of 12 of us so the group was nice and intimate, so there was lots of laughing and chatting going on... So what did you miss? Well for 1 SallyLynn and all of her expertise with Copic Markers, Ranger inks, Glimmer Mist etc... Wow Sally, you're a wealth of information and I learned sooooooooooo much...

Sneak Peak

Hi there everyone.. I've been very very busy in my stamp room preparing for our Eastern NY SCS Shoebox Swap which is Saturday ... I can't wait. So far I have my shoebox swap, the In/ From the garden swap, a Full card swap, my name tag and 2 projects completed.. I'll share a little some-tin some-tin I finished up last night..
This will be the 3rd (of 3 projects) planned for Saturday afternoon.. Unfortunately I could not find enough calendars so some will be doing calendars (which was the original project) and some will do altered note pads..

Both projects use the same ingredients so it's just a matter of personal preference which project they all choose... He'ye goes.. Soft Sky, Buckaroo Blue, Afternoon Tea (SUP DS paper) and Whisper White card stock.. The stamps are a scroll (unsure of brand, picked these up on clearance at Mikes.. I can tell you their a clear stamp) & monogram (PTI).. Both images were stamped in basic black ink. The I added a little white sheer ribbon..

My personal favorite is the calendar.. :)

Come back next week for lots and lots of pictures from Saturday.. and since I'll be hitting my 200th post, that can only mean 1 thing... A LITTLE BLOG CANDY..

Have a fabulous weekend everyone.. And Happy Stamping.. I know we all will be having a lot of fun on Saturday... :) Hugs,

Whoops.. I almost forgot to add. I had a dr's appointment yesterday. My official weight loss in just 3 short months is 59.5 lbs (over 60 as of this morning's weigh in)... Since my surgery 6 weeks ago I've lost over 26 lbs. WHOO HOO... I'm almost 1/2 way to goal.. :)

With Sympathy

My SIL is a 'fabulous' social worker at an area nursing home. She is awesome at what she does. Not just because she took such good care of my grandmother (so good that she was able to be moved to an assisted living floor) but that this is how she treats all of her residents. Last Friday she presented me with a favor. Would I make her a stack of sympathy cards to use when her residents pass away. How could I resist. This is just an example of the little extra she gives to her families...

By the way..
On Wednesday she was crowned EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR... whoop whoop... Congratulations Annie... :) I wanted to make 1 that was more masculine and 1 more feminine...

This card was made using.... Groovy Guava, Purely Pomegranate & Whisper White card stock.. Pretty Peony was stamped in Groovy Guava, Purely Pomegranate (thank you to my stamp-a-ma-jig).. and River Rock.. and the edges were distressed with River Rock. French Script was stamped in Groovy Guava. "With Sympathy" was stamped in Purely Pomegranate and again distressed with River Rock.. I added a strip of Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon for that little something extra. I (((HEART))) how this came out...

Here's my more masculine card. This I cased from my SUP catty... This card uses River Rock, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla card stock. Simple Delights were stamped in River Rock.. I stamped the "With Sympathy" in Chocolate Chip. Added a little brown ribbon and a pewter brad.. Simple yet elegant...

A little stamping with my Neice...

A few days before Valentines day we had a snow day here in upstate NY. Around 11 my DS called to say she was working from home & my niece and nephew were going stir crazy. So my niece wanted to come stamp. I quickly took a shower (you know how when you're re recuperating, a shower is one of the last things you do.. you'd have to actually get up to do that.. lol).. and we made a few valentine's gifts for her to give away. Here's what she made for her mom & dad..
The heart box is from PTI which we covered in Basic Grey Devotion DS paper. We distressed them with Colorbox Cat's Eye ink in a dark and light brown. Added a little pink grosgrain ribbon around the top and bottom and viola'.. Allie filled them with Dove chocolates.. This coming from someone who hasn't had candy since before Thanksgiving.. YUMMY...
For the matching card we used... Buckaroo Blue, Devotion DS card stock and Whisper White. The flower from Simply Said (SUP) was stamped in black stazon and then colored in red, purple, pink and green copic markers. For a little bedazzle we added stickles to a few flowers... A Valentines day card just isn't a card if it isn't bedazzled with a little glitter.. LOL For the verse, we used the Snap stamps I picked up from Ellen Hutson's store last summer. LOVE THEM when you need a little verse and you don't have one. And finally, we added a little double stitched light blue ribbon.
Not bad for a newbie (with a little help from me... :))

She's BAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKK

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.... LOL Hey everyone. I'm back. Sorry I've been MIA. I've had a couple surgery related complications. Come to find out I'm highly allergic to the little purple pill Nexium. Last week I endured a severe allergic reaction of 'full body hives'. Not fun. I was covered from head to toe. Let's just say, it's a little hard to stamp when you're in a drug induced benadryl sleep.... LOL Good news is, their gone. And I won't let one of those little purple pills anywhere near me. Hopefully that will do the trick. I soooo missed stamping, and missed all of you too... :)
Here's a little something I cased from Sharon when I was feeling a little better... I just loved the colors of this card... Don't forget to click on the photo to enlarge it so that you can see all of the details.
Here's my recipe...
Cardstock... Black, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White
Stamp set... Time Well Spent (SUP)
Ink... Black stazon... light & dark shades of pink & green copic markers, SUP black marker (to make trail behind butterflies)...
Accessories... Pink (or) White organdy ribbon, glue pen, dazzling diamonds glitter
Going through my snapfish files...(I just love this website.. http://www.snapfish.com/ (this is where I store all of my photos and when you want to print something their prices are super reasonable.. I believe they are .09 per print...) I just realized I have a few projects to show you all... So stop back tomorrow for my fun Valentine's project (a little late but what the hey... you could always use it for an anniversary... LOL)
The next few weeks I'll also be getting ready for our Eastern NY stamping get together that Teresa and I are hosting on Saturday March 15th.. I'll have some super fun projects and pic's here so hang close.. I have a little over 2 weeks to get all of my projects together.
Happy Stamping everyone. See you tomorrow :)

Baby Liam

Hellllllllllllllllooooo.... and happy Wednesday. As usual the weather here is pretty frightful. It snowed most of the night so schools are closed. DH got called into work at 5 AM so he's going to be pretty tired by the time he gets home. The good news is....... I'm feeling better. I have good days and bad day and yipee.... today is a GOOD DAY !!!!!

I love to stamp when it's snowing. It's just so peaceful in my stamp room..... So last night while the DH was getting his snowblower ready, putting his plow on the truck, checking his list and checking it twice, I snuck upstairs. A friend from work is in the process of adopting a beautiful baby boy from Kazakhstan. He is the most adorable baby boy with huge brown eye and the biggest cheeks you'd ever want to squeeze... .Part of the adoption process is that you come home for 2 weeks (after being there for 26 days bonding with your new child) and then after 2 weeks, you go and meet your child and bring him home. During the 2 weeks she's home were having a surprise baby shower for her at work. Liam is 8 months old so besides an adorable Izod outfit I wanted to make him something extra special..... So here goes...
I was never able to find out if she had decided on colors for his bedroom so I went with a pretty neutral 'boyish' pallete.... For the background paper I used Western Sky SUP DS paper. The name pieces are stacked on Ruby Red, Soft Sky and Whisper White card stock. As usual, my rub-on letters are from Wal-mart... I love how they came out. For the train, SUP Circus Train images were stamped on Whisper White card stock using black stazon and were colored in shades of blues, green, grey, maroon, olive, yellow, pink and browns using my Copic markers. The train pieces I cut out, stamped them with versa mark and then embossed them with Glassy Glaze enamel. This gives them a little extra thickness. When I applied them to the soft sky card stock I popped them up a bit using my pop up glue dots.... Now hmm... how was I going to make this whole piece look like a train? I added the antique brass eyelets to the bottom corners of each piece and then ran natural hemp twine through so they are all hooked together. For the final tough at the bottom of the page, I applied 2 large antique brass eyelets to each side of the page and ran 6 pieces of the natural hemp twine through them. It almost looks like train tracks.

Today because school is out my niece is coming over to make Valentine cards.... This should be a blast.. And the extra company for me is nice too....

Happy Stamping :)

I've been taged....

I try every day (not so much the past few weeks but in general I try everyday) to visit my favorite bloggers in my you've got to check this out. Through blogging I have met a wonderful friend Teresa. We had so much fun going to our last SCS get together and together were hosting a NE NY get together on March 15th... I was tagged by Teresa... Here goes...

*You must post the rules before you give your answers.
*You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name. Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name.
*After you've been tagged, you need to up-date your blog with your middle name and answers.
*At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name.(Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and need to read your blog for details.

M - my married name may be "Moore" but my husband's family name is actually Morinelli... In the 50's my FIL was in a band and back then if you had an ethnic last name it was difficult to get work... So he legally changed his name from Dominick Morinelli to Donald Moore... The remainder of my DH's family (aunt's, uncle's counsin's etc) are still Morinelli.

A - Auditor II for an insurance company .. is my J-O-B that pays for my stamping addiction.

R - Really good friend. I don't have a lot of close friends, but those I hold close to my heart I would do anything for.

I - I love gardening.... I plan my gardens all winter long and can't wait to watch the flowers pop through the ground each spring.

E - Eggplant parm is one of my favorite foods... But only when made by my sister's MIL... YUMMMMM it's sooooo good.

Okay, now I have to tag five people ... this is a toughie! Ok, so I can only come up with 3...

Shelley May.... She is such a thoughtful and wonderful friend who I've come to find I have a lot in common with. I love how she speaks her mind...

Alex... OMG... you have not met a more talented artist until you've met Alex. We met through SCS and actually met at the Stampin Up Atlantic City Regionals I've considered her a good friend ever since. Were there for each other and I love her dearly..

Dani... my friend from Italy... I've always wanted to go to Italy and look for my ancestors. My great grandparents on my mother's side were from Italy. May be some day this dream will come true.

Your turn... :)

Happy Wednesday.... and a little stamping

Happy Wednesday everyone. Here in the NE were bracing for a little ice, freezing rain and snow over night. Needless to say, I'll be homebound for the next few days...

Recovering has been tougher than I expected. I just can't get used to the sheer exhaustion. But from what I understand, that too will pass....

I've managed to venture up to my stamp room and have been wanting to try a little dry embossing with my cuttlebug. This idea was cased from Sharon way back in December. Here's my take on dry embossing...

I have quite a few people who have been so gracious and supportive of me through my surgery that I wanted to make some cards to send them to show my appreciation.. All cards were made with Stampers Select White Card stock by PTI and are stamped in the Palette Hybrid Noir ink.

This first card uses the flower embossing folder, light pink grosgrain ribbon (SUP) and the sentiment is from Mike's dollar bin...

These next 2 cards both use the fancy corner's embossing folders, clear bling bling and Stampin Up ribbon.. Both sentiments are from Stampin Up.

Please tell me, what techniques have you seen while surfing the blogs that you've been wanting to try but just haven't done so yet???????

I'm HOME !!!

Hey everyone.. Just a quick update..

I'M HOME !!!!

Quite sore and extremely tired.. But home. Goodness when they say you don't get any rest in the hospital they sure aren't fooling around. There's nothing worse then when you finally fall asleep to have the stupid IV pump beeping, or they come in to check your vitals, or even worse, they come in & turn the lights on to take blood at 5:30 in the morning. Isn't that something better done mid morning? YACK... But the good news is I'm home. I was very tired yesterday so I slept most of the day so may be today will be a better day. I absolutely can't wait to get up stairs and putter around. I want to make a couple thank you gifts for 3 outstanding nurses who are over worked and under appreciated and hopefully drop them off this weekend. That'll give me a reason to slowly get up those stairs... LOL I just keep telling my DH that slow and steady wins the race. Well I've had nothing in my stomach since 3 AM so I think it's time for a little broth.. 3 oz. may not seem like a lot you you but it's a whole lot for me... LOL

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. :)
Hugs,

One last project

before tomorrow.... Hey everyone... Just checking in 1 last time before the big day.. It's so funny. This surgery is something I've contemplated for about 5 years and have given serious energy since the middle of last year. So now to think that it's tomorrow afternoon.. Is just mind blowing. Thank you to each and everyone of you who have sent me well wishes. Tomorrow is the start of a whole new life for me.. and anyone who has struggled with weight issues for as long as I have knows where I'm coming from...

On a lighter note... I was able to make 1 last project.. in my squeaky clean and organized stamp room.. Let's just say that now my desk isn't as organized and clean as it was... LOL If you were to ask my sister she'd tell you.. I was never clean and organized when we were growing up so why start now? LOL

I apologize for the lighting. I guess I didn't use the best lighting when I was snapping this photo on Sunday. This card was for a very close friend of the family who lost her husband on Friday. Bill had been sick for many years and he was called home to be with the angels. When we paid our final respects on Tuesday and said Good-bye their was such a look of peace in his face. It's comforting to know.. He's definitely no longer in pain.. Bill, you've left a smile on all of our hearts..

Here's my recipe for this card.. Cardstock... River Rock, Buckaroo Blue, Wild Asparagus DS paper, Very Vanilla... Stamps... Out on a limb (PTI)... Ink.. Soft Sky, River Rock and Close to Cocoa... Accessories... Hodgepodge Hardware

And on a final note... I'm not sure if you're aware but there's a brandy spankin new stamp company opening it's doors tomorrow (Friday)... I love the sneak peaks they've had so far and this company seems to be right up my alley.. It's called Saltbox Studio.. I've added a link to their store and to their blog off to the left... Head on over and check them out.. You won't be disappointed... :)

So, I'll now be away for a few days.. but I promise.. I'll be back next week to let you all know how I'm doing.. Thanks again for all of your support...

Hugs,

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Morning everyone... Happy Tuesday. :) Here's a little something I came up with (thanks to our pal SweetMissDaisy and her awesome jar idea).. I needed 2 jars. 1 as a reveal gift for my little sister.. And the other for Maria who was my Winter Blues Partner. Since one of my most favorite color combinations are brown and pink I thought.... hmmm.. what better than chocolate and the new strawberry milkshake Whoppers?
For this project I found the jars at Wal-mart. I wish they had the next size smaller but these worked well (and I'm sure it gave Debbie & Maria a chocolate over haul when they dug into the malted milk balls. If these were mine I wouldn't have stopped until my stomach was churning... LOL) I then used pretty in pink, one of the DS paper's from my stash and very vanilla card stock. I stamped the sentiment from Time well spent in timber stazon and colored them with my copic markers.. Then came the embossing. I embossed the flowers from again Time Well spent in pink (on very vanilla) and brown (on pretty in pink) and then started cutting them out. Once they were all cut out I applied yellow and pink eyelets to the centered and then adhered them to the lid. I tied a light pink grosgrain ribbon to the lid and a wide grosgrain ribbon was tied to the jar. And finally I filled them with the whoppers... This would be a really neat idea for someone who doesn't get out much during the winter.. There should be enough chocolate here to hold them for at least a day or two.. Especially if the jar was in my house.. LOL
Here was my inspiration jar... This jar was filled with friendship tea from one of my favorite bloggers Michelle Wooderson (oh how I wish were neighbors... ). I've attached the link so that you can all pick up her recipe. She's sooo awesome !!! Thanks Michelle for your daily inspiration..
Well everyone. I'll have 1 more project to post before my surgery on Friday. So please stop back to check 'er out. Then I'll be away for a few days.. But I promise. I'll be back..
Happy stamping :)

I'm finally organized

Happy Sunday everyone. Well, like I promised my stamp room is finally cleaned and organized. I couldn't bear the thought of being in the hospital for a few days and coming home to that mess... So YIPEE !!! I can stamp again. Ok, Ok, I'll fess up. Before it was finished I did have to sneak in and make 1 project. That's only because I had to get it in the mail before the deadline... Stop back this week and I'll show it to ya...

So here goes... Here's a look at my desk, paper holders and new Making Memories Embellishment holder... I'm pretty impressed with how I did... :)







And here's a look at all of my shelves and supplies. My favorite is the wicker basket holding my punches (my large punches are standing up on the basket so their easily accessible). All of the stamps stacked on the top shelf by the ribbon jars.. They'd be my new stamps from the spring/ summer catty that just came last week. I need to mount them. That'll give me something to do when I get home from the hospital next weekend.

Speaking of hospital. Thank you all for your well wishes for my FIL.. The good news is he's home.. The bad news is he's not out of the woods yet. But he is making progress and on his way to recovery.

Happy Stamping everyone :)

My never ending quest to be.... "organized"...

Do you ever feel like you're completely un-organize? I absolutely hate that feeling. Between work, overtime, dr appointments, stamping projects, your never ending to-do lists.. the list just goes on and on and on....
Many of you have asked where I get my inspiration. Honestly I get it from many of you. Especially you bloggers out there. In the fall I came across this post from one of my favorite bloggers Julie Brooks... It was her dh's (darling hubby's) labor of love. I just knew I needed one of these for me.. At the time she had links to the pages so that we could print them. I'm not sure what happened to them on her blog...

Here was my attempt at my 2008 planners... I made 3. 1 for myself, 1 for my BFF Colleen (she is the 'queen' of post-it-notes... I figured having everything in 1 place would be really good for her.. And I made 1 for a friend at work...

First let me tell you.. these binder's were not easy to find. I was able to locate them online at OfficeMax (I went into 3 and none had this smaller size). They are 9X6.. and were approximately $5.50 each...

This is the cover of my planner.... I used Wild Asparagus DS paper, MayArt chipboard, rub-ons, dew drops, spellbinders tag punch, and whimsical #'s..
Ink... Blue Bayou, Soft Sky, Sahara Sand




Colleen loves the color purple.. So I used my Melissa Francis paper's for her cover. The roses were diecuts that came with the paper that I embossed with clear embossing powder to give them a little added dimension. The letter's were rub-on's I purchased at Wal-mart.

And finally, this was the cover to Jenn's planer. For this cover I used Cosmo Cricket Dutch Girl DS paper, MS twill ribbon, rub-ons, Whimsical Numbers stamp set and Mellow Moss ink.


Here's a look at the divider tabs... For each I've used coordinating DS papers.. My personal planner has 7 tabs... Calendar, Budget, Birthdays, Directory, Weight Loss Tracker, Notes & Projects.. The tabs were punched out using the Round Tab punch and stamped with Totally Tabs in Blue Bayou.

The calendars were so much fun to make.. I found the 'month' stamps in Michael's the day after Christmas. They were on sale for less than $5.00.. I alternated the colors of the months. In my particular calendar I used Sahara Sand & Blue Bayou. Each calendar page was stamped with coordinating images. For my calendar I choose spiral bouquet.. For an extra added touch, I used the HB stamp from by birthday stamp set... to stamp each calendar day that had a birthday on it...
Please click on the images to enlarge them...
If you would like any of the templates for the planner pages, please email me and I will happily email them to you...
And, before I sign off... My FIL is still in ICU.. Yesterday we thought he was making progress when really he was taking 2 steps back.. Please keep him in your prayers...
Enjoy...
Happy Stamping :)
